Shane’s Journal

Nice job on that session today Shane. Solid work. Glad you were able to get in some squat sets at my typical weight range even if they were weak. :joy: OK, better take what remains of my dignity and head on home for the day. :face_exhaling:

Ha ha ha :sweat_smile:

Thank you Trent.

LoL. It’s all relative when it comes to weights. I am not even squatting my body weight for reps right now.

True. But you’re a big guy so it takes more to lift your body weight. Plus you’ve taken some time off. It will come. :wink:

That’s it. Yesterday we celebrated my son’s birthday. Had some pizza and cake, hence the weight bump.

Going back to a PPL. Going to run it Push, legs, pull.

Edit to add. Started taking Creatine this week again. I won’t be surprised to see a little weight gain but it will be all intramuscular, so I am not going to worry about it.

Nice job Shane! That was a ton of upper body work. Sounds like you guys had a great time celebrating your son’s birthday. Sounds good on the new plan. Looking forward to seeing how it goes.

Thank you Trent. I had back to back weeks where my squats basically kicked my ass enough to not be able to do my fullbody workout on Friday. I figure I will get accustomed to squatting for awhile and then maybe go back to the Upper, Lower, Fullbody routine.

Nice job Shane. That’s a ton of ab work and nice time on the 5K row. Had to look back at my PR sheet and that is right about my best time on a 5K row. Solid work put in!

Monster leg session Shane! Just an absolute shit load of work. I’m sure you’ll be feeling that one. Lots of squat sets too. Hopefully no hip pain?

Not sure about GA but the weather is amazing here today. Hopefully it was the same there. :sunglasses:

Thank you Trent. I am feeling it today. Hip was a little bit sore but nothing too bad. Unfortunately our weather has been a lot of rain. It has helped knock down the pollen though.
