841

ho hum bench day, mostly due to me celebrating too much last night

close grip bench 135/185/225 x 10, 275/315 x 5, shut it down there, felt same tweak in pec that I did 2 weeks ago, right now would be a horrible time to be injured

overheads with fat football bar 95/135 x 10, 155, 175, 175 x 5, 135 x 18 so since I am just bringing overheads in after a 5 year hiatus, figure I have lots of room to grow, lol

straight bar pressdowns 5 x 12

overhead extesnions 5 x 12

beat to hell from last few days, will ramp this back up soon. probably a lot of rep work for pressing in the near future

Thanks Scotto. Usually I try to be in and out of the gym in 1.5 hours. Sometimes two, especially if I am keeping my training to 4 days a week.

847

A lot going on personally right now, so backing off on training heavy. I just feel too damn injury prone, I need a few weeks of low stress training to balance out high stress life. Wife starting new job Monday, I will either be starting one job Thursday, or depending on how some interviews and conversations go this week will be onto something a little more lucrative. Kids back in daycare, first time for almost three year old.
