Been to the gym once or twice the last 2 weeks due to being busy at work then catching China Flu. Gonna hit it hard this week as we leave for Mexico a week from tomorrow.
Monday, national chest day, so I did chest lol.
Mostly machine work, saw a flat bench open up and grabbed it. Worked up to 315, hit 3 sets of 6 at 315, then worked my way back down.

After missing almost 3 weeks being sick with not covid..... Got 3 workouts this week, cardio each time and lifted twice. Did start coughing a ton after workout of course, but should be able to get back at it this coming week.
Back day.
Getting cold in the garage.
Definitely going to be blowing insulation in the ceiling and hanging a unit heater in here before next winter. I doubt exterior walls have insulation but there is sheet rock hung. Might have to just pop some holes and pack the stud bays from the top.

My garage is chilly too.
New plan, lifting every day for therapy.
Not overly excessive, been in maintenance mode for about 21 years
Point being its awesome, natural mental therapy.
Last year I was dreading off lifting days on work days.
Work is pretty stressful, yesterday was chest, shoulders, triceps etc
Normally today would had been an off lifting day (I cardio every day)
But working with lighter weight - > many sets, arms, or whatever really helped bringing my angry, stressed because of work mindset back to reality thinking of chill, I can manage this etc
In any event, exercise is hands down the best stress reducer.
At least in my opinion.

If I was a little bit younger I'd have loved to train for that stuff. I love watching it on TV
i recommend stuff like made up leg exercises on the assisted tricep dip, and standing on the shoulder press machine facing inwards to do shrugs, for fun and variety. try those ;p
Thatās about full range of motion for 90% of people doing squats anyways. Exaggerated knee bend.
hurts because it's true
i can go parallel squatting in front of the mirror in my bathroom, when i go to the gym and throw any weight at all on my back, my body is always telling me to abort earlier. the lowest i'll get is if i cool down and go to 1 plate on each side and really try to do it, even then, not as low. guessing this makes muh gainz simply much slower.You have to train yourself from scratch to change your form, just do the bar for a while, then add a little weight and slowly over several weeks work your way back towards the weight you were doing, depth on squats has always been one of the most important things to me and it built the shit out of my legs a few years ago when I was squatting heavy 3 days a weekhurts because it's true
Do you have long femurs or is that just the pic? If so itās that much more impressive, long femurs make squatting difficult af
I really donāt know what defines long lol, Iām 6ā tall, I watched lots of YouTube videos on stance and powerlifting and just kind of made up my own form, and I squatted that same depth on every rep because it felt like cheating if it wasnāt deep enough
did my heaviest standing overhead dumbbell presses, 6 reps of 50s
also incline bench, 7 reps of 65s
still seem to have non-existent upper chest and rear delts, so, guess i need to find some more specific exercises for those
