Our Physical Fitness

Between the weight loss and not going as regularly lately I've been feeling a bit shrunken and weak, so I was itchy to get back last night. Did a little elliptical, machine chest press for three sets, standing barbell curls (busy night at the gym and the dumbbell benches were full) three sets with a drop set on the last one, hack squat three sets, and machine triceps extensions. Everything else I'm pretty stable on, but added weight and reps to the triceps extensions, so that's nice. I want to get back into the 3-4 times a week habit. Hopefully by the time I finish with the hip PT.

Failed on my goal, day 2. A bit too much swelling on one of my knees, and I'm paranoid about knees, so giving the legs a break for a few days.

Still doing Chest/Shoulder after work.

Yea, absolutely take care of them. One of my longstanding issues is helped by copious amounts of stretching, but I can’t always do that.

Long long ago, I ripped up the meniscus in both, and they have not been structurally sound since always just that little bit of instability, and so its easy for me to get tweaked a bit.

Lame, but considering how dumb I've been with the shoulder I'll try and consider this a mature response to limit future pain. :LOL:

All the big boys were then in my way, so called it.

Very happy to be repping at 200 again, next week, 90s on the Dips.
 

Last night I ran around in circles.

Saturday morning weigh in and body comp check. I've been consistent in my training, but the diet has been trash at the end of the semester.

Weighing in at 166.2 lbs and 17.8% body fat. If I want to get to 12%, it means I have to lose 9 or 10 pounds and not lose any muscle in the doing. Ugh. I've found I can lose a pound and a half per week pretty reliably without losing much strength. So, I think the next 6 weeks will have to be pretty on point.

I'm sticking with Nippard's Essentials workout (5/week) with a few mods: a couple sets of deadlifts on the rather light Lower day, and doing high rep sets for shoulder and chest presses until my shoulder completely heals. I'll post on check in days (Saturdays) to see if I'm making progress.
