Notes: First day with the dropset protocol. Liking the approach, even with the babyweights. I'm thinking of cutting out my descending sets from 5/3/1 and just making them part of the dropset so I can get some more weight moving. Left shoulder is really junked up; think I'm dealing with an impingement again. This is the second time I got one after pressing twice a week; maybe now I will learn.
Kelso shrugs 50lb DBs
5x12
Notes: Performed between sets of presses. Meant to note that I'm going super old school by standing up and placing my forehead on the pad of an incline bench to keep myself properly situated.

General notes: Woke up at 196.0. Honestly wasn't really happy with how this day broke down programmingwise. Felt like I left a lot in the gym. Didn't really have the intensity I'd like to go with the low volume. I'm thinking I'll ride this out for a month just to give my body a break and then go back to what I know works.
On an injury update related aside; carried my wife from the couch to the bedroom with no knee snafu.
Things you do in a home gym that you wouldn't do in a commercial gym

Hah, amazingly I got that idea right out of Kelso's Shrug Book, which had movements performed in the commercial gym. Apparently it was an old school way to maintain your back angle during bent over rows.
DeleteAnd considering all the crazy crap I see people do in a commercial gym, I wouldn't even bat an eye, haha.
