How are you doing eh? + vibes back at you HiDn.

Doing better. I was miserable earlier in the week. My monthly cycle I guess.
Went to the gym yesterday aft. Burned 500 cals on ellipt. machine. Hopefully do weights tonight, but I have 2 appointments, so I'm not sure I'll fit it in.
Eating well, but I haven't been tracking , busy, busy.

Don't stop! Don't stop!
I do my light shoulder stuff in the morning. Rehab & rotator strengthening. Sometimes ab stuff.
Man, I don't know how I get so busy, yet nothing seems to be getting done, LOL.

I've noticed I have a propensity to strive for higher weights & lower reps, so I'm gonna start a 5X5 in the next week or 2. Gotta read up on it first. I know it's hard to believe, a man reading instructions, LOL.

15min Xtrainer, level 6, 225cals.
15 min treadmill, 1.5 miles, HR to 142, 220cals

LOL, trying to act evolved.
The way I'm going it'll prolly be next week sometime. Not enough hrs in the day. But I'm sure I don't have to tell you that, Mrs Multitasker.

OK, today's workout. This is the same one I was sick to last week.
Squats: 10X145, 10X225, 5X295, 10X215.
BB Shrugs: 15X90, 15X125, 11X170, 15X130.
Calf Raises: 15X115, 15X175, 10X235, 15X185.
Front Raises: 15X10, 12X20, 7X25, 10X20.
Bent Over Laterals: 15X15, 12X25, 7.5X30, 10X25. These 3 were slooooow.
Standing Laterals: 15X10, 12X12, 7.5X20, 9X15.

OK, one question about the shrugs. I just started doing BB shrugs. I couldn't get enough with my 80lb D.B.s. When I do the lift, I have to lean forwards slightly so the bar doesn't drag too much on my legs. It doesn't seem to affect my back, but, will this be a problem?

I don't know if leaning forward is a good idea, doesn't that then effect the back of your neck?
