Pull day. I wasn't sure if we could deadlift in this gym, and we didn't want to take up too much of the rack space with 2 of us, so we shared a bar and did SLDL. Started off with what I thought might be a decent working weight and moved up since it felt light. 225#'s was a good working weight. Then we did 4 sets seated rows, 2 wide grip, 2 narrow grip. Next were 4 sets pulldowns, 2 wide, 2 narrow.  Next we did face pulls and palloff presses.  Then we did curls and crunches. Finished up with rear delt fly's and supermans.  Another solid WO away from home.

Push day at Ida Lee gym in Leesburg. Started with incline and got 3x5 and just missed the 5th rep on the 4th set. We did a back off set of paused reps. Next we did squats for 3 good sets. Getting away from box squats now that my legs are gaining just a bit of strength. Felt good, good depth. Next we did shoulder press. Felt heavy. Then we did cable fly's and weighted crunches.

Pull day. Yesterday we spread a lot of mulch in the yard and my back was feeling really fatigued. Legs still weren't feeling great either.  I was planning on working up to a top set of deadlifts at 275#'s.  But as I was warming up, I started to feel better and just decided to go with 275# working sets and see how far I got. Felt good throughout, but should have stopped on last set at 8 or 9 reps. The 10th broke form and that's a good way to get my old ass hurt! This was near max pull effort.  Pleased with the effort though.  Next we did bent over rows and I had to drop weight after 2 sets.  Then we did 2 sets of pull-ups and 2 sets of band pulldowns. These 3 movement were a good workout in themselves!

Next we did seal rows with band woodchoppers. Then we did a set of incline curls, a set of hammer curls and a drop set of curls with 2 sets Palloff presses. Finished up with 2 sets of face pulls. Excellent WO.  Beat!

22 + 48 + 12 w/u = 83 mins

Push day. Started with incline and it felt pretty good, but only got 4 reps on 3rd set, so I dropped weight and finished the "5x5". Then we did a drop set of paused reps. Pretty good work. Next we did squats.  My legs were feeling really dead from a lot of leg pre-hab work during the week and maybe goblet squats mid-week.  Whatever it was, I wasn't progressing on weight today and went light. Still felt plenty heavy with sets of 10 on short-ish rest.  Then we did shoulder press for 3 sets.

Then we did incline fly's with weighted crunches.  Then we did 1-arm band fly's with more weighted crunches.  Band fly's felt much better than DB fly's. Keep tension on pec throughout the movement. Will do these more often.  Finished up with skull/press combo supersetted with supermans.  Solid WO.

27 + 3 = 30 mins

Afternoon WO. Started with DB incline and DB rows. Incline felt awful at first. 50#'s felt heavy, right shoulder and elbow hurt, traps hurt, hand hurt. Ugh. Felt better as I got warmed up, but still not great. Rows were fine.  Then we did shoulder press with pull-ups. Kept pull-ups easy since elbows are bothering me a bit. Then we did band extensions (triceps) and weighted crunches.  Finished up with curls and goblet squats.  Really liked goblet squats. 20 reps with pauses at the bottom got challenging, even with a light weight.  Good WO in 30 mins.

Nutrition/Weight:
I weighed 193.6 this morning.

63 + 7 = 70 mins

Started with deadlift and bumped 10#'s from last week. Felt ok warming up and felt strong as the sets went on. Didn't think I'd get 10 the last set, but dug in and got it. Took a decent rest after the last set and before starting bent over rows. I bumped the weight for BOR and got sets of 8 reps. Felt heavy. Next we did pull-ups. First set of 8 felt good, but since elbows have been painful lately, I did 2 sets of band pulldowns with the EliteFTS bands. Felt good. Next we did seal rows with Palloff presses.  Then curls with dynamic Palloff presses. Finished up with face pulls and crunches.  Very solid WO.

Nutrition/Weight:
I weighed 192.8 this morning. Less than yesterday, which is not normal for a Sunday.

Started with incline and was able to get 5x5 this week, then did 2 back-off sets of paused reps.  Very pleased with this. Since I'm beginning to lose weight I think I'll stay at this weight and not try to bump the weight up again next week. Then we did squats and I bumped up by 10 pounds. I was hoping to get sets of 6 reps, but 5's were all I felt comfortable with. We did 4 sets and then a backoff set. Worked hard on these sets. Then we did shoulder press for 3 sets plus a back-off set. Kept dropping weight each set, they all felt heavy. Next we did incline fly's for 2 sets with 2 sets weighted crunches. Then we did chest raises with 2 more sets of weighted crunches.  Finished up with skull/press combo, supersetted with supermans.  Very good WO.

Wednesday evening WO. Started with incline and rows, both with dumbbells. 50#'s was going to be a warmup set, but it felt like a working set today, so I just went with it and bumped the weight for the 2nd and 3rd sets. Today is a light/recovery day. Then I did 2 sets shoulder press and pull-ups. Pullups are bothering my elbows. Need to stay on top of this.  Then I did triceps extensions and weighted crunches.  Finished up with curls, body weight squats and rear delt band pulls. Good WO in 30 mins. Hot in the garage this evening.
