    Thanks Shug! Good to see you stop by!

    Warm up- - 500M row in 2:01

    Squat - Sore groin squatting again. Dropped weight so pain was tolerable in the groin and then my knee started to hurt. Sigh...
    375-2
    265-5

    Calf raise
    155-17

    Incline bench at 45 degree angle
    205-9

    Decline bench with 3.5" block under front feet of bench
    DB's 85-11 - The inclines and declines for bench are leaving my shoulders happy. The increased reps and weight reduction from the more difficult positions are likely keeping the shoulder issues down,

    Power Clean to strict press
    155-5 - Added the pressing movement back in for each clean. The press is fully strict

    Chins
    Overhand grip - BW-10
    Underhand grip - BW-9 probably didn't rest enough between sets as underhand is usually easier for me. Just happy nothing hurts. May add 5 or 10 pounds next workout.

    Ab wheel
    From knees - 10 felt this in my groin again, particularly my R testicle

    EZ bar curls
    120-8 fairly strict, immediately followed by
    DB's 30-7 for the burn

    Tuesday - More mountain biking - cardio is good, now concentrating on increasing my pace uphill with more 2nd and 3rd gear climbing

    Warm up = 500M row in 1:59

    Deadlift - 430-5 - My paving stone project sure took a lot out of me. Still have a bit of a sore back, and my knees are still recovering. The good news is that I'm getting back on track. Felt good to deadlift today, although I'm still quite a bit behind weight wise where I was 6-7 weeks ago.

    Incline bench press at 45 degree angle
    227-5
    DB's 65-17 - Followed the barbell set with 65 lb db's

    BB row
    221-10

    Chins - Added weight since I hit 10 reps last time with only body weight
    BW + 10lbs
    Overhand-6
    Underhand-6

    DB Curls
    30-20,20, Last set of 20 immediately followed by a set of 10 with 20lbs for a good burn

    Warm up - 500M row in 2:03\

    Tired today, didn't sleep well last night due to a known stressful day at work today. Still managed a decent workout.

    Squat
    392-4 - should have been 5 but I wimped out on the last rep thinking how tired I was. Will repeat next week. Changed mindset for all consequent exercises
    265-12

    Calf raise
    177-15 added 22 pounds to this from last week, did 5 less reps.

    Incline press @ 40 degree angle
    210-10 - Will add weight to this next week now that I achieved 10 reps. + 1 rep from last week

    Decline dumbbell press with 3.5" block under front feet of bench
    95's-10 - Would add weight if I had heavier db's but I don't so will add reps. +2 reps from last week

    Power clean and press
    155-8 + 1 rep from last week

    Chins
    BW + 35 lbs - +10 lbs from last week
    OH - 5
    UH - 6 Same rep count as last week but heavier weight

    Ab Wheel - 15 - 5 less reps but did them more slowly. Could have done more but was getting late.

    EZ Bar curl
    120-12 - Lots of cheating on the last few reps - still beneficial I think as arms were burning
    DB - 35-12 - These followed almost immediately after the EZ bar curls - same thing, lots of cheating on the last reps. I've read cheating on curls isn't a bad thing, right?

    Tuesday - Mtn biking - 815 ft elevation climb - Had my first fall - took a bad line through a corner and my front tire slipped out on some loose gravel. Got a nice scrape on my L knee. Dusted myself off and continued on. That's what I get for trying to keep up with my youngest son...

    Today:

    I'm still losing bodyweight a little at a time. Down 13 pounds or so from starting. Still eating the same as always, but not snacking much between meals, plus the cardio from biking is probably helping too. May try cutting back on my portions now too as I'd like to lose the paunch that I still have.


    Warm up - 500M row in 2:01

    Deadlift -
    458-3 - I knew these were going to be hard today as last week was a struggle to get 5, and I added 5 pounds to today's lift. Was shooting for 5, got the 4th up to my knees and ran out of strength. Might have to change up my programming now, but will first try a repeat at this weight.
    375-5 - Since I couldn't get all my reps I dropped weight and got a set of 5 in.

    Shrugs
    375-10

    Incline Bench at 40 degree angle - Bumping weights up with the barbell, bumping reps up with the dumbbell work
    243-5 with barbell - +5 pounds
    75-20 with dumbbells - +3 reps

    Barbell Row
    166-15 - strict - +5 lbs

    Chins
    BW + 37lbs
    Overhand grip - 5
    Underhand grip - 5

    Dumbbell curls with 80 degree upright bench
    35 - 17 - followed immediately by:
    25-10 for the pump

    starting strength coach development program
    Warm up - 500M row in 2:04

    Felt weak and tired today. Surprisingly had a good workout! Funny how that happens.

    I have a large scab on my left knee from my bike wipe out last week. My knee sleeves reminded me of that when I put them on I'll have to wash them tonight...

    Squat
    392-5 Got the 5th rep today
    265-15 + 3 reps from last week

    Calf raise
    177-17 +2 reps from last week

    Incline Bench at 40 degree angle
    216-10 + 6 lbs from last week, still got 10 reps so will add more weight next time

    Decline Bench - 3.5" block beneath front feet of bench
    DB - 95-11 + 1 rep - Added 1 rep from last week. Considering making up a pair of 105 DB's. I've got quite a few 10's, 7.5's, and 5's plates (found a treasure trove of new looking loose weights at the dump a year or so ago) so just need another 2 DB handles and I'll make another pair up

    Clean & Press
    155-9 +1 rep - Probably my most taxing exercise.

    Chins
    BW + 35
    OH-6
    UH-7

    Ab Wheel 15

    Curls
    EX Bar - 120-13 - took a short rest followed by:
    DB 30-13 - dropped 5 lbs and did these strict
