Weigh in: 182.8 horrible workout. I jammed my left middle finger yesterday really bad, and I couldn't hold on to a damn thing. I went until I felt like I was giong to black out from pain, but that didn't get me far. Pullups 8 Seated Calf Raise 90x9 140x8 160x8 Deadlift 155x6 225x6 nearly blacked out 185x2 HS Lat Pulldown 140x10 180x8 200x3 pain Laying Hamstring Machine (single leg) 35x6 40x10 HS Compound Row 230x8 250x0 ouch BB Curl 40x12 50x10 60x8 slight pain, no big deal i can just lay the weight on my open palm if i have to. this workout really bummed me out. I took the opportunity to try out the hamstring machine to help with the next deadlift session, which I'm going to hit so hard because this one frustrated me. Time to ice my hand.

Weigh in: 181lb After some thinking, I've decided to try and cut down to about 170lb and lose more of this all over body fat. I don't think losing this weight will be too hard, I was barely gaining as is so I won't even modify my diet too much. I'm also going off the creatine after my dextrose cool-aid runs out as that's 300Cal of simple carbs a day right there. Bench Press 135x6 175x2 170x3 165x3 Hammer Strength V-Squat 90x10 180x10 370x12 360x10 450x8 I couldn't find any adjustments on this machine and there was no way I'm going to parallel on these, so I just kept packing on weight... it was definitely hard at 450 but basically not a squat as I know them. (I would have been squatting but on one squat rack a guy was doing BB curls, and on the other rack the guy was doing squats moving about 5% of the range of motion I do with 225lb on there and sumo to boot... but at least he wasn't doing BB curls) Tricep Pulldown 120x8 Had to kill time until I could get a useful spot Dips 12 10 10 ATG? Squats 95x6 115x5 135x6 I'm going pretty damn low, I need to take a video to find out what I can do to improve form on these, I'm kind of at a loss when it comes to squats, I'll take a camera in the next couple weeks.

Well, I'll preface this one by saying my finger on the left hand still isn't 100%, so I had to stop early, but otherwise I felt pretty strong toda. Weigh in: 179.4 Pullups: 9 Deadlift: 135x6 195x6 225x6 275x2 Got both of these clean, went for three, felt my glutes squeeze, but none of the other muscles wanted to fire... pretty happy as the other time I tried 275 I didn't lock out on #2 I'll up to 205 and 235 next time for my main 6 rep sets next DL workout pending finger condition. BarBell Curls: 60x10 70x6 60x7 DB BO Row: 45x10 finger can't take these Wide PullDown: 140x10 180x10 Finger can't take any more of this either. Workout Done. I've cut my calories by probably 500/day now, 300 right away by stopping the creatine/cool aid mix, and just skipping like an extra protein bar that I was eating along w/ cottage cheese for a snack, now just the cottage cheese w/ some fruit. I can't help but eat a good amount of food right after a workout if it's available to me, but I'm not sweating it too much. Energy level was really good for this workout, which helped me push through a very painful finger much better than last time.

Why only one set of Pullups? I see you have gone up one rep. Good job. Just wondering why you don't do 2 or 3 sets to failure? Great way to warm everything up, it is a compound exercise that will help build your grip too. I hated pullups when I started and I think that they are an overlooked exercise. Keep up the work!

I'm feeling very injured lately, I'm going to skip the weekend weights and take it easy w/ some light cardio to let my body heal up, right shoulder and knee (older injuries that have been recently aggravated) and left hand mostly, and make sure my diet is under control. Bench: 135x7 155x7 190x0 even closer this time, I thought I was there but I just couldn't move it those last 4 inches or so. 170x2 Squat 115x7 155x7 PR 175x1 my knee felt a little funny so I stopped midset here, even though I felt I could do a few more Seated Calf Raise 100x10 160x6 160x9 Rope PullDown 140x8 155x5 110x12 Rope Crunch 170x10 235x2+215x8 215x8

Weigh in: 180.6 As long as I'm not gaining while trying to lose, no big deal. I need to make sure to do cardio as I'm no longer running, marathon idea was cancelled. My main new goal however is to cut 20 minutes off from my first sprint triathlon this past september at the same event next year. 5 minutes will come from transitions, and at least 7 from swimming which I will start to do a lot of when my shoulder is okay. So anyways, I woke up this morning, and my knee feels bad, mostly hurts when I push off taking a step, but most of all when descending stairs or walking downhill (back, right side of knee) This injury took me out of running for over a month but it was as much my fault for keeping running hard when there was discomfort as anything else. One week off without question now.

Weigh in: 180.0 Well, I couldn't manage to stay completely out of the gym, my workout buddy wanted me to go spot him. I decided I'd just do a real light workout. Bench: 135x6 190x1 PR.. felt so easy 200x0 this didn't feel to good on my shoulder and reminded me why I was supposed to take a week out of the gym well, that was it pretty much nice to hit the 190 though
