174.8 this morning.

No workouts this weekend, but today was a full day of reno work.

Another layer of plaster on my repaired ceiling.
A few touch ups on the bathroom, and another coat of paint there.
Pulled out the last of the flooring/carpet on my main floor, we are going to get that estimated hopefully Mon/Tue.

Food was not the worst, I'm about to clean off all this dust and get a good dinner in, and hopefully relax a bit before...work starts tomorrow? lol

Was 176 this morning, I had a pretty big dinner so thats probably that.

Upper was solid, even though I was a bit sick today, too much paint fumes yesterday I think lol.

Bench was good.
Dips was good.
Incline press was better actually, but then I went too heavy on BoBR and only got 5 reps.
Even my Dumbell Incline at 90's was solid, at 9 reps.

So, all told not bad.

Legs tomorrow, I probably have a lighter dinner.

Two weeks smoke-free. Had light sessions this past week to ease my way back in, and had an extended cardio session yesterday. Feeling good and ready to hit it hard this week!

Woo!

No Legs today. Woke up, 176, real sore in the upper body. Had an early call, clients just not on the ball lately, and then...5 hours of renos/cleaning/house work to prep for having my ceiling replaced, aka "You think you live here, but get everything out of your main floor, enjoy!"

Renos.while.living.there.are.hell.

So no, we did not get there on the Legs. Maybe tomorrow, but now I'll have a contractor in my house all day Wed/Thur/Fri.

Not great.

Didn't even weigh in this morning. My flow is a mess.

Got there on Legs, all good, but I didn't push it really, and too many people for me to steal all the plates for press. Blah.

Off day tomorrow, then Upper. Chest is still a bit pumped from Monday.

Another gap after Thursday 4/2, getting back in last night Wednesday 4/8.

• Smith inclined barbell bench 102.5x16, 105x12 +100x2, 105x8 +100x3, 100x7 +95x2 (same, +2.5lbs -1 rep & -1 drop set rep, +2.5lbs -1 drop set rep, +2.5lbs -2 reps). Bumping up the weight slightly.
• Machine biceps curls 75x22, 75x217, 75x20 (+2.5lbs -1 rep, +2.5lbs -3 reps, 2.5lbs +1 rep) Bumping the weight slightly here as well.
• Machine seated row 110x10, 110x12, 110x12. Last tried this in Feb, I think, and was doing 100lbs for 15, 15, 12. I hadn't done back in a couple of weeks; need to re-establish my overall 3+ day/week routine.

Sleep still not ideal, though I think I had a good night's last night. Onward.

I go to the gym 4x a week. I can do 50 push ups in less than a minute. I am still putting weight on (thank you, middle age). Diet is the hardest part. I am also trying to just accept that my 57 year old body looks like a 57 year old body. Not easy. "Time is a stalking beast, Picard..."

175.4, pretty high inflammation I think.

Speaking of inflammation (and of fitness/health), I just went and got updated on my Covid booster and got my first dose of the Shingles vax, in my left shoulder. The soreness is real. I plan to hit the gym tomorrow though.
