Checking In (Month 9?)

So here's the scoop... nothing too exciting.

1) I've managed to find a sustainable system for my workouts. I go to the gym right after work every Tuesday and Thursday, and do the same routine as previously outlined. I'm up to 8 pound weights, and as a whole feel much more fit than before. As a whole I am injured less and more active on a regular basis. I try to exercise both Saturday and Sunday as well (by swimming or another activity).

2) Activities such as bike riding and paintball are feasible and I have been playing regularly.

I have also added new elements to my routine, including a run at the end of each day:

Tuesday:
- Superset: Bicep Curls (2x10) + "Lawnmower" Rows (2x10) - 15 lb dumbells
- One arm dumbell military presses - 15 lbs (need to move up)
- Tricep Pull-Downs (2x10) - 70 lbs
- Pull-Downs (2x10) - 80 lbs
- Pushups (15 reps, 20 reps)
- Planks (2x)

Thursday:
- Butt-Burners (yeah, yeah... 2x10) - 4 lbs
- Rows (new, weight not yet established)
- Pushups (15 reps, 20 reps)
- Planks (2x)

Since I'm finally sustaining a workout without hurting anything, I'm not totally solid on what to do each day (besides the Physical Therapy routine). Tuesday is solid. Thursday is in construction. I'm currently lacking a mid-back exercise like rows and upper pec exercises. But everything will be added slowly and carefully. Yes. I actually learned my lesson.

When I can comfortably use 10 lb dumbells for my physical therapy routine and can comfortably do 20 pushups per set I will consider new exercises such as Dumbell Bench Press and light Dead Lifts. I look forward to lifting more normally... and hope I don't screw this up again :)
