    Didn't intend to take the week off from the gym, but it just happened. Lifted Monday, but was sick Tues/Wed, then Thanksgiving Thursday, and a 12-hr shift Friday. Hopefully a normal routine next week.

    Weights: Upper Power

    Bench Press 5x5
    Cable Row 5x5
    DB Press <superset> DB Row 5x5
    Seated BB OHP 5x5

    Analysis: Couple pleasant surprises at the gym today. At the DB rack, the jump from 100# to 110# always seemed daunting, but my gym just got 105# to bridge the gap. And the lady who was still lifting until literally days before giving birth is now back in the gym 3-months post delivery, saying that her commitment to lifting made the labor SOOO much easier than her first kid.

    Food: Last night was crock pot honey chicken

    NFL: Five wins in a row...winning record after week 12...only two games back from Chiefs for division lead, and Chiefs are looking very vulnerable right now...only half game out of a playoff spot. Broncos country is going absolutely INSANE right now!

    Happy Tuesday! Full schedule and kickboxing class this morning. Got in early today at work cause I slept early last night.

    Cardio: Walking/jog- 260 calories

    Strength: chest- incline chest press, machine flat bench, dips, machine flyes, cable crossovers. 4x12,10,8,6

    Weights: Lower Power

    Rack Pull 5x5
    BB Hip Thrust 5x5
    One-Leg Press 5x5 <superset> Leg Press Calf Extend 5x15
    Cable Crunch 3x10

    Analysis: Added two more warmup sets to my rack pull, made all the difference in the world. Not only did first couple sets NOT feel like a grind, but had to resist the impulse to add weight. Maybe next time...

    Food: Last night was spaghetti with side salad

    FF: Have a feeling if I ever finish a week with something other than a 2-2 record, that'll be a sign of the apocalypse.

    Team 1: L (8-4) (lost, but so did rival...magic number is 1 to get a first-round bye)
    Team 2: L (7-5) (gotta love losing with the #2 high score of the week...one of FIVE teams at 7-5 competing for TWO playoff spots)
    Team 3: W (5-7) (theoretically can still make playoffs)
    Team 4: W (6-6) (still one game back of playoffs)

    Church choir concert is this Friday, so was out late doing rehearsal last night. Ended up taking my nightly melatonin sleep aid about two hours later than normal, consequently slept right through my gym alarm this morning. Made it to work only a little late, but no workout for me. Feel better for having gotten sleep, think I need to get to bed earlier in the future. Spending 3+ hours each day just in commute means something has to give if I want to get my workouts in, and usually it's sleep.

    Finding it hard to stick to a program when I have some nagging injuries, my workout routine just depends on the day where I don’t feel pain or the pain is lower,can’t wait to go back full force when everything heals up I took a rest day since things were hurting today lol.

    Injuries are tough to deal with, but there are always ways around them. Hit me up with what they are and I can suggest alternative exercises.

    Weights: Upper Power

    Bench Press 5x5
    Cable Row 5x5
    DB Press <superset> DB Row 5x5
    Seated BB OHP 5x5

    Analysis: Banged out my bench press readily enough to make me think about increasing the weight again, but want to give it at least one more week to make sure not only was this not a fluky good workout, but also give my ligaments an extra week to adapt before going heavier.

    Food: Last night was meatloaf.

    NFL: Broncos lost a close one, had the ball first and goal at the 7 with 23 seconds left, down by 5, couldn't punch it in this time. Missed a golden opportunity to pull within one game of the Chiefs after they lost Sunday night. Still have the Raiders, Patriots and two shots against the Chargers to get to 9 wins on the season for the first winning record in 6 years, we can still do it! Playoffs may be a bit of a reach, as it'll likely take 10+ wins, which means we need to either beat the Chargers twice or beat the Lions.

    Fantasy: Have a chance to go 3-1 this week, will depend on MNF. Would've been an assured win, but when one of your receivers gets hurt early in the game without making a single catch first, makes things a LOT harder.

    BB Hip Thrust 5x5
    One-Leg Press 5x5 <superset> Leg Press Calf Extend 5x15
    Cable Crunch 3x15, 12, 10

    Analysis: Seeing a definite difference in strength between legs on the one-leg press, with my left leg ready to increase the weight but my right struggling to get proper range of motion on the current weight.

    FF: Almost broke the mold to go 3-1, but alas losing Tank Dell without a single point doomed me to a close loss.

    Team 1: W (9-4) (first-round bye clinched)
    Team 2: W (8-5) (one of FIVE teams at 8-5 competing for TWO playoff spots...gonna be some disappointed people after next week)
    Team 3: L (5-8) (looking forward to next year, where I could be picking as early as #2 in the rookie draft)
    Team 4: L (6-7) (with the narrow loss, I'm now eliminated from the playoffs...started year 5-1, finished 1-6)

    Your new avatar was driving me crazy, @ninerbuff, trying to figure out if you were on fire or whatnot, until I pulled up your user profile and saw it wasn't a picture of you at all, just a stylized "S" lol.
