Notes: Changing my workout routines up a bit. Heavy deads and squats are off the menu for the time being, so I'm going to start chasing a pump instead, see if I can add some size that way. Also decided to switch my yoga up. Since I'm not doing heavy deads and squats I don't have to be focused as much on rehab for that in my yoga routines, so I'm going to just start practicing what I'm learning in my classes instead. My goal initially with yoga was to become a better lifter, but now that's changed. Now I just want to be a better yogi.

Hey Kenpo. Yup, I am abandoning my slacker PL ways. I'm back in physio at the moment and my therapist said, 'definitely no heavy squats or deadlifts', and she means, not ever. This is my third time in physio in the last year so I have to admit, I see the wisdom of that. And yes, I was bummed when I noticed the clearcuts. I've been up there before but never really looked around, it's like that in basically all directions. :(

- 275 x 3
- 315 x 3
- 365 x 3

Yoga
- hero pose -> plank -> down dog -> warrior 1 -> warrior 3 -> warrior 2 -> exalted -> side angle -> triangle pose -> wide leg forward fold -> child's pose x 2
- tree pose x 2

Notes: OK workout. Did child's pose between sets for everything after 275. My physio gave me some form tips (cues) for deadlifts and they were uncomfortable and weird in the office but when I tried it in the gym they actually worked out pretty well. The interesting thing about that is, her cues are coming from a safety perspective, not a performance perspective. But, safety here means preforming the movement correctly; so the body is in all the optimum relative positions to safely bear a load, not performing the movement incorrectly but with reduced load. I probably went a bit too heavy here; i had intended to stop at 365 and probably should have but as they say the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Working on my yoga flow; timing the movements with the breath and staying in each pose for 3-10 breaths.
 
Cues worked! 405 for 3! Nice job with lifting and keeping the back safe!

Notes: OK workout. Bit better than last week. The 1 RM calculator says my max bench is at 275, which I figure is probably about right, although I won't try anything that heavy for several weeks at least. I think if I can get my max back over 300 I will compete again.

Notes: OK workout. Was supposed to be a shoulder day but my shoulder was feeling spooky, so no shoulder work this week. I started to do squats instead but ran into knee pain so I switched to a high box. I decided to do multiple sets @315 and I was glad I did; my form wasn't as good as I thought. At first I was getting too tight. With a submaximal load that throws you off and you can strain yourself, which I almost did. By the third set though I got the proper degree of tightness tuned in pretty good.

Notes: OK workout. Shoulder is a bit spooky but no outright pain. Just the same, I'm thinking about switching back to dumbbells for a couple weeks if it doesn't unspook. On the bright side, the 1RM calculator still says my max is 275, but I think it might be a bit better, felt like I still had a rep or two in me when I was done.

Also, I modified my squat technique slightly, on advice from my physiotherapist. She stressed the importance of maintaining a neutral spine vs. squat depth, so all my squat reps were probably a little higher than comptetion standards, but, I'm not competing when I'm doing my workouts in the gym, I'm just trying to stay healthy.

Notes: OK workout. Haven't done OHP for a while. Was out hiking with my sister on the weekend, we went up Mt. Fairview at Lake Louise Ab. By some incomprehensible accident, I managed to forget my hiking boots at home. Inconceivable! But, it happened. So, rather than turn around, I elected to do the hike in my barefoot shoes, which was what I was wearing when I left the house. Here is a picture of me doing a tree pose on the summit. 60' drop off behind me, in case anyone is wondering.

Bench Press + HS High Row
- bench press
- lb x reps

- 250 x 10
- 270 x 10

Yoga
- various, can't remember everything I did, mostly hip stuff, runner's lunge, pigeon pose, etc, plus tree pose, 20 min.

Notes: Pretty good workout. I think 285 is a record for me on the bench for this year. When you're past 40 your strength goes down every year so I think it kind it makes sense to keep track of PRs for the year. My best ever bench press is just 305 and that was 3 years ago in a competition, so I'm still in the ballpark. After next Jan I'll be in a different age category, so I'll "level up" automatically. The provincial record for men past 50 in my weight category is 275 lb, so I would say that record is within reach.
