@ninerbuff, you'll forgive me for being a Dodgers fan. My entire family has been for four generations, no matter where we call home. You can support whatever basketball, football, or hockey team you want, but you WILL be a Dodger fan, lol.
Side note: I've realized that when I push with a bar (bench press, OHP, etc) I'm stronger than when I push with DB's. BUT when I pull with DB's I'm stronger than when I pull with a bar. Even to the point that my BB bench press is a lot heavier than my BB row, but my DB row is a lot heavier than my DB press.0 -

Happy Monday! Full schedule and kbox tonight. It's my 4000 day on MFP. Man since 2011. Lol, at least I'm consistent.
Cardio: walk/run - 30 min (350 calories)
Strength: shoulders- machine shoulder press, side laterals, machine rear laterals, facepulls, front dumbell raises 4x12,10,8,6
Assessment: I had so much food yesterday, I can't even remember how much I ate. It was a good Father's day seeing my FIL and my dad and family. Back to the grind.0 -
@ninerbuff congratulations on day 4000!
And happy father's day!
Cardio: 15 mins fast marching
Strength: 60 mins yoga
Assessment: YouTube has added advertising to my fast marching video. Such a pain. But also a nudge towards the next level. I need to shop around for a new low impact knee friendly cardio video.
Food: another weekend of too many sweets. Let's see if I can stop before it becomes a habit.0 -

Monday
Cardio: Outdoor lawn maintenance (weeding, mowing) - One hour (300 calories)
Strength: Legs Day
Squat 4x20
BB Step-Ups 3x10
Leg Press 5x5
Seated Calf Raises 3x10
Analysis: Been meaning to do lawn work for a couple weeks now, finally ran out of excuses when I had the day off due to working Saturday. Only got the front done; still plenty of weeds to pull in the rock beds along the sides of the house. (The dogs have completely destroyed the back lawn, no need to mow a dirt plot.)
Food: Homemade pizza. Father's Day Sunday was firing up the grill for burgers, brats, and ice cream sundaes after. Lots of food, went to bed feeling stuffed, but must have fueled my workout because I increased the weight on all but one exercise. (Actually went DOWN in weight on the step-ups, as when I used to do them they'd follow deadlifts, where today they followed squats. Give me a few weeks doing this, I'll get the weight back up again.)
Tuesday
Strength: Pull Day
Cable pulldown 2x10
Cable chin-down 2x10
Machine high row 5x5
Machine low row 5x5
T-Bar row 3x10
DB Shrugs 3x10
Preacher Curl 3x10
Analysis: Only way I got this done within my desired 45-50 minute window was to cut down on the rest time between sets. Still got it done, which tells me that either I'm lifting too light, or was routinely taking too much rest.
Food: Lasagna with garlic bread and side salad (no dressing)
Life: Nice consistency, @ninerbuff. I've been here since September 2009, so going on 13 years, but due to annual camping trips to areas without internet/cell service, my consecutive-days streak keeps getting reset. I used to update it upon returning home each year, but it just got to be too much of a hassle, so haven't bothered in a few years. My next camping trip starts this coming weekend, so will be back to zero here soon enough.

Happy Humpday! Full schedule and some new clients. So hot yesterday and the same today. Great time to be training indoors.
Cardio: jog/walk- 30 minutes (300 calories)
Strength: biceps- barbell curls, dumbbell curls, high cable curls 4x 12,10,6.
Assessment: Steak and vegetables. I was well in control of calories and my workout was bomb yesterday.0 -
Cardio: Walking 2 miles (parking lot construction, had to park a mile away from office)
Strength: Push Day
Cable Forearm Twist In/Out 2x15
Bench Press 5x5,4,3,2,3
Incline DB Press 3x10
Decline Cable Fly 3x10
Standing OHP 3x5
Lying EZ-Bar Skull-crusher 3x10
Analysis: Was reminded today on the power of having an enthusiastic spotter. I always make sure to have a spotter on my last set on bench presses, especially the day I'm increasing the weight each set, but usually the spotter is very quiet, watches me get my desired reps, nods and leaves. Not today; the guy I asked for a spot must have been a cheerleader in a former life, as he was talking, cajoling, cheering the entire set. My goal was to get 2 or 3 reps; with him egging me on, I squeaked out four (though the final rep he did have to help me move through my sticking point halfway up before letting me finish).
Food: Lunch - Deli meat with soup, Dinner - baked chicken with buttered noodles
Life: Recent dinners haven't left any leftovers for work, so today had to scrounge in the fridge really quick before jetting to the gym.

