1am workout.
I'm at that place where everything just keeps on progressing but it feels like a lot of stuff is reversing and some stuff is getting weird in the adaptation of new ways, lol.
Back raise lockouts 3x5
Really sharing the load between each leg now
Shortstop Squats as barely a squat cos deeper is harder in the knee 3x10x2,5kg
Much more effective
Paused Squat
3x3xbar with that good positioning I ended with last time
4x3x30
Seated Calf Raises
2x8x15kg a side
11x15 a side
10kg more than last time and too light so the stretch only got a hold of my Achilles tendon on the last set.. so I added a few reps and with very long stretch each rep to get some more of that good stuff.

Leg is stiffening and a rib is prone to moving out of place now that stiff muscles aren't over compensating much to protect me, but the weaker muscles are definitely still stepping up, so everything is still progressing at a fast rate.
Sled Pulls 4 sets without even registering it cos I feel so many fewer things now
Deadlift
3x2x50
3-4x2x60
Then replaced high elbow machine rows with low hand reverse pec dec to hit the muscles protecting the rib 3x20x lowest weight
This really confirms my suspicion that I need to take a moment to do light reverse fly and rotator cuff work on off days to stay healthy.

Yesterday I had half an hour and my thight was bothering me in the knee but instead of it being a bad thing, I'm actually far enough on the timeline to just improve the technique a bit and work through it with it just being a tight muscle not a joint pain.
90 degree back raise lockouts on a terrible setup cos I was in a different gym 2x5
Shortstop Squats 3x10x8kg kb yep I'm progressing tons
Paused Squats
3x3xbar
6 or probably more sets of 3x30
Standing uni leg curls but with other knee on a support and leaning forward one set of 15 weightless just to test that fragile spot.
That angle was ****ing Unreal.. I think I'm ready to target the area better, and that training lower hams is what's up for knee stability and right to left leg balance more than back raises.
In a bit I'm doing light movements at home for shoulder cuffs and some ab work.Go to my log and share something brutal i might wanna try: https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=177638011&p=1589549301#post1589549301

Yesterday I saw a lateral lunge stretch, tried it and my adductor popped so that almost all the inner front knee tension disappeared. I figure it puts me in a leaned forward position, so I can do the row part of shortstop squats during this stretch that helps me a lot instead of continuing the quarter squat position on the shortstop squat exercise which still hurts just a little bit.
So I did that for deads today as the only warm up exercise, and I had cracking and pop sounds coming on the first couple sets both above and below that left hip.

3x3x50
7-8x2x60
Weightless sled pulls 30m

I did a LOT of movements to the side and above shoulder height yesterday... Tremendous effect.

Mobilizing my adductors and rotator cuffs have been the tits. Today went MUCH better than in a long time!
After warming up with that lateral stretch row exercise..
Paused Squat
3x3xbar
2x3x30
4x3x40kg
Lying uni Leg Curls 3x8x5kg
After I found my proper range of motion so the attachment part/tendon weren't over stretched, it was really good, and the last set was actually a bit hard ....
Shows how naive I was to go months trying to lift heavy while my hamstring was at great risk of swelling..
Seated Calf Raises with tons of pressure on the stretch
8x20kg per side
6x20/side
9x20 on one side
Pulldowns behind the neck and hold it and squeeze like on squats 3x10x30lbs
This exercise was really good. Didn't feel much during but EVERYTHING got tensed where it needed to and the rest loosened or stayed the same.Go to my log and share something brutal i might wanna try: https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=177638011&p=1589549301#post1589549301

I'M READY TO START BENCHING REGULARLY!!
Having slept 10+ hours and been mentally dead for the last two days after all that rotator cuff work, I knew I was tapping into something real and finally my body could be more relaxed, and today I know that it was definitely worth all that trouble.
Suitcase Carry 30m each side with rest between sides
3x12kg
Pinky grip Bent over Rows to sternum
3x20xbar
Much better elbow positions. Right elbow still wants to come in but super easy to correct.
Paused Bench Press with band pulling towards the rack
3x5xbar much better!
3x5x30kg some burn in the new elbow position
2x5xbar much harder on the lats although just 5kg per side to help the bar down before
Regular Paused Bench Press
2x10xbar
10x40
Much better now. Not only no pain, no I can actually tell where I'm more mobile and how to stay there!
Packed up and left because at this point there is NOTHING I can do, which will help more with progress than it will take away much needed and deserved recuperation.Go to my log and share something brutal i might wanna try: https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=177638011&p=1589549301#post1589549301

