Agreed

Any suggestions on a particular split or program?

When I first started I did P90X with the same equipment you have. It gave me a good base to start with but kept me pretty lean.

As for recommendations I don't really have any. If it were me I'd spend some time looking up different DB exercises and make a 4-6 week rotation on them.
 
Wife wanted to go with me so the extra time it took her to get ready limited my warmups. No super d Mob, and I felt it. I did stretch my tendons and did RC work in between sets.

Haha! I got started the same way with p90x back in 2009!

Did the program a few times and definitely got in better shape. Been doing my own routines since then but still using the same type of split they used in the program
 
Good session, and good that she wanted to go with you. I know it can be hard though, as you are pretty damn serious about your lifts..

Thanks. She doesn't like lifting unfortunately, so she doesn't effect my workout except if she wants to leave. She can only treadmill so long.
 
I think the dog officially has a bladder long enough to make it through the day and night. No pre accidents at night in a while (still proactively getting up to take him out) but none during the 8 hour leave workday in 2 straight days. My sleep may improve here soon
 
Got up and did some back and shoulders today. I'm not doing enough to make much progress but just enough to not look like I don't do anything. Goal is to take things back to normal next week.

Still no news on the promotion. Spot remains vacant but there is a new operations director starting Monday. They may be waiting for that before they fill the current vacancy. I'm still the front runner unless they promote from outside the division.
 
Hate to hear you stepped down from finaflex but I totally understand! Sometimes it is impossible to squeeze it all in! Glad to know you're still in the running for the promotion! Hope you hear soon!

I'll call this a PR

Bicep was a little tender after all Squats were done. Nothing super serious. I'm glad I benched before Squats instead of after. Now to keep the mobility going all week before the next Bench day.
 
Ran into my old administrator. He told me to be patient, that the spot was left vacant 1.5 months before he was promoted. He said lots of promising things, too.

No gym today. Put in a peg board this weekend after a long ago recommendation from Mark.

I was reading it like that at first too lol

Great work Reginol! Glad to see things getting better! Heavy lift offs is one of the hardest parts IMO, so again, great progress

What have you done differently to make this happen without the old pain?

That's all she wrote. Reps >1 over 200# hurt. Last week I did singles over 205 until the last set. For now on I'll just do singles. I have to find a way to still get volume in though.
 
Maybe emom singles like you do with deadlifts, or 4-6 rep cluster sets with 10-15 seconds between singles

I'm in Chicago and was headed to see my bro in Michigan. They decided to cancel the flight and reschedule the next for tomorrow night. That won't work, so my brother is coming to get me.
