Done. Trying to workout and put the kids to bed at the same time is difficult. Shoulder still has discomfort benching so took it easy from what was suppose to be a Friday bench day. Actually got sick on Friday and felt like shit all weekend, but feeling a little better now so I'm glad I got this in. My 2 kids also have something so I probably caught whatever they had. Covid home test was negative. We did do a day trip to the city on Saturday and I got in 15k steps that day with the help of dayquil. Hoping to bench at work tomorrow and deadlift at home at night.

Anyway going to keep trucking along until our vacation where it will be mostly active recovery at the beach.

Cable Tricep Pushdowns

Done. Only a small amount of L shoulder discomfort, but I am still more controlled on the eccentric and more cautious on the concentric pushing the weight up. 305 felt heavy, but this is the heaviest I gone full rom with comp grip after my shoulder felt messed up. I also held my pauses longer then usual on all reps. Maybe deadlift tonight.

Done. Got 12k steps today. Took the kids to the park and kicked soccer ball with my oldest right before lifting. Wanted to test how many reps I could get with 365 at RPE 8.5-9.I was expecting 4-5 so in the ballpark. Still got a lot more work to put in. Not the volume I wanted either and zero accessories again, but it is what it is. Off work tomorrow to chaperone for my son's zoo field trip, so goal is to bench tomorrow at home in the afternoon. Ideally fit in a heavier squat and just some easy volume deadlift work on Saturday.

Sunday - 4/3/22

Got in over 11k steps on my phone. No weight training today, but took the kids to the playground and got in 40 pullups. I think it was 5, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5. I want to take more advantage of getting in a workout at the park so I want to make a few DIY slam balls. A sled would be nice too, but not sure what's the best way to transport a sled and plates since we usually just walk to the park and the kids will take their scooter or bikes. Kids would probably have a blast If I pulled them all over the grass.

Make it a wheelbarrow transformer. Roll it on a plate then swap to push/pull handles once you're on site. And they're going to get on it for the ride even if you don't ask lol. From 1 yr old to 13.

Alright I'll let you know. My biggest hesitation is storage. My garage gym area is tight and garage already has too much crap with either cabinets, shelving or kids stuff blocking all the walls with a SUV parked inside daily. I need to eventually get a few more mini storage sheds outside which will help. When that happens hopefully I can find some space.

High Bar Close Stance Squat - no belt, flip flops
135x6
135x6
185x6
205x6
225x6
245x8

Done. I was exhausted and very close to not working out at all, but I decided to just get under the bar and go from there. Last set felt easy even though my back felt tight thoughout the workout. Hard to say because of my back and shit cardio, but probably RPE 6-7. I need to really up my moderate/high intensity cardio/conditioning and GPP. Not just for better efficiency, but for health.

Rogue Echo Bike

That's it. Was warming up for bench, but shoulder just not cooperating today so decided to rest it and jump on the echo bike for a low-mod intensity ride with a sprint towards the end. Also did 1 set to failure of crunches. Maybe bench and deadlift today.

Times up. Squatted with flip flops again. Left shoulder is really bugging me, but was able to squat with no shoulder pain. Was going to jump on the echo bike, but didn't get a chance. No idea if I can bench tomorrow or may have to find another alternative. Ideally bench at work and conventional deadlift at home in the evening.
Lol I lift in slippers all the time but not squats. Why not just go barefoot?

Sucks about the shoulder. My shoulders suck too, seems like everyone injured theirs.

My platform is so dirty there's no way I'm tracking that inside the house lol. Also unless I'm working out after the kids sleep at night I'm usually multitasking while lifting so I'm in and out of the garage constantly. Wearing slippers is just easier sometimes, but I should probably clean my gym area more often though lol..

Yeah sucks about the shoulder. Not sure how I messed it up. Could be around that time I started messing around with random lifts and I was throwing balls more with the kids. Oh well just need to keep training around it and hopefully it will be back 100%. I'll be back to Hawaii on Friday for 8 day vacay so that should give my shoulder a break from routine lifting. May hit up 24-hour fitness on Kapiolani one of the nights I'm there though.
