    Endurance stuff the day after legs feels horrible while doing it, but it really seems to help my legs stretch out and recover. It sounds backwards, but I get over the leg day DOMS a lot more quickly like this.

      I honestly added a couple of reps to most of this, but don't remember what it was. Everything felt stronger than last week, but I didn't feel ready to push weight up yet. A couple of these will be going up next time, methinks.

            Yeah, I tried 385 after my first 365, but it didn't work out. I'm making sure to keep my form in check, and I wish I would just be able to knock out 405 again, but I'm happy with slow growth. It's sorta what I'm pushing for.

              Fast results=fake results. Slow growth is good. Im in the same position you are

                Exactly. I mean, if I added ten pounds to every lift every week, where would I have to go in a year?

                Also, since I started lifting as part of just getting myself healthy, a big part of doing it is feeling good, and that's also a lot of how I evaluate where I am. For me, there is an improvement if I lift the same weight/reps as last time, but I feel "stronger" through it. It may not show on paper, but I'm still closer to slipping that next plate on the bar.

                  Cardio was a little low today, but I guess it's to be expected. I normally don't do much on Sundays, but yesterday my sister actually wanted to do some stuff, so we did some cardio...outside...taking into account that Charlotte also hit a record high temperature yesterday - 101 and ridiculously humid...not sure what the heat index was. But anyway, I worked myself hard (I have a hard time taking it easy) and probably dropped about a gallon of sweat.

                      Today was a perfect example of the fact that you can't have a good workout every time. I absolutely hate it when I feel exhausted during every exercise and come out with numbers that are not nearly what I was hoping for. Oh well, I guess. I'll feel better when I have something else to think about.

                          With the way cardio has felt this week, I think the stuff I did on Sunday with my sister has stuck with my legs a lot. I'm guessing it's probably due to the fact that I don't usually do any higher impact cardio, and running on asphalt is definitely different on the joints and such. Whatever. It was great to work out with my ster a little bit.

                          Anyway...

                            Deads felt great today. I may have been able to go another at the top, but decided not to. Upright rows felt really strong - focused on a strong trap contraction at the top.

                            P.S.: I wish my biceps would grow/get stronger more quickly...lol...

                                Squats felt good...will be at least trying to push it up next time.
