What are you training today? 2.0

I’ve been going toooo hard haha switched to lifting heavier and less volume and it’s getting my ass
CNS or Tendons? IDK.. sometimes my best days are when I feel like the weight is harder, pushes me to really just go ham. (Of course fuck an injury, but hey, we're in our 20s. We can get away with it, (for now.))

CNS no doubt. Even lifting sheets of plywood was incredibly hard at work and it usually a breeze. Ate a ton of food today and shooting for 9 hours of sleep

How are your electrolytes? Sounds like you could benefit from a week off. I take a week off rolling/sparring every 4 months, really helps with muscle memory, fatigue AND my skills improve (I'm imagining different positions, guards, holds so that is def a reason.)
 
Did some legs on the Bowflex after my ride yesterday...extensions and prone curls... just did sets to failure... no counting!
 
Day one Phase 2 of PT... actually put some weight (very light) into my protocol. Did some lat work, Triceps and delts on a universal machine and added some bands. Felt good to be moving along... but the lack of endurance was noticeable AF! Delts were screaming!
Can't wait for the next session. In fact I joined a local gym yesterday so I can continue my "rehab" without anyone from my job seeing me... my job owns the gym I originally belong to so... What they don't see won't incriminate me!
 
Back and bicep pump day today. Lots of rows, pull-ups, and curls. 60 second rest periods after each set. Best pump I've had all week.
 
Went to my undercover gym and did some more....Legs!
I'm calling it a Hack Squat machine till someone tells me otherwise and I LOVE IT! My shoulder is still tender from the surgery and I was nervous I was gonna rip something etc...
Took it easy with 5 sets using increasing weight.

1x 15 x 90 warm up form up!
1 x 15 x 180
1 x 15 x 270
1 x 8 x 360
1 x 6 x 360
I wanted to go 450... that's when I realized I need to stop now!!!

Seated leg extension
1 x 15 x 70
1 x 15 x 90
1 x 15 x 100 5 second hold on 15

Standing toe raises machine
1 x 15 x 40
1 x 15 x 70
1 x 8 x 90
Had to pull the plug because the padding just wasn't enough for my shoulder. Ill give it some time and try again.

Plate load leg press
1 x 15 x 180
1 x 15 x 270
1 x 15 x 320

Had to use 35lb plates to go up with on PLLP, because the 45s were scattered all over the place. It's a new gym so I guess I'm gonna have to break them in to the new reality that I want the 45s by the leg stations!!! LOFL... they'll learn.

Honestly bro I would not even dare to call those love handles. I'm probably a few years older than you.And my problem now is that I have extra skin.Which by the way is what I would say your situation is.
I'm reasonably certain at sixty years old , i'm not going to start competing... but my excess skin bothers me. I'm hoping I can bulk the upper body enough to pull that extra skin back in place. You can see the abds and a little sag round the belly button... frustrating!

Nice work. Respect keep grinding.

One thing I have learned is it takes time. Patients. That burns my azz at times. But we see ourselves everyday. We don’t see it. While others you don’t see often think Wow man look at you!!!

Yeah I always consider myself a work in progress. I try and keep it real with myself. I definitely do see my progress. I know I'm doing pretty good because people at my job refer to me as Jacked Dougie! LOFL... I don't know about all that... but the ladies seem to find a way or reason to grab an arm here and there so... I'm good w that! 😆.
You're looking real good yourself, my brother, do keep it up.

Back, Bi, Traps, Abs

I will workout around 7:30-8:00 as the sun is down and a bit cooler…still over 100 degrees but better than while the sun is still up blazing.
