Weight 225

Probably not a legit 225, I normally take a pre-game dump but didn't have time this morning. Either way nice to see bigger numbers on the scale.

triangle tricep pushdowns - three pause sets
overhead cable pulls - three sets
 
Hows the recovery you at 100% yet bro?

I'd say back to 100% on legs, back, 95% on arms, shoulders and I will have a better guess on chest tomorrow because I've only hit it once since the surgery so far. Pain is minimal though, slightly "sore" on the incisions, especially left side but it's minimized if I wear underarmour...just not a fan of tight shirts still.

Weight 224

Well, going to attribute it at least partially to the decent amount of gear, but chest is probably 90% or better, strength-wise - the only thing I had trouble with was DB flyes.

incline DB press - three drop sets
superset lying leg raise - four sets - 30 reps each
bodyweight chest dips - three sets
superset standing calf raise - four sets

Weight 224

Felt pretty dehydrated this morning, I've been eating plenty so I'm certain the fluctuation is just water. Still gunning for 230, possibly higher since I want to be minimum 215 post-cut.

I think 235 would be safer, including water retention etc.

Mon - arms - 8-12 reps
20min LISS - incline treadmill
hammer bicep curl machine - warmup plus three dropsets - my wrist is still jacked up so I was able to get relatively flat barbell-style curls with the machine, I think it's too late for an xray so just hoping this thing heals eventually
superset hammer crunch machine - four sets - 35x80, 30x100, 25x120, 20x140
rope tricep pushdown - three drop sets - 12x70 + 8x50 + 8x30 each, extra drop on third set
hammer DB curl - three drop sets - 12x40 + 10x30 + 8x20
superset lying leg raise - three sets - 30 reps each
triangle tricep pushdown - two pause sets - 12 + 6 + 4 x 100 each

Sat in the hot tub after...can't believe it took me almost two years to figure out that would be a nice way to end a workout
 
I here the hot tub after I usually head out to the sauna and tub at my gym whenever I have a chance its nice :)
 
Weight 224

I think all the food is taking a toll on my gut...mornings on the shitter are getting less and less enjoyable. Time to add some "fitness fibre" or something.

Tue - legs - 12-15 reps
20mins LISS/HIIT - incline treadmill
seated quad extension - three pause sets
highbar ATG squat - three sets
standing calf raise - two sets
SLDL - three sets
seated calf raise - four pause sets

Skipped: hamstring curl, incline leg press - stomach was bothering me; will try to fit leg press tomorrow on chest day, then deads on back day will take care of hamstrings
 
Lookin good man! Keep it up

How did the chest feel after todays workout?

No complaints whatsoever.

The scar tissue at the incision sites is a bit sore to touch, in general but isn't inhibiting workouts at all - so at the four week post-OP mark I can say I'm very pleased.

I feel it stretch when I do hanging leg raises, for example, but I embrace it since I don't want any restriction eventually.

Pictures to follow soon - maybe post-delt workout Friday would be a good time.
