Chest & Shoulders

I was thinking about my lifting experinece this morning. It has been about 30 years since I started. I was very unorganized when I started. I had no idea what I was doing. Over time I have worked out at home and in comerciail gyms around the world. I have tried all kinds of training protocols. Success in lifting boils down to consistency, hard work, progression of muscle tension, sleeping well, and eating enouhg food to grow. 30 years later I still make progress .. and I feel amazing.

Today was chest and shoulders. We killed it. @lifting2recover had a great bench today too. My legs are sore from yesterday but I felt good. Let's get to this workout:

  • Machine Incline press: 3 sets to failure with partials.
  • Incline cable bench: 3 sets to failure with partials.
  • True seated chest press: 3 sets to failure with partials.
  • Incline cable fly superseted with pumping chest press. 3 sets to failure.
  • Hammer Strengh OH press: 3 sets to failure plus partials.
  • True side lateral machine: 3 sets to failure with partials.
  • Sleed HIIT sprints: 8 reps.
  • Elliptical for 12 minutes.

We were super happy with this workout. Yes, the pump was amazing .. but the muscles sure Felt totally stimulated.

The macros for the yesterday:

  • Calories: 3496
  • Protein: 234g
  • Carbs: 41g (much better but taking it lower)
  • Fat: 270g

My weight this morning was 183.4 and fat was 16.5 pounds. Looks like I need more food.

My step count yesterday was only 18,879.
