You posting in my log reminded me that your log is hidden in the over 35s (my log isn’t far off needing to go here too… It’s not going to but it should this year) - I check in only to find you in a similar situation, sorry for you losing your little buddy!

Thank you.

I also keep losing your log then coming back to find that there’s 25 posts here.

Sorry to hear about your little buddy.

And also to hear that I missed out on all the January circuit training “fun”

Thank you.

It’s never too late to join in.

I’m really late but happy birthday! Any leftover brownies? I could go for one right now.

Thank you! And about the brownies… uhm… sorrry we’re all out :pig2::rofl:

Wu= 6 mins on bicycle that don’t go nowhere

Trap bar
1x5/140
1x5/160
Working sets
1x5/190
1x5/200
1x4/215 it was supposed to 5 so…
1x1/215
Stupid warm up!

Front raises with broken red band and 5lb DBs
5x10

Chest supported front raises
Some sets x some reps started with 5s went to 10s back to 5s things were really making crunchy sounds in the right shoulder, left elbow ask WTF? Told them both to suck it up buttercup on carried on.

The 5s seems to light but the 10s seem to recruit traps more. May drop by DG and grab those 7lbs DB to split the difference.

Missed the medley yesterday. Was so sick by the time I got home I didn’t even make me a cup of coffee :scream: Better today. Will try to make up the medley today.

Chicky, I think your profile has been hacked. Somebody just posted a whole 6 mins of warm-up in your log. We all know that can’t be you… :wink:

:joy:

I’m goin to abstain from the calisthenics challenge this month so I can establish consistency with my program and build better endurance. In a month or two, I might do a six-days-per-week calisthenics challenge to increase overall volume.

How are you feeling so far?

Oh yeah, watch how the front raises affect your shoulders. That exercise nearly wrecked mine five years ago.

So far the only thing that’s screwed is my lower abs, they are fried, but the lazy bums need to wake up and pull their weight anyway :rofl:

Despite all the crunchy goodness going on yesterday, shoulders don’t seem phased by the front raises. Quite frankly I was kinda hoping there would be some doms, but no such luck.

Shoulders be like that.
I press at least three sessions a week and they don’t get sore.
If you think about it, you’re kinda always using them all the time, if you have hands.

If you want front delt DOMs, try incline press superset with incline front raises (a front raise done at the same incline as your presses).

So, I finally ordered one of these…

But while I was looking I came across this for under $20

What do y’all think? Should I get this one too? Do I need this in my collection? I mean, can a girl have too many attachments? Probably not.

You can never have enough lifting stuff. So I vote to buy it.
