    Today's workout:

    Paused high bar back squats: 137.5x8x3 (all felt good)
    Deadlifts: 375x2x5
    Leg curls: 90x6, 80x2x7 (slow negatives)

    All felt good. If my 140 squat session goes well on Sunday I may start going up 5 pounds per session as it's still going to be quite awhile before the weight is challenging at all. Didn't do bulgarians today as that is what injured my knee last time so I want to give it 1 more week before attempting them again.

    One-armed pulldowns: 110x9 110x6, 100x6
    Standing barbell overhead press: 100x9, 100x8, 100x6
    FT rows: 70x8, 70x7, 70x6

    Face pulls: 50x8/40x4/30x4

    I was a bit sore going into this but overall had a great session. Shoulders felt on fire after the pushups for whatever reason but not in a bad way.

    Today's workout:

    Paused high-bar back squats: 140x8x3 (form feels great but I'm still getting the clicking sensation on the lateral part of my knee)
    Leg extensions: 180x4(P,N)/135x3(N)/135x2, 180x4(P,N)/135x3(N)/135x1 (here P means I did a partial rep and N means I did a controlled negative)

    I don't know what to do about the squats, honestly. My form felt great but I'm not happy about this clicking sensation. I didn't have it prior to the knee injury and now it's present so that's a bit worrisome. There is no locking and my knee injury wasn't severe enough to make me think I tore my meniscus at all. I will probably just keep plugging away and maybe play around with my heel elevation a bit to see if it makes a difference.

    The leg extensions with the emphasis on the negatives were much more impactful than the last day I did them. Thus I stopped at 2 sets and want to gauge soreness before adding more volume.

    Today's workout:

    Paused high bar back squats: 145x8x3 (still very light, no clicking in my new for the first few sets but then it started to happen every rep, no pain though)
    Leg extensions: 180x6(N)/135x4(N)/135x3, 180x6(N)/135x4(N)/135x3, 180x6(N)/135x4(N)/134x2

    Squats felt fine if we disregard the clicking. My leg extension strength has exploded, I got these for full reps instead of partials.

    Deadlifts: 385x2x5

    Hamstrings were quite pumped after this. Good workout all around.

    Paused weighted hammer grip chins: BW+60x8, BW+60x7, BW+60x6

    Paused lat pulldowns: 170x7, 170x6, 170x6

    I was fatigued going into this so I rested more between sets and had a good workout overall. If I'm not fully recovered for my upper body workout on Tuesday I will cut back on volume (by going down to 2 sets of each exercise).

    Today's workout:

    Paused high bar back squats: 155x5x5 (left knee was still clicking some but these reps all felt very good)
    Leg extensions: 180x5(N)/135x3(N)/135x2, 180x5(N)/135x3(N)/135x2 (did all of the controlled negatives for 4 seconds)

    Quite happy with this. Hopefully I can keep going up in weight steadily without significant knee issues.

    Today's workout:

    FT bench press: 65x7, 65x6, 60x7
    One-armed pulldowns: 110x9, 110x6, 90x7
    Standing barbell overhead press: 100x10, 100x6, 95x6
    FT rows: 70x10, 70x5 (slow), 60x7 (slow)
    Push-ups: BW+25x11, BW+25x8, BWx13
    Inverted rows: BW+25x9, BW+25x7, BWx10

    With the FT rows I still have not been able to get the Inspire FT1 weight stack uprgrades as they have been out of stock everywhere I have looked for >6 months. It only goes up to 75 pounds per side. I'm going to start doing the rowing movement slowly to make it harder.

    I'm gonna start taking these upper body days down to 2 sets per exercise instead of 3 and start incorporating isolation exercises each day.

    Today's workout:

    Paused high bar back squats: 160x5x5
    Leg extensions: 180x6(N)/135x4(N)/135x3, 180x6(N)/135x3(N)/135x3

    I kind of felt my right patella tendon stretch a bit on the negative portion of the 1st rep of my last 3 squat sets but had no pain otherwise. Kind of weird. Otherwise these were fine.

    I had a general physical exam done for the first time since high school. Sole purpose was to please my fiance. The doctor checked a CMP and lipids. My values were all fine. For those curious:

    Albumin 4.7
    alk phos 77
    ALT 19
    AST 27
    BUN 17
    Calcium 9.8
    Chloride 100
    CO2 27.0
    Creatinine 1.0
    GFR 86
    Glucose 100 - I normally eat breakfast at ~5am or so but I got this drawn fasting at ~8:30am and I'm guessing that partly explains why this was at the higher end of the normal range
    Potassium 4.2
    Sodium 140
    Total protein 7.5
    Total bilirubin 0.9

    Total cholesterol 147
    HDL 62
    LDL 78
    non-HDL cholserol 85
    Cholestero/HDL ratio 2.4
    Triglyceride <36
    VLDL 6

    Good workout overall though I was fatigued going into it. Knees are bothering me slightly so I may not do squats tomorrow and try to reintegrate bulgarian split squats. We'll see.

    I've been really enjoying split squats lately.

    By adjusting the toe-point direction I seem to be able to target inner/outer portions of the quads quite well, and adjusting the stance width/depth I can modify engagement of the hams and glutes. It's a very under-rated exercise in my opinion and much less taxing than lunges.

    AdamWW, I agree, I think it's a great exercise and not as popular as I think it should be.

    Today's workout:

    Paused high bar back squats: 165x5x5
    Deadlifts: 395x5
    Leg curls: 90x6 (slow negatives) followed by 3 Nordic leg curls, then 90x5 (slow negatives) followed by 3 Nordic leg curls

    I did try a bulgarian split squat and my knee was not happy so will hold off on those for awhile.

