    Well I have all day tomorrow to ride as well. Usually with leg DOMS that is bad, it goes away pretty quick.

    Yeah, I was watching a video to get an idea of Bulgarian split squats and they showed the lunges version and mentioned how it hits glutes more. When I was doing those, I was thinking to myself...these aren't working, I don't feel anything in my glutes. Well I was wrong. LOL. Love how DOMS sometimes helps let you know what muscle you hit with an exercises.

    Sunday

    Chest

    Barbell Bench Press
    - 1 x 15 - 45.0 lbs
    - 1 x 05 - 65.0 lbs
    - 1 x 05 - 85.0 lbs
    - 1 x 05 - 95.0 lbs
    - 1 x 07 - 105.0 lbs
    Really wanted to hit 105 lbs this time with doing 5s since last time I only got to 100 lbs, although I wasn't sure if my shoulder could handle it. Was gonna try 5s at 100 lbs first but said screw it and went with the 10 lb jump to 105 lbs. When I got to rep 3, I was really getting worried that I would be able to get in all 5. But once I hit 5, I found that gave me even more energy so I decided to keep going and got in another 7 reps. May have been able to get in an 8th, but really not going to be pushing it too hard. Only 10 lbs from my 5 rep max weight of 115 lbs.

    Dumbbell Incline Bench Press
    - 3 x 08 - 17.5 lbs
    - 2 x 08 - 20.0 lbs
    Decided to do these light and really focus on pushing my ROM with my shoulder. Last time I tried inclined bench, it hurt to much to even do the bar, so figured I'd keep working with the dumbbells until my ROM is improved.

    Dumbbell Incline Fly
    - 2 x 08 - 20.0 lbs
    - 2 x 08 - 22.5 lbs
    - 1 x 08 - 25.0 lbs

    Barbell Decline Bench Press
    - 1 x 15 - 45.0 lbs
    - 1 x 08 - 65.0 lbs
    - 1 x 08 - 85.0 lbs
    - 1 x 08 - 90.0 lbs
    - 1 x 08 - 95.0 lbs
    Decided to give these a try...haven't done them since I messed up my shoulder. They weren't too bad. Will be adding these back in to my Chest day



    Abs

    Barbell Decline Bench - Situps
    - 5 x 08 - 45.0 lbs
    I've been wanting to try these for a while and since I was already using the decline bench press, I figured I'd give it a try. I used to do these with dumbbells and a regular decline bench but it was getting really awkward trying to get the heavier dumbbells into place. These weren't too bad, they definitely got harder around the 5th or 6th rep. But still was able to power thru them and get in the reps I wanted. Next week going to try to keep increasing the weight 5 lbs each time and see how heavy I can get. Video of what I'm referring to below...



    Janda Sit Ups
    - 4 x 04
    - 1 x 00 (9 seconds)
    These were much harder since I did these as my second exercise. So my last set was really hard and no way I was gonna be able to get that rep up. Although felt really good when I did failed and my butt only drops less than half an inch to the bench. Means I was holding that rep almost at complete horizontal.

    Bent Knee Windshield Wipers
    - 5 x 10
    Found that these last week really hit my obliques well, so decided to do them. Only reason I don't do them more often, is usually by the time I'm doing abs...my hands are done for the day and the last thing I want to do is hang from a bar. I find captains chairs really don't hit my obliques the same way as if I'm hanging from a bar



    Notes:
    Really good workout. Very pleased with it and so glad to be moving forward with my bench. Granted, my shoulder isn't anywhere near 100%, but at least it looks like the strength is coming back. The gym was pretty much dead today, but that just made it easier to play around a bit. Got in a lot more than I normally have with chest in the past few weeks. Then again, with the shoulder injury, chest days have been so disappointing.

    Still feeling some bad DOMS from Friday's leg day. Still amazed how simple body weight single leg squats can destroy my legs that way. Actually has me looking forward to my next leg day.

    Yeah, I'm glad to be getting close to where I was before the injury. Still not there yet, but progress is progress.

    - 1 x 08 - 22.5 lbs
    - 1 x 10 - 22.5 lbs
    Decided to stop worrying about increasing the weight and focus more on increasing the ROM. Decided to go with dumbbells since I could get them lower and keep the weight lighter. Felt pretty good actually

    Smith Machine Shrug
    - 1 x 25 - 110.0 lbs
    - 1 x 15 - 140.0 lbs

    Went up in weight. Need to remember to start with my weaker arm next time.


