Week 1 Day 1 - Upper Body, Chest Focus
All sets performed with 3 reps in reserve.
Cable Y Raises (PNF D2 pattern) - 20# - Reps: 15, 11, 10
Flat BB Bench - 145# - 7, 6, 5, 6
Cable BTN Triceps - 70# - 18, 15, 11, 11
Cable EZ Curls - 60# - 13, 11, 10, 10
Narrow-Grip Lat Pulldowns - 120# - 10, 10
Incline DB Press - 40# - 10, 8, 8, 7
Lateral Raises - 10# - 15, 10, 10
Endurance is WAY down. Tris were trembling like crazy by the time I made it to incline DB presses, even at a light weight. But endurance comes back really quickly when you lose it to illness, so I'm really not worried about it. Did manage to get a good quality pump, and can already tell I'm going to be brutally sore in about 36 hours.

I've been very busy and away from my computer, but nonetheless kept up with training and paper logging.

All sets performed with 3 reps in reserve.
Lo-Hi Facepulls - 80# - 15, 14, 12

Triceps still absolutely fried, limiting my bench, but you can already see endurance improving, comparing this session's lateral raises with the ones on 1/31.
All sets performed with 3 reps in reserve.

02/05/23 - Week 1 Day 4 - Lower Body, Glute/Ham Focus
All sets performed with 3 reps in reserve.
Deadlift - 275# - 5, 5, 5
Leg Curls - 80# - 15, 12, 12
Leg Press - 200# - 24, 17
Calf Raise on Leg Press - 200# - 21, 19, 15, 18
Again, you can see endurance improving comparing my calf raises to the previous leg session.
I originally programmed more Good Mornings in this session as well, but my hammies were still quivering, so I decided not to. If, in say, week 3, I'm adapted to this volume and nice and fresh, I'll incorporate them again.
