3 month report -- exercise program

Overview

• Finally on split schedule.  The weight lifting routine is ordered so that just about anywhere is a reasonable split point.  In practice, the split point is close to when the bench press series ends (now have: flat, decline, and 3 inclined bench press/fly supersets).
• I ended up taking off three weeks outright; came down with something on the 18th (2 days after the split workout Jan 15th/16th).  Ten days under six hours/night of sleep, then started catching up on the 29th.  Restart date is Feb 5th.
• I'm not sure whether the 3 week hiatus led to some deconditioning, or whether estimating 1 rep maxima from an AMRAP of 30 repetitions is just unreliable.  Both the second and third incline bench press/fly supersets (45 degree and 60 degree incline, respectively) were failures -- I ended up taking a pound off the third set and did not attempt the intended 4th set, as the left shoulder simply could not keep up; both the 2nd and 3rd sets of these inclined bench press/flys were grinders  The split session should resume with the shoulder press.
• As I don't think I really can afford to gain a pound of fat for each pound of muscle, I'm having to add in explicit aerobics.  Since I'm in a rehabilitation strength range, I don't expect to measurably slow down strength gains by doing this.
•  FitnessBlender has a decent (high volume) Youtube channel; the login on the their domain mainly provides a search index to their Youtube videos.  They mention that they're having new features built out for their site, so there is some intention to make their site provide reasonably compelling features.  Right now the search feature is the only thing making their site more competitive than collating exercise videos in a playlist.
