I'll be honest...the jist of that little nugget right there has been the number one "epiphany" I have ever made when it comes to strength. You can always get volume with all sorts of movements in order to grow big muscles. But when it comes to the priority big exercises intensity is job one..that and quality.

Haha I'm glad it made you hungry. I'm going to try to make some sweet potato pancakes now. BB, cooking, and fishing are my three passions right now. Food = goooooood...

Squats - 3X5 275, 275, 285
Leg extensions - 3 drop sets
Leg curls - 3X10 80, 100, 120
I was all over the place with squats. I wasn't as focused as I should have been...it wasn't heavy. My mind wasn't right. I need caffeine before the next time I go to the gym at 6-something in the morning. Since I'm back to my routine, I plan to actually start progressing again. What a novel idea...

^^ isnt that the worst, when you know the bar isnt heavy, but you just mental are screwed before you ever get under it. It happens to us all, the good thing is, next time it wont be like that, I've almost never had two days like that in a row, or even remotely close together.
keep at it ross, looking good ...

Thanks guys. I'm absolutely stoked about getting back into things. I've barely been "maintaining" with what I've been doing lately. The back is stronger, my shoulder can handle lifting some weight if I'm careful & smart, and the knee wasn't so much of a problem I couldn't lift. This is the first week that I've felt good about things in months.

Incline press - 3X5 155, 165, 165
Flat HS press - 3X8 185, 195, 195
Tricep pulldowns
Obviously wasn't thinking when I planned out this workout. Just as well. Looks like I'll be lifting Wed also instead of just Thu & Fri.
