Feeling real good this morning. Woke up somewhat sore, I didnt sleep well for a few reasons, but a bit of stretching, hot shower, feel better than I did Monday morning.

Legs today, 810 Press, maybe I drop Squat and just do Hack/Press/Dead? Kinda feeling like that may be in the cards, I dont know.

Yesterday was an Armor repair day and so a rest day and I went to bed super early. That was a good choice.

We have hit the point where I need Legs to be every 4 days.

My warm up set on Hack, I could feel I wasn't recovered, but this week is going to be a mess, so I figured we just push through.

510 Hack x 10.
Calf x 15 x 2, I think 3 plates. I need something better.
Dead at 200 x 10, progress!
Squat 300 x 9. Meh.
Extension 240 x 12, gotta go up.
Curl 130 x 10 up 5 pounds next time.
Press, 18 plates for 12. Yaaaaaaaaa buddy. Up again next. This is the only one that I don't feel a back or knee limiter on.
Decline setup x 15, slow burner for my weak ass abs. I used to do abs for an hour if I wanted to, oh how far we fall.... lol

Anyway I need another day to recover legs it seems. That's going to mess with my desire to keep days tied to workouts, but whatever.

Mon/Fri, Upper.
Tue/+4, Legs.
Wed when it fits, Arms?

Also, I fly on Friday, so miss that workout, so...Saturday becomes Upper...but then that messes up Monday?!?!

Argh!

Crushin' it!

Oh, and without accounting for inflammation, I was 192 on the scale lol.

Legs are sore, just had a cramp or spike of pain on my hip, this is a new one...

Top of the Tensor Fasciae Latae (can we get easier names please.) and the upper quad/hip flexor, yeah. For sure taking a week.

Arms.

Good: The delt stuff. Increased Reverse Pec Dec and Hip Cable for the side and rear.

Bad: A few of us fighting for free weights for biceps. Went too heavy, then too light, big meh.

Off now till Saturday, I have a bone bruise I think on my ring finger making gripping bars annoying so hopefully that heals.

May you all lift heavy!

(Weight was 192 again.)

Mega sore this morning.

I also now realize I've booked flights that are going to be really annoying and will essentially prevent any meaningful sleep until Saturday afternoon. Friday is going to be especially bad.

Present me would like to have a quick conversation with past me about why we did this, just to get a workout in on Saturday?

Still sick more than a week later. Probably need to focus more on sleeping longer.

I messed up my left hip last spring overdoing legs. Spent a few weeks squeezing in extra workouts before my old gym closed at the end of Feb and then maximizing a two week trial at a new gym. Though my pain was more around the gluteus medius and the quadratus femoris and piriformis.

Wound up needing some PT to strengthen the supporting hip musculature. Though in addition to that working, a bonus was that the PT exercises helped a lingering bit of left lower back injury from 2022.
