Shoot I like this routine! Good job on staying with the program too bro. I know all about missing time from the gym and what not. I like your monday routine so much, I think I will employ it for my saturdays

When I started lifting again I was way out of the loop so I wrote up a simple 5 day with deads, bench, squat, pullup and dip days + 2 accessory exercises. All basic stuff like good mornings, push ups, bent over rows. I still pretty much stick to that template but now I do cleans, thrusters, rings, and tire flips too. I am getting back to basics and working on control and form.

I almost religiously log everything with a IPhone app, "gym buddy". It's easy to then check the preceding three or so workouts and choose the most appropriate exercises for my next workout. Stops me overdoing my 'favourite' exercises and so my workouts are more balanced. Stuff I do is pretty basic, anyway.

Iphone? app? My phone is made by casio and I take my notes on a piece of graph paper.

Sounds pretty handy^

I tend to be really lazy bout that stuff and go from memory. Online forums and running logs come in handy for that though.

Casio makes phones???

gzone waterproof phones and kickass calculator watches. They have a new style phone that can do fancy stuff but that technology is beyond me.

It's a little early but here's a new pic because I like standing nearly naked in my freezing cold garage.

wednesday weigh in, 203.6, down around 2 lbs which is what I am looking for.
I took a pic this morning but it looks pretty much exactly like the one from 2 days ago.

Today is bench day.

I had a great session today.

I did bench early while still fasting and it didn't feel right. I was pushing 205x8 which wasn't what I has aiming for and I couldn't focus.

I went to check on a job, ate some oats, had some of rxwheys explode and then had a sweet session. dips. 20 20 20 15 15. Incline db 50x13 x5 and flat db 50x15 x5. I did some rope jumping, work on one leg squats and banged out 95 lb thusters to keep the blood pumping. I got a root canal last night and some gnarly antibiotics but I still felt good even though the weight was down a little.

Finished up to go outside and fedex was rolling up with my new guitar...ooohhhhhh.

Sweet..
Crazy what a little time and carbs will do for a workout.

I have lifted fasted before and could tolerate it, but it's probably because I ate well the day before. Nowadays I have a pre and sometimes intra workout shake. When lifting though, I made sure to eat at least 3 hours before lifting and not any sooner. Lifting while being full sucks.
