Look at that variety I love it!
 
Alright today I did some legs. I'm going to start doing legs twice a week now since my joints are nice and lubricated with Flexible! Nothing feels uncomfortable and nothing hurts, so this is a major plus in my book. I don't know if I ever want to go off this stuff!

Squat
135x12
185x9
2x205x7
My goal is to get back to doing 225 with no problem. With all the discomfort in my knees and hips from hockey I haven't been able to put much weight on the bar.

Hack squat
135x12
2x185x10

Front squat
135x10
2x155x8

Leg ext
4x90x20
The rests were 20 sec

I'm still at 4 pills a day with a meal and feeling great!

Nice leg day! It sux when pain is the limiting factor,not the heavy weight. Sounds like Flexible will get you fixed up tho.

Man, not having any pain and discomfort is great. It has been since last summer when I was lifting this much weight but the pain/discomfort was really setting in and all I could really do on squat was 135. I did a lot of bench squats where I wouldn't go down all the way and then I could lift a little heavier.

That's exactly what I'm doing. My brother in law does a lot more weight but when he squats down his knees go in and it looks painful. I didn't know if this was normal or what but I try to keep my knees straight or out the whole rep

When he squatted down it looked painful, I had him watch me with less weight and better form but that did nothing.

Thanks man! I think I'm going up on the BB overhead press next week cause the last set still felt somewhat easy. The seated DB press I think I will try to go higher next week as well cause all 3 of those sets were fairly easy too.
 
Today was chest, not a single elbow joint pain. I did some dips at the end and the shoulders were a little tender but that's probably cause I lifted those yesterday.

Incline BB press
135x12
185x10
205x8

Flat DB press
80's x 12
2x100's x 8

Incline DB hammer grip press(I moved the incline of the bench up every set, got this from Reggie)
3x60's x 8
Thanks Reggie it was great! I decided to do it hammer style just cause I haven't done it in awhile

Flat BB bench
185x12
205x8
225x5
Arms and chest were smoked! But I still kept going!

Feet elevated depth push-ups
3x20 reps
Pump was badass!

Dips
3x8 reps

Slight incline DB fly
1x30's x 20

Flat BB bench burnout
135x10
Count to 10
135x8
Count to 8
135x5
Count to 5
135x3
Count to 3
135x1
Done!
Went right into one more set of the push-ups I did earlier and got 10 reps! Sick workout! Still at 4 caps and it's working good, no reason to go up.
