Monday evening 8/3:

• Machine biceps curls 92.5x22 +82.5x6, 92.5x20 +82.5x5, 92.5x16 +82.5x6.
  +2 reps 1a steady 1b, +4 reps 2a +1 2b, +3 reps 3a +2 3b. I feel like my ROM was also a bit improved today. Right elbow complaining a little, though.
• Machine seated row 150x19, 150x17, 150x16.
  +1 rep set 1, steady sets 2 and 3. Hard work. I think I did manage to improve my ROM/form a little, at least on set 1.
• Machine overhead shoulder press 50x17, 50x15 +40x5, 50x13 +40x5
  +1 rep set 1, steady 2a and 2b, +2 reps 3a and steady 3b. REALLY fighting for those last reps, shoulders cracking on a few of them. Again if I can hold steady and feel less strained doing this next time, I'll be satisfied. Adding reps would be gravy.

Did not weigh in, morning went sideways as soon as the day started. Yay for 'oh you took a day off? Enjoy the catch up.'

I'm not even sore from yesterday, so I dont know what's going on there, my recovery was trash, didnt sleep...so...weird?

I'm going to take out some annoyance on my Legs today, and will hit the Arms tomorrow because I'm feeling salty lately and need to burn it out.

Legs was decent. Hack was stronger, preess went up to 10 plates + 15 lbs per side for 15.

The glutes, suffer.

Biceps and abs tomorrow.

180 - Upper is not sore at all, Legs also dont seem bad lol

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong (right?) but I would have expected some stiffness.

Hit arms, was OK. Would have been better if a WASP had not stung me 20 min before my workout.

Wednesday 8/5:

• Smith inclined barbell bench 120x7 +110x4 +100x4, 120x5 +110x3 +100x2, 120x4 +110x2 +100x2, 100x9, pause, +1.
  -1 rep each 1a, b, c, -2 reps each 2 a, b, c, +1 rep 3a & steady 3b and c, +5 reps set 4. My shoulders felt a little stiff and painful, especially the right one, going into this. I tried stretching and loosening them but not with much success. :/
• Face pulls 35x30, 35x30, 35x30.
  +5lbs -5 reps, steady, steady. First set easier than last time. Still real work getting those later reps on all three sets. Having to pause at extension repeatedly and resume in the second and especially the third.
• Machine pec flies 100x12, 120x12, 120x10 +100x4.
  Stacking a second chest exercise in the same set for some more volume, and since I had to wait for the triceps machines to open up. 1: -20lbs and the drop set, 2: +3 reps - the drop set, 3: +20lbs -3 reps 3a & +10lbs and +1 rep 3b
• Right (yes, I think this one is a little easier) machine triceps pressdowns 110x24, 120x26 +110x6, 130x23 +120x5.
  1:-20lbs & the drop set, 2a -10lbs +6 reps 2b -10lbs +1 rep, +3 reps 3a steady 3b

Overall happy. This has been a real help lately in dealing with stressors.

180 on the nose this morning, real bad sleep, legs are a bit sore, a bit of bicep soreness, dealing with some real life annoyances today, and a doctor's appointment, but otherwise I'll hit a walk this afternoon, and that should be it today.

179.8, slept on my shoulder (dumb) but think I'll be fine for this afternoon.

Big Upper hopefully, and then its supposed to be a nice weekend if the smoke clears.

Upper was good, just finished my post lift shake.

Everything felt pretty good, and considering I also worked out Wednesday (Arms/Shoulders) and recovery this week has been far from perfect, I'm pretty happy. Depending on what the wife has planned for the weekend I may go do legs, and get the mythical 5 workouts in for the first time in quite a bit.

Really feeling it across my shoulders, weights went up on Incline Bench to 2 plates a side, I may look to increase a few more things next week, we will see how Monday goes.

179.2, dinner was somewhat light, and that Upper really killed me. Pretty sure I do not have it in the tank to do legs. Will see how things feel when I get moving.
