I am supposed to be recovering this week, but I've been battling a repiratory infection. I've been sleeping in my recliner because I can't breathe when I try to sleep on my back! Went to my doctor and he's got me on another cycle of anti biotics. I don't like taking the stuff but sometimes its nessasary. He thinks that I probably didn't get completely over the first infection that I had a couple of weeks ago.
I should be ready to go next week! I'm ready to tear it up! Just reading all of your journals is firing me up! Guess I'll have to wait until Tues. to start with Christmas being on Monday! Bummer! lol

Okay, time to get back to work! I'm going to use this week to ease back into training. So I'll use less weight and stop a rep or two short of failure.
Rep Range legs
squat 135x10 225x10 275x10 315x10 365x9 365x8
hacks 6plates x 10 8plates x 10 8plates x 8
one leg extensions 60x14 60x13
lying leg curl 105x6 90x8
standing one leg curl 40x12 40x12
stiff leg deads on HS base squat 90x14 90x14
standing calf 195x15 195x12
seated calf 115x12 115x12
calf extension machine 90x15 130x10
I worked out early this morning because I'm off from work until the 2'nd. Squats felt good as did the hacks, I used wraps on both. I like to start things off with a good leg workout, hopefully I won't be too crippled the rest of the week! ;D

Thanks guys! OMG, I am sore! Always happens after a break.
I'm having a heck of a time getting rid of this respiratory thing, I've got a doctors appointment this afternoon. I hate going to the doctor but this thing is out of hand! I've already been on two different cycles of antibiotics. My doc says if it doesn't help then its probably allergys.

Chest,biceps and forearms
benchpress 135x10 185x9 225x9 245x7 245x8?
Just trying to get back in the swing of things! Benchpresses felt good, no pain in my elbows what so ever! Weak as heck though, probably due to being down in bdwt.
incline dumbell press 90x10 90x10 90x9
These felt easy, just trying not to over run my cardiovascular system.
flat flys 55x15 55x15
Good pump!
alt. dumbell curls 35x10 45x8 65x9 65x8
incline curls 35x12 35x10 (OUCH!)
preacher curls 70x14
wrist curls 95x12 95x12
reverse wrist curls 55x15
Good workout, just not one of my best efforts. I still suck at reps! Just gotta get over this allergy thing!

"Like I said I'm going to try training hams twice a week for a while, just don't want to over do it! What do you guys think? "I never had great results from doing that! Since it's very difficult to completely isolate the hams and the quads on a lot of heavy exercises, i was sore in the hams on quads days and vice versa! So, for exemple, hams were sore when squating on quads days... which was not a good thing! Oh and by looking at your crazy workouts, i now understand that being Joel "the total package" Preston is not something that comes easily!

Thanks for the advice Mo. I'm just going to prioritize my hams on my leg day, I've already saw some improvements from doing more concentrated work.
Just trying to get to your level brother!

back, traps and abs HS wide grip pulldowns 6 plates x 10 6 plates + 20lbs. x 10 First time that I've used this machine. Felt good ,pretty much mimics a regular lat pulldown. T-bar row 4plates x 10 4plates x 10 I like this exercise, still trying to get into a groove seated cable row 210x13 210x13 I really feel these, I just started getting out of breath, darn allergy's are killing me! deads 405x8 365x8 I kinda sucked on these today. My legs are still very sore and I can't breathe! HS shrugs 6 plates x 12 6 plates +50lbs. x 10 x10 I like shrugs, this machine just makes them more convenient. cable crunch 100x15 100x16 vertical leg raise bdwt. x 18 bdwt. x 16 The workout was just so so today. Not much of a pump and I'm still struggling to breathe. The singulair that my doctor prescribed seems to be helping, hopefully I'll be back to normal next week.

Hey guys, I'm back in the saddle! Been having some computor problems! Darn wireless router's not working so I'm stuck back in a spare bedroom so I could plug into the modem.
Power shoulders and triceps 1-1-07
standing military presses 135x6 135x6 155x3 185x5 185x4 175x4
I started out too heavy on these but they felt great, one of my favorites!
seated dumbell press 80x6 80x5
lateral raise 50x7 50x6
smith machine close grip benchpress 180x6 180x7 180x6 these feel good I just started doing them when I started P/RR/S. The smith machines that we have in our gym are on a slight angle so I do them so that I'm pressing the weight towards my feet.
lying extensions 110x7 110x6
I do these with my head off the end of the bench and lower the weight behind my head for a greater range of motion.
seated dumbell extension (two hands) 65x8 65x8
These are one of my favorite triceps exercises. I've been able to return to doing them since starting P/RR/S!

Tuesday 1-2-07
This was supposed to be power leg day but.....
135x10 225x10 315x6 365x4 405x3 at the bottom of the third rep something made a little popping sound on the inside of my right thigh just above my knee wrap. Kind of unsettling! So I just eased it on to the safety rack and stood up. Hmmm, no sharp pain or anything.
I really think I had my wraps on too far up on my thigh and when I hit the bottom of my rep it put something in a bind, feels like my sartorius muscle.
Being hard headed and not wanting to stop my workout just because of a little pain I tested myself on the leg press.
400x30 400x20 490x15 580x10
Didn't hurt! I decided to stay light and just rep it out to stay on the safe side!
leg extensions 225x8 225x8
No pain!
lying leg curls 105x6 105x6 105x5
Our lying leg curl machine is hard! I like the machine, its angled in the middle and has elbow supports with handles, but the stack goes up to 250lbs! So if I'm ever able to use all of it I don't think my hams will be a weak point any longer!
stiff leg deads 225x8 225x8
Stayed light on these today and made sure that my hams did all the work.
standing calf 255x10 255x8 255x8
seated calf 3plates x 10 3plates x 10 3plates x 8
That was yesterday's workout. Today's a rest day, my leg seems to be okay. No swelling or major pain. I really think it had to to do with the wrap being to tight up to high on my leg.
