Started off having a hard time getting under the bar. Kept the reps high and got through it ok. Got past the minor injury pretty good, not much of a set back.

Notes:
So back at it. The plan was to hit the entire upper body, but I just couldn't get myself off the bench. Slowly upping the volume and increasing the work capacity. Still a little impingement but I'm mostly through that now.

Notes:
Definitely feel stronger on the pressing, just the volume I can handle keeps climbing. I have to have an accessory day now though. I just can not work the whole upper body in one session. I like this split for the upper body. I'm going to continue the emphasis on the Squat for the lower body but at some point I need to work the deadlift back in.
This. Sucks bending over to pick up dumbells or something and your head just throbs.Quote:

2 mile walk afternoon.
2 mile walk evening.
Just burning some calories, enjoying the weather.
Thanks. I am enjoying the pressing. I have to say that pretty much I'm liking every single workout and every single movement. I also and I'm kind of surprised by it, that I'm liking shifting back and forth between moving up and just staying at a set weight progression and increasing the volume. I'm feeling more fit and the top weights are feeling lighter as I'm grabbing more volume.Quote:

Notes:
Going ok. Wife is off to Brazil for 5 days for work so I spent the morning throwing out all the junk in the house. So I'll do a little cut here, it's so much easier when there's no schit in the house.
I agree completely. My biggest struggle is with the snack foods in the cupboard.

2.5 mile walk
Nice man hold it down for the next 5 days. For me I find that if I'm not activities monitoring portion control I'll over eat pretty easily. Snack foods only speak of their sweets and I think that has to do with sugar addiction because I notice if I can hold string for a couple of weeks with out sweets I don't tend to crave them. Monster ultra zero (white can), as bad as it is, tends to help curb the desire for actual sugar.
I agree. For me it's Coke Zero that curbs the sugar cravings.Quote:

Notes:
It was really hot today and the rack was open so I thought I'd go a little heavier. Real happy to get 135. I think the higher rep work is paying off. Weight this morning was 184.4 which seems to be a resistance level, we'll see if we can push through. I thought about adding the deadlift but I think instead I'm going to stick with this programming splitting the body in three and trying to get in 4 workouts a week. I'm mostly doing 4 10s at work but every once in a while I can sneak out a little early and grab and extra session. If I add the deadlifts right now I think it's going to be too hard to get the programming right. As long as I can keep bringing up the Squat, my deadlift won't be far behind once I put it in.
