What have you been doing lately for your own fitness? Try out any new programs or exercises? Have any questions for others about your training? Want to vent about poor behavior in the gym? Started a new diet or have a new recipe you want to share? Anything else health and wellness related?

    I got sick and then had a loss in the family so I was out of it for basically all of Nov, Dec, Jan. I'm trying to get back to a three day weekly exercise routine + weekend activities. Submitting...

    I got sick and then had a loss in the family so I was out of it for basically all of Nov, Dec, Jan. I'm trying to get back to a three day weekly exercise routine + weekend activities. Submitting for commentary from the community...

    • Tuesdays: Pull days
      • Deadlift (5/3/1)
      • Pullups (switch between military grip, parallel grip, outward grip, reverse grip each week)
      • Upper back (dumbell rows or barbell rows)
      • Some kind of bicep curls (for the vanity)
      • Weighted RDL
    • Wednesdays:
      • ride bike or peloton (waiting on a knee surgery, can't really do squats at the moment)
      • side lunges and other knee stuff my physical therapist gave me
    • Thursdays: push days
      • Flat bench (5/3/1)
      • Weighted dips
      • Incline or decline dumbell bench
      • Some kind of tricep extension
      • Box jumps or step ups or more lunges

    Then weekends are hiking, biking, skiing, something like that. My goals used to be 300/400/500 in bench/squat/dead but I don't think that's attainable any more (especially without really being able to do heavy squats at all), so I need to figure something else out. Maybe would like to try to get more lean for the summer bod while maintaining strength. Partial ACL and patellar tendon reconstruction surgery is likely happening in September.
