Chest & Shoulders 6/2/2025

This was a chest & shoulder day that came with great intensity and decent volume. Here is the full breakdown:

  • Incline machine chest press: 3 sets to failure+. I did a drop for the last set.
  • Incline DB press: 2 sets to failure+. I am getting really good range of motion on thsse. Going lighter here has been really good for my shoulder health.
  • Hammer seated chest press: 2 sets to failure+.
  • Cable fly to press: 3 sets to failure+. I went to failure+ then moved to a chest press to failure+.
  • cable crossing side laterals: 3 sets to failure+.
  • cable rev fly: 3 sets to failure+. We are going to move these to back to and see how that feels.
  • Hammer OH press: 2 sets to failure+.
  • Bike sprints / HIIT: 8 reps.
  • Elliptical for 13 minutes.

Yes, this resulted in a great pump. Derick and I both felt the pump and loved this workout.

My meals yesterday:

  • Pre workokut: I had serving of yogurt with 24g of blueberries and 7g of protein powder (Equip).
  • Meal 1 was 147g of wild caught salmon, 10g of bison liver, 15g of oysters, butter, tallow, 43g of avocado and 4 eggs
  • Meal 2 was 120g of ground bison, 4 eggs (1 duck, 1 goose, and 2 chicken egg), butter and tallow.
  • Meal 3 was a 106g of ground bison, 2 eggs, yogurt, dark chocolate (1 square), a slice of cheese, butter and tallow.

The macros for the day:

  • Calories: 2918 (increased today .. just to slow down the weight loss)
  • Protein: 227g (still higher than the target)
  • Carbs: 48g (above target)
  • Fat: 207g (just belore lower end of traget).

My protein was a little high today but this worked. I was tryihg to refuel after the killer leg workout.

My weight this morning was 182.4 pounds. Fat was up today .. scale noise at 18.2. Step count yesterday was 16,935.