    Compound Set

    Dumbbell One Arm Side Lateral Raise
    - 5 x 08 - 12.5 lbs

    Dumbbell Standing Alternate Front Raises

    Notes:
    Solid workout. Did more than I normally do. Really wanted to do some ab work afterwards, but did them yesterday and I won't do abs two days in a row unless I isolate obliques from upper/lower work.

    Thanks. And thanks for reminding me to get more full ROM with shoulder presses. I've been neglecting that aspect of the healing process and need to start working with that. As for Carnage...I don't think so. Really don't want to screw up my shoulder by pushing myself too much and the crew at SouthSide Iron is already full steam ahead on the prep for Carnage and I don't think I'm ready for that. Oh well, there will be plenty of them next year. I'm not in any rush. Will still probably go and help out though at the meet.

    Brainstorming

    Was reading a comment in a thread and it gave me an idea in regards to my bench. Fortunately since my bench is getting back to normal, I can try this idea...but I think it will help me with the mental aspect of my bench.

    One of my biggest issues with my bench is my descent. I waste so much strength/energy on controlling the descent way too much. I know I need to have control over my descent and I'm not looking to be one of those that just lets the bar fall on their chest and bounce it back up. But I'm seriously descending at a snails pace. It is probably cause I'm not really confident with the weight when it starts to get heavy. In the past I tried to speed things up a bit with lighter weight, but as soon as it got back to being heavy...



    Well someone mentioned negatives in reference to a bench and I thought, maybe I should try that. Figure, keep the safeties where they are, use my max weight right now and work on speeding up the negative. Granted, setup is gonna be a pain...will be probably be doing a lot of dead lifting of the bar while standing on the bench to get it back into position, but figured it may help me get over one aspect that I really think has been holding me back.

    Tuesday


    Biceps

    Dumbbell Alternating Hammer Curls
    - 1 x 12 - 30.0 lbs
    - 1 x 10 - 37.5 lbs
    - 3 x 10 - 40.0 lbs

    Dumbbell Concentration Curls - Slow reps (7 secs)
    - 4 x 06 - 30.0 lbs
    - 1 x 05 - 30.0 lbs
    Definitely progressing nicely with these.

    28s Barbell Bicep Curl - Alternating Grip Width
    - 2 x 28 - 30.0 lbs (slow controlled)
    - 2 x 28 - 30.0 lbs (slow last 7 reps)
    - 2 x 28 - 30.0 lbs (whatever necessary to get these done)


    Legs

    Single Leg Calf Raises
    - 5 x 08 - 1.0

    Single Leg Extensions
    - 1 x 08 - 25.0 lbs
    - 4 x 08 - 35.0 lbs

    Single Leg Press Machine
    - 1 x 08 - 40.0
    - 4 x 08 - 35.0
    Made the mistake of starting with my weak leg. Had to back down on the weight for the rest of the sets


    Notes:
    As always, excellent biceps workout. Glad to see my concentration curls going up. Really like the longer rep scheme since that makes it a lot harder plus keeps me honest with my reps. As for my leg workout...boy did this emphasize how much weaker one leg is then when you use both. In addition my left leg is definitely significantly weaker than my right. Really need to remember to start with the left leg since I'm so used to starting with my right. Didn't want to do too much tonight other than set my baseline with these exercises. Next week I'll try to push for heavier weight or more reps.

    I had to laugh. You're busting out sets of 10 with the 40's and I'm like "I think I need to drop back to the 10's to work on my form." LOL

    Funny how we all seem to have our strong points with working out. Just watching that vid of you doing farmer walks have my hands screaming to me that I am never allowed to even consider doing those. Don't know how you do it.

    Not doing anything today at the gym...hate it!!!! Woke up this morning perfectly fine until I tried to sit up to get out of bed. Shooting pain in my left middle trap area. The pain was pretty bad immediately after that but it has subsided a lot during the day. Still hurts to turn my head too much to the left or right, but I'm hoping this is going to be one of those things that gets better over night. But figured it wouldn't be a good idea to do dead lifting today. Not sure if I'll be able to do grappling tomorrow because of this...at the very least I really hope to at least get back to the gym tomorrow and do a light workout.

    In the mean time...still working on losing some weight. Determination has been good this week. And actually have been trying to eat better while cleaning out my fridge/freezer. This week has been broccoli / shrimp with an alfredo sauce. I've got some fish I plan on attack next as my protein source...but I'm thinking of cooking up all the broccoli tonight so all I have to do is reheat that stuff and don't have to worry about it going bad in the fridge. Now don't think I'm actually completely eating healthy. I have a lemon meringue pie in my fridge that is my other source of carbs which I'm slowly attacking. Haven't had lemon meringue pie in a long time. Given how slowly I'm eating it, should be gone in another week.

