Forgot to add that weight is back up to 210. I was down around 202-203 at the end of summer (lifting infrequently and cutting back on food). Hopefully the strength starts coming back with the added weight.

Good deal Joe.......strength will be back quickly. Muscle memory is a great thing.

I hear ya.

Me, myself and I had a come to Jesus meeting about reality not long ago. I have decided that I've probably seen my highest lifts (unless enhanced) and in all actuality I'd be healthier if I leaned down and lifted more for maintenance & health.

11/4 Leg Fun

Squats
135x8
135x8
225x8
225x6
225x6

DB SLDL
85x8
85x8
85x8

Leg Press (plt wt)
400x8
600x6 This felt heavy as **** tonight for some reason. I had some funkiness (for lack of a better word) going on in the right ankle, so I quit here. Almost like a rolled my ankle or something. It's fine this morning.

Extensions
165x10
180x10

HS Seated Calf Raise
2plx15
2plx15

Need more calf work. Open for suggestions here - I have fat-ass ankles and small calves, so I'm really wanting to blast them and see if I can't spark some growth. The HS seated raises I've been doing aren't really doing much. I've been thinking about hitting them every-other workout, maybe adding some standing raises?

Do them DC style....Sets of 12 with a 10 second negative on each rep and a 5-10 second hold/stretch at the bottom.

Definitely do standing raises and probably doing them every other workout will help. Also mix up the set/rep schemes. Do some heavy/low rep and heavy/high rep. I say heavy for both b/c in my eyes, the amount of weight being used is relative to the reps...so heavy weight at high reps isn't the same as heavy weight at low reps.

Boyd will probably be able to give you better direction though.

Sunday and Monday were a nice combination of legs/back from humping 40# UPS batteries all over the facility, up/down stairs/etc. Woot. Nice combination of step ups and bent rows, things like that.

Last night was chest, probably the worst session at the gym I've had in a long time. I was pretty down on myself when I left last night, but I think I have it figured out....diet was off yesterday - I was hungry when I got to the gym, and it certainly impacted my performance.

So for the lols...

Flat Bench
135xwarm
185x8
225x3
225x2 wtf I was thinking to myself, the whole time. I've been hitting 225x4-5 for three sets here.

Incline DBs
70x6
70x6
70x5 A little better, but this was certainly harder than it should have been

Dips
BWx10
BWx10
BWx8

Cable X Overs
60x8
60x8

Tri Pressdowns, straight bar
120x15
130x10

Done. So I left down. Lesson learned. A solid preWO meal is in order. Don't miss it.

Been fighting a nice sinus infection since late last week (which may have contributed to the poor chest session last week as well). Finished up a Z pack today, starting to feel a bit better finally. May wait another day or so to rest up before I head back to the gym.