Yesterday I was at a low vibration, ate a bunch of cake, asked to stop work early, had fast heart beatings right after and fell asleep an hour early.
This morning I woke up 3 hours earlier, went for a morning walk, did a set of deadhangs for the first time in maybe two months and was VIBRATING. The workout was amazing!
Crosstrainer 5min and that adductor row comb exercise to warmup.
The morning walk revealed a weakness in my good quad and that got me going very well.
Deadlift
3x2x50
3x2x60
2x2x70
Weightless sled pulls 5 sets and had to stop myself from putting weight on and continuing. Feeling is more important than weight and its starting to feel pretty good.

Today was a great ****ing workout. I thought my knee was adapting to slightly different angle of loading now that the other leg is used more, but then my adductor in that leg stretched and squats ended up feeling pretty good.
Overhead Squats cos usual stuff felt unnecessary now
1xbar too much
Double and triple x small bar much better and awesome integration of upper back with legs. Really got my most damaged spot in mid spine.
Paused Squats
3x3xbar
6x3x30
Lying unilateral Leg Curls 3x8x5kg lol but feeling safer
Seated Calf Raises

Gonna turn those 40kg long pauses 1x8 into 3x15 short or sometimes medium pauses in order to ****ing jack up my squats.
BTN Pulldowns with squeeeeeeze like a bar on my back 3x10x30lbs
When I do it slightly wrong it hurts my arm. But almost all reps are good and afterwards it feels like I got a new arm in the socket.Go to my log and share something brutal i might wanna try: https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=177638011&p=1589549301#post1589549301

Revealing the tightness in the adductor was great cos now I've found that stretching my knee that last tiny bit makes it go from feeling fine to feeling ****.
Today I did bent rows alongside warmups as a way to slap the bitch into rebooting her system and doing better. My titties being the bitch until I'm better.
I can finally start training arms a bit again without it being bad for tight spots around chest and shoulders. Light weights hit some sore spots but I'll get back to the top soon.

Today I tried something new to support my gut feeling that I need more reps on deads and to work different angles more but in a safer and more cardio based way.
It went so well I actually added squats to the mix, as it turns out so long as I pull in the proper ROM with limited weights then my hamstring gets released and recover better, and as long as I severely limit the weight and number of reps on squats, it helps even out my adductors to support my knee.
Warm up
10min crosstrainer
3x6 back raises
3 trisets:
Low block pulls toes forward 8x40kg
Overhead external rotations 10xweightless
Inhale and brace abs against 10kg med ball on the floor 8reps
Workout consisted of two trisets but as I said earlier, it was only meant to be one.
Part 1
3 sets
Low block pull toes a bit out as normal 8x60kg
Bent over Y Raises 8x1,25kg
Med ball 12x15kg
Part 2
3 sets
SSB Paused Squat 1x30kg
SSB Breathing Shrugs 10x30kg
Med Ball 12x15kg
Using the same ab exercise for extra breath work and to help monitor the workload safely seem a great idea. Same reps all 6 sets to keep from progressing too much or from using other exercises to risk messed up psoas or ribs.
This made me better in every way I need to. So I will probably squat and pull twice a week now, with focus on internal feeling rather than weights and progression.Go to my log and share something brutal i might wanna try: https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=177638011&p=1589549301#post1589549301

