Well, this week has been so far so good.  Last week was kinda slow since it was the first week back in there.  We’ve gotten back into the swing of things listening to the old people crack their jokes about us being two slackers and crap like that first thing in the morning.  This week is well due to:
Chest and Bis - yesterday

Quads - tuesday

Hams - Wednesday (would have been tuesday but life is hectic.  Body parts are split for a reason)

Back - Thursday

Shoulders/Traps/Tris/Nice 300 mile drive - Friday

I’m taking my poundage increases very nice and slowly this time.  None of my crazy mammoth jumps in strength just because atrophy is slowly disappearing.  I’m going to insure that form is 110% and everything is done properly in an effort to stimulate maximum muscle growth.  Not that much was wrong with my form before but my squat sure did have some deficiencies.  Until I made sure I went no higher than 100 kilos last week just to make sure my form was perfect.

This is fun.

Alright, so yesterday went fine.  Two workouts same day.  Quads in the morning, Hams in the evening.  Well, I should say "posterior chain" but I’ll get to that in a minute.  At any rate, I was quite the crybaby starting off with squats first thing in the morning.  It was fun, but I’ve decided that since I’ve taken all of this time off, I’m going to perfect my form on most exercises which is what’s been done.

Second round, he he, hams.  Well, "posterior chain".  The workout should have included a number of leg curls such as lying and single leg curls.  Well, if we had a standing or seated leg curl machine at our gym, we may have tried those but lying leg curls just suck for the reason that although they do work the hams, they just work the hams.  Not only do you look stupid doing them but you’re really not doing anything for power generation.  We’re athletes damn it.    So those things were replaced with reverse hypers and single leg reverse hypers.  My gym may not have fancy schmancy leg curl machines, but we do have a reverse hyper machine.  There’s only been one other gym in the city I’ve seen with one of those (lol, the state actually) and that gym is closed thanks to NCAA title IX certification for women’s volleyball or something.  If you don’t know what this is, here’s a link.

So well, yeah, this exercise is great even though it is a glute exercise.  I love it more than leg curls.  He he he, so well, we did those and well, stiff leg deadlifts.  I feel great … we both feel great.  Its been a wonderful week.  Too bad we missed today because well, we both had the crazy idea to stay up late doing work trying to get some cash and such.  Oh well, bed time.  Later … Tomorrow, back day.  Saturday … shoulders.

Wow, I haven’t been this sore since … I think when I first started back after my surgery 5 years ago.  That was pretty fun then too.  I went this morning, did bis and abs.  Yeah, yeah, I was supposed to go back yesterday and today afternoon but alas, tomorrow is leg day.  If a certain someone doesn’t stay up all night working on a project.

Training however is looking up.  Now, to get my diet back on point which is a lot harder than it used to be because, I don’t work at home anymore.  I have to carry food with me which since I didn’t eat much at my last job, then I really have to … start the force feeding process.

Ok, so I officially got back in there today.  First thing this morning, be back tomorrow morning.  Back to P/RR/S type routine that I started my training partner on initially.  4 days a week, twice a day, and shift things around as schedule permits.
LMAO … and I’m weak as all hell now too.  I’m not even going to list any numbers.  I’ll take pics one day though so we can all see how I’ve amassed into a mass of smallness and weakness.  Oh well, I’m back though so …

More posts coming soon.
