TOTAL POUNDAGE:-

W2 --->>> n/a
W1 --->>> 14,560 lbs


Overall Impression:-

havent gotten fully well yet. still under medication.

squats: should have done 4x10 but doing high rep squats is really killing me. i gave up at 2 sets. i could have done 3 but i had a coke a while before my workout and i had a massive heartburn throughout the entire workout which didnt help me one bit.

key stone deadlifts: i compensated for the lesser amount of squats by doing 5x5 = 25 reps instead of 3x6 = 18 reps.

dumbbell swings: felt really good except on set 2 i almost puked.

leg press + leg curls superset: very tiring. my ROM on leg press wasnt 100% and i dont intend for it to be that way either. the workout prior to this is enough lol

diet: eating has improved since yesterday. maybe the coke caused the heartburn maybe it didnt. i have no clue. either way, im not having any coke prior to my workout again. maybe the combination of coke and a banana did not work.

overall: good workout. glad the poundages increased.

have a good weekend everyone and thanks for reading

Overall Impression:-
i decided to do monday's session today because i missed monday's workout. i have fallen very ill and am under a lot of medication so i am wondering how i was able to lift so heavy today. i am glad i was still able to progress. feels good. in these last 2-3 days i have lost 5 lbs. i was on a shitty diet till today but i finally managed to get in the right amount of protein, etc. so all is well. i should recover in another 2 days. hopefully. my shoulder is feeling a little wierd though. left shoulder. im a little concerned about this. perhaps doing my rehab tomorrow might help. i think my tiny shoulder muscles are a little sore thats it.

as for the workout, it was good.

Bench Press: good form

Pin Press: chest was toasted lol

JS Rows: felt great as always!

Plate Raises: made the shoulder feel better. not 100% as yet but close. like 70% from 20%. so im happy. tomorrow's rehab will make it go to either 100% or 20% again. i hope the former.

Curls and Extensions: boring stuff. just glad i progressed haha my arms are looking awesome now!

Overall: going to see Pirates III tomorrow morning. should be fun. workout was fun too. hope everyone is having a good week and thanks for reading!
