Thank you for the compliment!!! I really appreciate that. That helps me stay motivated!!! Squats have always been my best lift. Wish I could even out my chest and back work!!!

Hey, looks like you did a great job. I'm sure you did what your body could handle for today and that's what counts!



I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

Today, Kinda makeshift day. Thinking I'm going to go back to a 3 day/week routine. Too much to do with family and especially my daughter!!! So I'm going back to that routine next week. Not sure how I want to split though. Here are a couple different ideas:

Mon-Pulls
Wed-Push
Fri-Legs

Mon-Back/Delts/Traps
Wed-Chest/Bi's/Tri's
Fri-Legs

Any other ideas? I want to keep legs and back more days apart because of Deads for back, and Squats for legs. Thats alot on my poor old back!!! So anyway, back to the good stuff:

CHEST
SS
Incline Flyes-40x10,50x10
Incline BB Bench-215x10,215x8
SS
Decline Flyes-50x10
Decline DB Press-50x8
DS
Machine Bench-170x10,155x7,140x6

BICEPS
SS
BB curls-115x7
Hammer Curls-40x8
SS
DB Preacher curls (w/6 count negatives)-35x10 (both)
Reverse pulley curl-45x10
DS
Cable Curls-85x8,65x6

TRICEPS
SS
CG Bench-185x10
Rope Pushdowns-85x10
SS
Reverse grip pushdowns-65x10

Good lookin' work session, arch!

Glad to hear the kid is OK. We had to put off my son's birthday party at the last minute. He woke up from his nap w/ a 101 fever. He's ok, nothing else happening, just one of those things I guess.

The plus side is I already had all that chicken out and ready, so I grilled it up. (Hmm...I meant to send you some, but looks like it's all gone now...sorry.)

Well, not really gone, I suppose. I just moved to the outside of it.

Nice w/o buddy! I like Push/Pull/Legs routine. Would you still do P/RR/S with the new split?



I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

Thanks I like the Push/Pull/Legs also, but was wondering if it would be better for me and weight wise, to do the Back/Delts/Traps (mixes both pull and push) and then Chest/Biceps/Triceps (again, mixes both push and pull) Maybe I shoot a pm over to GoPro Yes, I still will be doing the P/RR/S routine!!! I really like it
