Wow, these are beautiful numbers.
I really need to get better at bench. Where did you start at? (The very first time you tried.)

Very impressive weights! You’ve probably stated in your journal some where but what is your height?
You are a great motivator![/quote]

Thank you Alisa.
If you look way back at the begining, which I had to go back and check myself, I started out doing 5x5x95 but I know for a fact before I started keeping this journal I started w/ an empty bar and then probably 65lbs and went from there.

He really is like that but he enjoys it so I pet him and let him. salutes Yes Sir!
As long as your careful with that shoulder.
Bench Press 1x10x65, 1x6x95, 1x5x115, 4x4x135, 2x2x145
T Bar Row 1x8x55, 1x8x70, 2x8x80, 1x6x90
HS Iso Row 1x8x100, 1x8x115, 2x8x125
Inclined DB Press 1x10x35, 2x8x40
HS High Row 1x8x55, 1x8x70, 2x8x80, 1x8x90
NG DB Press 2x8x40
Strangely enough my lower back, specificly my left erecter, felt very tight, esp. when doing the HS Iso Rows. It doesn’t hurt but it certainly felt like if I was carful to control my movements I was going to strain it. I managed all the same though if just a bit slower.
Maybe you need to add in some stretching?
Note I phrased that as a question so the bossy police wouldn’t haul me off.

Good thinking. I may have to send you a sternly worded note.

I have to admire your dedication in keeping people like me in their place.
Today was kinda meh. The wrokout would have been fine if not for other things.
SLDL 1x10x65, 1x8x95, 2x8x145, 1x8x165
BB Curls 1x8x50, 1x8x60, 2x5x70
Seated Leg Press 1x10x180, 1x8x270, 6x5x360
Then I went home…
So here is the thing, appearently I placed my insertion site for my insulin pump to close to the boney part of my pelvis, the part that sticks out on thin people. This would not have been a problem or even noticed by me if I wasn’t doing my lower body work out today. It started to hurt, then bleed…so yeah, I had to go home and change the site and all that stuff.
Not a horrible thing to happen, at least now I know that is not a good place for me and it was something I could go fix right away.
Good to know.
But yeah, that is why I didn’t finish my work out.

I had no idea something like that could happen. I’m still new to wearing this pump so I am still finding things out.

I never really thought about leg presses as I just figured they were a poor substiture for squats
I think just in general I am shorter and somewhat thicker so that pushing that kind of weight, although it is a work out, isn’t really so tough for me.
As for the curls… shurgs whatever it is it just seems that everything is really falling into place for my upper body lately. I have been able to add weight to everything, it has really become my favorite day.
Now if I could just get my DL to cooroperate…