    Thursday


    Triceps

    Dips
    - 5 x 10
    Was surprised, these felt really good today. Got in a really good ROM.

    - 1 x 10 - 25.0 lbs
    - 1 x 10 - 27.5 lbs

    Notes:
    Good workout considering still feeling some pain with my pulled trap (at least I think it is the trap). Thinking about going to the woman that does massages at the gym...the one guy I know that goes there recommended her. Couldn't hurt I guess.

    Doing good losing weight. Already down to 119.0 lbs this morning. Hoping to get down a little more by tomorrow morning. Probably going to eat very little during the day tomorrow since I'll be going out for dinner. Really need to scope out the menu ahead of time.

    Friday - Part 1


    Legs

    Body Weight ATG Squats
    - 1 x 10 (Standard Stance)
    - 1 x 10 (Narrow Stance)

    Band Assisted Pistol Squats
    - 2 x 06 (1 Red)
    - 2 x 08 (1 Red)
    - 1 x 04 (1 Orange)
    Did pretty well all things considering. Was going thru a bit of a panic attack during these. Was really hard to catch my breath. Glad to at least make it to 1 orange band

    Pistol Squats to Bench
    - 1 x 10 (17" bench)
    - 1 x 05 (16" bench)
    Seriously, these were rough. Not easy trying to workout in the midst of a panic attack. Only pushing thru cause I'm hoping working out will help get me out of it


    Notes:
    Done with the home workout at this point. My left knee started to feel iffy as soon as my butt dropped below a certain point. Nothing major but don't want to push it. Thinking about heading to the gym to go clear my head and do a very light core workout. Still feeling a slight pain in my back. Not from working out the other day, but I can't sleep well at all. Beyond stress, my left shoulder and now pulling my back muscle...I'm lucky to be getting any sleep.

    Bad week to pick in order to cut. Managed to get down to 118.5 lbs from 123 lbs on Monday. 4.5 lb weight lost...sorry, not one for slow and steady when it comes to weight loss or weight gain. Trying to behave today since I'm going out with my friend for a dinner / movie and don't want to over do it before I get to dinner. Planning on keeping that meal to shrimp and veggies...maybe a little rice. But hoping to either maintain or gain a lb at most. This anxiety is really not helping since I'm my eating is highly associated to my emotions...and right now all I want to do is binge on the lemon meringue pie in my fridge. So really need to get to the gym so I'm not tempted.

    Maybe when I get back from the gym, I'll give me legs another try. Just a funky knee cap things.

    Took a bit of time, but managed to calm down the panic attack...but took a lot longer than I was expecting and a lot more to calm it. Normally walking/running helps but that only did enough to make me tired (that plus not sleeping well cause of this for the last few days). Managed to get a nap, but was still bothered. Fortunately a double of vodka on the rocks helped me for the rest of the night.

    Still feeling plenty of anxiety but not to the level of yesterday. Hoping this all gets worked out on Sunday so I don't have to deal with this anymore.

    Friday - Part 2


    Abs

    Janda Sit Ups
    - 5 x 15

    Leg Lifts into Hip Thrusts
    - 5 x 15
    Ended up not doing these the way I normally do. Going into a shoulder stand position was bothering my back, so I just did more of a rounding and actually used it more as a method of rolling out my back. Swear everything was cracking each time. Really considering getting a massage at the gym. The woman that does it comes highly recommended. Although thinking about getting an inversion table or gravity boots. Thinking the gravity boots may be better since I can use them for ab work as well.


    Notes:
    Couldn't really do too much with abs cause of my back still causing some problems. And the anxiety wasn't helping either. So ended up walking laps on the indoor track. Probably did that for over half an hour.

    Did snack a little bit when I got home from the gym and then went out to dinner. Got soft shell crab which really didn't set well with me...still isn't. Was hoping to maintain my weight or gain a pound at most. Wasn't expecting to lose 0.5 lbs. Oh well.

    Thanks...so do I. I just hope this doesn't weaken my immune system and set me up for a cold. Don't need to add that to the mix.

