Here's hoping for a good one today!

Pushups x42 (+3 on knees), x24 (+3 on knees) (I've decided to cut a set of these out. They're great for pre-exhausting both pecs and tris, but enough is enough)
BB Bench Press 115 lbs x10, x10, x7
Incline BB Bench 100 lbs x10, x9
DB Flies 76lbs (2 x 38lbs) x14, x11
Close grip BB bench 90 lbs x12, x12, x11
Skull Crushers 50lbs x11, x9
Bench Dips x18, x17

That was a great workout! Lots of energy, lots of improvement. I feel like I'm back on track.
 
Legs and Shoulders - The two body parts that are well and truly screwed up by the Army. Hehehe.

Squats 145 lbs, x16, x6 (I pulled a muscle in my thigh. Its a small pull, but I'm not gonna exacerbate it by finishing the set)
Stiff Legged Dead Lifts 145 lbs x14, x14
Standing Calf Raises 145 lbs x20, x15
DB Military Press 56 lbs (2x 28) x12, x12, x10 (My right shoulder is a holy mess. I'm changing to lower weight DB presses to save the poor joint; hopefully I can strengthen the joint by working those stabilizing muscles)
Upright Row 75 lbs x10, x10, x8
 
Thanks for that! Back and Bis today.

Deadlifts 145 lbs x13, x11 (had to cut a set of these today. I lost my workout gloves and the bar is tearing my hands to pieces)

Shrugs 145 lbs x16, x13 (these I use an alternating grip, so not as much of a problem)

Chin ups x6 (+5 Assisted), x4 (+5 assisted)

Bent over Rows 100 lbs x11, x9, x9

ez curls 55 lbs x14, x9

DB curls 56 lbs (2x 28) x7, x6

Hammer curls 56 lbs x7, x7
 
I had one of my worst migraines ever yesterday. I'm hoping it won't recur in the middle of this workout.

Pushups x43 (+3 on knees), x24 (+3 on knees)
BB Bench Press 115 lbs x8, x10, x8 (I'm feeling very weak and shaky today. Not sure why. Feels like my hypoglycemia, but I ate plenty this morning. Sigh)
Incline BB Bench 100 lbs x11, x9
DB Flies 76lbs (2 x 38lbs) x13, x11
Close grip BB bench 90 lbs x12, x11, x10
Skull Crushers 45lbs x12, x8
Bench Dips x16, x15

Pretty terrible workout, but at least I finished despite my utter lack of strength and energy.
 
Injury Day! JK

Squats 145 lbs, x16, x14, x11
Stiff Legged Dead Lifts 145 lbs x12, x11 (I went for a run on Sunday for the first time in a long time and my hamstrings are hurting)
Standing Calf Raises 145 lbs x21, x16
DB Military Press 56 lbs (2x 28) x13, x12, x11
Upright Row 75 lbs x11, x10, x9

Not bad. Much better than sunday.
 
Here's hoping for a good one.

Deadlifts 145 lbs x13, x12, x11

Shrugs 145 lbs x16, x14

Chin ups x6 (+6 Assisted), x4 (+5 assisted) (I can't believe how much this is working my forearms lately. That never used to be an issue)

Bent over Rows 100 lbs x11, x9, x8 (forearms holding me back again. I hope they catch up soon.)

ez curls 55 lbs x15, x9

DB curls 56 lbs (2x 28) x7, x6

Hammer curls 56 lbs x7, x7

I've been really getting back on track for diet, keeping at ~500 below maintenance (I had lost focus for a while) and its costing me in strength gains, but at least it hasn't set me back any.
 
I'm starting a cycle of Haloplex. It's obviously not gonna be as good as Halo Extreme, as it doesn't have the recovery agent added in, but it was dirt cheap, so I can actually do 75mg a day (I got two bottles for $40). I'm only doing 50mg for the first week, but I isplan to move up to 75 from the second week on. I'm also taking a liver protection blend, straight milk thistle, DAA, Bronkaid (with caff and aspirin), and a standard multi-vitamin.

I'm also going to use my Craze pwo supp for the first time. Seemed like a lot of people here liked it, so I ordered some. I was just using a no-calorie energy drink from Sam's Club, so I'm hoping this will be better.

I'm excited. Chest Day!

Pushups x44 (+3 on knees), x24 (+3 on knees)
BB Bench Press 115 lbs x8, x8, x9 (guess its just the stricter diet. I got used to steady improvement, but this fat needs to MOVE!)
Incline BB Bench 100 lbs x11, x9
DB Flies 76lbs (2 x 38lbs) x14, x11
Close grip BB bench 90 lbs x12, x10, x10
Skull Crushers 45lbs x12, x10
Bench Dips x16, x15

Up until recently I was building muscle, gaining strength, and losing fat, but those days are gone. To lose the rest of this fat, I'm dieting much more strictly. It's a little daunting to LOSE strength. Sigh
 
I keep watching your thread and its making me feel like a slug seeing your determination. I need to take lessons. :thumbup:

I ran yesterday, so I'm expecting legs to be a little weak.

Squats 145 lbs, x16, x14, x11
Stiff Legged Dead Lifts 145 lbs x14, x12 (It doesn't take long for my legs to get used to running - apparently)
Standing Calf Raises 145 lbs x22, x18
DB Military Press 56 lbs (2x 28) x14, x12, x11
Upright Row 75 lbs x12, x10, x9

That workout went really well considering that I'm cutting weight. I think the Craze may have helped. Definitely had good energy.

