Them little nagging injuries can bug the crap out of you. Keep at it tho, unless you think its serious.

I have always been a cautious lifter but in the past several years I seem to have tons of injuries, so I try my best to find ways to work around it while trying to rehab and heal each injury. Thanks for the encouragement.

TweetSorry for not posting several days. Wed and Thur diet was about the same as all other days.

Training:
Wednesday
Tri-Set
Incline Press 3x5
Dips 3x5
Flat DB Press 3x10

Tri-Set
Pullups - 3x4
Chest Supported Bar Row 3x8
Close parallel grip cable rows 3x15

Upright Row 12,10,8
Side Lateral Raise DB - Dropset

Thursday Workout:
Leg Extensions 6 sets of 10 each set progressively heavier
Lying Leg Curls 6 sets of 8 each set progressively heavier

Pistol Squats 5x5

In Place Lunges 3x10
Seated Leg Curl 3x8

Cable Pull-throughs 15,12,10
Tabata Method on Recumbant bike (4min)
Core Work

Friday:
Waist hasn't gone done a lot. Maybe 1/4 to 1/2 inch.

Start Current
Weight 176.6 178
BF% 15.2% 14.6%
Lean Mass 150.2 151.6
Fat Mass 26.4 26.4

So I have put on around 1.5 of muscle but no fat loss. I think my main issues are too many carbs during the weekdays and on weekends my splurges have been too large. I think if I get these two things in check I will see some fat loss and hopefully maintain my lean muscle tissue.

Neck issues are still there...although improving with postural correction drills and rolling with foam roller or tennis ball.
