Today I am doing a programming change and turning leg day into long run days. Dev day will take over my squat work, to keep my squat progression on track. This program change is only until May when I go to run the half marathon I’ve been training for. For this half training run I […]

Unfortunately lost this log. It was okay, this was a post-birthday celebration workout so I was a little hung over and not quite as productive in the gym as I’d have liked to be. Didn’t get a good burn at all. For the record though, a workout did happen on this day for chest. Pretty […]

Well today was back day again, and something I learned today had a pretty big impact on my workout. I saw this video on Jonnie Candito’s training channel CanditoTrainingHQ. Bicep tears are a common deadlift problem but not often spoken about. I notice when I do deadlifts I do feel periodic twangs up and down […]

Today was a short day, had some errands to fix up at home and go out of work late. On top of that, had a pretty low energy and took a nap after work which ate up more time. After the 21.45 mile run on Monday, I wanted to get some heavy leg lifting in […]

Okay well today was arm day and I needed to have a good workout because it was also my birthday, and what better way to celebrate the ripe old age of 34 than to get a glory swole bicep/tricep pump. I’m going to keep this log short because the workout was simple, but it was […]

Well, ran 21.45 miles today (canceled leg day to accomodate for the long run), although I admit after mile 15 I stopped maintaining a running pace and it turned into a series of walks with intermittent hobbled jogging. The total trip took 4 hours and 45 minutes, I started in Frick Park and ran down […]

Just laying down the law about chest day, the final day of my deload cycle. So far my deload accomplished a lot. It helped me recover my body, speaking a couple days after it’s over now I feel real good, capable of carrying through to my vacation. Plus it taught me a lot about form, […]

Okay today is back day, and I’m continuing my deload cycle so lower weights. This was a very fun and effective exercise day today, and despite the lower weights I still felt every exercise really engaged me the right way. I could probably even work out at these levels and still get good gains, honestly. […]

Okay today was dev day, and I’m continuing to practice my deload cycle by lowering weights across the board. It was a big day as I wanted to focus on squat development, lats and traps from the previous week’s workout. First, squat development… Back Squat (high bar): 5 sets of 5 reps @ 145lbs. Slow […]

To continue my deload cycle, I did arm day. Arm day was pretty fun all said and I got a great pump, despite the lower loads. I focused a little more on biceps this time, as last time I did triceps more. Remember if you read this that I don’t log my warm up sets, […]
