    Hey gang

    I like myself unconditionally!

    Happy Tuesday! Full schedule and class today. My daughter goes back to LA today. :( Won't see her for another couple of months or so.

    Weights: Lower Power

    Rack Pull 5x5
    BB Hip Thrust 5x5
    One-Leg Press 5x5 <superset> Leg Press Calf Extend 5x15
    Roman Chair Knee-Ups 4x20

    Analysis: REALLY did not want to get out of bed this morning, but days like today are why I've built up the discipline of getting up anyway. Took me until the third working set to feel like I actually wanted to be there, but once I did I was able to increase the weight on the hip thrust, so small win after the slow start.

    Food: Last night was baked French onion chicken with sautéed red potatoes.

    Do you take the coconut oil as a gel cap pill, use it to cook your food, or simply pour into a spoon and then bottoms up?

    Weights: Upper Hypertrophy

    Incline Bench Press 3x10
    DB Bench Press 3x10
    BB Row 4x10
    Pulldown 3x10 (1 set each hands over, under, neutral-grip)
    Face Pull 3x10
    Cable Lateral Raise 3x10
    Preacher Curl 3x10 (3-second negatives)
    Cable Pushdown 3x10 (5-second negatives)
    Perloff Press 3x15sec

    Analysis: I'm debating swapping the incline bench press for incline DB press, something about the incline bench hasn't felt right on my shoulder the last couple sessions, not sure if it's the bar or the angle being steeper than I'd prefer.

    Food: Dinner was a burger burn with DQ blizzards for dessert to celebrate my daughter getting hired for her first job after graduation

    The older I get, the more I avoid injury. Good for you for being mindful.
    Congrats on your daughter's job! Good parenting paid off. :smile:

    Hey gang,

    I like myself unconditionally!

    Happy TGIF! Full schedule. I've been having anxiety pretty much the whole week over the 9ers. Everyday at work I'm doing my best to defend the 9ers against naysayers and how Mahomes is going to carve us up.

    BB Step-Ups 3x12
    Leg Extension 3x12
    Lying Leg Curl 3x12
    Calves Extend 4x15 <superset> Cable Crunch 4x10

    Analysis: Last week's light-squat day was just what the doctor ordered, as today I felt like a beast and got after it all day long. But even that felt like it paled in comparison to a dude I met at the gym, knocking out a 50-rep set of cable crunches at age 75!!!

    Food: Dinner was Hamburger Helper stroganoff. Tonight will be homemade ribs with mashed potatoes.

    Hey gang,

    I like myself unconditionally!

    Happy Monday! Well not so happy anyway since the 9ers ended up losing the Superbowl and I direly wanted this one so bad. Now I have to hear all the BS at the gym for at least a week of how we blew it and couldn't beat the Chiefs. While it was a good game, I wish the outcome would have been different. Now I switch to the Warriors and see if I can get any solace for them.

    Cardio: Walk/jog- 260 calories

    Strength: shoulders- machine shoulder press, rope face pulls, rear lateral raises, side lateral raises, single arm cable side laterals, shrugs with dumbbells 4x15

    Weights: Upper Power

    Bench Press 5x5
    Cable Row 5x5
    Machine Decline Press 5x5
    Machine High Row 5x5
    Seated BB OHP 5x5
    Cable Woodchoppers 3x10 (High, Cross, Low)

    Food: Last night was traditional Super Bowl fare of pizza and chicken wings

    NFL: I didn't have a vested interest in either team during the Super Bowl (though would rather my division rival Chiefs NOT win), so I just tuned in hoping for an even contest with some good commercials. Very satisfied on both counts. Sorry, @ninerbuff about your boys. Reportedly, a coworker who is normally very boisterous about his team (49ers) was quite subdued during the graveyard shift last night. Really looking forward to next choir practice when one of the guys there (Chiefs fan) starts to crow, as did my pastor at the end of his sermon yesterday.

    Hey gang

    Happy Tuesday! Full schedule and class today. I took a tongue thrashing yesterday from anti 9er fans, but all admitted it was so close that either team could have won and one of the best SB's ever to watch.

    Cardio: Walking/jog- 260 calories

    Strength: chest- Hammer incline bench, machine flat bench, dips, cable crossovers 4x15

    Assessment: Steak and asparagus for dinner last night.

    Workout: No workout today. Right before I hit the 8-hr mark of day staff, one of the guys working shift fell violently ill, so I sent him home and took the rest of his shift (another 6 hours). Factoring in commute, and I didn't get home (or eat dinner) until almost midnight. Figured it would be best to not try hitting the gym after 4 hours sleep for a heavy-legs day.

    Food: McDonald's drive-thru.

    Cardio: Had to get my security access badge renewed, which involved a lot of walking from one building to another to a third and then a fourth, the last two for all of two seconds so somebody could update a single note on a computer file, because OF COURSE all these things couldn't be done in a single transaction.

    Food: Homemade fried chicken with noodles last night. Normally we have sweet potato casserole, I tried something different, and my daughter told me in no uncertain terms how we would go back to our usual the next time we had this meal, OR ELSE.
