7-12-2025:

I get tired of typing the same workout with nothing changed except the weight.  It's the third workout of six increases in weight. It's getting hard. No warm ups shown. I might do one or none regarding warm ups.

Power clean 3 x 3 then 1 x 1

Dumbbell squats 2 x 12 (Surprised these aren't more popular. I know guys think I use 300lbs for barbell squats and where can I find two 150lbs dumbbells? It takes a whole lot less weight to equivocate the same effort. Meaning if you use 300lbs for your reps with a barbell, two 110lbs dumbbell will be hard as hell if you go ass to grass with an upright back.)
Leg extensions 2 x 20
Stiff leg deads off a block 2 x 6 (  I go really low and yes I round my back a little. It's the old school way.)


Flat bench press with a bar 2 x 6  then 1x1  (So far my bad shoulder is holding up. A little surprised by this.)
Weighted dips 2 x 10

Reverse grip supinate pull ups 2 x 10
Seated traditional pulley rows 2 x 12

Military press 2 x 8
Dumbbell delt laterals 2 x 12

Tricep pushdowns with a straight bar 2 x 10
Dumbbell alternate curls 2 x 8

Seated calf raise 2 x 15
Tibalis work 1 x 20

Incline situps 1x 26
Incline leg raise 1 x 16

Four way neck 2 x 30 reps.

Ivanko gripper 2 x 20


Nobody here would think so but I think I'm doing really well with my training. Looking decent on the beach, lol.  Now I'm going in the pool on this cloudy day.

7-13-2025: I ran a slow quarter mile on the treadmill to warm up then went outside to run 2 miles in the humid heat.  At the end I did 6 x 60 yard sprints. Going in the basement I did these drills that hopefully will preserve and improve my sprinting speed.

1. Hit the heavy bag for two, three minute rounds.
2. Bulgarian split squat 2 x 12 (Tried to go deep. Still feel a little unstable doing these)
3. Lunges 2 x 8 (Went deep with 30lbs dumbbells)
4. Step ups on a high box 2x11
5. Jump ups on a high box 2 x 8 (varied from a 16" box to a 20"box.  Hopefully I will go higher soon.)
6. Jumps with dumbbells holding two 10lbs dumbbells. 2 x 8 (Tried to explode each rep and landed on  rubber flooring.)
7. Single leg calf raise on a wedge 2 x 15

I came up from the basement thinking I was in heat exhaustion from the run and basement workout. I really felt like crap. I knew that in an hour I would have a house filled with family soon. I glanced at the pool and I always want it beyond pristine for guests. Took me about an hour of labor to get it completely clean.  The guys that have pools bordering the woods know the challenges involved. Now the doorbell was ringing with the masses coming in, lol. I wasn't in a cheerful mood.


Today 7-14-2025: I'm doing jack shit.  I'm not moving.  No walks, running, lifting, boxing drills, plyometrics, or even hitting a rubber ball with a rubber string attached to a paddle. Just got invited to a family BBQ later today. Wife wants to go. Nope, I shot my load yesterday and I have to do nothing but rest today.  Going to float in the pool in an inflatable chair and look at the clouds.
