I'm probably going to rewrite my routine today, been doing the same one for months and want to switch the exercises up a bit.

But it'll be something along the lines of bench/some upper assistance, and pull ups/some back assistance

Normally I lift during lunch. But I got pretty yucky yesterday and ate a half metric ton of Little Ceasers. Luckily I took metamucil before bed so I purged alot of the evil this morning.

I'm going to hydrate all day at work and get it in a basic chest workout afterwards.

20 mins of cardio
Flat Bench
Flys
Pushups
Tri extensions

That is something I am not great at either. Rotating exercises in and out I mean over periods.

Had been slacking on chinups for a long time, lol.

For sure, i think when you been lifting for a long time and it's not the centre of your life anymore, it becomeseasy just to follow the same old chit you've always done and are comfortable with endlessly. It has it's good side, you'll always lift when you have that routine without even having to have that 'am i lifting today' internal dialogue that leads so many people to slip out their routine, but it can make lifting stale. I definately have my 'favorite' exercises and i somewhat need to break out of using the same old excercises.

Chinups/pullups are the chit brah, one of my favorites. Get back on them haha

How did it go? What's your PR? Lately I've been focusing more on mobility and ROM than chasing the numbers, but want to again soon (tm).

I do almost zero focused work on triceps and am wondering if I should add that as a finisher srs. Even for the 'vanity' aspect.

On every chest day I do a tiny bit of Tris at the end. Its never super intense or anything just a finisher as you said. Same with Bicep on back days.

I've actually started doing a dedicated arm day (lol) because I feel like my biceps lag way behind my Tri's on this day I do Dips + BB Curl superset, Then Hammer Curl+DB extensions Superset, then I'll finish with Bicep preacher machine until I cant move my arms (4-5 sets with some drop setting)

You don't eed to destroy yourself on the bench. I find BB bench to be the most annoying due to fixed position, so I use DB slightly rotated inward to ease shoulder strain. I keep the weight moderate and focus on the squeeze. People constantly make the mistake of pushing too heavy on the bench and proceed fuk their shoulders up in the process, but it seems everyone is victim of the same thing and only learn after the damage is already done.

I'd like to run tb500/bpc157 and GH to see what the recovery is like.

On lat pull-downs, I saw a Eugene Teo short which suggested using the tricep rope so you pull down and get a better squeeze for the back.

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

Taking a few days off to deload.
Failed my last 2 3x5 squat maxes. Got 5-5-3, and the next workout got 3-x-x.
Failed on my 3x5 press max too. 1-3-3-1.
Figured it’s time to deload.

Thanks. I'm actually thinking about forearms too - I have been slacking on my captains of crush training because honestly it was making my tendons feel weird. One physiotherapist here in NYC said they 'devastate' the tendons...

This. Yolo benching is for your teens/20s, if you want to sustainably lift there are ways to do flat bench, with discipline, and drop the numbers a bit to master the form.

This is what I was mentioning earlier about the rope pulldowns:

Yeah, I am. SlowlyYou end up favoriting what you're good at, right?Was doing weighted chins a few years ago, then my scapula went to chit (probably due to bad form), so doing it all more sustainably now.

I don’t have a great science-based reason. 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.

On my lunch break today I did:

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.
