    Weights: Lower Hypertrophy

    Squats 4x15
    BB Step-Ups 3x12
    BB RDL 3x10
    Leg Extension 3x12
    Lying Leg Curl 3x12
    Calves Extend 3x12

    Analysis: My knee was grumpy from my very first squat warmup set, managed to work through it for the squats, but the moment I tried doing the step-ups my knee went into full rebellion mode. But only extending my knee was an issue; I could still curl, and RDL's didn't seem to bother my leg, so I got through the rest of my workout from there. (Instead of doing heavy leg extensions I cut the weight in half and did 3-second negatives, which my knee allowed but remained grumpy until I hit the hot tub after the workout).

    Food: Dinner - last night was bulgogi

    Hey gang,

    Happy weekend! Full schedule today. 2 big games today. Seahawks at 9ers and Eagles at Dallas. Hoping for a 9ers and Cowboys (gag) win to put us at 1 seed. Also last chance to make the playoffs this weekend. Of the 3 teams tied with the same record, if the 2 before me lose, and I win, I'm in the final spot.

    Cardio Walking/jog- 30min (260 calories)

    Strength: Hamstrings- lying leg curls, seated leg curls, stiff legged deadlifts 4x12,10,8,6.

    Assessment: Panera for dinner.

    Knee: My knee feels almost completely back to normal, was just a 48-hr grumpy thing apparently. Will see in a couple days on Tuesday how well it handles lifting again.

    FF: Right now I'm projected to win all 4 games (go figure). If that happens, I will punch my playoff ticket in my second league and play spoiler in one of my losing leagues.

    Food: Last night my daughter-in-law cooked "chicken sliders" which was basically pulled-chicken sandwiches.

    Hey gang

    Happy Tuesday! Full schedule and kickboxing class this morning. Well Mostert scored 2 Tds last night knocking out of the playoffs. After starting 0-4 I finished 7-7 but had way less points than the guy with the same record putting me at 7th out of 12 teams. 3rd year in a row I just missed the playoffs again.

    Cardio: Walking/jog- 260 calories

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

    Team 4: L (6-8) (started year 5-1, finished 1-7)

    One-Leg Press 5x5 <superset> Leg Press Calf Extend 5x15

    Weights: Upper Hypertrophy

    Incline Bench Press 3x10
    Machine Fly 3x10
    BB Row 3x10
    Pulldown 3x10 (1 set each hands over, under, neutral-grip)
    Face Pull 3x10

    DB Curl, Hammer Curl, Concentration Curl <superset> DB Tricep Skull-Crusher 3x10
    Perloff Press 3x15sec <superset> Cable Crunch 3x10

    Analysis: My son came with me to the gym, so modified my workout slightly to accommodate the equipment he has at his home gym to show him what he can continue to do without me. Felt weird acting as personal trainer, demonstrating technique, talking about exercise/weight selection, do's and don'ts and everything else. Overall the workout took longer than normal, but we had a great time.

    Food: Last night was jambalaya

    Weights: Upper Power

    Bench Press 5x5
    Cable Row 5x5
    Machine Decline Press 5x5
    Machine High Row 5x5
    Seated Smith OHP 3x5

    Analysis: Those online calculators which predict your expected 1RM based on reps at a lower weight are liars. Per last week's workout, I should be easily clearing 295 bench, but on my last set today I barely managed one rep at 275. Even taking into account it was the last working set of a heavy day, I don't see me increasing by 20+ pounds simply by doing it a tad earlier.

    Food: Last night was Thanksgiving redux. (My Army son was quite disappointed with the meal offered by the military chow hall on Thanksgiving, so he asked if we could do a full spread while he's here.)

    Fantasy Football: Two of my four teams made the playoffs, one earning a first-round bye. For my second team, before the week began I was heavily favored, but then my 3 RB's scored a combined 10 points total, and my QB Josh Allen only threw the ball 15 times in a blowout. Consequently I'm entering MNF trailing by 5 points. I have AJ Brown, he has Jalen Hurts. If Hurts' illness keeps him out, I have a good shot to win; if he plays, I'm probably hosed.

    Fantasy Football: Not only did Jalen Hurts play, but he chose to run a pair of TD's rather than throw to AJ, so alas my team got trounced from the playoffs. Leaves me with only a single team left from my original four.

    Fitness: Missed out on my heavy lower body day to spend as much time as possible with my before he returned to his Army unit. Dropped him off at the airport today, so tomorrow and Friday will hit the gym for the final two sessions this year. (I take a week away from the gym every 13 weeks, with my last break timed for the week between Christmas and New Year's.) Got some money from my folks to spend as I saw fit, part of it will go towards replacing my lifting shoes which are literally falling apart due to age (almost ten years old now).
