Cardio: Planned to do 1000m on the rower but didn't drag myself out of bed to have time for my full planned workout once again. Finding it hard to get to bed and subsequently get up on time with it not getting fully dark until after 10pm this time of year.
Strength: Workout B (Lower body emphasis)
Squats - 225 x 5 warmup set, 3 sets 325 x 3
Deadlift - 225 x 3 warmup set, 3 sets 325 x 1
Overhead Press - 3 sets, 120 x 8
Barbell Curls - 4 sets, 85 x 8
Assessment: Breakfast foods for dinner last night, ate at maintenance as I had to do a blood draw yesterday morning as we're in the process of changing around some life insurance stuff.

Cardio:n/a
Strength: Workout A
Bench Press - 3 sets, 180 x 8
Barbell Row - 4 sets, 145 x 8
Pull Up - 3 sets, +50 x 5
Barbell Curls - 4 sets, 65 x 12
Assessment: Went to the dentist yesterday afternoon and was ravenous when I got home so I had an apple w/ peanut butter and nutella around 3:30pm which pushed my calories higher than initially expected for the day. Still weighed less this morning, down to 172.6 lbs, which made me happy, down from a recent high of 179 on 5/20. Had to cut the whole workout short again this morning. Unfortunately, upping the rep weight to 180 after the heavy day Saturday at 235 has my left pec a little worse for wear where I strained and/or tore it last fall. Thinking it's due for a deload week or even taking a few days off from lifting entirely. I have a busy first half of next week so perhaps a hiatus after tomorrow's leg-focused workout until late next week would be beneficial. I'll actually make myself use the rowing machine if I'm not taking time to lift.0 -

Hope all had a good weekend. Back at it after taking it easy last week, did a lighter weight, full-body dumbbell workout Monday/Thursday/Saturday. Got some new mats for my workout area over the weekend, think they're going to work a lot better than the foam puzzle-piece mats I had been using. Actually got out of bed promptly this morning.

Pull Up 4 sets, +45 x 8

7/5 (planned for this afternoon)
7/3 - Workout B (Lower body emphasis)
Squats - 225 x 5 warmup set, 3 sets 320 x 3

Rear Delt Flys - 4 sets 40 x 8
Overhead Press - 4 sets, 115 x 8

Assessment: Intake has been too high this week, especially yesterday. No reason I can't have a solid day today and make up for yesterday's surplus some. Should be able to at least keep my weight flat this week, would like to cut down another 5-6 lbs, which should put me in a good spot to start a very lean bulk I can coast on for a while. However, that's proving a task easier said than done.0 -

I hope everyone had a good weekend. Went golfing with my Dad on Saturday so in lieu of my Friday workout I opted to set up my net to get some practice in.
Saturday 7/7: Golf (riding) and cutting the grass. Finally a day <85-90F, over 10,000 steps. Bacon, eggs, protein waffles for dinner.
Sunday 7/8: No intentional exercise, did laundry and some other oddball things around the house with my wife was at work. My parents took us out to dinner, had a great steak, crab cake, and split a slice of creme brulee cheesecake which was delectable.
Monday 7/9: Made some adjustments to the rep ranges in my program shifting back toward a PHUL-style philosophy; Monday, Tuesday, and Friday will be Hypertrophy days where Wednesday and Thursday will keep reps low and weight high for improving strength.
Strength: Hypertrophy A - Upper body focus
Lateral Raises 4 sets, 17.5s x 12
DB Chest Flys 4 sets, 17.5s x 12
Bench Press 4 sets, 180 x 8
Barbell Row 4 sets, 155 x 8
DB Incline Press 4 sets, 45s x 8
Pull Up 4 sets, +45 x 8
Reverse Sit ups 4 sets, x 15
EZ Bar Curls 4 sets, 65 x 12

Standard Tuesday for me. Going out to a Mexican place for dinner with friends tonight.
Cardio: I should really hit the rower when I get home from work before dinner but I know me and it's just not likely to happen.
Strength: Hypertrophy B - Lower Body focus
Squats 135 x 5 warmup set, 3 sets 255 x 6
Rear Delt Flys 4 sets 40s x 8
Deadlift 135 x 3 warmup set, 3 sets 255 x 3
Overhead Press 4 sets 120 x 8
Hanging Knee Raises 4 sets x 15
EZ Bar Curls 4 sets 80 x 8
Assessment: Under 2000 calories on the day, most on-plan day in a while. Average calories have been creeping up over the last few weeks, trying to get it back down. Going to be a little difficult as I've got events/dinner out planned every night through Saturday.0 -

Assessment: Strawberry poppyseed salad for dinner.0 -
Hump day already!
Strength: Power A - Upper focus - first go around with this tweak adjusting the rep ranges closer to the PHUL template. Needed to have gotten out of bed earlier but was out later than usual last night.
Lateral Raises 4 sets, 17.5 x 12
DB Chest Flys 4 sets, 17.5 x 12
Bench Press 135 x 5 warmup set, 3 sets, 230 x 3
Barbell Row 135 x 5 warmup set, 3 sets, 185 x 4, 3, 3
DB Incline Press 25s x 5 warmup, 2 sets, 52.5 x 3, 6
Pull Up +45 x 5 warmup, 2 sets, +90 x 2
Barbell Curls 80 x 5 warmup, 2 sets, 105 x 3, 6
Running short on time I cut out a set of the last three but tried to push the reps further. I need to adjust the weight on pull ups, +90 is a little much but was easy plate math. Thinking I might be able to bump curls up a little more since I was able to eek out more reps than I thought. Conversely, 230 on bench felt extra heavy and hitting three reps was a bit of a grind.
Assessment: Delicious Fajita Quesadilla from the local Mexican place last night, probably way more than the 675 calories for the generic log entry I found but the scale didn't spike as much as I thought it would this morning. Getting wined/dined for work today, being taken to a wings place for lunch by a vendor and ribs place for dinner by one of our contractors in town for all-day meetings tomorrow.1 -
