Just finished…
A GREAT WORKOUT!
i’ve been able to only get in one strength workout for the past few weeks, and so far I’ve been doing great keeping up with my strength levels. I’m hoping that I can get back to two or three workouts per week here soon. But I just finished this….
BB Squat
145 X 15
225 X 10*
BB Bench
105 X 15
145 X 8!
BB Row
70 X 15
110 X 9
BB Modified Deadlift
95 X 15
125 X 10
BB Overhead Press
50 X 15
75 X 9^
* Record lift!!!! I’m pretty excited about my squats.
! I actually did less than I have before. Hit it harder next time.
^ Shoulders still underdeveloped. This is an increase, though!
Still using my philosophy of short and sweet. This, to me, is a great workout. Leaves me sore (varying degrees of soreness depending on how long between each workout), works the muscles, and just makes me feel great.
Took me about 45 minutes, which is about my limit of energy and ability. Anything longer than 45 bores me. This workout takes that much time because I only have one BB, so I can’t superset the exercises. And I do minor exercises for different muscles in between sets.
Now I’m going to fix something to eat, shower, and enjoy my evening. Maybe even watch the episode of Gladiators that I missed.

That is interesting the way you do your workouts (45 min.). When I don’t get a chance to get in the gym often I usually make the workout much longer (e.g., 2.5+ hrs.). It’s good your emphasizing the squat and deadlift, as they will pack on mass the fastest compared to other exercises. You are showing progress in your pics. Keep it up!
