Hope you feel better soon!!!
It is terrible working out with crud in your chest. It makes you lightheaded and dizzy and you feel like you can’t breathe.
Good workout though!

Felt like that at the end hence calling it quits

What’s the temp over there Mobster?
It’s starting to get cold here too. Just above freezing at night right now. But it’ll be here soon…
Hope you start feeling better soon.

Just starting to feel better. So much so I fell asleep and broke my fkin glasses

The weather has changed again. From frosty back to damp
 
Monday
I managed to break my glasses (spare set also knackered) last night. Urgh. So I might miss tomorrows session in lieu of an opticians appt (squints at the screen while typing lol). On the upside I think I'm through the worst of the chest infection. Busy day today

Sucks when you have to get it done and not at 100%. It it always makes me feel better mentally to do what I can. Even if it is diminished quality while dealing with not being at my best. Way to keep pushing!
 
Tuesday
At the gym early (8.45am) so I could make an early appt at the opticians. One of the owners dropped me off. Busy and lots done so tomorrow is free
Seated Press

Thanks. All the info said 12-18 months recovery and I'm way ahead of the curve.
Of course you are you UK Iron Den freak!

I read a study that indicated grip strength is correlated to those who live longer. True story.

Probably less tumbles down the stairs bashing your head open because the old men can actually hang on to railing bannister. 🤣

Mobster will live to a hundred!!

Several references to that.
 
@Mobster , I might have missed it in your log, but what is your training split?
I'd don't think of what I do in those terms.

For me, as an over view, I train thus:

Mon = legs
Tues = shoulder and forearm extensor
Thu = arms (bis, tris and forearm flexors)
Fri = chest, back and thick handled work if I have time

With the exception of legs most is ONE exercise (currently 2 for delts/shoulders). I will alternate ONE exercise with another (see alternating arm exercises from session 1 and 2). On back I'm currently rotating 5-6 single exercises over 5-6 back sessions.

Back examples: pulldowns OR low cable rows OR one arm dumbbell rows and so on

If there's any issue for me it's that I can max almost all the kit out. Ironically I have a leg press here which goes loads heavier and I can pin what the f**k I like on my kit

It’s funny. I find that I’m either close or maxed out on many of the machines. I try to go plate loaded in that case. Or change up my tempo and go slow and controlled and get that hypertrophy in there.

I recently just switched back off a 'higher reps' program for the last 8 weeks or so - 20 reps on some exercises. I can, if I am careful, use a gym pin to add weight to the selectorized stacks. On the plate loaded machines I can use thinner competition plates (indeed I personally paid for and donated 4 such 20kg/44lb plates to the gym - making 12 in total). This means, using the mid iso-row machine, that instead of a max of 120kg/264lbs I can load a LOT more. I suspect I could get 8 x 20 a side on that. That said you gotta be careful not to break the machine at that point.

Brother, my condolences. Some days just putting one foot in front of the other is a victory. But pushing through the hard times is how we grow and learn to face and overcome adversity.
yeah the gym saved me

When it gets close to 700kg I have to use the skinny 20's and all their 25kg plates. More and someones going on top. In my own gym I still haven't used my own 1600kg rated 4 pin machine.

He could probably bend the dumbbell in half if he wanted to do so 💪

I worked triceps Thursday and did this Friday.

It's less a tricep thing than the wider grip most use made my shoulders ache plus I bench more with a closer grip.

I love using that safety bar for squats! I would have never tried if I had not been following you and was able to look up what a hatfield squat was. With my fucked off shoulder, It is the only I can do squats because it enables me to hold on to the bar with the handles. It has Changed my leg workouts.
Ever since my back surgery, I avoided weight directly on my shoulders, and then before i picked up the flu, I gave them a ago with my trainer, and my back was GREAT!!
Its on now brother!! I can do squats again!! My back is good and I can grip the bar!! And only because of what you have posted, otherwise I would never have known.

I literally, following a frozen shoulder issue some years back, cannot get both hands on a standard bar. Plus I can load my legs a LOT more this way.
