Crippler, I was not using 1100+ pounds. But since you mentioned it, I was wondering how you felt after that giant leg press last week.

Solid work as always Biker. Hope you are settling in well in your new home.
DBasler, wife’s still unpacking. Waiting for you to get back to normal.
Tuesday 7/26 chest
Warmup. Just plain forgot leg presses. Bench 2 x 8 @ 135, 185, 1 x 4 @ 225; machine chest press 3 x 10 @ 220, 240, 250; dumbbell bench 3 x 8 @ 50, 60, 80; pec deck 3 x 8 @ 100, 100, 110. Enough
your dumbbell work albeit, bench, incline or curls is all very solid in my opinion. ( translation: jealous)
OG, jealous of me? Ho Ho Ho. You’re the one entering powerlifting meets.
Thursday 7/28 shoulders
Skipped regular warmup & 100 rep leg press; pullups 1 x 8, 1 x 5 (better, but still adjusting to jumping up grabbing bar’s handles); OHP 1 x 8 @ 95; 2 x 6 @ 135, 155; shoulder press machine 2 x 10 @ 90, 180, 1 x 3 @ 200; front dumbbell raises 3 x 10 w/30s then machine lateral raises w/100 setting 3 x 10; cable presses 3 x 8 w/80,90,100; shrugs 3 x 10 @ 225, 315, 405, 475 wouldn’t budge today. Probably need to spend more time on OHPs and less on the accessory stuff, but the workout felt good.

Saturday 7/30
Back
warmup, leg presses w/90lbs 1 x 100; pullups 3 x 6; deadlifts w/trap bar (feel like I’m cheating here) 2 x 8 @ 135, 225, 1 x 6 @ 315, 1 x 4 @ 365; machine pullovers 3 x 10 @ 180,220, 240 (machine weight indicator must be off); SGHPs 1 x 8 @ 135, 1 x 6 @ 155, 1 x 4 @ 175, 1 x 2.5 @ 185; one arm low pulley rows 3 x 8 @ 160, 200, 240.
Starting to think my XL knit shirts aren’t fitting.
What’s with the XL shirts? You putting on too much muscle?
Crippler, you know there’s no such thing as too much muscle. I attribute my ‘condition’ to SGHP work since that’s only new exercise I’ve added in about 20 years.
It’s a burden but I can handle it. Luckily my suit coats are cut generously. .
Monday 8/1 legs
Warmup,100 leg presses w/ two 45s; squats 1 x 10 @ 135, 1 x 8 @ 225, 1 x 3 @ 315 ( heavy today), 1 x 6 @ 295; hack squats 3 x 10 @ 225, 315, 405; front squats 3 x 8 @ 95, 115, 135. I think I’m still leaning forward a bit.
Tuesday 8/2 chest, triceps
Warmup, l00 rep leg press w/90lbs; flat bench 1 x 10 @ 135, 1 x 8 @ 185, 1 x 5 @ 225; dumbbell bench 3 x 8 @ 55, 70, 85; machine chest press 3 x 8 @ 210, 240, 260; dips 2 x 8 (first time in months); overhead cable extensions 3 x 8 @ 120, 130, 130; tricep preacher bench machine 3 x 8 @ 90, 110, 125.

Thursday 8/4 shoulders
Warmed up with 2 x 6 pullups w/9 foot high bar; OHP 1 /10 @ 95, 2 x 8 @ 115, 135, 1 x 5 @ 160 (175 no go); machine shoulder press free weights, 1 x 6 @ 180, 1 x 5 @ 200, about five half reps @ 220; easier shoulder machine free weights 2 x 8 @ 180, 200, eight half reps @ 230; cable presses 2 x 8 @ 80, 100 ( the weight calibration is probably for each arm); shrugs 4 x 10 @ 135, 225, 315, 405; lateral raise machine 3 x 8 @ 75, 100, 100.
Still reasonably weak on OHPs so accessory stuff is necessary. Looked and felt like an animal afterwards.
You should look like an animal. That was a bunch work.
Saturday 8/6 back
Hate Saturday workouts but they space the workouts out better. Warmup, added face pulls w/hold for 25 secs or so, then pullups 2 x 6 (getting easier); standing bent over barbell upright rows 3 x 8 @ 135, 185, 205; pullover machine 3 x 10 @ 190, 210, 240; single arm low pulley rows 3 x 8 @ 140, 200, 240 (these replace the absent heavy dumbbells in gym); free weight back machine 2 x 8 @ 180, 270. Not great, not bad. Female powerlifter and high school football player prevented today’s deadlifts and SGHPs. I’ll throw in some pushups later today. Been doing those on off days this week.
Monday 8/8 legs
I should get points for showing up today.
Warmup, leg presses 1 x 100 @ 90; squats 3 x 10 @ 135, 225, 275; hack squats 3 x 10 @ 225, 315, 405. pushups 2 x 50.
Points given! Hope you are okay.
Tuesday 8/9 chest
Today I felt like working out.
Warmup, 1 x 100 leg press @ 140;
bench 2 x 10 @ 135, 185, 1 x 6 @ 225;
dumbbell bench 3 x 8 @ 50s, 60s, 75s;
dips 3 x 10;
bench press machine 2 x 10 @ 220, 240, 1 x 6 @ 270.
It’s the days you come in, even though you’re not feeling it that makes a difference.
