Barbell Curls -Ez-curl 1x100x10, 2x100x8
Tricep Pushdowns - 3x8x220lbs

Great to be back with no lost strength after the sickness. I tried going earlier in the week for day 1, and couldn't get past 230 in squats for 1 rep because my whole body ached..I got home and found out I still had a 101 temp that day. So it was a relief to get back to where I left off without losing a lot of strength. Back on schedule with Ricanx99 also, so that helped. Day 1 shall be destroyed..

Yea buddy! It was GREAT to see you that you were right on track even after being sick as you were. Squats are going up nice and smooth still... even deep into your PRs and mine. Day 3 of this week is gonna be sick... I can't WAIT! Great job on all your lifts!

Squats - 5x5 – 165x5, 200x5, 235x5, 270x5, 305x5
Inclines - 5x5 - 135x5, 155x5, 175x5, 195x5, 215x5

Behind Neck Pulldowns - 3x140x8

Nice to get the weight back and moving in the right direction after being sick. My day 2 I'll be subbing flats back in, as my shoulder is feeling a ton better, i'll start out relatively low and work up from there again, hopefully passing my 260x5 PR this time without my shoulder getting killed again. Day 2 tomorrow...

Yea boy... Getting back into it nice and smooth. I'm glad that the fever or whatever you had naggin at you is no longer bothering you. It was tough to go solo last week. Hopefully your shoulder will allow you to blast through your previous 260x5 and get up way past it! Good job on all your lifts for Day 1.

Good job today sir... It was a rough workout but glad to see that you will continue to progress. I gotta re-hit 340x5 for continuous reps. Can't pause again... Day 3 is gonna be sweet.

Thanks JPT, I started out VERY low on the seated presses at 145lbs, so those won't bother me until I'm up around 185lbs or so...but the shoulder is doing great, hasn't given me a bit of pain on any exercise, and I've even thrown in some light high rep sets of flats, and low heavy sets in the past 2 weeks and it has not been bothered at all. I'm going to put them back in for day 3 tomorrow, and see how they do with a full days work...
