But it’s a good way to start the day for a variety of different reasons. It’s one task knocked out. It wakes your brain up and give you time to plan for the things you have to do during the day.
Same with the gym - the hydration anyway, if I go lift early the next day after a drinking session it's chitty.

Supersets of
DB bicep curls
Kneeling lat pulldowns with band
DB shoulder press
Band tricep pushdowns
Did not make it outside for my 10 min walk this morning. Not sure if I'll hit treadmill tonight. I barely slept last night and worked all day so pretty beat. Will do PT leg exercises in a bit.

This has really helped me, srs. But it'll be time to buy some new dress shirts soon lol.

Legs from a fitness model friend and I think I’m going to die. Especially as she had me use the rowing machine after.
Mostly split squats on the Smith, ham curls, bad girl and good girl machines, leg press and this intestine glute press on the Smith.
I don’t even know what a lunch break is. There’s always some fire drill that prevents me from leaving my desk.

Tuesday and friday are broken up very differently to mon/thur. Today was BB squat, 45 degree leg press, weighted pullups, v-grip pulldowns and EZ bar bicep curls. Friday will be DL, BOR, hack squat (in a smith), EZ bar bicep curls and then multiple rear delt/row exercises with a double cable station.
Wed/sat/sun is swimming.

Squats 6x6
Calf raises 5x12
Deads 5x5
Skipped step back lunges - was a clock puncher session - dieting and didn’t feel like additional volume “fluff” today.

Today I hit deadlifts. Trying to peak for a 700 attempt. Went up to 675 and wanted to do a triple but forgot chalk. Used straps but even with straps it was slipping from sweat. Powered it up for a solid single so happy with that and probably for the better... Then I did a couple sets of RDLs and then chest supported rows and lat pull downs to failure with some drop sets. Don't do drop sets a lot but was feeling a good pump.
Gonna deload next week, probably work up to 585 for a single and then back and lat work. Try for 700 the following week.
