Wow! I figured that since I slept in a bit today, had a good meal and did not have to work tonight would be easy but…NO!!! I still managed to grind out 58,100.0 Lbs of volume though but it was anything but EASY! Hopefully the scale and measurements next week will show progress rather than Holiday slipage.
Good luck to us all!!!

Well, today had a really early start so by tonight I was already toast before I even started my workout but I still managed to grind out 53,460 Lbs of volume.
Now if I could just get that scale unstuck LOL! The good inches progress is great but come on, even 1 pound would sure be nice!

Well, I added 3 new exercises tonight to improve body system balance but overall volume dropped down to 46,880 due to jumping up plates to max out each at 8 reps.

Whew! Long day ending a long week led to a tough workout tonight!
-
Gym has a new trainer who followed me around my circuit setting the machines, counting reps and writing down my results for me. Nice but really wore me out since there was not any recovery time between exercises. 65,915 total volume tonight.
-
Scale is still stuck but showed 14 inch improvement overall this week, down 6.75 bad inches and up 7.25 good inches!
-
Bad Reductions + Good Increases = PROGRESS!

UGH!
Errands after work pushed the workout a couple hours late tonight, on top of being a weight / plate increase night. Still managed to grind out 53,808 LBs in volume during my 65 minutes of exertion.
BONZAI!!!
Actually looking forward to Friday’s weigh in…hoping the needle finally slides down at least a little LOL!

Had a really aggravating Monday at work so I decided to take it out on the machines tonight!
60,700 total volume…YeeHaaH!!!
Topped out my reps tonight so next time will be a weight plate increase…volume always drops off on plate increase day since reps drop back off…might have to figure out a way to minimize the drop off!
GRRRRRRRRRRR!!!

Okay, breaking in a new 24 stage routine today, working on a little higher weight per exercise, added a few more exercises. Only totaled 33K in volume but that will jump back up as I find the failure weights on the new routines.
Had vacation today so worked out mid-morning…kind of sore and a little stiff all day. Heading in the right direction though…I think!!! We will be trying again tomorrow night to get back to M-W-F even though it will not have been 48 hours I think it will be okay…we shall see LOL!
