XFatMan’s Strength Journey

I usually run on the streets with very little traffic. It's often uphills as I live in a mountainous areaa.
 
The rows, dumbbell curls and triceps extensions were done very lightly. I need time before I can safely add weight on these.

My cardio workouts need a little adjusting so as to give growth a chance. There will be quite a reduction. Otherwise I won't be able to eat all the food it takes to add some mass.

Yup. It's not easy to gain weight when doing heavy cardio.

Workout, Oct. 7 (15 minutes)
2400 m @ Easy Pace - Details

Looked like there was some maintenance going on yesterday, and I always got an error message from the database. That's why yesterday's workout comes today.
 
My shoulder hurt during the bench press on Monday, and I got a stiff neck, too. I was pretty afraid to bench again, even more so with a weight with which I am going to hit my post-surgery best next week. I suppose the stiff neck comes from the lack of range of motion in my left scapula. I have started some rear deltoid exercises and it seems to be getting better.

Let me say a few words about today’s workout. It was simply COOL! The bench press was surprising. I loaded the weight for three reps, and the reps came out so easy that I started laughing. Next week is the week for my post-surgery bests. The bench press will be a piece of cake. I never thought I would one day look forward to doing the bench press as it has always been my least favorite exercise.
