    New personal best today on the bench. I managed 245lbs / 111 kg for 2 reps. I felt good at 225 and had a spotter so I threw a 10 lb on each side. I didn't even need a lift off. I am getting closer to my fitness goals.

    Dumbbell shoulder presses in sets til failure. One body part a day most days of the week. Over 50 in age now so daily workouts are kind of needed for me to keep in shape.

    SHOULDERS & TRAPS

    Standing DB Press: 60/6 and 60/5
    DB Shrugs: 90/25 and 90/20
    Standing BB Press: 115/6 and 115/5
    2 Cable Shrugs: 77/20 and 77/20

    For years now I favored standing presses over seated presses for shoulders. It's much easier on your back and requires tons of core strength. If you try this exercise, start of light because you will not be able to use as much weight as you can when seated. But once you get the hang of it, you will never stop !!!

    No deads as I want to ride tomorrow.

    I have enough trouble with seated db shoulder press. I am getting stronger with standing bb overhead, but my coordination is sadly lacking with dbs.

    LEGS & ABS

    Leg Press: 300/15, 300/12 and 300/10
    SLDL: 65/20 and 65/20
    Glute Kickback: 70/15 and 70/12
    Ab Wheel: 15, 12 and 12

    Today was my first leg workout in months. I take March-October off from training legs because of all the biking I love to do. But I wanted to lift today but everything was done....so I did legs. I took it very very easy with the weights. Even with these light weights, my legs were shaking because I haven't trained them in a long time. I bought an Ab Wheel last night as well and used that for the first time in years. WOW, I forgot how much this thing torches the core !!!

    Great workout today. I've been watching some bodybuilding channels on youtube and I'm really getting that bug again. That's why I trained today...I never train on Sunday. I brought the DB Triceps Ext back into my routine for the first time in years. It felt good. Back in the day I used to use 130 pounds. Looks like I have work to do !!!

    Great lift today. I love training back and hate training biceps. My arms have always been a stubborn body part for me so I need to give them more attention !!!

    Flat tire on the tractor, so cut the grass with the hand mower. 7 miles of walking in just over 3 hours.

    Having not punished myself enough, did a quick 45 minutes (9 miles) on the bicycle afterwards to clear my head.

    Very good workout today. I had a little trouble getting the DB up into position for presses today but other than that, it was great. Nothing feels better than leaving it all out there on the gym floor !!!

    I think I need a different carb source for these early morning training sessions. It was a good workout but I was dragging a little bit.
