Today was arms/chest day so I managed to do a bit more as my injured arm is coming along nicely.
Workout:
Stretches/calisthenics: 15 min
Side and front laterals: 10-15-20 for 8 reps (both arms). Felt some pain but wasn't major as wore elbow sleeve on left arm for support.
DB curls 5-10-15 for 10 reps (injured arm). 25-35-45 for right arm for 8 reps each.
Hammer curls: 5-10-15 (left arm) 10 reps. 15-25-35 right arm for 8 reps.
Triceps pushdowns: 20-40-60-80 for 8. Did not feel pain with these.
Facepulls: 15-30-50-60 for 8. Went well.
Bent over rear delt flyes: 10-15-20 for 8. Minor pain but OK.
OK felt daring so I attempted flat bb bench
Bar-65-95-135-185 for 8 Major pain at 225lb attempt so stopped there on that.
Incline bb press: bar-65-95-135-185 for 8. Pretty good!
Seated smith machine ohp: bar-95-105-135 for 8 got 3 at 135 before pain set in.
Seated cable rows: 45-75-105-135 for 10. Was getting warmed up but had to wrap up.
Done.
Not too shabby for 10 days post injury. Hopefully more progress on Friday.

2/8/2017:
Pinned 1cc Test E 250.
Today was legs and didn't have a lot of time due to work.
Legs:
Stretches/Light Calisthenics: 15 min
Leg extensions: 85-125-165-225 for 8 and got 5 at 225.
Leg Curls: 75-105-165-205 for 8 got 6 at 205.
Goodmornings: 65-95-135-155 for 8.
Standing Calf Raises: 80-160-240-320 for 8.

All in all not too shabby, feeling much better this time around and there's signs my lung issues are fading slowly but surely so there's hope that I can still make a go of this.

Today was a work at home day due to snowstorm. After getting done with work, spent 2 hrs shoveling snow. A workout in itself!

Some more updates that I forgot to post.
2/10/2017:
Pinned 1cc Test E 250
As I wasn't able to go to the gym due to bad weather and the cold, I instead have done snow shoveling and brisk walks after I got home from work.
2/11/2017:
Ate full breakfast of 3 eggs, toast with PB and some yogurt.
Went to the gym today and did chest/arms:
Stretches/Calisthenics: 15 min
Side and front laterals: 10-15-20lb for 8. Left arm felt a good bit better today.
Bent over rear delt flyes: 10-20-30lbs for 8.
Facepulls: 20-40-60lb for 10.
Triceps pushdowns: 40-60-80-100 for 2 sets 8 each. Not bad here!
Machine curls: 10-20-30 for 12 slow reps. Pain in left bicep (wore elbow band) was much less so got something done
cable flyes: 20-30-40 for 8 slow reps.
Barbell bench: bar-95-135-185-225 for 8. Got 3 at 225 due to pain.
Plate loaded incline machine press: 95-135-185 for 8. Went smooth!
Seated cable rows: 60-75-90-140 for 10.
Seated Military Press: 60-90-130 for 10 slow reps for 2 sets.
Lat pulldown: 30-60-90-120 for 8 but got 4 on 120.
Seated Chest Press Machine: 65-100-140 for 9.
Pushups (using handles): 25x2 sets. Positioned handles at a width so not too much load on the biceps.
Bike Ride 10 min.
Sauna (rubbed some Vicks on my upper lip to clear nose): 20 min.
Done.
Overall this was a better workout and my left arm is improving, so that's a good sign. Energy is definitely on the upswing as well so had no problem completing workout

Thanks and I am doing the best I can despite the setbacks. Doing what I can to rehab my strained biceps and dealing with a lung infection (which I am very close to getting rid of at last!). This first run at my age is gonna be quite a learning experience!

I get asked about my nick and it came from the days I've done mindless work as a network operations service desk agent. Currently a systems administrator at a hospital and it's almost as mindless lol.

