Lol have evolved into doing Starting Strength. Sadly don't think I will be able to make squats a regular movement, tho. Really irritate that old injury in my right hip -- same issue with doing like BSS or standard leg press, just at a certain depth I get a weird burning sensation. Hence making reverse nordics my main movement there. Will try to play around and find something else I can do additionally, tho.

Vain update: feel like the focus on incline work has been rly paying off. Upper pecs looking filled out for first time I can recall.

Also did some very light neck stuff. No pain (also no day-to-day pain either), but there was a bit of "crunching" when I did right-sided lateral neck extensions, so clearly some residual inflammation. Progress

Bench felt rly good. 3x week, bro time. Somehow reverted to a very "stick to basics" routine lately, but that's fun. Maybe should include some sort of rear-delt movement since that might be slightly neglected, otherwise I think everythign is covered. Might try out barbell lunges, scary as they are.

V good workout overall. RDLs getting so heavy, so might stick with this GM switch, or maybe switch to deficit RDLs and go for a rly long ROM/big stretch. Play it by ear. GMs have to be careful since it is very easy to cut ROM since you have no clear landmarks while moving, might need to take regular video to keep self honest.
unsolicited: do not fuck with tendon and ligament irritation.

For sure. May try to keep runs a little shorter, since it has only ever appeared at either the ~40 min mark or later reps on a workout. Also getting some new shoes in the vague hope that will do something.

Still feeling not fully recovered from this cold, and, relatedly, recovering slower from training. So, lower volume cmobined Fri/Sat workout here.

Strained my neck on Monday and it's still not back to 100%, but is a lot better.

Run yesterday felt good even with a stuffy nose. Lifting today ok, recovery between sets had me a lot more out of breath than usual, unsurprisingly, and didn't have the energy for the little movements at the end.

Not 100% recovered from cold, but enough to have a basically full strength workout. Dunno why I did wide grip bench, prefer the feel of close-grip.

Been totally wiped out last few days by a cold or some such, but felt just about well enough to do something light today. achy everywhere, esp knees and lower back.

Abbreviated for time. Feeling a bit beat up from session yesterday. Achilles were a little sore towards end of run too. Maybe I need to get another pair of shoes in the rotation.

Notes

Maxed out my DBs and want to improve my CGBP, so that substitution made sense. Pecs/delts not really recovered from Saturday [probably bpushed the volume too far there given it was first week back], so mediocre performance. Nice workout overall though.
