StereoBit

Been following this routine for a couple weeks now, getting back into the gym after a couple years off. My main goal is upper body focused (chest and arms), less so lower body (mostly because I have a knee injury). Day 1-2 Im doing higher weights, lower reps, Day 3-4 Im doing lower weights but higher reps. And then after each workout I do 25 min cardio on the stationary bike.

Day 1 (Lower Body - Strength)	Sets
Hack squat machine	3x5
Romanian deadlift	3x5
Lunge (Dumbbells)	3x8
Cardio bike	25 min
Day 2 (Upper Body - Strength)
Bench press (barbell)	3x5
Seated cable row	3x5
Overhead press	2x8
Lat pulldown	2x8
Butterfly pec deck	3x15
Triceps rope pushd

I injured my knee so anything lower body (squat, etc) seems to aggravate it. So I decided I'd try to program a routine for myself. I've trained consistently for 1+ year in the past, but took a long hiatus after injury. I've been in the gym for about 2.5 months now doing a different program, but I want to do more volume.

How does this look?

Day 1
Machine Chest Press - 3 sets
Dumbbell incline Press - 3 sets
Leg Press - 3 sets
Dumbbell curls - 3 sets
Hammer curls - 3 sets
Face pulls - 3 sets

Day 2
Lat pulldown - 3 sets
Seated cable row - 3 sets
Dumbbell row - 3 sets
Triceps rope pushdown - 3 sets
Overhead dumbbell triceps extension - 3 sets

Day 3
Dumbbell

I injured my knee so anything lower body (squat, etc) seems to aggravate it. So I decided I'd try to program a routine for myself. I've trained consistently for 1+ year in the past, but I've been doing this program now for about 2 weeks. Thoughts?

Day 1
Machine Chest Press - 3 sets
Dumbbell incline Press - 3 sets
Leg Press - 3 sets
Dumbbell curls - 3 sets
Hammer curls - 3 sets
Face pulls - 3 sets

Day 2
Lat pulldown - 3 sets
Seated cable row - 3 sets
Dumbbell row - 3 sets
Triceps rope pushdown - 3 sets
Overhead dumbbell triceps extension - 3 sets

Day 3
Dumbbell incline press - 3 sets
Pec deck - 3 sets
Cable bicep curl - 3 sets
Preacher bar curl -

I had a knee injury so doing anything lower body (squats, deadlifts, etc) tends to aggravate it, so I decided I dont wanna really do anything lower body aside from 9 lower body sets on Day 4.

I've been doing this program for about 3 weeks now. Any suggestions?

I reached out to my ISP and they told me that everything looks completely fine on their end in terms of my service to my modem (signal strength and ping tests good).

But I get so many random ping spikes every couple 2-10 seconds, confirmed by use of ping tests in command prompt. And I think the PingPlotter results also clearly reflect this as well.

At the end of my rope here, desperately trying to figure out whats going on with my internet service. At this point Im assuming that the issue is internal wiring in my apartment or something?

Any and all help is much apprecited.

I live in an apartment complex, and I've been a Teksavvy customer for something like...10+ years?
Always have been great. And I've been living at my current address for about 5 years now with no problems...but suddenly, during the last 5 months I've started to experience wildly inconsistent connection issues. Like insanely bad issues. Wild swings in ping and connection stability. Im talking going from 20ms ping to like 200ms in 1 second. It makes it impossible for me to play online games at all with friends due to how bad the swings in ping will be one second to the next.

For example, here is a real time graph of my network while in a game like POE 2:

Due to severe dental anxiety because freezing NEVER works for me. No matter how many needles they stick in my face, I still feel everything, and some dentists have straight up accused me of overreacting, even with tears streaming down my face in pain.

Anyway, it hurts and Im terrified Im going to get an infection thats gonna go to my brain and kill me. I have an appointment on Sunday, but I assume that this tooth needs to be pulled? Im certainly not going to go with a root canal due to previous painful experience and hell during one.

I want to buy a specific computer part (graphics card). I have a couple people willing to sell to me but none are local, so they'd have to ship.

All sellers are okay with using PayPal Goods and Services...but I'm just thinking here, is there ANYWAY I can get scammed by using PayPal Goods and Services buyer protection? I've never used it before. It seems straightforward, I send the money, PayPal holds it, seller ships the item, and then funds are released once I've confirmed the item is received and is as described.

Is there anything I'm missing here? I have no intention of following any instructions or requests the seller may have once the payment is made. So I'm not going to allow myself
