Speaking of legs, the gym manager reminded me of something my trainer used to do. Squatober. 31 days of some type of squatting. My old knees can’t handle that.
There was a guy on here several years ago that was squatting every day. I was surprised at how long he kept it up, can't remember the user name. But finally, it all came tumbling down with overtraining and injury.
So with that in mind, I took today off.

I was thinking of going in again today, but waking up this morning my body is telling me otherwise. I ain’t no spring chicken.

Back to the gym. Chest and shoulders today. Things were going well until overhead shoulder press. Felt something pop. Decided to call it good. Time for ice and ibuprofen.

Bob, I hope the shoulder is just tweaked.
I hit heavy back today. All I need is a shoulder replacement, a hip replacement and a new neck, and I'll be mediocre.

Leg day! Lots of weight was moved, no hernias popped.
Did some stretching for my shoulder which seemed to help. Still a bit sore, but going away.

Back and arm day. Loving those mag grip bars. Fry’s my forearm/grip. I’d say I’m about 70% of the way back to the weight I could do before.

Keep rockin' it, Bob.

I'm training upper body one day and legs the other the past week or so, I'll stick with it until I get burnt.

Decided to go in and work on chest, and a bit of shoulder. Needed to see how my right shoulder would feel. As I thought, not great. Decline and regular press was ok. Incline was were it really told me to back off. Dropped the weight and was able to get them done.
What was funny on the decline, I did an easy warmup set to check alignment. Took those plates off and threw on 45’s. Blast out another set and I’m like, “that was easy. I’m stronger than I thought”. Then I saw there was only one 45lb plate on the bar.

After my weight loss years ago, I learned I was no where near as strong as I thought. My bulk did most of the heavy lifting. I’d love to be lifting more, but I’ll take what I can get at this point.

I'll do that on an exercise, Bob. Put 185 on and be shocked how many reps I get....then look, and only one side has a 25lb plate.

Definitely ICM. At least 4 of us in there hitting the boobies.
:-)
Been doing some stretches during my warmup that are supposed to help my shoulders. Still too early to tell, but it’s definitely helped my posture, keeping my chest up and shoulders back.

ICM in my gym too, Bob. So I did back.