Yes it did impede my breathing somewhat but I managed to soldier on through a workout without collapsing. Got a vaporizer next to my bed and it helped tremendously while I slept.
It was the antibiotics and antivirals I was taking that sapped my energy as well despite drinking some C4.

I am close to getting rid of it and then my energy should rise again so I can go set more PR's as the Test has kicked in
My infection started out as a cold that got really bad and the cough wouldn't go away, plus I had a lot of junk in my lungs according to my doc.

No never had, but had smoked weed a lot when I was a college student as it helped me while I was battling depression.

2/13/2017:
OK today I did arms/chest AGAIN as my schedule last week got wacked due to weather and health issues, and also wanted to get my arms back up to snuff as they been lagging since injuring my left arm 2 weeks ago.
As I took today off from work as there was no one to go with my mother to get an MRI done for back surgery eval (she was scared as hell to go herself) so I went, and as that went well I had an opportunity to go to the gym earlier today and had a bit more time.
Ate nice breakfast today at a diner near the hospital my mom went to for appt. Omelet with home fries and wheat toast and orange juice.
So here's what I did today:
Stationary bike ride: 8 min (to warm up cold muscles ready to stretch)
Stretching/foam rolling: 15 min.
Side/front laterals: 10-15-20lbs for 2 sets 8 reps each. Not as much pain today doing these so that's good.
Seated curls: 10lbs-20-35 for 2 sets 8 reps each. Now getting somewhere!
Triceps pushdowns: 40-60-80-100 (BOOM!) for 8 reps.
Facepulls: 20-40-60 for 2 sets 8 reps.
Upright cable rows (low pulley): 10-20-40-60 for 8. Got 2 at 60lbs due to pain but better than before!
Bench: bar-95-135-185-225 for 8. Got 5 at 225. Much better progress so satisfied.
Incline press: Bar-95-135-185-225. Got just 1 at 225lbs due to left arm crumpling up due to pain. At least this was better than before so there's progress.
Plate-loaded dip machine: bw-bw+45 bw+65 for 2 sets 8 reps.
Seated cable rows: 75-105-145-175 for 10 reps each. Not bad!
Seated smith machine OHP: bar-95-135-155 (PR) for 8 got 3 at 155. Not much pain as wore sleeve for this.
Pushups: 40
Bike Ride: 10 min
Done! Was a bit whipped but feel great.

Today was legs and as I was short on time kept it simple:
Stationary Bike: 8 min to warm up.
Stretches/calisthenics: 10
Leg extension: 85-145-205-245 for 8 got 4 at 245.
Leg Curl: 85-125-165-205 for 8.
Plate loaded Back Extensions: 125-185-225 for 10.
Roman Chair leg raises: 20
Standing Calf Raises: 140-220-300 for 10 (feeling the burrrrn!)
Good mornings: bar-95-135-155-170 (PR) for 8 got 2 at 170.
RDLs: bar-95-135-225 for 8 got 6 at 225. This is first time really doing these and the weight felt light. Didn't do more as not to risk injury.
Barbell Squat: 135-185-225-275 for 5 got 2 at 275 as right leg was cramping badly. Was going to attempt 315 (with spotter) but pumps were getting bad.
Quick bike ride.
Done.
Overall not too shabby a workout but today felt kinda blah but pressed on. As it was crowded tonight I had to kind of rush. Left arm was cramping but was able to hold the bar for squat, goodmornings and RDLs.

Triceps pushdowns: 30-50-70-90 for 8 reps 2 sets each. Awesome!

Overall a good workout with my left arm strength and stability improving but at end felt rather ill so called it a night. Took hot shower and was barely able to eat but after a good nights sleep felt a lot better and really hungry this morning. Think by the end of next week my left arm should be stable enough to start packing it on as lost enough time because of the injury.
Didn't go to the gym 2/18 because of family event, so will go Sunday.
