    Whoo, Friday night concert trip made Saturday an off day!

    But I hit back today, next to last workout of week 4.

    No dead lifts.

    Did 6 sets of pullups, various grips and weights, 4 to 8 reps each set.

    Took the time to dial in the land mine setup and got another 6 sets there.

    Calf raises with the high land mine setup, 3x25

    1 mile jog (11:15) pace outdoors.

    1 mile walk to warm up, about another half mile walk to cool down.

    Overhead press workout to wrap week 4!

    Got a 21st century personal best of 155x5. I know that ain't Jack compared to some of y'all, but I will take it and strut while I do!

    I tried 165 and it said NO, but then I dropped down and got the 155x5, so all good.

    Shrugs, all light, 20, 3x15

    Ezcurl bar curls, 2x10, 1x8, super setted with pushdowns, 3x15. The 8 rep set of curls I did slow and controlled and burned for it.

    Cable flyes, 2x15, reverse cable flyes, 2x15 and then dumbbell laterals, 2x10, all super setted.

    1 mile walk to warm up, 1 mile walk to cool down.

    All is good in Cy-town tonight!

    BTW, I dropped the masteron and gonna try to cruise until next blood work on something like 100 test and 50 primo. I might swap the primo for mast at that same dose, dunno yet. I damn sure like mast, so far the mental feel is better with it than primo. But the strength seems maybe a tad better with primo. Like, that 155, maybe I had another rep or two, if I hadn't had my eye on 165.

    Let's see, Friday I got in 12,000 steps and never left our property. I pressure washed the lanai and pool area thoroughly, then did house work. Then we hosted some friends and grilled some turkey burgers.

    In other words, I had Friday off from work work, and no exercise day, BUT I dang sure worked lol!

    Saturday, I donated a pint and took it kind of easy.

    Today, I did some lat pulldowns and am about to get outside and wash the 4Runner.

    Week 1 starts Tuesday!

    Overhead press day to wrap week 1.

    Barbell overhead press to start, 135x6 top work set. Went for 165, that was a walk out and walk back, 155 no go today too. The deadlift workout yesterday drained me, I guess.

    Dips, no weight, 3x8. Focused on leaning forward and keeping my elbows in and blasted the chest. That was good!

    Barbell shrugs, 1x15, 2x12.

    Tricpe pushdowns, focusing on that last inch or so of movement, 3x12. Ezcurl bar curls, focusing on feel, 3x12 as well.

    Cable flyes, 3x12 supered with 3x12 reverse cable flyes.

    The pump was good!

    Pushed squat day to Wednesday from Tuesday. Kind of needed the rest.

    So barbell squats to start a long lunch. A couple of work sets at 6 reps each, then dropped some weight and did 1x6 wide stance and 1x6 narrow stance.

    I'm not as strong at lunch as I am in the evening, probably because of eating schedule. Eh, first world problem

    Setup in the low landmine configuration and did 3x12 rows. Really focused on form and feel.

    Setup in the high landmine configuration and did 3x8 front facing hack squats, varied stances.

    Left the high setup in and did 3x20 calf raises off a block, zoinks!

    3x15 leg extensions super setted with 3x12 leg curls. Kept the weight light and focused on feel.

    1 mile jog outside, then about a quarter mile walk to cool down.

    Shower, food, and back to work!

    Bench day

    Dumbell bench, work sets 10, 8, 8, 6

    Incline barbell, 10, 5, 8

    Skull crushers and dumbbell curls, 3x12 to 15 each

    Dumbbell flyes, 3x12

    Something else don't remember what now.

    They are doing controlled burns in the state park about a mile from us. The smoke is thick in the mornings, and keeps me in a little, so I haven't been getting the steps in like normal. All good tho!

    Good shoulder workout today at the YMCA to wrap week 2.

    Barbell overhead press to start, 3 real work sets 5, 6, 6. I tried 155 but it was like nope, not today for whatever reason. So, my work sets were at 135.

    Barbell shrugs 135x15, 185x12, 225x2x10.

    Dip machine, 85, 125, 145, 185x2x8. It is actually called a "tricep press" machine, but it is a dip machine. Lean forward about 5 degrees and feel it in the pecs, almost none in the triceps.

    Cable flyes 5x10, 3 up high, 2 down low.

    Close grip bench, 3x10, super setted with skull crushers, 3x15.

