I just got in from the gym and I had another great workout. I am training at a new facility (left World Gym… long story ;-) My weight is 252lbs and I am still pretty lean.
I trained heavy chest and light shoulders tonight. I am really happy about my recent progress as most of my injuries have healed up (knock on wood quick :-)
Tonight’s DB incline press looked like:
Unassisted DB Incline Chest Press
105lbs x 10
125lbs x 10
135lbs x 10
140lbs x 6
Since moving to this facility, I have been able to switch up my workouts and the muscle is freaking out with the new changes :-) They have an excellent cable chest press that really isolates the muscle… the pump is crazy.
My meals are about the same… I have added turkey sausage to my menu for a little change. It is pretty lean and every piece has 20gr protein. I am eating 2 pieces, 1/2 cup rice (measured dry), 1/4 cup black beans, 1/8 cup peanuts, 1 TBSP fat free sour cream and choice of veggie – 4-5 times daily. The rest of my meals are usually supplemented.
Here are a couple shots after my workout (sorry about the dark pics)

I trained chest with Vinny and Dave tonight and what a great workout! I wasn’t as strong on incline db press but made up with reps and an incredible pump. Overall, I am feeling pretty good. I am a little cranky with the lack of carbs and increased thermogenics…. but it will all pan out soon.
Tomorrow is my low carb day and I should be in a great mood… hehe…
