Back squat 5 x 5 @ 95, 95, 85, 65, 65

I also started supplements today: creatine, glutamine, multi-vitamin, pre-workout, whey protein, and BCAAs.

Bench press 5 x 5 @ 95, 100, 105, 110, 95

Incline press 5 x 5 @ 65, 75, 85, 95, 105

Shoulder press 3 x 10 @ 45, 55, 60

Made a gross protein shake that was enormous and worse than drinking the powder in just water. Live and learn.

What’s wrong with powder in water?

Actually it was probably the unflavored BCAAs that made it taste so bad
