Hey guys (like anybody is going to read this) I decided to try this online journal thing out. I'm not starting a new program or anything like that but hey, who cares. My program might look a little weird but I've had to ditch many great exercises due to multiple herniated discs in my back. I keep it simple and focus on progression rather than a fancy exercise collection. Here's what I'm doing these days
Day 1 chest/Legs Push
Dumbbell Bench Press
10-10-8-8-6-4
Dumbbell Bench Decline
12-12-10-10
Hammer Strength machine press (incline)

Split Squat
8-8-8-8-6-6
Step Ups
8-8-8-8
Day 2-off
Day 3 Back/Legs Pull
Pull up/ Pull Up Weighted
10-10-6-6 (6's are weighted)
Seated Row Narrow grip
10-10-8-8
Single Arm Bent Over Row
12-12-12-12
Reverse fly super set with Dumbbell shrug

Seated Leg curl

Calf Press

Day 4-off
Day 5- Start over except day 1 starts with decline bench
I am well aware that the program is lacking when it comes to legs but that is intentional. A month ago my back went out again after almost a year of feeling good so I have to be very careful with all leg work for a while (been advised against doing any at all by the neurosurgeon). Also I've opted for no "direct" shoulder work simply because I'm still working my way out of injured rotator cuffs (same reason I'm only doing dumbbells)
The first workout I will log is tomorrow's Day 1. I'm planning on video taping if the gym is not too crowded, and posting it on here to further keep track of progress.
Now in case someone mistakes this for some interesting person's journal, thanks for at least accidentally reading!
