    Legs yesterday:

    Bike: 5 minutes
    Seated leg curls: 4 sets, 10-15 reps
    Vertical leg press: 4 sets 15-20 reps. Still staying a plate or so lighter (knee issues) and keeping the reps extremely slow
    Standing Sumo Dumbell squats: 3 sets 15 reps (heavy dumbell between legs) slow and deep
    Calf crap both on vertical press and seated.

    Solid day. No real residual knee pain for a change. Feels good today. Still waiting to get cleared for the new Zilretta (slow release cortisone) injections.

    Oh, and the good news is that my insurance plan administrator approved the new Zilretta Injections for me. So, waiting on the doc's office to arrange it! Look forward to trying this!

    I curious to hear the results as well. Regular cortisone works for me relatively fast, but the relief dissipates rapidly as well.

    An XR version of cortisone sounds interesting.

    2 days off, feeling recovered. Put on a little fat courtesy of pumpkin pie, but not too bad.

    Wishing you all well.

    Made it to the shop this morning about 3 a.m. this morning for a solid upper back session. Felt good!

    On the other hand, I got called in to work, so maybe I can squeak in another session tomorrow.

    Fvck.....6 hours sleep just isn't enough for me these days

    In a hurry, so I made 2 sandwiches out of 4 small whole wheat pancakes and 2 whole eggs and 2 egg whites.

    If I get this in my belly, I can get in squats before work. . Kel said Weds. is THE day to squat.

    Will post up later today or this evening.

    Eased back into squats this morning.


    Crunches- 120
    Seated leg extensions with knee sleeves on - 50 reps at a low to moderate weight
    Squats:
    1 set of 20 with a dry bar
    1 set of 20 with a plate/side
    1 set of 20 with 2 plates/side
    1 set of 20 with 2 plates and a quarter/side
    2 sets of 5 with 3 plates/side. It's been a while and legs were a little shaky so I'd rather ease into things than tear the hell out of something.

    You are correct!!! It's a tad after midnight and I'm feeling some discomfort.

    Legs were awful heavy when I walked into work.

    Barring something really serious, I'm off work until next year. Time for some much needed mental housekeeping and physical maintenance.

    Legs yesterday:

    Bike: 5 minutes
    Seated hams: 3-4 working 10-15 reps
    Vertical press: 3 working at 20 non-lock reps. Killer pump.
    T-bar squat thing: 3 working 12-15 reps. Liking these more and more.
    Dumbell static lunges: 2 sets 15 reps
    Calf crap: Standing and seated

    Good day. Knee's are feeling better. Assume it's due to staying lighter and simply controlling the weight more. Still waiting to get scheduled for the Zilretta injections though. Better bodies through science, right! Been putting on the Diclonefac gel immediately post workout as well. Can't hurt.

    Actually, your recent suggestion that I take some days off from work hit the 10x ring. Much appreciated!

    Standing side db raises 5 sets

    Bench at about 45° lying db side raises 3 sets a side

    Going to go ahead and wish all you people a Happy New Year one day ahead of time. I took the last 12-days off as I pulled the left lower back muscle a bit. 6-days of PT, Ibuprofen and muscle relaxant and I am pretty much back to normal. I generally take the start of Christmas until the first week of the new year off every year to make I do not forget to have a real break in there.

    In some personal news, my wife have two Universities back home trying to recruit her so maybe, just maybe, we can soon breathe a bit easier. Looking at SoCal or Upstate NY currently. There are a few things that could extend our stay here but I am pushing that as far out of my mind as I can right now.

    Both areas are expensive. I lived in both. I can hardly afford my diet in NY and hardly afford housing in SoCal.
    Upstate is cold as hell. I left Albany in Feb 1990 and it was -30. Fuck that shit. I never looked back.

    Bent over BB row 4 sets

    Hammer row 3 sets

    Straight arm pd 1 big set

    In some personal news, my wife have two Universities back home trying to recruit her so maybe, just maybe, we can soon breathe a bit easier. Looking at SoCal or Upstate NY currently. There are a few things that could extend our stay here but I am pushing that as far out of my mind as I can right now.
    Well if it’s the Los Angeles area there’s no shortage of Indian food & traffic. You should feel very comfortable, lolol!
