Squat 5x85lb, 2x5x95lb/Chin up 3x5/Landmine row 3x8x35lb

I like the idea of it being done under 40 minutes but I sweat way too much for such a short work out.

Going to ride later on today.

Hop on the scale and some how I am still 146lb.

I sure look a bit fluffy. And I have been eating some nice home made stuff in extra large serving. Green and yellow ketchup and the sweet and hot zucchini relish are just so good I can just eat those by the spoon.

I am hungry all the time. Like I woke up in the middle of the night because of hunger.
My picture say that I don’t need more food. The scale as no opinion as it seem to be stuck at about the same place regardless of how I look

You clearly have a good base of muscle there. How tall are you? Also love Born Primitive’s shorts.

I am just under 5’8" most I ever weigh was about 160 in my early 20’s and that was also when I had visible abs. And the least was a few years back when life was too bussy at was at 130 not a good weight for me. I looked sick

Me, too (mich auch.) I always become very hungry for a month before winter, like my body’s preparing for a long, cold, lean time.

I am thinking of re organizing my workout, still on 5 days

Day 1
Heavy deadlift, row, pull up, bench, front squat, pull over

Day 2
Heavy Squat, C+J, ohp, dip, step up, abs

Day 3
Heavy bench, deadlift, incline bench, pull up, row, ohp

Day 4
Heavy row, squat, dip, rdl, wide row, step up

Day 5
Heavy ohp, c+j, dip, pull up, bench, abs

One heavy lift and lighter stuff in the 8-12 rep rang.
I may switch the light stuff a bit but keep the 1 heavy lift.

I want to keep the workout under 60 minutes and a fast “ish” pace using super/giant sets.
I seem to do well with frequent squat day at the moment.

That’s an excellent and surprisingly tiring pair of exercises to superset.

My knee still not a big fan of single leg movement. And that create rest time for the bench.
Call it gym time management.

What type of lunges were these? Walking lunges and forward, standing lunges bother my knees, but reverse lunges are a little less problematic.

Any, as I have destroyed my knee 3 years ago. (complicated fracture of the tibial plateau).

I’m sorry to hear that. My right tibia and fibula and four metatarsals were crushed by a 600-pound boulder some years ago, so I can relate to certain exercises simply not working.