    Came down with a mild cold but it has interrupted my sleep and screwed up my energy levels so I took a couple days off and did a quick workout today:

    Dips: 20, 7, 6, 9
    Hammer grip chins: 11, 5, 5, 7
    Decline push-ups: 6, 6, 5, 6
    Inverted rows: 6, 6, 5, 6

    I did the above in a circuit one right after the other with only a few seconds rest. I did rest an extra 1-2 minutes prior to the 4th circuit. Also I did actual pull-ups on the last set instead of hammer grip chins.

    In total took <15 minutes after I warmed up. I may keep playing with this style of training as it's quick and fun. Should also give a big boost to work capacity.

    Still having lingering cold symptoms but improving. May be back to normal in the next 1-2 days.

    Paused high bar back squats: 185x5x5
    Leg extension: 180x6(N)/135x5(N)/135x3, 185x7/135x6

    Happy with all of this.

    Today's workout:

    Paused dips: BW+90x3/BWx7, BW+90x3/BWx6
    Paused hammer grip chins: BW+90x3/BWx7, BW+90x3/BWx6
    Incline dumbbell bench press: 75x5/55x5
    Seated rows: 200x5/160x6

    That's it, just 3 drop sets. Felt good. Getting healthier. I want to see how fatigued this makes me; I think I'll start doing 4 drop sets in this fashion each workout and then isolations afterwards. Doing 3 sessions weekly will give me 12 compound movements weekly in drop set fashion. I stayed away from failure on the first set but with the drops I went to RIR 0-1.

    Still having some cold symptoms; eventually I'll get better.

    Anyways, today's workout:

    Paused high bar back squats (heels elevated 1cm or so): 195x5x5 (felt good)
    Leg extensions: 180x8/135x5, 180x5(N)/135x3(N)/135x2
    Cable adduction: 5x12, 10x6

    That's it. I managed to slightly strain my left hamstring somehow in the last couple of days and it didn't bother me at all with squats but I felt it when trying to do leg curls after the above so I called it there.

    Today's workout:

    Flat barbell bench press: 175x5/135x7, 175x5/155x4
    Lat pulldown: 180x5/140x4, 180x5/140x3
    Standing barbell shoulder press: 115x4/95x3, 115x4/95x4
    FT rows: 60x6/50x4, 60x6/50x4
    Leaning cable lateral raises: 20x1/15x3/10x4
    Low pulley curls (facing away from pulley): 40x2/30x3/20x5
    Rear delt cable flyes: 10x6/5x4
    Overhead pulley tricep extension: 40x6/30x4
    Face pulls: 50x6/30x6
    Wrist curls: 25x8/20x5
    Reverse wrist curls: 10x10/5x10
    Radial deviation: 10x10/5x12
    Ulnar deviation: 10x25
    Pronation: 10x11
    Supination: 5x11
    Hanging leg raises: 8
    Low cable side bends: 30x7 (I stand 1-2 feet from the low pulley so it pulls me down and at an angle, I like how this feels a lot more than just using a dumbbell)
    Standing cable twists: 20x6

    That's it for today. Whole workout took 80 minutes. Pleased with everything and I'm feeling better health wise (not perfect yet). I may start doing core exercises daily.

    Today's workout:

    Paused high bar back squats: 200x5x5 (felt good on my muscles, did feel the clicking in my left knee but no pain so I'll keep chugging along)
    Paused bulgarian split squats: 25s x10 (no pain with this thankfully, my lower back was cramping by the end of the set with my right leg as I did it just after my left)
    Cable adduction: 10x10
    Cable abduction 10x7

    That's it. Quite pleased with how the squats felt on the muscles.

    Seated rows: 200x6/160x5, 200x5/160x5
    Leaning cable lateral raises: 20x1/15x6/10x5
    Low pulley curls (facing away from pulley): 40x4/30x4/20x6
    Rear delt cable flyes: 10x7/5x4

    Good all around. I think I may drop down to just 1 set for the 2nd exercise of these upper body sessions as I'm doing drop sets for each and am pushing close to failure. We'll see how I feel for my next upper body session on Saturday.

    Today's workout:

    Paused high bar back squats: 210x5x5
    Abductors: 10x10
    Adductors: 10x15
    Paused bulgarian split squats: 45x6

    Squats are starting to get hard which feels good. I did have slight left knee pain for a couple reps but not the last set/reps so we'll see.

    Abductors: 10x16
    Adductors: 10x18
    Dorsiflexion: 15x8/10x8

    Good workout though my left knee felt a bit iffy on some squats. The last set felt fine though.

    Today's workout:

    Paused high bar back squats: 220x5x5
    Abductors: 15x6
    Adductors: 15x7
    Dorsiflexion: 15x9/10x8
    Paused bulgarian split squats: 65x6

    This all felt fine. I'm going to take squats down to twice weekly now as it's getting a bit heavier.

    Deadlifts: 365x2x5 - this felt easier than I though it would as it's been a couple weeks since I've done deadlifts
    Leg extensions: 180x6(N)/180x3/135x6(N)/135x3
    Leg curls: 90x6(N)/90x2/70x3(N)/70x2

    I played around with Romanian deadlifts and again came to the conclusion they are not for me, lol. I tried some heel elevated barbell hack squats but my left knee did not like that. I then completely forgot I was going to do core work.

    Nonetheless, quite happy with the above sets. My quads were really pumped after that leg extension set.

    I don't like Romanian DLs either. Something seems counterintuitive about the isolation emphasis on a variation of perhaps the most compounded movement you can do.
    Bench: 340
    Squat: 405
    Deadlift: 505
