Then shoulder PT. How my knee feels over the next couple days will determine whether I can keep biking before the MRI.

Not to be redundant, but Merry Christmas! I hope you had a great day with your family and that maybe you got a nap in too!

Thank you, and I appreciate your redundancy! We ate dinner late, 5:00pm-ish, which made for a relaxed morning. At least for me, since I’ve no kiddos to wake up early with. A nap, however, did not happen - and back to the grrrriiinnnd tomorrow. I hope your Christmas was enjoyable, meaningful, and even, dare I say it, relaxing!

Any results yet?

The only results thus far are a 1.5-month lag between the doctor ordering the mri and it taking place. It’s absurd.

It is nuts. I remember at one point they were so busy I had an appointment at like 11pm - they were just having to run the machine round the clock.

Good grief! I had an MRI once at around 9pm, so I can relate. One of the machines is down here, which accounts for some of the lag. That said, I’m leaning towards starting the T-ransformation, even if i have to take an eight-week hiatus to recover and rehab from surgery.

    That shoulder press machine transfer most of the force to the delts while moving along a comfortable joint path. No wonder dudes are always hogging it; it’s a keeper. Pull-ups were harder than last fall, but I’m also fatter.

While waiting word of the scalpel and/or laser for my knee, my plan is to exercise four times per week, two upper body workouts and two biking sessions, while reducing the sheer volume of crap I shovel in late at night while watching TV. It’s a bare-bones strategy, which I’ll update as needed, along with my current weight.

Ski erg - 10:00, 1,904m

Low incline DB press

  • 35 x 20
  • 50, 60, 70 x 5
  • 85 x 4 x 6

Dips

  • bw x 10, 10, 9

Plate-loaded chest press

  • 55lbs/side x 3 x 10, SS w/

BPAs

  • hot pink x 3 x 20

Push-ups - bw x 30 total

I meant to do the OHP machine instead of the chest presses, but I loaded the wrong one :roll_eyes::joy: Tis ok, I’ll do a shoulder-centric pushing workout next time.

Along those lines, I might try a body part split instead of full upper body workouts. To lose weight, I need to increase exercising frequency - as well as not miss a lifting and biking session in a wee. This week will be better!