    Saturday


    Back


    Pull Ups
    - 1 x 15
    - 2 x 10
    Repeated my max number of pull ups in a row. Last time I was drunk and didn't really care if they were dead hangs. These were. Still probably could have gotten one more

    Climber Pull ups
    - 3 x 02
    Need to work on these more. I really think they will help me achieve my true one arm chin up

    Dumbbell One Arm Row - Slow reps with Hold
    - 5 x 08 - 35.0 lbs

    Reverse Flies
    - 1 x 12 - 45.0
    - 1 x 08 - 50.0
    - 1 x 08 - 55.0
    - 2 x 08 - 60.0

    Cable Straight Arm Push Down
    - 5 x 15 - 25.0

    Pull Ups
    - 2 x 08
    Finished up the rest of my pull ups


    Notes:
    Was sick this morning so didn't get much sleep...so pretty tired. Managed to settle my stomach enough to go to the gym. Kept things light and did exercises that didn't effect where I pulled my back on Wednesday. Must say, was pretty happy with the pull ups. These were pretty easy and no issues. Was actually surprised to get in that many reps considering I don't really focus much on pull ups these days beyond one arm chins.

    As for diet...actually after this morning, I didn't really worry about it. Just trying to get some food in my system that isn't going to upset my system. So as long as things are back to normal tomorrow, will try to get back on losing some weight.

    Sunday

    Chest

    Barbell Bench Press
    - 1 x 15 - 45.0 lbs
    - 1 x 03 - 65.0 lbs
    - 1 x 03 - 85.0 lbs
    - 1 x 03 - 100.0 lbs
    - 1 x 05 - 110.0 lbs
    Had the same situation as I did last week. My first rep wasn't a bit off...unbalanced and the right side tapped the safety which made it harder to get up. Got to the 2nd rep and was really wondering if I would be able to get to 3 since I was already feeling my legs pulsing. Got to the third rep and as soon as I managed to push thru it, decided I'd go for the fourth rep. Had some difficulty with that rep at my normal weak point (pushing it a few inches away from the chest), but it still went up pretty well. So took a second break at lock out, took in a deep breath and went for my 5th rep. Again, a little difficulty at my weak point, but went up. As of right now, I'm only 5 lbs away from my previous 5 rep max (115 lbs). So happy to be making so much progress right now even with the shoulder not being 100%...and also cutting...and not having my head in the game due to stress. But I think the thing that is really getting me excited is I'm finding pushing for more reps on my last set is helping me get over my mental plateau. I know I have a target of reps in my head and a weight...I completely psych myself out on every rep when I try that weight until I hit that rep...then my mentality changes and it becomes all positive from there. Hope to continue the progress.

    Bench Press Descents
    - 1 x 01 - 115.0 lbs
    Wanted to try these as a way to practice speeding bench press descent cause I go way too slow on those. Unfortunately, my shoulder really didn't care for these...so didn't want to push it and do any more sets/reps.

    Dumbbell Incline Bench Press
    - 2 x 15 - 20.0 lbs
    - 2 x 08 - 22.5 lbs
    - 1 x 15 - 22.5 lbs
    Upping the reps and weights gradually. They definitely cause discomfort in the shoulder but really trying to improve my ROM with my shoulder which I have been neglecting.

    Dumbbell Incline Fly
    - 2 x 08 - 22.5 lbs
    - 2 x 08 - 25.0 lbs
    - 2 x 08 - 27.5 lbs

    Barbell Decline Bench Press
    - 1 x 15 - 45.0 lbs
    Shoulder was taxed by this point...so didn't want to push it too much.



    Abs

    Barbell Decline Bench - Situps
    - 1 x 08 - 45.0 lbs
    - 4 x 08 - 50.0 lbs
    Adding 5 more lbs to these definitely made them harder. Was worried that I would have issues with these cause of pulling that muscle in my back, but that wasn't really a problem...they were just hard.

    Windshield Wipers
    - 1 x 05
    - 1 x 06
    - 3 x 07
    Haven't done these in a while since don't really have much room to try these. Free weight area was pretty empty today, so used the pull up bars between the cables. First set was iffy...takes a little warming up to get everything stretched out but it started coming back to me. Although I do still like the bent knee version as well since it is easier to get a really nice oblique pull without risking hurting your back cause of difficulty controlling legs when completely extended.

    Plank
    - 1 x 01 - 3 minutes
    Wanted to see how long I could hold a plank. Managed to make it a full 3 minutes. It must have been years since the last time I did a plank. I will say that it did bother my lower back a little bit.


    Notes:
    Considering everything going on, was very pleased with this workout and the progress with my bench. Still working on improving the shoulder, but that is still taking time. Was actually going to ice my shoulder after this workout, but by the time I got home and thought about it...it isn't bothering me in the slightest.

