Sweating to the oldies day:

Three rounds - 5 min each (15 mins)
-Alternate: farmers walk, airdyne, rower, d-bell press, sandbag carries
5 mins - Treadmill

Stretches - lower-back, hams, hips.

Bench day / Pressing day (I dont really do "Chest or Pecs" per se)...

Bench
- 225 x 5 (2 sets raw)
- 315 x 3 (4 sets w/ SS)
Close Grip Bench (no SS needed)
- 225 x 5-8 (4 sets)
JM Press
- 185 x 5-8 (4 sets)
Nose Breakers
- 115 x 8-10 (4 sets)
 
Lying Tricep Ext (tricep bar)
- 4 sets
Dips
- 4 sets
Tricep Cable-Press
- 4 sets

Some good things that came out of it:
Much less shoulder pain, so bench and close grip w/out Slingshot felt very good.
Can now do Dips again pretty much pain-free.
Getting there...

Arms today
Close grip benches
Dips..I do cgb and dips on tricep day but also gets me a second chest day
Rope pushdowns
Pushdowns with a straight bar
Was about to start biceps and I thought what the Hell so I put a couple 25s on my ez curl bar and backed up to a wall to see what this strict curl shit felt like.So I did that weight easy then did 100 easy so then I put on 120 and it was easy too. I didn’t go any heavier because I had a bicep workout to do but I am pretty sure I had 150 in me. I will be 64 next month Hell I might be a record holder 
Any way did Db curls 3 sets
Cable curls then did several sets of hammer curls
Did some wrist curls then called it a day
We have had snow and ice for a couple of days and us Texans don’t know how to handle that but I got my workout done in that cold barn.
Have a great day guys

Did sumo deadlifts yesterday for the first time ever (age 42) and boy my crotch is sore (nh).

Great workout Cook.
One of the guys on my team at work is in TX.
He grew up in Michigan so is used to foul weather.

But he tells me about the morons out there in TX when it snows, they are all over the place literally.
IM in NH and normally we're mobbed with snow/cold/ice.

Its been warm (40) and Springlike (not much snow) all Winter so far... Enjoyable for a change.