Cardio: 15 mins fast marching
Strength: 60 mins yoga
Assessment: I did something to my ankle. It's not bad but it's going to keep me from increasing the fast marching cardio time.
I had a lazy day. Slept through my exercise time then squeezed it in this afternoon. I don't get sick very often but I do have tired days like this.
Food: same as every routine day. Eggs, oatmeal and later chicken. I was a little dehydrated this morning so I guess I should fix that.

Cardio: walk- 30 minutes (200 calories)
Strength: back- pulldowns, bent over barbell rows, seated cable rows, straight arm pulldowns. 4x12,10,8,6.
Assessment: Lamb for dinner. I wasn't that hungry last night and was into watching the ID network and "See no Evil" for a couple of episodes.

I lost half a pound last week which puts me back where I was two weeks ago. Eating food I bought for my cousin's visit set me back two weeks. So this week I really want to make some progress before the Fourth of July holiday. So I will be careful eating. No extras.
Missed my yoga this morning, but there are still many hours left in the day. I will get it done.

Happy TGIF! Full schedule. First clients at 7am this morning. I won't be done till 7:30pm tonight.
Cardio: jog/walk- 3 miles (350 calories)
Strength: triceps- pressdowns, lying tricep extensions, cable kickbacks, machine dips 4x12,10,8,6.
Assessment: Late posting today because I had to leave too early. At McDonald's last night because daughter wanted a Big Mac. But I was a pound down this morning.0 -
Strength: Full Body Friday
Deadlifts 5x5
Hack Squats 3x10
DB Bench Press <superset> DB Row 3x10
DB Shoulder Triset (Front Raise, Lateral Raise, Rear Lateral Raise) 3x10
DB Curl <superset> Lying DB Extend 3x10
Analysis: Good status, grumpy status. I was up late last night, so instead of waking at 5 to hit the gym and hit the road at 7, I instead slept in til 7 and just hit the road. But since my vacation starts tomorrow, my boss was cool with my taking off a couple hours early, so I was able to hit the gym after work instead. Didn't know how much the difference in time of day would impact my strength levels, but apparently not too much, as I churned through the entire workout. Would've been done sooner, except when I got there all four squat/deadlift racks were busy: one squat, one deadlift, one Oly lift...and one doing BB curls using just the bar for about a dozen sets. *Grump, grump.*
Food: Lunch - baked chicken with buttered egg noodles, Dinner - brown sugar/cayenne pork chops with mashed potatoes
Life: Tomorrow I do final shopping/packing so I can hit the road Sunday to go camping, returning the following Saturday. No internet, no cell phone service, no cars, no technology. Just tents, fire-roasted food, tons of hiking, fresh air. Man, I can't wait!
Life Part 2: I've only been doing the Full-Body Friday for 3 weeks now, and not sure how much of the change is just in my head, but I've noticed some significant improvement in my chest development in the mirror now that I'm hitting each body part twice per week, even if the second time is only 3 sets at a relatively lighter weight. May be simple swelling as the muscle adapts to being hit more frequently; may be in my head. Either way, I like it!
Life Part 3: Avs lost again. Still lead the series 3-2, everything will be decided while I am camping, will find out the results in a week I guess.

Cardio: walk- 30 minutes (150 calories)
Strength: chest- incline chest press, machine chest press, cable crossovers, machine dips. 4x12,10,8,6
