So worth noting I have severe spinal issues other than the torn meniscus. I have pinched nerves in the neck and back, severe scoliosis, degenerative disc disease, and the natural curvature of my spine has straightened over the years. Much of this from heavy lifting and some from MMA. So I'm very careful about form and pay attention to body signals. Only noting this because there's no excuse to not workout and the workouts keep my moving despite the injuries.

This morning was 8 sets of dips focused on chest not Tris.
Two tri-sets of pushups

Was gonna do three tei sets but felt a twinge, remember I'm 270#

Dumbbell pullovers 2 sets, haven't done them in years...

Today I was sore and did just biceps in the morning. 3 progressive weight warmups on bb curls then I pyramid the weight up for five sets till I got to singles . So first working set of 12 kept increasing weight til I hit a single.

Next was alternate dumbbell curls for five sets. High reps.

Then stretch concentration curls-two drop sets one double drop and one triple drop.

Then 3 sets of reverse barbell curls.

This afternoon I did some explosive medicine ball work. My ball is a a 30# ball. Did not push it just hitting them really fast twitch explosive fibers.

When I want to push medicine ball work, I do medicine ball burpee throws with my 33 year old son.

NOTE* When I do medicine ball throws I simulate punches and switch hands every rep, from a Fighting stance so it's a jab then it's a cross... Really great exercise for fighters.

Nice bro

So I actually lost track of the days. It was supposed to be chest today. I did legs and core instead. Remember I'm coming off therapy from a torn meniscus taking it easy. Working legs and core twice a week but not pushing either day hard. As it's way to rough on me.


Air squats as a warm up-3 sets narrow stance.

Wide stance overhead squats with dumbbells 4 sets low reps (2-3)

Alt dumbbell deadlifts 2 sets of 2

Kettlebell swing 3 sets of twenty

Alternate knee raises done on my fighting stance knees to shoulders paying attention to defensive placement in a mirror. 3 sets-40,30,30

Side leg raises to shoulders without setting the foot down. One set of ten per side. (Done slow enough to not use momentum)

Front straight leg raises done to eyes. One set of ten per side. (Against slow)

Last three exercises I do for kicks and balance as much as core.

@JCE solid work right here bro!

Ty Sir. All about function for me. Just had my 33 year old son laid out on the ground for medicine ball work .. and that was my second workout of the day.

I'm 270# bro I'm definitely not undereating. Did you see my morning protein intake by itself? I posted a few days ago.

I look at all the logs bro but miss posts of course
probably missed that one my bad
and 270 is a good weight to drop from too, but you can eat clean and shred up too btw high volume food @JCE

@JCE dips is perfect, real pump on the chest bro
saw you 270 but have you done any fasting?

 

[JCE]

Man I only fast on Yom Kippur lol if you know what that is. I will drop soon, I've been as high as upper 280:s before dropping weight. Dropped down to 215 doing a lot of running and MMA. Was a really nice look but lost too much muscle I prefer 240ish
