Chest & Shoulders 5/5/2025

I took the day off yesterday. That was not my plan, but when I woke up I feel overly tried and like I needed some time to recover. I had not had an off day for 2 weeks. Today I felt much better and excited to get back to it.

Here is my workout today ..

  • Incline smith bench: 3 sets to failure with one total fail. The incline was more than the last few smith press days and it felt super good.
  • True chest press: 2 sets to failure+.
  • Peck Deck: 1 set to failure+.
  • Myo-reps for cable decline fly: I did 7 sets (yes, 7). 30 second rest for each set to failure. Lots of long holds and squeezing. Amazing.
  • Reverse fly (peck deck): 3 sets to failure+.
  • True side laterals. 3 sets to failure+.
  • HIIT Bike sprints 8 reps.
  • Elliptical for 13 minutes.

My chest pump was amazing and hung on for a long time. That finisher really toasted my pecs. The delt work was good, but I didn't have anything left for overhead pressing.

My food intake yesterday:

  • Pre walking: I had serving of yogurt with a scoop of meal replacment mix (HLTH Code). Post cardio I had a double serving of yogurt.
  • Meal 1 was oz of salmon and 4 eggs (2 duck eggs) I added a square of chocolate. I added a slice of extra sharp white cheddar cheese.
  • Meal 2 was 10 oz of bison, 4 eggs (2 ducks eggs) and a slice of cheese.
  • Meal 3 was 10 oz of ground beef, eggs (no duck eggs this time) and a slice of cheese.
  • About 2.5 hours before bed I had a serving of yogurt with a scoop of protein.

My weight this morning was 183.5 pounds. Step count yesterday was 11,062 steps.
