Weight? 177.8

Trying to accept that it just is what it is, I dont have a functional house right now so everything is off, oh and I finished dinner at 9 last night, so nothing is really on track, but man its getting frustrating.

Saturday, cleaned house all day, wrapped up around 9pm.

Sunday, I needed a break so took my son out on a drive/hike. That also went pretty late when all was said and done, but it was an amazing day weather wise. I did take a bit of a fall navigating a creek, we wanted to get to the top of the Waterfall, and my tricep and wrist are sore from catching myself but we will see if I hit the gym later.

176.0

We came, we pushed, we maybe tore that triceps on the first heavy set, and called it.

Ah, no. What happened?

Ah, no. What happened?

When I fell in the creek on Sunday, I caught all my weight on my left arm, my feet had slipped on a log. The triceps felt tight that night, but it loosened up throughout Monday.

Warmup was fine, and a warmup set on Bench was fine, and them I loaded it up and got 7 reps, but that last rep was a struggle and once I racked it I knew it was pulled/torn. Started to swell a bit, discomfort just extending it, so no way I was going to be able to continue chest, tried a set of light pull downs, and that was a no go.

So! I messed up what was already somewhat compromised.

I'll give it the week, and see.

I may do legs today, but we are in the home stretch here for our current renos goals, it's all going to be done by mid May, so maybe I work on that.

I did get in yesterday after work. I did NOT like how warm it was in there with it hitting 70 degrees outside.

Wednesday 4/15:

• Smith inclined barbell bench 105x12 pause +2, 105x11 +100x2, 105x9 +100x2, 100x7 +95x2. Pretty comparable to last time. Maybe a tiny bit of progress.
• Machine biceps curls 75x25, 75x18, 75x18. Pretty steady, which I'll take after I recently increased weight slightly.
• Rear delt flies: 90x17, 90x15, 90x15 (+1 rep, steady, steady). This felt good and had that tiny bit of progress despite not having done this one in a couple of weeks. I do think this works well alongside the chest and biceps.

My schedule right now, between running games, family commitments, and dating, is making it tough to get in three times a week, but I managed to get back in last night again.

Tuesday 4/21:

• Smith inclined barbell bench 105x12 +100x3, 105x12 +100x3, 105x8 +100x2, 100x5 +95x2. Some regression here but close.
• Machine biceps curls 75x23, 75x19, 75x20. (-2 reps, +1 rep, +2 reps). Basically steady.
• Rear delt flies: 90x15, 90x15, 90x15 (-3 reps, steady, steady). This felt a little harder than last time. Maybe a seat height difference.

And on the plus side, my brother from another mother who originally got me into the gym, and whose neighborhood I moved into a few months ago, is starting daily walks after work now that the weather's nicer, and I'm going to get in on some of those.

I didnt go do Legs yesterday. Feeling a bit under the weather, wanted to rest.

Regretting it now of course, so I'll go do legs tonight. Was 177.8 this morning, not unexpected since I really didnt burn any energy yesterday.

I'm going to be slammed till May 2nd with either reno prep, or contractors, as we get the bathroom completed and prepare for the flooring install.

After that, its just paint though! There is a minor light at the end of the tunnel lol

Legs was decent, but it was just too busy. I'll be back in on Friday for Upper, maybe I take it easy on the triceps.

Big rebound day.

Didn't weigh in but I estimate 178 based on gym weight.

Took it gentle, some warm up sets I normally would bypass, but was able to push pretty much at par on everything.

Sun shining, had the glorious pump walking to the car.

Indeed, 178.6 this morning. Pretty stiff all over with legs only 3 days ago, and a long session yesterday.

Diet has not been on point, pretty inflamed/holding water I think but I'll be 'done' the majority of this phase of reno work by the 10th so I'll get back on track.

Turns out 6 hours of sanding and scrubbing is an upper body workout. So much for recovery from yesterday.
