Chest & Shoulders 6/27/2025

We crushed another chest & shouder workout today. The pump is still going hours later. I think chest day is Dereks (@lifting2recover) favorite. I love it but legs are my fav. Let's get back to this workout:

  • Smith machine low incline press: 3 sets to failure. This felt amazing .. on the 3rd set I went a little lighter and focused on a pause at the bottom and a hard squeeze to lift the weight. Wow.
  • Incline DB bench: 2 sets to failure with partials.
  • True seated chest press: 2 sets to failure with partials.
  • Pec Deck: 2 sets to failure with partials.
  • Superset: Cable fly then cable press. 1 set to failure.
  • Seated hammer OH Press: 2 sets to failure.
  • Cable side laterals. 2 sets to failure with paritials.
  • True side lateral machine: 2 sets to failure with partials.
  • Sleed HIIT sprints: 8 reps.
  • Elliptical for 12 minutes.

We will try to make the next chest even better ... that wil not be easy but it is always the goal.

The macros for the yesterday:

  • Calories: 3376
  • Protein: 230g
  • Carbs: 35g (much better but taking it lower)
  • Fat: 263g

My weight this morning was 183.1 pounds. It has been droping so I am increasing my intake.

My step count yesterday was only 17,263.
