Planned on doing dips/pulldowns but in the bathroom saw my eyes were wildly bloodshot. Felt fine otherwise, just weak probably due to not being fully recovered after Fridays deadlift-a-thon. Didn’t wanna risk a problem & was already spent so I just called it a day. Maybe chalk dust? Sweat? The chemdog I burned 20min bfore gym? My 1scoop o’preworkout?? Meh tomorrow is another day & that day is focused on squats.

A little better than yesterday, but I think it’s time to deload & start to force feed a bit. Deadlift is still creeping up but ohp & squat have plateaued with my squat possibly regressing.

Elliptical, BW squats 100lb DB goblets hang from square Smith machine frame & do scap pullups & “dubbyas” back raises

Ifbb girl is in the squat rack with 185 on & asks me to spot her for her last set of 195. Ummmmmm yes??. Turns out she’s super nice & has super nice things to say about me. She gets 195 x4 & 3more less than 90sec later. Respect.

35 pushups

Did almost exactly what I did last week on upper body day lol.

Elliptical shoulders pushups

Incline DB presses 50s x10
Bench supp’d DB rows 85 x10
50s x10

60s/110 worked on slow eccentrics, full ROM for the presses & mmc with my lats + not cheating for the rows. All press sets neglect to count the initial rep to get DB’s up but include an ass up ugly rep at the end.

Spent 3days down at Wildwood on the joisey shore. Yuge beach. Found a pull-up bar/dip station the last day (Wildwood crest). 3sets ea back to back to back for that pump. Sunburned the tops of my feet :footprints:

Way better than sunburning the bottom of your feet… Just trust me on this one!

Oh I’ve been there CL. As an o35 I tan a lil but in my youth I used to burn baby burn. Hit the beach our second day at ~1230 & the sand was burning my feet. Had to make the 1/4mile trek in sneakers like a Philly tourist haha.

Felt like shit today before gym, I was stuck in my own head & pretty miserable. Kicked around the idea of calling out but fukk that, I always feel better after the gym even if I miss reps.

Upper body day. Ate a 13-1400cal breakfast, took 1/2dose of a caffeinated b-vitamin (instead of my usual 1/4) & wore a broscience shirt with the sleeves cut off. Let’s get this pump.

Shoulder circles, DB moves, dislocates, fupu’s.

DB rows off rack 85 x 10?12? Whatever

20lb DB curls x12 was warming up for bicep/tricep supaset.

Did 1 set of 10 seated high incline cable overhead triceps extensions. Felt both elbows do odd things so shut it down. Looking kinda good with a tan & a pump in a sleeveless. Maybe I’ll get some cheater lighting pics soon. Waking up 188-190 as of last week on my light scale & 192-193 on my gf’s scale
