Today, I shifted my workout to Monday instead of Sunday as I normally would.  The reason I did this was because some of my muscles were still sore form last week, so to present injury I decided to wait an additionally day.

So to keep it short today, below is what I did on Monday instead:

• Bench:
  • 45 lbs –   the bar for 8 reps (weird clicking sound in my left arm, so I’m taking it careful)
  • 135 lbs – 8 reps warmup.
  • 185 lbs –  10 reps (no real problems, but I felt it… no straining this time though).
  • 205 lbs –  4 reps (felt strong again today, I might have been able to get 5 reps, but I’m still sore.)
  • 165 lbs – warm down set (8 reps, did them slowly because my right pec felt weird, hope it’s not a pull.)

• Curls
  • 45 lbs – for 10 reps
  • 75 lbs – for 10 reps
  • 95 lbs – for 10 reps (weird clicking sound so I took it easy this week.).
• Rows
  • 95 lbs – 2 sets of 10 reps
  • 115 lbs – set of 10 reps (no problems, but tired so no increase).
• No weight squats
  • 2 set of no weight squats for 10 reps each.  My right leg hurt a bit where I have a muscle tear from the past.
• Goals
  • Be able to bench press 250 lbs by the end of the year (I’d be happy if I could get 225 by the EOY). – 225 might be possible now, but why push it?  Once I can do 205 for 8 reps, I’ll think about trying 225 for 1 or 2 reps.
  • I already met my curling goal, so maybe I’ll try to go for 115 for 10 reps instead.

Working out is definitely not the same as it was even 6 years ago.  I’m making decent progress, but still very weak overall.

That’s it for this week,
