Leg day on a Saturday!!
It is funny, if you go to a gym on Saturday's, you rarely see anyone doing legs. So you have acess to all the leg equipment without having to wait. Most folks like to to more "show" muscles on Saturdays, I guess for obvious reasons. Anyway, it was...

Back/Shoulders
Today was back/shoulders. My second week prioritizing back rather than shoulders. Have been transitioning slowly to a more rep/shock oriented workout also from the last 6 weeks which have been strictly power. Nice burn today, really hit the back w...

Yesterdays chest workout
Been "lacking" on chest day for the "feel", doing it immediately following a brutal leg day. I began to feel I maybe wasn't fully recovered from the leg day, been setting personal records on legs, and pushing things very hard. Tough to hit another...

Back/Shoulders
Well, today was shoulder/back day. I have been prioritizing shoulders for the last 6 weeks, so now I switch to back as priority. I really thought my shoulder workout would suffer a dropoff, as I just recently reached some new highs, but did not at...

Rest and cardio
A much needed rest day today....did stop and do some cardio on the way to work though. Still do want to keep up with my cardiovascular work. Besides, if your heart is neglected, all the muscles in the world will soon be gone.

Triceps/biceps
Pretty good arm workout today...still feel it now. Looking for some growth out of today's workout for some reason, just kind of "feel" it. Next week will be drop back week, I have been doing arms with more frequency and to failure for 4 weeks now,...

Shoulders/back
Today was shoulders and back. Very good, nice on the shoulders, but not as good on the back. Does in no way compare to the burn I had going yesterday on arms! I did set a PR on seated dumbbells though. I was excited about that. I have never done 7...

Hit the cardio again....
Well, as mentioned before, I am trying to keep up with my cadiovascular conditioning I achieved before vacation and during it in the mountains hiking. I am also on a bit of a cut, so this is aiding in my caloric deficit as well.

Yesterday's leg workout
Good leg workout, hit a new personal high on the leg press. Was going to squat today, but forgot my belt, and this gym does not have any "community" belts. So, I was dissapointed, but really took it out on the leg press in a pretty big way. Also t...
