    Cardio: Pulling weeds 75 minutes

    Weights: Upper Power

    Bench Press 5x5
    Cable Row 5x5
    DB Press <superset> DB Row 5x5
    DB OHP <superset> DB Shrugs 3x8
    Cable Pushdown <superset> Preacher Curl 3x8

    Analysis: Finally made a life-long goal of hitting 5x5 bench at 225. Even pumped out 8 reps (with a spotter) for the final set. Roar! Hitting the gym at 10am on a holiday weekend wasn't my best move, though, as the place was PACKED and had to wait multiple times to get access to the benches I needed.

    Food: Dinner - chili (been percolating for hours, house smells delicious)

    Life: How was the Flash movie, @ninerbuff?

    I liked the Flash. There were moments that I thought it was off with Ezra Miller, but Michael Keaton saved the movie for me.

    Happy Thursday! Full schedule and kickboxing class.

    Cardio: Walk/jog- 260 calories

    Weights: Upper Hypertrophy

    Incline Bench Press 4x12
    Machine Fly 3x12
    BB Row 4x10
    Pulldown 3x10
    Machine Lateral Raise 4x12
    Machine Curl <superset> Machine Pushdown 3x10
    Perloff Press 3x15sec

    Analysis: The last couple workouts I've swapped out DB work for machine work on my isolations, specifically the fly's, curls and pushdowns. The fly's especially are FAR more intense when done with a machine, as DB fly's tend to lose tension on the pecs at the top of the movement, but the machine retains intensity through the entire range of motion. Been a while since I had DOMS in my chest, but that's exactly what's going on now, and I consider it a good thing.

    Food: Dinner - spicy peanut chicken with rice

    Cardio:

    Grocery shopping - 90 minutes
    Walking dog - 30 minutes

    Weights: Lower Hypertrophy

    Squats 4x15
    BB Step-Ups 3x12
    BB RDL 4x10
    Leg Extension 3x12
    Seated Leg Curl 3x12
    Calves Extend 4x12
    Suitcase Carry 3x40s

    Analysis: Thinking of swapping from my current 2x per week upper/lower to a different 4-day format: upper power, legs, push, pull. My legs develop just fine with once per week work, so splitting my upper hypertrophy day into push/pull days may let me do a few more exercises each week that I currently don't have the time to do.

    Food: Dinner - Hamburger Helper stroganoff

    Cardio: Pulling weeds for an hour+, filled two enormous trash bags. Some of the stalks were so thick they required grasping with a deadlift stance to pull out.

    I just realized, sometimes your posts have no signature line, sometimes they do. I was going to ask how you got the site to automatically include it, but now I'm thinking you just copy/paste when you think it useful.
