5/11 still messing around in gym
Did OHP with new, great machine today that really mimicked barbell presses. 3 x 8 @ 95, 115, 125
single arm cable rows 2 x 8 @ 120, 140, 1 x 5 @ 150 (150 was really tiring)
usual machine presses 3 x 8 @ 90, 180, 200
Feels like an off week for sure now.
5/16 legs
usual kettlebell warmup
squats 1 x 8 @ 135, 1 x 20 @ 225, 1 x 6 @ 315 (225 felt light so I kept going)
hack squats 3 x 10 @ 225 , tried going deeper
leg press 1 x 100 @ 135
yee haaa!..nice work young man !
Agreed. Fantastic work. The week off must have helped.
Show off!
5/17 chest
bench 1 x 10 @ 135, 1 x 10 @ 205, 1 x 4 @ 225
bench press machine 3 x 8 @ 230, 250, 260 (I apparently have some fear factor barbell benching w/o spotter.)
machine rows each arm 3 x 8 @ 90, 135, 160
machine flyes 3 x 10 @ 120, 160, 175
Chicken Little, Jeez.
There is nothing wrong with protecting yourself. I always get spotter as the weight gets heavy. The problem is, finding someone who I trust.
Trust indeed.
5/8 back
kettlebell warmup
deadlifts 1 x 10 @ 135, 1 x 8 @ 225, 1 x 0.75 @ 325, 1 x 0.75 @ 315, 1 x 8 @ 295
cable rows 3 x 8 @ 120, 140, 160 (each arm)

I do better when I skip gym day before this workout day. Maybe next week a 325 deadlift.
I’m ever mindful of OG’s 410 deadlift.
good Lord, you need to aim higher than that !
OG, 405 for you is no big deal, but if I can get to 405 deadlifts I’ll be extremely happy.
So much for 14 years’ age difference.
5/19 shoulders
machine OHP 2 x 8 @ 80, 125, 1 x 4 @ 145 (this machine mimicks an OHP very well)
machine pullovers 3 x 8 @ 180, 270, 290
different machine press 3 x 8 @ 140, 160, 180
lateral raises 3 x 8 w/35s
3rd different machine press 3 x 8 @ 90
Army helicopter pilot in gym this morning. Full of energy. He deploys to Iraq next month. I thanked him for his service.
when you do I will be clapping loudly !
OG you edited that sentence dramatically.
A 405 deadlift would be sweet.
artistic license !!!
Artistic license, jeez.
5/22 legs
kettlebell warmup
leg press 1 x 100 @ 135 (first time in several months and it felt like it. Messed up squat routine)
squats 2 x 10 @ 135, 225, 1 x 4 @ 315 (was expecting to do 1 x 6 @ something higher)
hack squats 4 x 10 @ 225, 225, 225, 315. Went really deep.
Got to build up leg press endurance this week.
5/23 chest
dumbbell bench 4 x 8 @ 40, 60, 70, 80

cable crossovers 3 x 8 w/70s, 80s, 90s
Forgot leg presses today. Yesterday I noticed I was walking faster on way to courthouse, and not winded. Nevertheless, 405 deadlift on first day being 69 isn’t going to happen.
Happy Birthday Biker! Hope you hope a great day!
well Happy Birthday young man! Happen it will 405, patience young Jedi
Thanks OG, I’m starting to appreciate I’m above ground, unlike my @#$%^ brother in law.
