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...

Bc you’re ghey AF! Lolol

Haha, that’s really awesome and invigorating, I’m sure. While I miss being heavier and moving more weight, I feel a helluva lot better now that I’m lighter at 175 lbs (vs 188 lbs last year). (I’m walking/hiking 25 miles per week, which makes it easy for me to eat a good amount while...

Damn dude, be still my beating heart — some monster gains here over the last year, including 300 lbs bench, most excellent! You put on some weight and most be looking stout!!! Keep up the great work my brother!

Dang TGR, you are looking awesome, my brother! Good on you! Look forward to more updates!

Dang Bennie, haven’t been reading logs since my return, and glad I picked this one as the first to start reading (still a lot to go)!!! I so regret hearing what you endured! My man, you’ve been through the wringer, for sure, but god damn, what a fucking constructive reaction. I’m heartened by...