I'd like to just comment on the weight I've been using for squats and deads. It hasn't gone up despite moving well out of the 8-12 sweet spot for reps, because my cheap ass barbell can't hold any more weight without breaking. I'm hoping to get a nice, one-piece steel barbell for christmas (plus more metal plates to put on it), but until then, 145 is the max.
 
Back and Bis baby!

Deadlifts 145 lbs x13, x12, x12

Shrugs - I'm short on time and my traps got hit pretty hard by the Deads, so I'm skipping these this week.

Chin ups x6 (+6 Assisted), x4 (+6 assisted)

Bent over Rows 100 lbs x11, x10, x9 (I need to set up a camera for these next week. I don't think my form is very good)

ez curls 60 lbs x12, x7 (Finally decided to up the weight on these. It felt good, better workout for my old biceps)

DB curls 56 lbs (2x 28) x7, x7

Hammer curls 56 lbs x8, x7

Not bad considering my cutting diet. Actually made some improvements. Seems to early to give the credit to the Halo, but maybe.
 
I'm hoping for a good chest day, since the rest of the week went well (fingers crossed).

Pushups x42 (+3 on knees), x24 (+3 on knees) (These went down, but I'm trying to be better on form, it's gotten sloppy)
BB Bench Press 115 lbs x9, x9, x10 (Awesome! Back on track here. Maybe the Haloplex is already kicking in? Dunno, but I like it)
Incline BB Bench 100 lbs x12, x10
DB Flies 76lbs (2 x 38lbs) x15, x12 (this is another exercise I feel like I'm ready to move up weight on, but my weight set won't allow it. Can't wait for xmas)
Incline DB Flies 76lbs 10x , 9x (I'm bringing these back to get more isolation in my chest. I want it to fill out)
Close grip BB bench 95 lbs x10, x10, x9 (Man! That extra 5 pounds felt very heavy)
Skull Crushers 45lbs x13, x10
Bench Dips x18, x17

A very good workout overall. I'm quite pleased.
 
I'm sick, but working out anyway. We'll see how it goes.

Squats 145 lbs, x18, x15, x12
Stiff Legged Dead Lifts 145 lbs x14, x13
Standing Calf Raises 145 lbs x23, x18
DB Military Press 56 lbs (2x 28) x15, x13, x11
Upright Row 75 lbs x12, x11, x9

Another decent workout despite being sick and cutting. This is a good week!
 
Back and Bis baby!

Deadlifts 155 lbs x12, x10, x9 (I wasn't gonna go past 145 because of the stress on my cheap BB, but since these start on the ground instead of up on a bar, I thought it could handle another 10 pounds)

Shrugs 155 lbs x14 , x12

Chin ups x7 (+5 Assisted), x4 (+6 assisted)

Bent over Rows 100 lbs x11, x10, x9 (forgot to get the camera ready, but I think I found the problem. Focusing to much on getting the bar up to my chest, rather than using my lats to pull as far as I can)

ez curls 60 lbs x12, x7 (no improvement, sigh)

DB curls 56 lbs (2x 28) x8, x7

Hammer curls 56 lbs x8, x8

Not terrible. I've had better.
 
Fun day! I'm noticing a real difference in my triceps. They were non-existent before I started training, but now I see them anytime I extend my arm!

Pushups x43 (+3 on knees), x25 (+3 on knees)
BB Bench Press 115 lbs x10, x9, x10
Incline BB Bench 100 lbs x13, x11 (next week I need to add 5 pounds)
DB Flies 76lbs (2 x 38lbs) x16, x12
Incline DB Flies 76lbs x11 , x10
Close grip BB bench 95 lbs x11, x10, x9
Skull Crushers 45lbs x13, x10
Bench Dips x18, x18
 
I'm getting a new barbell with metal plates tomorrow, so I added some weight now that I'm not worried about bending this old one.

Squats 155 lbs, x15, x13, x10
Stiff Legged Dead Lifts 155 lbs x13, x12
Standing Calf Raises 155 lbs x20, x15
DB Military Press 76 lbs (2x 38) x11, x10, x7 (had to make a big jump in weight due to the inflexibility of my current weight set)
Upright Row 75 lbs x10, x10, x8

The extra weight felt really great! I'm excited about my new plates and barbell. Can't wait to use them on Thursday.

Sometimes that is all we need to force us to progress to heavier weight.
 
So, the new weight set has significantly heavier bars. If it looks like the weight has gone down, this is the reason, I'll actually be lifting more, but the plates won't reflect it.

Deadlifts 155 lbs x9, x9, x9 (with the new bar this is about 10lbs more than last week. It feels nice to put up some weight that actually challenges me)

Shrugs 155 lbs x13 , x10

Chin ups x7 (+6 Assisted), x4 (+6 assisted)

Bent over Rows 95 lbs x11, x10, x9 (with the new bar this is about 5lbs more than last week. I think more form is pretty much on target now)

ez curls 55 lbs x10, x7 (same deal. Bar's heavier)

DB curls 60 lbs (2x 30) x9, x7 (My DB's were always pretty heavy and I added the weight in. I'm not doing that anymore. Just the plates)

Hammer curls 60 lbs x6, x6

I love my new weights! Awesome!

I usually do some informal forearm exercises after this workout, but my blood sugar is low again. For the past few days I've just been starving all the time and more prone than usual to hypoglycemic episodes. I think my metabolism is getting back on track now that I've lost so much fat and I need to readjust.
 
I'm not exactly bursting with energy today, we'll see how it goes.

Pushups x36 (+3 on knees), x28 (+3 on knees) (I was feeling very weak for these. Not sure why.)
