@Bigmurph I can only eat shrimp, lobster, crab and scallops. I can’t eat calamari unless I know for a fact it’s fresh (you learn some things working in hog kill plants, like what they make fake calamari out of), I’m not huge on fish, never have been unless it’s farm caught catfish or walleye or northern pike

Worked out both Saturday and Sunday… didn’t log either day, other than my defecit pulls yesterday. Saturday I did a handful of shoulder exercises, meadows 6 ways, face pulls, dumbell overheads, side and front raises, and a little bi’s and tri’s… didn’t really get into the workout, probably because I had to work Saturday morning and that took a toll on me. Sunday we went to the gym a little late, being Mother’s Day and all, I figured I’d let my wife be lazy all morning. Like I said, did defecit pulls from a 2” deficit, worked up to 350x3x5, nothing too crazy, just wanted to really feel the weight, then I finished with back lunges, step downs, 1 leg RDL’s with a high knee, banded monster walks, single leg extensions and single leg ham curls.
It was kind of a strange weekend, my wife and our oldest daughter haven’t spoken since before Christmas, and much to my wife’s surprise our oldest reached out to her yesterday to
Wish her a happy Mother’s Day. Our middle daughter brought my wife a card with a note that looked more like a novel written in it, we’ve had LOTS of issues with her over the years, she went as far as to sue us for college tuition, but she’s changed now that she’s a little older and a little less entitled, her card brought my wife to tears and it was pretty much over for the day after that…

Did upper body push last night, utilized barbells for the first time in 6 weeks. Football Bar flat Pin Press, with pins set 1” above my body, flat back with no arch. These felt good, I didn’t get crazy, 175 x8 x4, barbell incline bench after that, once again just trying to feel my way back into it, I did a middle grip, 135x10 x8, and really concentrated on utilizing my lats to help push. Shoulder and biceps tendon got a little angry on this, which is why I stopped at 8 sets rather than 10. Finished up with some flat DB presses, along with DB side raises, v bar pushdowns, hammer curls and calves, yes, calves!
All in all, I see it as a success, I beleive in 2 weeks I will be ready to jump back into a little more serious and structured training, as long as I take my time and try to focus on what’s weak and what’s ailing me.
