Front squat: 45x8, 95x5, 135x3, 225, 275, 245x3
High Bar: 275, 295, 275x3
Low Bar: 225x5 (LBBS bothered shoulders. Still no low-bar position, which is a shame because it's way easier and otherwise more comfortable.)
No sleep last night. I had nothing today but am forcing myself to get in there regardless.

Been sick for a week with a bad cough. My son's birthday party was on Saturday so I had to rally but was then crushed Sunday-Monday (yesterday). Fortunately, it held off just long enough for me to get through my last interview and get a job offer. Five minutes from my house with a clearance, working in cool technologies. Feeling better today. 315x4 felt like I'd have 8 reps in me once healthy and caffeinated, so that's cool.

Front squat: 135x3, 225, 295
pull ups: a few assisted warm ups and a set of 5

Fasted this morning, unintentionally and ran late to the gym. Did a thing and left to eat. Need more upper body work. Starting by layering in dips and chins until my tendons are pleased enough to handle variation and loading.

Hectic couple of weeks. Interviews, accepted a new job, left my old one and just finished week one of the new gig. Ready to get back to training. They have a gym full of machines there but it’s better than nothing. Probably just do some bodybuilding for a while until I can find a groove. I think I’ll actually keep up with it this time :-/

Rode the bike to and from work - it’s only 3 miles away!
Short back workout. Cable rows, pull-downs and curls.

Full load of drainage stone dumped this morning. Moved 8000 pounds of stone up the driveway and around the yard this afternoon. I’m calling that my exercise today.

Dug through the rocky Virginia soil with a pick ax for about fifteen hours over five days to dig 30 feet of drainage trench and a dry well for heavy rains. Ran a drainage line and loaded the 8000 pounds of gravel in there, grading the whole way. Lots of "static holds" in the bottom of a squat. Lots of digging and swinging and digging some more. I'll call that training for most of this week.
06May19
Fasted walk at 130-140 bpm for 40 minutes (2.5 miles with a pack)
Machine flies, bench, db bench, cuban presses and triceps push-downs on lunch
2.5 mile power walk/light jog at 145 bpm average, 33 minutes.
Walking/running to work and back several days a week to help shed some of the fat that I accumulated in my laziness. Wearing the heart rate monitor, keeping it around 70% and hoping to slowly get faster with time and practice. Bodybuilding stuff on lunch and squat/front squat/deadlift as time and energy allows. Hoping to find someone to squat with somewhere. It's tough in the garage alone when you're barely awake or tired from the day.

More yard work over the weekend.
14May19
Straight-arm push-downs: 50x10,12,15,10,10
Pull-downs: 120x10, 150x10
cable rows: 120x8,8,8,8,8
shrugs in the hamstring curls machine (improvising): 170x20x5
seated cleans (cuban press): 15x15, 25x10,10
Work gym. Blah. Doing some pre-exhaust since none of the machines go very heavy and my biceps tendons are too irritated for decent weight on the pull-downs and rows. Good pump if nothing else.
Mowing the yard with the heart rate monitor on this evening, usually about 45 minutes at 140-145 bpm
