Pulls
Close grip pulldowns-245x10, 8, 5, 4=27 Goal passed +4 Reps
Hammer iso lateral rows-415x8, 7, 5, 3=23 +10 lbs
Deadlifts-345x8, 7=15 Goal passed +10 lbs
Alternate db curls-ran up and down the rack starting with 10s, ending with 35s in 5 lb increments, 10 reps a set on the way up, to failure on the way down.
Still steadily making progress. A few sides are starting to kick in, lol but I welcome them cause it confirms my gear is legit
A tad bit of acne, really just one pimple that has popped up on my cheek but I quickly nipped that in the bud with some cream. Also the boys aren't atrophied but have been tightening up lol. Also, irritability has been present for a little while, but I keep it in check and maintain a calm demeanor due to my awareness of this.
I'm starting to fill out nicely, and am looking good and pumped while at the gym. I'm starting to get looks from other regulars, and the strength gains are packing on steadily and quickly. Today I noticed around my lats and rear delts I felt a bit of tightness, but persisted anyway (knowing my body, that it wasn't injury prone) and I realized that this must be typical for the joints to lag behind the muscular gains.
Due to this, depending on how I'm feeling, I may skip my next session to give my body an extra day of rest and recovery. I realize that just because I'm geared doesn't mean I'm bullet proof and want to maintain the gains, and am a big believer in time off every now and then to keep growing and progressing.
Other than that all is well.
