Fine..I will do a mindless log...

2/13/2017:

OK today I did arms/chest AGAIN as my schedule last week got wacked due to weather and health issues, and also wanted to get my arms back up to snuff as they been lagging since injuring my left arm 2 weeks ago.

As I took today off from work as there was no one to go with my mother to get an MRI done for back surgery eval (she was scared as hell to go herself) so I went, and as that went well I had an opportunity to go to the gym earlier today and had a bit more time.

Ate nice breakfast today at a diner near the hospital my mom went to for appt. Omelet with home fries and wheat toast and orange juice.

So here's what I did today:

Stationary bike ride: 8 min (to warm up cold muscles ready to stretch)
Stretching/foam rolling: 15 min.
Side/front laterals: 10-15-20lbs for 2 sets 8 reps each. Not as much pain today doing these so that's good.
Seated curls: 10lbs-20-35 for 2 sets 8 reps each. Now getting somewhere!
Triceps pushdowns: 40-60-80-100 (BOOM!) for 8 reps.
Facepulls: 20-40-60 for 2 sets 8 reps.
Upright cable rows (low pulley): 10-20-40-60 for 8. Got 2 at 60lbs due to pain but better than before!
Bench: bar-95-135-185-225 for 8. Got 5 at 225. Much better progress so satisfied.
Incline press: Bar-95-135-185-225. Got just 1 at 225lbs due to left arm crumpling up due to pain. At least this was better than before so there's progress.
Plate-loaded dip machine: bw-bw+45 bw+65 for 2 sets 8 reps.
Seated cable rows: 75-105-145-175 for 10 reps each. Not bad!
Seated smith machine OHP: bar-95-135-155 (PR) for 8 got 3 at 155. Not much pain as wore sleeve for this.

Pushups: 40
Bike Ride: 10 min

Done! Was a bit whipped but feel great.
 
Looks like I've gotten my lung issues crushed for good...breathing's gotten a lot better and my energy level has been much better so still using a vaporizer to keep the air in my bedroom moist as air's dry as hell. Going to doc next week for lung capacity eval.
 
So here forward should be the best weeks of my cycle, barring any more issues I may add. My strained left bicep's healing nicely and I sure hope I can get to lift more soon enough...maybe setting some nice PR's along the way.

I bought the new rehband thick sleeves for my left biceps tendinitis ... lush, bud, you should try them ...

Good mornings: bar-95-135-155-170 (PR) for 8 got 2 at 170.
RDLs: bar-95-135-225 for 8 got 6 at 225. This is first time really doing these and the weight felt light. Didn't do more as not to risk injury.
Barbell Squat: 135-185-225-275 for 5 got 2 at 275 as right leg was cramping badly. Was going to attempt 315 (with spotter) but pumps were getting bad.

Quick bike ride.

Done.

Overall not too shabby a workout but today felt kinda blah but pressed on. As it was crowded tonight I had to kind of rush. Left arm was cramping but was able to hold the bar for squat, goodmornings and RDLs.
 
More updates..sorry been slow posting them as been busy with work and hard for me to type a lot on my little Samsung phone.

Bent over rear delt flyes: 10-15-25 for 8 reps got 2 at 25. Not bad as left arm is coming along.
Triceps pushdowns: 30-50-70-90 for 8 reps 2 sets each. Awesome!
Facepulls: 30-50-70 for 8.
Cable upright rows: 20-30-40-50 for 8. Getting better.
Seated bicep curls: 15-25-30 for 8 got 3 at 30 due to pain.
Barbell Bench: 135-185-225-265 for 8 got 1 at 265. Finally getting my mojo back on this :)

Pushups: 40.
Bike Ride: 10 min

Done.

Overall a good workout with my left arm strength and stability improving but at end felt rather ill so called it a night. Took hot shower and was barely able to eat but after a good nights sleep felt a lot better and really hungry this morning. Think by the end of next week my left arm should be stable enough to start packing it on as lost enough time because of the injury.

Didn't go to the gym 2/18 because of family event, so will go Sunday.

This workout was not too bad despite being tired, so having high hopes for Friday as left arm's been feeling pretty darn good.
 
Did you take pre measurements? You know like arms,chest,legs,calves,forearms?
No, sorry I haven't done pre-cycle measurements...I should have done that though. However my strength has gone up decently so far and my left arm's getting more stable so I am confident I can make some good lifts tomorrow.

My mid-cycle bloods will be here any day now.
 
Sorry guys I haven't gotten around to updating my log as I have been sick as a dog since late Friday after my workout and been in bed 2 days running a fever and coughing my lungs out. Turned out I had developed bronchitis according to my doc when I went to see him today. Got more antibiotics and an inhaler.

However here's what I accomplished for Friday:

With my health issues I am going to drop my test down to 250mg per week in 2 shots .5cc each to keep hormone levels stable. This is to see if my health improves after I complete the treatment regimen my doc prescribed for my bronchitis. If it does, them I may bounce back up to normal dosage.