Yesterday I went into coma from stretching my upper chest and really opening up that left side.
Seeing how well it went three days ago and how even just stretching my upper chest made my leg better, I went into the gym today planning to do the big three and really tie everything together, but I found that just doing abs after every set of squats and deads hit all the spots I'm lacking on bench but in a safe yet more than hard enough way.
Warmups was crosstrainer, pec and leg stretches, goodmornings with the bar and 1kg w raises imitating the bar on my back setup.
I'm also focusing much more on internal tension than trying to meet certain weights and reps, so that everything I do - however little of it - is optimal.
Paused Squats
3x2xbar
2-3x2x40kg
2x60
2x1x80
2x80
Rack Pulls at knee height
15xbar
2x15x60kg
All of the above was superset by:
Hanging knee raises 4 singles only, cos it burnt under my arm
5 decline situps for the rest
Really working that deep breathing and slowly reconditioning my psoas
Finished with 2 sets BTN Pulldowns emphasising squat brace and then skipped calves cos the first set was weightless and I was too sore. Two weeks ago I added lots of weight and performed well, then last week it used less weight and today it's clear I need to recover more.
Doing abs during it all with a focus on breathing rather than fatiguing works really well. When my ab exercises are beginning to tire me out, I am at or near the end of my barbell exercises. This way I know I will NEVER over extend myself.Go to my log and share something brutal i might wanna try: https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=177638011&p=1589549301#post1589549301

I'm fresh every morning, doing things fast when I notice it needs to be done and eating more greens now that I'm recovering properly and feeling a lot better.
I also have given in for granola cravings, so that bloat and the overall extra food volume has made me gain 1,5kg and my stomach is bigger.. but good feeling numbers are up.
Warmup was normal, crosstrainer, suitcase carry and this time with overhead rotations between.
Bench hold with hand pulling the bar towards the rack 3x1x15 count superset 10 y raises
Paused Bench superset 8x1,25kg bent side raises
3x10xbar
3x40kg
5x40
2x2x50
My abs are sore as ****... Lying down on the bench hurt and got some burn sometimes which drove me to flex harder and feel better although still net negative strength. I will adapt and shoot up past 3 plates in due time.
Bench grip Bent over Rows
2x10xbar
3-4x10x30kg
Reverse grip curls superset lying tricep extensions 3x15x4kg

I'm feeling a lot better now and finally found how to open my chest and loosen my tight lat spots now!!
Just need to better distribute my weekly barbell workload, and I think I've finally found the way.
An exercise from Brian Carroll helped a lot.. arms up, inhale, flex shoulders down into my lats and pull elbows down while as far back as possible into the lats and really have my shoulders find the right spot.... Fixed a stiffness issue I suspected had to do with inhale and oblique pretty quickly.
After warming up with bike, empty bar goodmornings and that lat exercise, I did trisets:
Following every set of squats and deads I did 5 decline situps and a long rep of that lat mobility exercise.
Paused Squats really sitting into my back tightness and sinking down
3x3xbar
2x2x40
1x60
1x80 nailed it!
No need to repeat same volume as last time when I really got it right this early.. safe the energy.
An extra set of 10 decline situps before moving onto deads instead, as a small way to get the little weak spots more without loading the whole body anymore.
Rack Pulls just below knees and toes forward
10xbar
2x8x60
Really hard on my lats at this point and they almost cramped after the last Mobility set. Taking the quads out of the pull makes it impossible to compensate and make the lift look even while hams are unbalanced and underused.. very direct loading and worth it's weight in gold for my rehab.
Seated calf raises 2x12x20kg tired but less than before
Barbell wrist curls
15xbar
2x12x25
I can tell little muscles in my arms are used more now than ever from indirect loading.Go to my log and share something brutal i might wanna try: https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=177638011&p=1589549301#post1589549301

I've sorted my shoulders so much I was pretty much ready to go right after 15min on the bike, and I'm now ready to slowly rebuild my strength.
Paused Bench Press with a rep of that lat mobility exercise right before every set
5xbar
3x10xbar
3x3x40
2x50
2 singles with 60
I found out I'm over flexing my lats for such puny weights and that causes irritation.
Bent over Rows
12x40
3x8x50
Superset 8x5kg side raises to help whichever little bitch muscle is whining under one plate.
Regular grip and pulling to low stomach is much better for me as it's easier and doesn't force my lats to give where it's hard to do under load. Feels a lot better.
Reverse grip curls and lying extensions 4-5x15x4kg dumbbells, superset.

