Aside from the beginning of this week to start off piss poor, today’s gym session was exceptional. I don’t have any logical reason why, but rather I felt myself improving and going on to heavier weight. It felt great, I felt great and I was happy about my progress (which most likely fed into my workout). I was reluctant when I decided to leave, thinking to myself I could go for a couple of sets of concentration curls or some ab exercise. I could continue on and on about how great it was, but I hate redundancy and I don’t want to lose followers, so here is what I did today:

Shoulders:

1. Standing Military Press 3x10 @ 105/115/125
2. Standing Upright Row 3x10 @ 60/70/80
3. Reverse Flys 3x10 @ 130/140/150
4. Seated Front Raises 3x10 @ 30**
5. Lateral Raises 3x10 @ 20/25/30
6. Shrugs 3x10 @ 110

Legs:

1. ATG Squats 3x10 @ 225/245/255
2. Hamstring Curls 3x10 @ 90/100/110
3. Leg Press 3x10 @ 365/385/405
4. Standing Calf Raises 3x10 @ 160/170/180
5. ISO-Leg Extension 3x10 @ 65/80/95

Biceps:

1. Preacher Curls 3x5 @ 65/75/85

2. Standing Bicep Curls 3x10 @ 40/45/50

3. ISO Curls 3x10 @ 30/35/40

That is it for that Leg/Shoulder day I had to leave the gym a littler early. Guzzled a protein shake on the way out and had some brown rice and chicken once I got in the house. I will probably eat the Turkey chili I made last night to just see if its any good. I’ll let you guys know. Out.

So I know recently I was complaining in a post about how the weather has been abysmal and I am such a baby and wont exercise outside. I would like to just place this disclaimer before all of you judge me: I own no cold weather gear.  Now with that said I shall continue, I rode my bike today to the gym because it was nothing but clear skies and sun rays all over the pavement. I will say this though, it was extremely windy out there, a couple times going up some of the hills that I encounter on my way to Golds were intense. I was in that happy birthday groove mode in the gym and went H.A.M, which is still one of my favorite gym songs to listen to. Here we go.

Back: 

1. Pull Ups 3x10* - Body Weight
2. V-Bar Lat Pull Downs 3x10 - 100lbs
3. Bent over row w/ Long Bar 3x10 - 80lbs
4. Dumbbell Iso-Row 3x10 - 45lbs dumbbells each arm
5. Axle Deadlift 3x10 - 185lbs
6. Supermans 3x10 - Body Weight (opposite arm/opposite Leg/both at a time)
7. Lat Pull downs 3x10 -100lbs

After talking to one my best friends he was truthful enough to critique my body and regions I need to deter focus from and move it towards under developed area, i.e., my back, critical/brutal honesty is good at times especially exercise and fitness at least for me… I am going to actively work on gaining muscle mass on my back and chest. Therefore, I will be adjusting my workout regimen yet again to address these issues. 

Oh and we have a winner! My boy Reezy sent me the low down on a protein shake he uses and completely sold me on it via text, I am going to use it as a meal replacement in the future once it arrives from amazon. Won’t lie though, Supercharged Strawberry isn’t going to do it for me, I am probably search for a Banana flavor if not, fall back to the classic go to pick…Vanilla.

Well anyways, time to cook! Good luck to everyone out there striving for successes and stay focused, keep your eye on the prize!
