FLEX's Double T Log - Overtraining using GlutaCene

[-=FLEX=-]

[LisaSkinnoble]

Got to the gym a bit late this morning. All Lisa's fault (for being way too damn sexy).

Only got 3 exercises done, but I was happy with my work. Shoulder was irritated after a weekend of playing catch both days with my son. Cripes throwing a ball was really painfull.

But anyway, I was going to do incline dumbbell presses, but Lisa wanted to do barbell presses, so what the heck. I was very surprised that I got up to 185 for the first time since I started training again!

I said "Spot me I'm gonna go for 3 reps" ... and I got 5.

Then I did it again.

The flat dumbbell presses after that were tough. The first rep on each set hurt like hell.

Going to push hard this week. We're on vacation for the following two weeks and will be out of town at the beach for a good portion of that, so training will be spotty at best.

Great work this morning. You were super strong on the pulldowns, and the incline bb bench was fantastic. Really strong!

Nothing spectacular to report, today.

Going to go back to doing straight sets for a while, I think.

Did pause squats today; All reps on all sets balls to the floor, with a powerpause at the bottom of the rep.

Everything over 365 felt very heavy...

Holy crap those hurt.

Hit the showers then got back to my locker and realized I was so focused on remembering my knee wraps belt, chalk, journal etc. that I forgot to pack a shirt and pants for work.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Had to put my sweaty gym clothes back on then drop Lisa off at the train station, then drive all the way home and get dressed for work.

D'oh!

Thanks man.

Shoulder was not paying nice today. I managed a decent workout anyway.


Got a 6x6 with 135 on shoulder press, but I had to sneak up on it. Every set was rough, but my form was good. Ditched the cable raises and used dumbbells for the first time in forever. Tried some reverse pec deck and it hurt like hell so I did reverse cable flyes for rear delts again.

Smith machine shrugs were OK; was sweating like a pig after those...

Lots of work for a sore shoulder.

I really like watching you do those cable flyes.

PROGRESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Had a really good session today. Shoulder was sore as fawk, but I was still able to get a lot done, and made some meagre progress on teh bench press.

Also was stronger on the 2nd exercise.

It's coming around.

Added some more weight to the cable rows (1 plate away from entire stack) but it busted me down 2 reps/set.

Last week I increased the weight on the wide grip pulldowns and it busted me down from 10 reps to 6, and today I clawed my way back to 8.

Fuark. BEAST MODE.

Slept in this morning, and made some vids for both Lisa and I so all I had time for was deadlifts.

First deadlift day in 3 weeks, and it started rough, but I ended up with a new strapless PR.

No idea how I managed that. I guess that's why I'm -=FLEX=-
