Sounds like a crazy workout Mike. Good thing you weren't wearing a "T Michael" shirt.
I hit back yesterday, everything felt pretty decent. Today I'll do rehab type sets for chest and shoulders.
I had to walk off some anger this morning.
1.03 miles with the 11lb pack.
The morning walk is always the hardest part. I never want to do it. Want to toss around some kettlebells, lift weight over head, or do some pushups? Yep. How about walk a mile? Nope.
It is also the part I am hardest on myself about. Every time I beat myself up about my performance and lack of drive. I'm older and recovering from injury, but it is a long way from running/jogging 5k three times a week and doing at least 1.5 miles everyday. Heck it isn't even up to the four or five miles a day I was walking at work.
Still better than I could have done in June. So, it counts for something.
5 pushups
5 one hand kettlebell swings / side
5 two hand kettlebell swings
5 one hand OHP / side
5 two hand hang rows
Continuously repeat the circuit for the entirety of one song (your choice), then take a one minute break and repeat.If the song stops before you complete a round, finish the round.
Not perfect or complete, but I still can't squat. Plus, 4:44 of this was enough to get my head swimming with three rounds.

10 Minute Arms
2 biceps and 2 triceps exercises
24 reps per set
Alternate muscle groups
No rest except the transition
10 sets total
I have been doing a lot of random OHP and it feels like I pinched something on my left trap. So, taking it easy today.

Hope the trap feels better soon, Mike.
I musta done a billion reps for chest and shoulders today.
Maybe I exaggerate a little....
Can't seem to lose fat despite watching your intake of food and doing cardio for months? Join the "to hell with it, let's bulk!" team. I am about a month in to lifting heavier and eating like a beast. Going to re-measure again tomorrow in case I'm retaining water, but am happy to report I FINALLY hit 17" on my right arm. Want to see if I can eke out another 1/4"-1/2" in anticipation of losing it on the next cut.
Edit: my pants and size L shirts absolutely hate me right now though

I've been deficit eating for about five weeks. I do great six days a week, but that one big dinner kills it. I miss being able to eat 2,500 calories a day and have a cheat meal on Saturday while maintaining a steady 200. Now if I don't eat 1,800 a day everyday I can't get below 230.
Time for another 100 kettlebell swings and two dozen pushups.

OK a question if I might
On a simple machine
Overhead fly bar w weight pulled down to behind my head
then belly crunch holding the fly bar against my back behind my head
If I do the crunch while pulling the fly bar down to my back is it the same exercise? One motion instead of 2 seperate motions?

Back to the post breakfast stroll with a 20lb KB. Never set the bell down and change positions every "lap."
I did a little bit of shoulder and traps yesterday. I was too tired to do much. I've only had about three hours of sleep each night for a couple of nights. Apparently I need at least ninety minutes between smoking and going to bed.
