5 sets of 5 @ 105 lbs

 

Right hip flexor felt weird during these...not painful, just weird. I know I need to stretch out my hip flexors more.

 

Bench:

45x5

5 sets of 5 @ 75 lbs

 

Need to buy some 2.5 lb plates. I think I might be ready for 80 lbs, but certainly not 85 lbs (the gym at work only has 5 lb plates, not 2.5, so I have to go up 10 lbs at a time).

 

Inverted row:

3 sets of 10

 

Knee push-ups

3 sets of 10 (lame ROM on last set)

 

Reverse crunches:

3 sets of 10

 

Arms are shaky now that I'm back at my desk, awesome. Time to eat and get muscles!

Me too. Now that my insurance is all set up I should look into what I'm covered for to see if I can get a better diagnosis. It doesn't hurt all of the time, but about once every two weeks it's just sore as hell for a few hours, then it weirdly goes away. Not related to exercise, it just happens.

Going back to lifting fasted (a la leangains.com). Didn't really notice a difference except in my OHP, that sucked today. Last time I did 75 lbs, this time 65 lbs was a struggle.

Nice work so far! Squats/OHP looking good, I know guys that struggled when they first hit that weight (including myself).

 

Make sure with inverted rows you're either moving the bar lower or your feet up (put them on something). And when blasting them out is still too easy, do 5x5 barbell rows instead.

 

Keep up the good work!

What's wrong with your bench? You haven't stalled yet, just keep adding weight.

 

Good idea with the barbell rows. Inverted rows are only good for getting a pump, I find them fairly useless except for that. My back's got much thicker since getting back on the barbell rows consistently. Gives a good base to push off when you lie on a bench.

I've been seriously doing the intermittent fasting thing for a week now and I already feel a difference. I think this is the way to go for me. I can eat until I'm satisfied and not worry about overdoing it on the calories. Took me awhile to get used to lifting on an empty stomach but I think it's alright now. The only thing I don't like is choking down BCAA's, they are so vile tasting.

Damnit, forgot my BCAA's again! That always happens when I am in meeting all morning and then dash to the gym at lunch. Need to set a reminder to pop up on my computer until I get in the habit.

 

Regardless, weights were up today - huzzah!

BB row:

5 sets of 5 @ 85 lbs

 

Didn't have time for push-ups and reverse crunches, will do those tonight at home. I've been carving out about 15 min. each night before bed to actually get some stretching in and my hip flexors feel much better because of it. They were tightening up even more with squatting three times a week.

Goal for next week: get out for a run two times, and at least one trainer workout. I have been super lazy with the cardio lately. I keep making excuses to skip it.