    Woke up feeling much better this morning. I did eat a lot more last night in an attempt to settle my stomach and also reset a little bit so I could continue on this cut. I like my drastic cuts, but I know that if I don't have a descent re-feed day, that the progress will take and so will my energy level. So the goal was to gain at least a little weight yesterday. Managed to add half a pound...was actually happy it wasn't more than that. Didn't really feel hungry at all this morning...wasn't until after the gym that I decided to make my main meal of the day. Tilapia filet with peas in an Alfredo sauce topped with grated Dubliner cheese. Must say, it was very good and will probably have the same tomorrow night. Was curious about the amount of calories that dish was and loosely I would have to assume it was close to only 400 calories. Okay, maybe if I am lucky 500. But was very filling for only that many calories. Planning on getting in a bit more with my lemon meringue pie and candy corn. Love candy corn...seriously thinking about buying ten 2.5 lb bags so I have an ample supply all year long.

    Oh yeah...workout at the gym was driven a lot thru this song. Really hits home with how I am feeling right now with the personal situation I am dealing with.



    But on the bright side...going to go see 5 Finger Death Punch on Wednesday. So really looking forward to that even though I will be missing dead lifting day.

    Awesome pull ups! I'm still working on getting back to be able to do one LOL. One day it'll come back.

    Glad you're feeling a little better.

    Thanks...and yeah, they'll probably come back when you least expect it.

    And feeling a little bit better today. Although ended up binging a bit yesterday due to feeling down...but I kind of needed it, so not worried about it...actually gave myself permission although would have preferred binge on better food rather than candy corn. Oh well, back on eating a little better today.

    Ended the workout early cause creepy old guy was there and really didn't want to have to deal with that. Did manage to get in some tanning...really needed some vitamin D.

    Back up to 120 lbs this morning after last nights emotional binge. Snacked on some candy at work, but kept things in check when I got home. Tomorrow should be easier since I'm working from home (well taking Rex to the vet). So planning on having the Tilapia / Peas dish again. Also had to pull out some ground beef from the freezer for Rex's pills. So thinking about making some mini meatloaves. So may have a few of those the next few days rather than the last Tilapia filet. Based on what I weigh right now, should be coming in a pound lighter in the morning. Actually wanted to a good reset in calories so that I have more energy for the next few days.

    Thanks for asking. As always, he is a royal pain in the butt. At least he has been sleeping thru the night, so don't have to deal with him waking up multiple times at night, but still a huge bundle of energy. If anything, he is getting a little more annoying...wants to eat all the time and if he feels he is outside for too long, he has started whining and if I ignore...he'll start howling. He used to do that occasionally if I left him out for a while...but now, he is doing it after a few minutes.

    Actually he has a vet visit later this morning. Have no idea what they are going to do...hoping it isn't the same as last time cause that was a very pricey appointment. But if they do, hoping for a break with the news. Seems like everything we are doing for him isn't having any impact with slowing this thing down.

    But he is happy and acting healthy.

    Tuesday


    Biceps

    Dumbbell Alternating Hammer Curls
    - 1 x 10 - 32.5 lbs
    - 2 x 10 - 40.0 lbs
    - 2 x 12 - 40.0 lbs
    These just feel heavy all the time...need to progress with less reps

    Dumbbell Concentration Curls - Slow reps (7 secs)
    - 2 x 07 - 30.0 lbs
    - 1 x 06 - 30.0 lbs
    - 1 x 07 - 30.0 lbs
    - 1 x 06 - 30.0 lbs

    28s Barbell Bicep Curl - Alternating Grip Width
    - 2 x 28 - 30.0 lbs (slow controlled)
    - 2 x 28 - 30.0 lbs (slow last 7 reps)
    - 2 x 28 - 30.0 lbs (whatever necessary to get these done)


    Abs

    Dragon Flags
    - 4 x 04
    - 1 x 02 (11 sec hold / 7 sec hold)
    Was a little concerned these might bother my back, but nope...they were good

    Barbell Decline Bench - Situps
    - 5 x 08 - 45.0 lbs
    Much harder after Dragon Flags


    Chin Ups
    - 5 x 05
    Was just playing around with these. Was doing them slow and pulling myself up way up so my hands were touching my shoulders.


    Notes:
    Workout was pretty good. No major issues other than Rex today. Took him to the vet...nothing really out of the ordinary for him regarding the tests but his temperament was off. To the point where it worried both me and the vet. He was his typical insane self went I left for the vet. But when I was about 10 minutes away from the vet, he went into the back seat and laid down. Not normal for him cause when he realizes we are close to our destination, he is jumping all over the place. Even at the vet, he was being very calm which is really out of the ordinary. Was pretty lethargic all day and drinking a lot. But he is eating and seems to have no issues with going to the bathroom or anything else. Just out of sorts. Sleeping as I type this. So hoping he is back to normal so I can let the vet know he is okay since she wanted a follow up call.

    I'd say dogs have their off days too once in a while with lethargy. See if it continues the next few days?
