I deload this week, perfect timing. Hope to catch up on some logs this week. (Visiting friends in VA and going to college homecoming — should be fun! Buddy will probably drag me to some hot yoga ****, lol. I could use it!)

10/15: Hex DL: 150x8, 190x5, 240x5, 280x5 (stopping bc of low back pain from yard work, lol) Hyperextensions: +20x15, 15, 15 Low Pulley Rows: 100x10, 115x10, 130x12 Stopping bc of pain; live to fight another day 10/16 Bench: 95x8, 135x8, 160x8, 185x10, 205x6 (rt shoulder still bothering me...

Good advice! I have one more trip (leave on Wednesday) and then things settle down such that I’ll have more time! I seem to be on the mend, using the polar ice cooler while I sleep, rotating shoulders. Took an epsom bath after this morning’s session, lol! Thanks brother!

Still babying my shoulders … 10/13: Parallel-grip Bench Press: 45x8, 95x8, 125x8, 155x8, 185x8, 205x5, 205x5 (these bothered my shoulders on the closer grip, but were perfect at wider grip) Misc. abs and Tricep work.

10/12: Quick one … Hex DL: 150x8, 220x5, 280x5, 330x5, 360x4 (those went up nicely, had 2 in the tank; projecting 415-420 1 rep max, a little less than last year, but I weigh 9 lbs less, and I’m even older, lol!) Seated DB Curls: 15, 25, 35, 40x8

Thanks boss, me too! A left shoulder repair after the right would be just dreadful!!! Not until my early 60s, dammit! :)

10/8: Bench press: 95x8, 135x8, 185x8, 225x4, 205x5, 185x4 (aborted — bad pain at left shoulder, the non-injured one, lol; praying I didn’t tear it!) DB Incline Press — aborted after one rep at just 35 lbs Tricep Extensions s/s Pushdowns: 35x15/15, 40x15/15, 50x12/12 10/10: Used the ice...

10/1: Just did a light back day a few days, so just a quick and dirty one today. Hex DL: 150x8, 190x5, 240x5, 280x5, 330x5, 390x1 (definitely good for 3+, but taking it easy on my sore shoulder) Lat Pulldowns: 100x10, 115x10, 130x10

9/28 Back Lat Pulldowns: 100x12, 115x10, 130x10 Low Rows: 100x10, 115x10, 130x10 Hyperextensions: x25, +20x15, +30x15 9/30 Bench: 95x8, 135x8, 175x6, 205x4, 230x4 (was a struggle!), 185x8 (shoulder is still bothering me a little, so laying low.) DB Incline Bench: 55x10, 55x10, 55x8 (went...

Thank brother — I have them set up already, but haven’t used them since my surgery. I think I might hang up my cleats as for dips. Emailed my ortho and he pretty firmly cautioned against doing them ever again. It’s not a huge deal — I feel I work my chest pretty well with just flat and db...

Thought this was hilarious!!! https://reddit.com/r/SuddenlyGay/s/yI2S5VPYhw

Appreciate you, broski! I can actually do regular dips again, just need to be careful, disciplined. I’ve run out of gym room and am actually selling my nice dip station. But I ordered some handles for my rack. The last ones I tried were too wide, but these have 2 sets of handles, so they might...

Haha, thanks my brother! Need to catch up on you and a few others still! Hope all is well, friend.

Progress Pic — back is broadening; need to start incorporating dips, which I’ve avoided bc they’re hard on my recovering shoulders.

This is the first time in a long, long while that I’ve trained a body part twice in a week. But it’s time to start stepping it up a little so this old man can keep pace with you youthful phuckers. Bench Press: 95x8, 135x8, 175x6, 205x4, 225x4 (probably had one more, but that’s it), 250x1...
