    Mainly just to get the core warmed up and it strengthens as well. I have been hitting abs before any back or leg exercises. Kel suggested it a while back and it works really well for me. Also hit leg extensions before squats or leg day. Again, Kel gets the credit for the suggestion on that.
    I started adding in a light set of deads on squat day just because my hamstrings and lower back, etc. stay pretty tight.
    I imagine hanging leg raises would definitely hit the abs and obliques harder, but I have to draw the line somewhere.

    Ok, time for a shower and then headed into town. Hope my insurance agent's life insurance is paid up. I may rip him a new a-hole if I don't get some reasonable answers from him.

    Well, getting quotes on updated life insurance policies. Of course, blood work, access to medical records, etc. I swear if they break out the BMI chart, I'll go chimpanzee and start slinging feces everywhere.
    Labs for insurance company aren't until a couple of weeks post blast so it shouldn't be a problem. Relatively mild blast this time and I'll check Hct and Hgb prior to the insurance labs.

    Thx for reply. I’m thinking I need to keep it fresh,switch it up and do what works for me! No one right way....

    Really like leg extension to start legs.

    I don’t work obliques directly and I’m good with this!

    I was just peeling a giant sweet potato and was flabbergasted at the orange flesh, never seen it before. I was wondering if it was some sort of carrot.

    Morning, everyone. . Just had a nice bit of sleep and am getting ready to take care of a few odd & end things here in a bit.
    Working tonight/early Sunday a.m., but believe I will get some back lifts in tonight. Legs,lower back, etc. seem to be recovering from squats nicely. Lats are a little sore but I think it is just a result of pulling the bar into my back.

    Had the exact same thing happen as I've been rebuilding the left shoulder and arm, particularly since the grip weakened as well. However, it is coming back fairly well now?
    I was totally shocked and disappointed in myself at first, but it WILL come back, boss.

    Keep us in the loop on the BW.

    Back yesterday:

    Medium width D ring pulldowns: 3 sets 10-12 reps strict form
    Supported smith 35 degree rows: 3 heavy anywhere from 6-10 reps
    T-Bars: Good to go with these again, 3 heavy 8 ish reps
    Dumbell simulaneous rows over low incline bench: 3 sets, 15/12/10 ish reps. Drop fast on these.
    Shrugs: 3 heavy on smith 12-15 reps

    This has basically been my back workout for a while now. Only thing I rotate has been one workout I'll do T-Bars, next is low cable rows. Really liking this rotation. Back feels like it's making progress.

    Crunches - 150
    CG pulldown - 2 w/u, Work - 7+, drop, 4+, rest pause, 3+. 10 count hold on the partials.
    D ring bar pulldown - 1 w/u, Work - 5+, rest pause, 2+,rest pause, 3+. 10 count hold on partials.
    Tbar rows - 2 w/u, Work1- 9, drop, 6. Work2 ( the drop weight of first set) - 7.
    Low pulley rows - 1 w/u, Work1- 6+ reps. Drop a little weight. Work 2- 8+ reps. Drop a little weight. Work 3 - 10+ reps. Slow 10 count hold on all partials.

    54 minutes. A tad slow, but have a little something going on with left hamstring/biceps femoris. Think it is just a nerve complaining or maybe I need to IR nuke it, rumble roll, and stretch it? Anyway, held off on deads or hypers tonight in case it is more than I think.

    Opinions on breaking the fast between bedtime and wake up time?

    Force feeding may not be the correct term yet but a protein shake and oats during the night.

    Reckon its worth implementing?

    I generally do the shake w/no oats. I always wake up about every 3-4 hours anyway, so I keep a shake handy; especially if I'm planning on crashing for a long rest.

    Getting a small protein shake in during the night is a great thing. I set it on the night stand. Just about 4 oz water with 2 scoops of ON Whey. I do it all the time as I'm guaranteed to wake up to pee. That said, I would never purposely wake up just to do this. Sleeping through the night is more important.

    Legs - 40 minutes

    Hack squat
    2 working sets each with 1 forced rep

    Lwg press
    2 working sets forced reps

    Prone hamstring curl
    2 working sets drop set and halfs

    Single leg extention
    2 working sets forced negs

    Calf raise
    3 sets (fail)

    Couldn't walk. The only way i could move was by walking with my knee locked out and walking on the joint... my quads wouldnt support me.

    Felt strong as fuck tonight. Lungs and knees were painful. Spotty blindness at a few points and wanted to vomit at the end...

    Great workout except i should have done calves first... i couldnt stand with the weight on my shoulders without my quads buckling.

    Walking with a 25kg plate in each hand must have have been a sight....

    Goodness knows what that posing is but i can see my legs growing.


    Im back!
