Quick WO over lunch. Incline felt a bit heavier than I thought it would. Reps were controlled and paused, but I think I was still feeling the WO’s from the weekend. Pulldowns on the machine were good. Love this machine. Then I did shoulder press with 1-arm iso rows. Next I did rope extensions and straight barbell curls. Rope extensions bothered my elbow a fair amount. Have to stay on top of that. Finished up with some heavy weighted crunches, rear delt fly’s and chest flys. Nothing special, but decent work.
Weight:
I weighed 176.4 this morning. I was 180#’s Monday morning (yesterday) after weekend refeed. Overdid it. I’ve been dieting for about 6 weeks and got down to 167#’s last week. This week will be a bit of a diet break. I’ll still be under maintenance since I’ve been having weekend refeeds during the 6 weeks, but won’t diet as hard as I have been.

After refeed yesterday, goal of today’s WO is to go heavy and work hard. Started with incline/bent-over-row superset. Incline started well for first 2 sets just like last time with 85#’s. TodayI wanted to do 4 sets with 85#’s rather than dropping to 80’s. On the 3rd set, I couldn’t get the DB’s into place because of my R shoulder. I had to take a minute and then grabbed the 80’s. Barely got them into place. Did 2 sets with 80#’s and then raised incline angle and did a set with 65# DB’s. I was a bit disappointed, but this was still actually fairly good work. The BOR’s went well but definitely got heavy in the latter sets. Then I did shoulder press machine and pulldowns.
Next I did heavy overhead triceps extensions (2 heavy sets + a back-off set) with 2 sets EZ bar curls and a set of hammer curls. Next I did 2 sets heavy rear delt pulls with heavy weighted crunches. Then I did chest fly with more crunches. Good WO.
Weight:
I weighed 176.0 this morning. Yikes, didn’t want to be quite that high.

Quick WO Saturday morning just to get some work in and prepare for high-carb refeed. Not much to say about the WO other than a few movements felt heavier than what I thinkthey should have. Probably just low energy from the diet.
Weight:
I weighed 169.4 this morning. Feeling pretty good.

Evening WO with Sarah. I was debating on whether to go heavy or moderate today. I felt good during warmup, so I decided to go fairly heavy, but low volume. Want to go heavy this weekend.We started with incline and I got 2 great controlled sets with 80#DB’s and a back-off paused set with 70’s. First set felt easy. 2nd set went really well and back-off set felt great. Very pleased with these at this weight. Pulldowns were fairly heavy for first 2 sets. Two women were using the pulldown machine when we were up for our 3rd set, so we did a set of pull-ups. I did 15, which was great, especially after already doing 2 sets of heavy pulldowns. Great first superset of exercises.
Then we did shoulder press with inverted rows. Two sets of 10 on shoulder press was an improvement over last WO. Then we did overhead triceps extensions with curls (1 EZ bar, 1 hammer curl).My right elbow didn’t feel great during tri extensions. Then we did a combination of rear delt work, heavy crunches and a set of chest raises. FANTASTIC WO. In and out in under 50 mins. Hit it hard, but with fairly low volume so I should be able to be ready for back-to-back WO’s this weekend. Plan is to do a moderate, low volume WO on Saturday, start refeed and hit it hard onSunday.
Weight:
I weighed 170.6 this morning. Feeling very strong after last night’s WO for this weight and about 4 weeks into the diet. As I write this (Thursday AM), I weighed 168.8 this morning. Definite refeed this weekend and then I might take a week at maintenance for a diet break and hopefully help my shoulder and elbow heal a bit.

Great WO today. Started with incline/pulldown combo. Great incline, controlled reps and pulldowns were good. Next was shoulder press and seated rows. My R elbow has been a little wonky today, so I did rope extensions instead of heavy overhead extensions. Not sure if it helped. Supersetted curls with triceps. Then we did rear delts and fly’s (2 sets each) with 4 sets of crunches. We did leg raises in the Capt. Chair during warmups.
Maintaining strength very well so far while slimming down. Think I may have even gotten a little stronger based on incline and pulldowns today.
Weight:
I weighed 172.2 this morning. Feeling strong, weight is coming down.

WO over lunch today. Was debating about doing something moderate in weight or trying to go heavy with low volume. Didn’t feel like I had a lot of energy and this weekend was hard from a WO perspective, plus the diet made me stick with moderation. Incline was good. Not real heavy, but paused reps, so still got some good work in. Pulldowns were good. Then I did shoulder press with bent over rows. Both pretty good. Overhead triceps extensions were good, although my R elbow was barking at me. Curls were OK. Heavy weighted crunches were good. Going to keep weight progression going here. Finished up with some rear delt, chest raises and body weight crunches. As has been the routine lately, I did leg raises in the captain’s chair during warmups. Good WO. Really hungry and nothing but a bunch of protein in my future today :(
Weight:
I weighed 173.4 this morning. Down from 180 Monday morning. Ate enough sushi Sunday night to feed a family.

Felt pretty good during warmup and no ill effects from yesterday’s WO, so I decided to go as heavy as I could. Started incline with 85#DB’s for 2 good sets and dropped to 80#’s for the 3rd and 4th sets. I would’ve liked to stick with 85’s for 4 sets, but getting them into place is hell on my R shoulder. I feel I’m plenty strong for the weight, but the shoulder just doesn’t like the heavy DB’s when getting them up from a real low position. Still very pleased with these. Supersetted incline with heavy pulldowns. Next we did shoulder press with bent over rows. I started shoulder press with 55#DB’s for the first set, but I felt pain in my R shoulder so I dropped to 50’s for the last 2 sets. BOR’s were good - 2 underhand sets, 1 overhand.
Next we did heavy DB triceps extensions for 2 sets, plus a back-off set, combined with a set of EZ bar curls and hammer curls. Then we did chest fly with heavy rear delt work. Finished up with chest raises and weighted crunches. Very good WO. Hard work.
Weight:
I weighed 175.4 this morning, up from 171 yesterday. Continue refeed today and back to dieting Monday.
