On the road again and looking good. Those hand stand push-ups are around the corner. Keep smashing it.
1/24/17 First day back in gym since August
Leg day
Squats 3 x 5 @ 135, 200, 225 (had to use the warmup weight as first set since 225 felt really heavy. Jeez)
Lying Leg press machine, 5 x 10 @ 225; then some nameless incline leg machine on which I formerly did 400+ for reps, this time 5 x 15 @ 135.
l0 minutes on stair master machine.
Feel great. Really great.

Yay on being back in the gym. Those 100 rep leg presses will be back in no time! You have played this game a long time. You know nothing happens overnight. I personally feel 225 is certainly not awful at this point.
Damn it man! Don’t be so hard on yourself.
The important thing is that you must be happy to kick your own ass and do it over and over again. Be strong young man.
Glad your back in the gym and feeling good.
Great job getting back in there. Here come the gains.
Still getting over unexpected lower back pain from Tuesday’s workout. Haven’t had that stuff in years.
The pain is probably the result of a lack of gym time in the past couple months.
1/30/17 legs
Squats 3 x 5 2 95, 135, 155 (back squats, not front ones)
hack squats 5 x 15 @ 225
incline machine (?) squats 5 x 15 @ 225
7 minutes on stairmaster
A restart workout since I hurt my lower back last week. Back’s fine now.
Good to see your back getting used to work again. Squatting is always fun. Nice work.
Great job getting back in the saddle. Just remember, slow and steady wins the race. Just like turtle or tortoise of whatever it was.
1/31 chest
Bench 3 x 5 @ 115, 135, 185
Tate press (experimenting) 3 x 10 @ 20, 30, 30\
Another dumbbell bench press where squeeze both together 3 x 10 @ 30
Flye machine 3 x 10 @ 80, 100, 130
stairmaster 8 minutes, sanuna 5 minutes (bad cold)
Still getting used to gym, still amazingly weak. Numbers should eventually increase.
I think you meant " Still at it and amazingly enough kicking ass and getting ready for more"
you da man !

^ well that should clear your lungs for sure …
Nice leg work. My daughter it dealing with the lung thing now too. It made tennis practice yesterday miserable.
2/14/17 chest
bench 3 x 5 @ 135, 155, 185 (185 actually seemed heavy. !@#$%)
dumbbell bench 5 x 10 w/50s
rows 5 x 15 @ 160 (a chest pad kind of machine w/free weights, no stress on back)
8 min on treadmill with separate treads.
Ok workout, just surprised how weak I am presently. That has to change.
