I missed yesterday due to having a contractor at the house. Made it today though! Chest and back

Bench press 5X5
Bilateral lat pull down 5X5
Hanging leg raise 5X10
Ab roller 5X10
Incline bench press 5X10
Bilateral row 5X10
Cable rotation 3X10
Cable fly 4X15
Low row supinated 4X15

Unsure about tomorrows workout. I'll have to decide tomorrow.

Did some light to moderate weighted hex bar deadlifts. Back is starting to feel a little better. I was looking forward to doing "Squatober" starting next week, but think I'll wait at least another month before trying to add that much volume.

I am thinking about using the month of October to focus primarily on cardio with light weight workouts as a supplement just to let my back heal up a little more. Thoughts?

Sounds like a good plan to me. Even though I have some jacked up lumbar vertebrae, I still do leg day. But, I've quit doing anything that puts compression on the spine. Squats for sure are out. No weighted bars pushing down on my spine. Everything I do for legs now is supported somehow. Seated leg press, sled leg press, leg extension, prone and standing legs curls plus calf work is about it for me.

Almost talked myself out of going but just walked in for legs

Back and shoulders done earlier today…

I hurt all over. Took a rest day today.

Interesting analysis from my Garmin watch/app.



I’ve started doing more volume/intensity with my lifts while still working in some longer runs. My body is prettty sore, which is typically reflected in my HRV during the initial recovery.

I did BSS, DL, Pull-ups, box jump overs, bench press and an external shoulder rotation lift on Tuesday.

40 minute run yesterday.

That’s very interesting. I am curious as to how you feel? I have recently started resting a bit more. Due to being a bit busier I have ended up working out every other day. I have been able to push a little bit heavier weights while doing less reps per workout. I am kind of enjoying the change.

Honestly, I’ve felt “strained”, LOL!

I resumed some resistance training when I got back from Utah, but I wasn’t really consistent the first week or so. I hit it pretty hard this week, and my body is feeling it. I took yesterday off and then did a good but lower intensity workout this morning.

We leave for Cabo tomorrow morning for a week. I hope to get a few workouts in, but I should have plenty of “recovery” time, too.

Had a nice run here in Cabo at daylight this morning. Our resort villa is high up on the side of a “hill” with a switchback road up. I ran about a mile and a half down to the beach, and then continued along the beach. I thought I would be able to run on hard pack sand near the water, but that part of the beach is roped off so I had to run in the soft sand, which was pretty grueling.

Then I had to go back up. Oof. My HR was around 175. I had to walk (hike) some of the steeper climbs, but my HR stayed around 170. I t was nice to cool off in our pool after the run!