Yesterday afternoon I alternated two exercises for 4 sets each.
6 incline push ups.
Very brief deadhang.
Then did a medium stance bodyweight squat while holding onto the bars and sitting way back with vertical shins for 20 easy and comfortable reps. Then when I got home a did a few wide stance the same way and was bad on my inner quad.... So now I know how to push up my squats!
Felt very good specially going slow. And that's specially what i did today for a 13 minute killer.
The Hatfield bodyweight squat going sloooow, pausing at the bottom and no pause at top 8reps
Inverted rows bit slow too, not forcing chest to bar and brief pause 8reps
L sit ish where I held myself on the dips bars and raised bent legs and held them up for like 10 seconds or less except the last set where I really forced it to prolong
3 rounds, took 13 minutes and not 1,5 hours later I'm still feeling it a bit. Going slow is crazy for my weak spots.
Later I'll do bit of leg curls and incline push ups.. just for health. I think I can do push ups every day now long as lot of times it's incline and far from chest to bar.Go to my log and share something brutal i might wanna try: https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=177638011&p=1589549301#post1589549301

The weirdest things have been going on since Fridays 13 minute session.
I became a lot more hungry, but only for healthy foods and at most a full extra meal satisfied my stomach in the deep empty pit that opened up.
At the same time I had no cravings and facing pastries in the store made me feel repulsed, with zero change in mindset. All from that type of triset and slow reps that hit exactly where they needed.
Today I found out my upper back weaknesses comes from serious weakness in my outer pecs, the right attachments specially. Ended up ditching bench completely for flys.
Tried going slow in the gym as well..not as slow but paid of tremendously.
Rack pulls followed by 5 decline situps
3x10xbar
2x5x40
3x5x60
Bench press followed by floor flys with 1,25kg plate in each hand for 10reps
2x5xbar
2-3 more sets of the flys.
A set of deadhangs, felt it too much in the pecs, then a super light and slow set of pulldowns, couldn't really target beyond the outer pec, then a set of curls and felt like what am I even doing my body don't want no more, I need to conserve energy now that I hit the fragile spots etc so I stopped and went home.Go to my log and share something brutal i might wanna try: https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=177638011&p=1589549301#post1589549301

Found some exercises that helped a TON.
10min bike
External rotations with elbow in knee and heel and ass on bench 3x10x1kg
Burned a lot two days ago, this time the burn got less in the end. Changes a lot in my shoulders and upper to mid back.
Topped of with a trap 3 raise 3x10x1kg
Going all the way up doesn't hit properly, and hitting the muscles properly makes it hard to go all the way up.
Seated goodmornings but with cable pulling me forward to stretch my hams
10x3 of the stack plates
10x6
3x10x10
Super hard and stretched me where I'm stiff while still hitting me where rack pulls are meant to.
Goodmornings with cables again but on the floor with legs spread apart
3x10x3
Really got me where I'm apparently much more stiff now after all the slow squats.
Floor flys 3x12x1kg
Alternating these pulls with the rack pulls and progressing a repout in bent rows in-between will take me all the way.Go to my log and share something brutal i might wanna try: https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=177638011&p=1589549301#post1589549301

Yesterday I learned a foot stretch that helps the calf relax which leads to my inner quad relaxing and alleviates my knee for a few squats following.
This is huge.
I also found my lats need a bunch of stretching as the top is tight after so long of muscle compensation.
Triset:
Hatfield bodyweight squat 3x8
Inverted Pulldown Rows 3x8
Dip L sit 3x10 count which much better counting
It's getting easier but still kicking my ass, as progress often comes with new things to adapt to.

