Thanks mark! I just got out of my session. Wasn't too bad.I get nervous about working on really in shape people- but sometimes they are so tore up from bad recovery etc,that its actually a little easier than working on a detrained person full of adhesions and parts of the body that just can't feel anything ironic but true,I've massaged thousands of people by now and should just realize this.and yeah, I think the last thing I want is my form/fault injury misrepresent a sound training program.

Pulled out of my injury and have been doing trail runs/hill sprints. The weight loss has been nice, some travel broke up the sched and this week have run once but now starting back with the bar. I dont log trail runs because, well, I dont know how to measure progress so well- time, number of sprints up the hill - its pretty variable.
For my next phase of lifting I am going to try to address some of the imbalances that come from carrying my horn- Ive pondered unilateral work and, aside from being a bit boring Im not sure I have the time or programming knowledge to come up with anything meaningful.
So, still not sure - other than working in back extensions and other movements that strengthen lower back - Ill probably just keep squatting and pressing and doing pull ups and cleans. Im nervous about Deadlifting- but Ill figure that out as I go along .

squat- 225 3x5
Press 130 3x5
Pull ups- 5x5
Dips 1x10
dumbell press 70 3x5
40 minute walk with wife.

I was disappointed that my squat was so low- however- I did drink 3 beers a couple of hours before the gym. I was so into getting back that I went ahead and worked out- (wasnt drunk- just a little sleepy) felt good- but Im going to at least start with 250 next time on supposition that the beer held me back- I can usually walk in and squat 250 detrained.

Wife-

press 30 3x5
pull ups- I dont know, I was doing cleans-


I havent been to the gym without a program in a long time- was fun. just trying to stay off my legs- they ache and are full of blood.
Also, was trying to jockey around working out while training my wife- encouraging her to manage her own warm ups. She is getting more independant. the broism in this new gym is a sad riot- and very confusing to her.

I might try one more workout tomorrow- I really want to see what my squat is looking like without any booze in the system. or just rest, Monday is a run day- Im going to have to figure out a way to program that stuff- Im clueless- grilling some cow and fish.

That problem with the "ballage" on back extensions can be nasty if you can't or don't adjust the pads just right. Glad you're back again.

[JM3]

Mark!! thanks man -youre the reason Im keeping a public log in the first place. Its very helpful- if perhaps a little pretentious for an old partied out weak sauce jazzer like me-- so Im always indebted to you!

[Mark E. Hurling]

Old, you? Not quite yet. You do me too much honor, Sir.

[JM3]

respect is mutual MEH!

clean 155 5x3
Dips 6,4,4,3
Pull ups- 4,4,3,2,

hill walk- 20 mins.

Ok- Im back now- 250 is usually where I start when deconditioned and last work out was post 3 beers - so Ill consider this the first day.
Dips were sucky because the gym I worked in (I go to two) only has a thing with counter weight- really fucks me up to have that thing clanging at my knees.
Pull ups were lame because I was fried.
I need to deadlift. but Im fucking nervous about pulling my back again, can feel my injuries (adductor, vastus medialis, psoas a little) even as I squatted- ah phagocytes... Tomorrow will be sprints or a light trail walk/run if Im super sore.

Deadlift- 275 1x5

originally just wanted to deadlift. bench then go hit the trails- but had to reorganize because people were in the way. good to start deads again.

6/30

Squat- 270 3x5
F squat- 120,125,130, 135
press- 140 1x5 135 4x5

Still trying to figure out how to put front squats in to add volume to my squat sessions- only going to do it while the weight is so low- till I get to 300 then probably split off and give it its own day. good workout- cleans were ok- Im definately off my honeymoon with everything but squat and deadlift.
