Shoulder was acting up alittle today…but got a deep tissue massage so i am a lot looser…..I will be making a switch out of some exercises…i havent decided which ones to add in but i am swaping out DB Rear Delt Raises on incline bench and barbell military press….I am progressing very nicely on everything else i am especially pleased with my form on Db laterals

Diet Note….since switching my macros over to increased protein i find i am not as hungry as i was before…I am more satisfied now….but still hungry….and i definately tightened up alittle…so im pleased in the change so far….now lets see what it does on the scale

School has been overwhelming these past couple of days, I am currently moving and have not had a room for about 1 week, i have been sleeping on my couch so i have been feeling very tired and not rested. Plus school work just keeps adding up…..reguardless of all this i still manage to pull through and really make sure i get my meals in and hit the gym hard. I am not going to lie i was extremely tired this morning and the weights felt heavy but i managed to hit up the intensity….i gave myself a 7 out of 10 for todays workout…Bicep’s got slammed today even though i am only doing 2 exercises i focus super hard on those 2 maximizing the effort on those

well until next time!

Notes
Great workout today….i was totally focused and dialed in……I totally felt every fiber in my chest, shoulders and triceps just expanding and growing

-went alil off my diet today….had 2 extra bowls of my favorite cereal…..I was totally starving today, so i gave in alittle bit to my body’s urge to eat….Since chest is a weakpoint for me it can only help!
In reality i probably had maybe an extra 200-300 calories

My water intake was high today at 3.5 gallons….Lately consistently i have been having a huge urge to drink water? Average for the past 2 weeks is about 3 gallons….maybe because it fills me?

Today i really felt overall that i pushed the growth envelope!

Well its been 3 months since i hurt my shoulder and i must say i about 85% - 90% better….What a better way to celebrate my anniversary on getting injury with my FIRST NEW PR THIS MORNING!!!
My previous best for reps on deadlifts was 365lbs for 8 reps with straps
this morning i nailed
360lbs for 9 reps with no straps!!!!!
This is the first of many new PR’s coming!!!

The more PR’s i hit the bigger i get!!!

My bicep pump was absolutely sick!!!

I also got another compliment this morning on looking a lot bigger….but it was by a client and i dont know if she was just saying it to be nice
Definately made my ego grow and hopefully my body will follow that haha