Yesterday my lats were super tight but a bit of stretching made them better than they have been in ages. And my tight hamstring loosened and revealed a very weak spot. Things are moving fast now.
I also ate a lot more carbs and went all in on relaxation and recovery. As a result I woke up having lost the kg bodyweight I gained during the week.
Today's workout:
Just 5min bike cos that ham is tired after loading up the weak part.
Swinging arms and legs around....... Then pre fatigue work.
Pullovers 3x8x14kg
Maybe bit too heavy but worked like a charm.
The external rotation exercise with elbow on my knee 3x10x1kg
Much easier in spite of being super sore when raising my arm to grab stuff yesterday.
Bent over Rows superset 5 decline situps
3x15xbar
10x40
5x50
20x60 easy +15reps on the situps
Floor Flys 3x10x2kg
Diagonal shoulder raise with cables 2x8x1stack plate
Super hard on opposite cuff than the other exercise.
Reverse grip unilateral cable pushdowns
15x1plate
15x2plates no rest.
Yeah my cuffs are definitely holding me back from doing exercises that load up my arms be it bench, curls and extensions.... But at least the slow inverted rows nearly makes my biceps cramp later in the day.Go to my log and share something brutal i might wanna try: https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=177638011&p=1589549301#post1589549301

I'm super tired around my shoulders today after doing extra cuff work. Huge payoff.
Added some reps on squats and walked home with crumbling legs of jelly..
Triset:
Slow Hatfield bodyweight squat with close stance sitting far back like always but just don't care to write it out 3x10
Inverted rows to a lower point 3x8
Hit me all the ways I need most.
Dip L sits 3x bit faster 10 count this time due to cuff fatigue
I paid some stuff and now have the whole.month to go with no soda, half the meat and only 3-4 pieces of fruit a day.Go to my log and share something brutal i might wanna try: https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=177638011&p=1589549301#post1589549301

I'm finally ready to start lifting heavy!
Did the two external rotation exercises.like normal but to begin with. The side raise lookalike really helped my upper back setup this time.
Cable adductor Good morning like last time 3x10x3stackplates
Rack pulls below knees toes forward superset 5 decline situps
3x15xbar
5x60 way too easy as opposed to last couple times
3x90
3x110
2x140 where fingers gave out at lockout... I refuse mixed grip.
Then with straps 5x160!!
Last set of situps were 20reps.Go to my log and share something brutal i might wanna try: https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=177638011&p=1589549301#post1589549301

Today I'm feeling that 360 degree lumbar fatigue for the first time since forever that comes from heavy lifting.
Triset:
The Hatfield bodyweight squats 3x10
Inverted Pulldown Rows
8
6
7
Dip L sit 3x10count
Very steady count today!
It's weird. My bodyweight has been staying in lower range with no fluctuations for 13 days now, but I keep getting bloated and farting in spite of that. I think maybe having thighs against my stomach on squats after years of not being able to do that plus a temporary increase in cortisol from stepping up my workouts recently must be the reason behind it. With that and seeing maybe slight decrease towards the very bottom of my bodyweight range, I might actually be losing fat now.Go to my log and share something brutal i might wanna try: https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=177638011&p=1589549301#post1589549301

I did 10 burpees this morning and leg felt fine. Pecs though....
Bike 10min
Rotator exercises with side raise lookalike first 3x8 and 3x10
Bent Rows superset 5 decline situps
15xbar
12x40kg
10x60
10x80
8x100 and 20 of the situps which were very hard on the last rep for my hip flexors and that's a good sign that they can tolerate being pushed now.
Floor Flys 3x10x2kg
One of the good thing about lying on the floor is that if the setup is slightly off, it's bone on floor. You feel that as opposed to on a soft bench. Now I know for sure that when my shoulders are in a strong and healthy position, it feels like they're a bit forward. No wonder my pecs are sore, tight and fragile if they're over stretched a little bit most of the time of day.
Tomorrow is baptism of my new niece and I probably wont be able to do the small workout in the morning, because even if I'm leaving a 9am and wake up 7 every morning anyhow, I'm getting a girl over for the night and you know how that goes. Don't mind skipping few workouts a month anyway since I've a habit of destroying myself against better knowledge. Maybe I'll do it later in the day, just don't know how soon I'll be home.Go to my log and share something brutal i might wanna try: https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=177638011&p=1589549301#post1589549301