    Ez curl bar curls, 3x10, super setted with dumbell curls, 2x10

    Lateral raises, 2x8, 1x15

    Reverse laterals on the machine 3x10, sort of super setted with flyes on the same machine, 2x10.

    No sauna today as I FORGOT MY F*CKING TOWEL!!

    All good tho!

    Back day at the YMCA.

    Deadlifts to start, supposedly just for warm-up but of course I went and did a 5 repper at 325. Way more than warm-up, I generally stay at 275 or even 225 for getting the body ready.

    Barbell rows, 8, 6, 6, 8.

    Hip thrusters 3x8

    Leg press, light weight 1x20, 2x15. The 15 reppers were with a narrow stance and the feet pushed forward... I really ft that in the outer quads.

    Pull-ups, 3x8

    Smith machine calf raises, 5x12-20.

    Sauna for 15 minutes, then rinse off, hop in the pool,rinse again, then done!

    Mediocre overhead press workout today. Been feeling kind of run down, though I DID kill back yesterday, so that probably had something to do with today.

    4 exercises : barbell overhead press, skull crushers, curls and laterals. 6 sets, 3, 3, 3.

    That was it for the weights, but I felt like I needed more, so I did 5 rounds of the tire hammer slam ball thing. 90 seconds each, 30 seconds rest between rounds.

    The usual 3/4 mile walk to warm up, same 3/4 to cool down, and life is good!

    Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there! We bought the wife a new car, 2024 Genesis G70. 3.3 liter V6, twin turbos, less than 5 second 0 to 60 time.

    When the @$%* did sedans get that dang fast??

    MUCH better squat workout to start week 4.

    Front squats, 3x6 work sets.

    Set up the low landmine and did 4 sets of rows, REALLY focusing in feeling them. 15, 12, 8, 8

    Setup the high landmine and did hack squats, 3 sets, 10, 8, 8. The two 8 rep sets were foot forward, narrow stance. I'm trying to get the same outer quad focus I had with the narrow stance leg press at the YMCA. It's not quite the same, but damn close. I think I can get it.

    Leg extensions and curls, the by now expected 3 sets each.

    Setup the high landmine thing AGAIN because I forgot calves earlier. 3x20

    About three quarters mile walk to warm up, roughly 1.5 to cool down.

    Life is good!

    As AG most eloquently stated, I’ll repeat. Nice! Congrats on the sweet car purchase for the wife. Yes indeed; 0-60 times are pretty amazing in cars you wouldn’t consider.

    Barbell rows, 3x8-10

    Pull-ups, 3x6

    Leg press, 3x15, then 2x15 calf raises on the leg press

    Found a seated calf machine and did 2x15 there

    Lat pulldowns, 3x10

    Low seated row, 3x8-10

    Pull-ups again 2x6 because I wasn't happy with the first round

    3x15 calf raises on the cable leg press

    3x10 hyper extensions

    No sauna here, dang it, but I got my minutes in, so all good!

    Sundays workout got postponed to tonight. We traveled yesterday.

    I did get in a mile and a half jog, fasted, this morning to start the day right. One half mile plus on either side of the walk for warm up and cool down.

    Overhead press workout on the agenda for this evening to wrap week 4.

    Got the overhead press workout in as scheduled. Volume is down a bit as I took the masteron out about two weeks ago.

    Man, that is good stuff.

    Anyhow, barbell overhead press, 3 work sets. Strength still good but not quite as good as with the mast.

    Dumbbell curls, 3x12, sandwiched between 4x15 pushdowns. Well, really, set 4 was cable French press, but all good.

    Dumbell laterals,3 sets, 1x12, 2x8.

    Nice delt pump. Looked rounded (for me, at least, not the frigging boulders some of you sport).

    With the jog this morning and walks throughout the day, sitting at 15k steps and almost 7 and a half miles.

    So today has been interesting, mid way through deload week.

    3 mile walk this morning.

    At lunch, I did a short bike ride, about 15 minutes and around 4 miles.

    Change of shorts and added a half mile run.

    Yeah, I'm starting to think "triathlon", but we will see

    Oh also, I can confirm that Tapatalk does in fact let you like posts. Too many obtrusive ads with the free product, though.

    Easy weight workout tonight, 16 total sets, four each of:
    Squats
    Pull-ups
    Dips
    Overhead press

    Then 5 90 second rounds of the tire hammer thing, I didn't use the 16 pound hammer and that made it "easier" for deload week.
