Time to start logging again.

Knees still screwed. Just too lazy to do the stretching and foam rolling for them. I think I also need to work my shins out - i read somewhere that some knee problems can come from imbalances involving the dorsiflexors. I don't have the right dumbells for it. I can do seated toe lifts with a plate on my feet but it's awkward.

Still here. Neighbors made a gym in their basement, its still crappy and we’re still waiting on more plates. My legs havent been this skinny since probably high school though. Maybe 13 years ago? Yeah

Gym's closed for 2 weeks due to the corona virus
not sure what other gyms are open

orderd a chin up bar for at home, also 20lb dumbells for my delt work. lateral raises adn bent over rear delt flyes.
explosive incline push ups are surprisingly difficult. they target my tris a lot more than my chest, but should be enough for now. maybe ill find another gym to go to once or twice with a friend during this time

AirBnB workout. Have a busy few days traveling, i doubt i’ll get to a gym. The push ups were surprisingly effective for my tris, only a little for my pecs. Couldnt do dragon flags under the bed - bed was too light.

I recommend high angle rows to sternum/rib cage.
Blows up my side and rear delts - getting that Dwight Howard/David Robinson look....

It's kind a like a safer upright row, or slow clean pull  :trollface:

gotta try these... thanks!

My knees have been feeling a lot better. Except i went on a ~8mile hike yesterday which set me back a lot again. The hike was nice though, worth it I think.

Really want to make my shoulders a lot bigger. My upper chest has come in nicely with the higher inclines. And my upper traps have responded well to barbell shrugs, especially since I barely ever used to hit them. Need more shoulders though.

There's nothing like squats. I try adding in step ups, good mornings, leg presses... but I feel that nothing hits my legs like good old ATG squats. My knees are still messed up though. Better than before, but definitely can't hit ATG. Even the step ups didn't feel good at all.

Love how I can hit high volume without an issue when I'm gaining weight.

Haven't updated in a while - i had cut down to 184lbs ish. Was looking pretty skinny, but strength still there. Doing a mini-bulk of sorts for a month or so before I hard cut back down for a week or 2.

Tried doing step ups... knees still not okay with it. But I needed to hit quads, theyve shrunk! To my surprise, I could leg press with limited ROM and it was fine. Finally have some decent quad work done. Even cooler - I think it helped my knees! My ROM increased by the 5th set. Maybe it was nice to lube up my knees with high rep leg presses.
