Legs (ham/glute):
Glute bridges: 90kg 2 x 8, 110kg x 8
Hamtractor: 190 2 x 12, 1 x 18
Single leg, leg press: 180 3 x 8

My gym actually has two glute bridge machines and one of them is a Nautilus and sits outside of the leg room (also actually outside) and rarely is taken, so used that. Seriously love the diversity of equipment at this gym.
Lower back has been a bit iffy recently but felt solid through all of this, plan is for a peloton tonight, something easy and longish.

Played 9 holes this morning, shot low 40s, had a few terrible holes and put myself in position to make birdie on 5 or 6 holes but my short iron/wedge game was garbage. Only made one, putting wasn’t great either but better than the last few rounds

Adduction: 75 3 x 12
Hack squat: 315 2 x 8, 1 x 12

Best leg session in a bit, had some ramen and a few drinks last night and alllllll of that came sweating out but happy with it overall. Definitely feeling stronger and slowly a bit leaner

Took the dog on a 3ish mile walk to start the day, read a bit then decided to forego the gym in favor of a peloton.
45 min HIIT and Hills peloton @ 189 watts
Was keeping the effort moderate through 20ish minutes but stepped it up on the back half, not quite a PR for 45 min but close and set a 30 min PR. Good stuff on tired legs
Other good news is I’m through 80 books, less than 20 to go to get to 100 for the year

Sleep has been shit for a bit and i’m getting moody because of it but keeping on anyway
Chest/Bis
Incline flyes: 25 x 8, 30 3 x 8
Hammer curl: 25 x 10, 30 3 x 10
Dips: bw x 10, 2 x 15
Ez curl (lower half of motion): 50 2 x 10
Chest press: 180 x 12, 11
Preacher curl (upper half): 70 2 x 10
Solid pump, felt like the muscles got worked. Was surprised by my ability on dips, will have to keep them in the rotation while bench (which is screwing my low back) is out of it, need to see if the gym has a dip belt.
Probably won’t do much more today except another walk or two, to get to 10k steps, legs are pretty tired from the load last week.
On that note, I just signed up as a “free agent” at some random adult rec basketball league that starts next week. Haven’t touched a ball in years but figure I can bring some size and defense even if I forgot how to score (which is exceptionally likely).

Got in for a relatively early leg session
Glute bridge: 100kg x 8,8,12
Hamtractor: 150 x 15, 180 x 12, 210 x 10, 240 x 8
Single leg leg press: 160 2 x 12
Machine crunch: 125 2 x 15
BSS: 25 x 6, 35 x 8, 50 x 8
Chest is surprisingly sore from yesterday, seems like I picked a solid combo of movements or maybe they were just new, either way.
This was a super solid session, a lot of hard ish sets and a decent amount of volume and diversity. I’ve realized the TRT is improving my rate of recovery, so pushing a bit harder for a bit to see what happens. Still going to hurt tomorrow, haven’t done BSS in forever so that will cost something

60 min peloton @ 152 watts
Legs didn’t feel great but better than I thought they would, read for the first 40 minutes then pushed a bit for the last 20, still nothing too hard. Gotta get some protein in me so the legs recover

Decent enough back and tri session after taking yesterday effectively off. Got in a 20 min slow yoga which loosened up the left groin, butt and hip which was nice.
Single arm reverse pulldown: 90 x 8, 125 2 x 8, 90 x 12 (limited rest for last set)
Single arm ng row (machine): 90 x 12, 90 x 11 (rp + 6)
Straight arm pulldown: 35 3 x 10
Tri pushdown: 35 3 x 15
GHR back extension: 3 x 10
Tri overhead machine: 120 3 x 12
Plan is to hit a peloton tonight once the garage cools down a bit. Feel like i’m getting leaner and in shape at a decent clip right now

Shoulders!
Prime lateral raise (diff cam for each): 90 x 10, 120 x 12, 130 5 x 12
Rear delt fly (chest supported): 20 x 10, 25 3 x 12
Pullups: 1 x 8
Single arm standing OHP: 30 x 8, 50, 55, 60 x 8
DB shrug: 60, 70, 80 x 10
Facepulls: 50 3 x 12
Stairmaster: 15 min 650’
I liked the standing single arm OHP, felt good on the lower back, the compression from most other pressing movements does not feel great so i’ll keep those in and call it a bit of core work too. Lateral raises had my shoulders pumped to hell to start the session and they stayed that way until I got on the stairmaster. Solid shoulder session need to throw a trap exercise or two more in there, I don’t really like db shrugs just did them because they were easy, need to go back to Kelso.
Stairmaster felt better than it usually does. Started with 1 min each at levels 5,6,7,8,9 and did that 3 times with little increases at the higher levels and decreases at the lower levels. Think this was probably my best effort for 15 min or longer, cardio is definitely coming around finally. Legs are a bit tired from hitting 2 peloton sessions and a leg session in the last 3 days but nothing to write home about, need to keep pushing the envelope.

Quad extension: 130 3 x 12

Good enough, probably cardio and light chest tomorrow
