    I haven't lifted in 2 weeks. I tried to work the hamstring with lunges, and doing stairs 2 at a time. Today I felt like ass but I got under the bar

    Squat 45x5,5
    95,5
    165x3
    225x2
    245x5,5,4.....I dropped down in the hole and got of balance and had to bail forward. it sucked. Glad I have spotter bars.

    Bench
    45x5,5
    95x5
    135x5
    165x3
    185x3,3,3,3,3

    shoulders hurt, knee hurts, ankle hurts and my right hip hurts in the front.....I may have aggravated something, it's been. bothering me for a couple weeks. Basically I'm a whiney little bitch today.

    yep, old man hammys are finicky beasties. i'm just stretching and not squating for a month or so and hoping that does the trick; so happy it doesn't bother me at all on deads.

    I've had some bad pulls, over the years and I took the standard tactic of do nothing. Ice and heat. Several weeks and sometimes months to heal and multiple little repulls as scar tissue broke. This is an old body with lots of history, but "you dance with the girl what brung ya."

    Everything felt good. Weight moved well. I have adjusted my stance wider with feet not as turned out. I just sort of stumbled on this stance doing a few body weight squats this morning to loosen up. It felt good so I will probably keep trying it.

    Chins are hard. Wrist, shoulders and elbow all bitch at me from them, but since I started LP with Chins, my biceps look good and I haven't done curls. I used to do curls all the time. usually in the 12-15 rep range . My biceps might have been a bit bigger then, but not by much. I like not pissing away so much time, and being able to pull my body weight up is a useful thing.....bicep curls were not.

    My weight gives me fits. I have tried to clean up my diet for the last couple weeks. Still trying to get 200 grams of protein a day. Some days I feel like I can't eat another thing and some days I'm starving. My weight wasn't moving at all until 4 days ago. This morning I'm 215.8. I felt good. Strong. Knee hurt while walking a couple blocks to work but aside from that I felt great.

    Squat 45x5,5
    105x5
    170x3
    230x2
