First semi solid day at the gym, just trying to get back into routine. Waking up at 5am sucks. Just did some chest work and leg work today. Pretty bad from what I am used too, but starting from scratch again. Just a quick 45min routine instead of a long drawn out work out, I have to wake up earlier than 5 am. Went from a 275lb set to struggling with 95lb set and a 720lb leg press to 270lb :-) Worst is I can't even sit up from the bench I have to roll my chubby self off :-):-)

Being back starts out tough, Greg...stick with the comeback and you know it will just get better and better. I'm banking on it. :-)

Good work fellas.

lol Greg ... i'm in the same boat :-)

Got in a decent chest session ytrdy. Really been focusing on bringing up my bench since it's easily the weakest of my compound lifts.
A couple buddies have been trying to talk me into doing a push/pull meet this summer or fall, since heavy squats are still really messing with my back.
I'm slightly encouraged about my squatting though as a really experienced PL buddy gave me some pointers and form adjustments recently and i've been able to air squat with these adjustments w/o any lingering pain. I know that doesn't sound like much but it's a big deal to me. :-)

Got some back and a little bis on the docket for today ... and some jogging.

Took today off, had a late game last night and felt like I'd flip flop my scheduled day off from tomorrow to today. Back at it manana.

Good to "see" you, Charlie!

U took today off cuz u spent all your energy jumping around during last nights Hawks game. Wrong team won but good series and good game.

Got in some heavy back work today. Felt rly good ... gassed now tho lol

Oh yeah and the wife is on week 2 of 5x5 :-)

Good work guys, glad to see you back Charlie.
[Reply]

I unfortunately didn't have much to jump about, Charlie, but it did take its toll regardless. :-)

Had half a Chipolte burrito bowl for 1st dinner, I'll have the rest later. Ask for the guacamole on the side and they give you a sh!t ton more.

So my Psychotic arrives today. Ordered the Veinz from the same eBay seller, wondering why that didn't come to. USPS shows it as delivered. Closer inspection shows the same DC number for both items. Contacted the seller via eBay, he got back to me within 15 minutes, and shipped out the Veinz.

I hear ya, Tom. Like I said, wrong team won :/

Got in some cardio with the wife after her 5x5.

I did a steady two weeks at 2750-3000cal with consistent lifting and cardio. So this week has been a reduction to 2500cal/day. I'll reassess my weight in another two weeks to see if I wanna cut some more cals or add in some more cardio or both. :-)
[Reply]

Psychotic? Vein? Sounds like crazy stuff?
[Reply]

I hear good things. May try the Psychotic tomorrow with some Vasky, since the Veinz probably won't arrive before the weekend. I'll report back, Charlie.

Shoulders and biceps yesterday with some cardio. Hills today. Tried do do some box jumps yesterday. I have a weird fear/bad luck with box jumps. Last time I did them in high school I missed the platform and slammed both shins into the cement. Last time I did them last year I missed again and slammed both shins into the platform. This time I tried my, ab muscles just kicked me and said WTF are you doing. Tried again and they slapped me again. This sucks, I think I would have rather slammed my shins again :-)

It's a weird feeling. I can do deads, squats and good morning although light, but try to trigger my core, something as simple as sitting up from the bench, and it's not happy. Don't all exercise's trigger the core somehow?
