Sometimes I find that I get into a groove, and comfortable, so I stick to the same ol’ exercises.  I’ll change things around a bit to keep my muscles from conforming to the routine.  With this new routine, I’m trying out some exercises I normally don’t do. 

My chest is sore today.  Not sure if it’s from the dips, or just intense training, but it feels nice to know after a hard effort in the gym, your sore and growing.

Today was back and calves.  I hit a new max on my wide grip pull downs, 120lbs.  And my close grip pull downs, again, 120lbs.  Hitting 6 solid reps.  I did rack deads.  Haven’t ever done those, but let me tell ya, they feel awesome on the lower back!  I wasn’t certain about how heavy I could take it.  My first set I put on some quarters.  That seemed too easy.  My second set I smacked on some 45’s (135lbs).  Starting to feel it.  My forth and final set, I did 175lbs.  My veins were popping on my chest and arms, it felt great!  Gotta love those veins.
