When I was bringing my shoulder back, I did all dumbbell exercises and kept the weight equal left to right. Left shoulder was the damaged one. My right was not challenged at first, but I didn't want my right side to outgrow my left. It took a couple of years for the left to come up enough that...

Chest day again today. Slept for shit last night, dozed off and on between midnight and 5:30 when I finally gave up and went and made breakfast. Still had a pretty decent workout, though not my best. Bench 290 4; 4; 2; 3; 2 First 3 sets no spotter. Corralled my wife for the last few. 3 minutes...

I hear ya! My wife and went hiking for a couple hours the other day at a local park. It's not very challenging but os hilly. This would actually be an enjoyable cardio workout for me, except that for us to do it together I can't go fast enough to get my heart rate up! I'm sure there's a low to...

Looking forward to seeing your wife's journal here! I haven't trained in a few days. Played hockey Monday night late: 10:30pm ice time. Totally gassed after that. I actually slept 10-1/2 hours last night! Slept all the way til 9:30 this morning, which is rare. Still, at 12:20 and after 5 sets...

Chest day today. Gotta capitalize on my days off and plan carefully: I have a 10:30 hockey game Monday night. That's going to wipe out any workouts for Tuesday, for sure. Legs yesterday, so I should be adequately rscovered by then to skate. Not sure what I'm going to do about deadlifting...

I see both sides of this. That said, I have always done biceps - if done with another body part - on "pull" day. It just never made sense to me to do "push" with "pull". The exception is when I've done "arms" as a wprkout day. In that case, I've supersetted push with pull and felt like I really...

Thanks! You're right, strength is going up. More slowly now than when I first started this 5x5 routine, but I'm moving some pretty heavy weights at this point. Heavy for me, anyhow!

Yeah, man hockey is a fucking awesome sport! Been playing since I was 4... If it wasn't for misspent youth, maybe I coulda gone somewhere with it. But regardless, I love it! They say hockey is the fastest game played on your feet. I believe it! As for tough, I'm a Boston Bruins fan. During...

It feels like forever since I worked out last. I played hockey Sunday night. That's a workout in itself, especially since I haven't played since before Christmas. My whole body is sore after hockey for a couple of days. Add to that the fact that I'm so amped up after playing I rarely sleep much...

Mechanic, you should try to get in as a mechanic at a ppwer plant. NRG has one called Big Cajun in LA somewhere; a big one in Mexia, TX. I'm quite sure tjere are others. Everyplace needs power; there has to be one relatively close by. Most places, the maintenance crew is strictly days unless...

We are non union. There was talk of possibly unionizing over this schedule change as well as a few other things that changed when our company was bought by another, larger one. But that fizzled out pretty quick. Overall, we still have it pretty good. I shouldn't bitch. But I want to. I am...

It does wear me out. Sometimes, I adjust pretty fast to the turnarounds. Other times, I never seem to. I've been in that kind of a rut lately. I go on day shift tomorrow and I know I'm not going to sleep tonight. The payoff is: after this week of 4 day shifts - "hell week", we call it, because...

I decided to do a quick, light shoulder workout this morning. Well, it's afternoon, but it still feels like morning. I'm "stuck on nights", so I was up until 3:15 last night, slept in until 9:30 this morning. Started off with dumbbell lateral raises 10 x 20 12 x 20 15 x 20 15 x 15 Bent over...

Chest day today. I'm going to miss a keg workout this week because I'm playing hockey tomorrow night. First game for me of the new season, so it's been a couple of months since I played last. Hard skating after an intense leg workout just doesn't happen! Anyway, after last week's bench press...

46 ain't nuthin, brother. I'm 47... We're in our prime! :D

I have to retract what I just said about Trump should stay off Twitter. I just read an editorial in the lkcal newspaper that convinced me that he should keep it up. This was not the intent of the editorial. The jist of it is that Trump is bypassing the traditional media, and essentially that he...

I actually agree with you regarding Twitter. However, Trump is not "Far Right". As a matter of fact, the platform of bringing manufacturing and other skilled labor jobs back to the US, or keeping the few that remain here, is actually traditionally a darling issue of the left. This is a very...

Yeah, man, fuckin awesome...

Definitely. My back felt so wide, I felt like my shoulders were being pushed forward! My rear delts are still feeling the pump 2-1/2 hours later from the barbell rows.

Did back tonight at the work gym. Smith machine deadlifts 385 5x5 Chinups - no added weight, I don't have my weighted belt at work, but did them in my work clothes including heavy work boots. 5x5 Smith machine barbell rows 225 5x5 Lat pulldowns 180 x 8 180 x 7 Did all of that in just...
