I didn't realize that canned cresent rolls were loaded with fat.
Ate my dinner, then entered it into myfitnesspal and BAM....fat grams through the roof.

Chest and Shoulders today.
I've been doing alot of high volume sessions lately so I decided to switch it up a bit today.
Did some warmup sets of each exercise just working up in weight(just 4-6 reps), then went a little heavier with all the working sets.

Pec Dec (warmup x3) 1x8, 3x6, rp 1x6/4/4
Incline DB press (warmup x3) 5x6, rp 1x7/4
Flat bench (warmup x2) 4x6, rp 1x7/3
Machine rear flyes (warmup x3) 4x6, rp 1x6/6/5
Machine lateral raise (warmup x3) 4x6, rp 1x6/5/4
Machine shoulder press neutral grip (warmup x3) 6x6
Cable flys (warmup x2) 4x8

Did some shopping with the kids, then played some golf til it got dark.

Today was a good day.

Golf :-[ when I golf I am more angry than I am happy....the ratio is completely off.!
The guys I play with pound beer and claim that the beer helps flip the ratio...haha
My conclusion is that golf is a game for crazy people!

Sounds like some of the guys I used to play golf with. I have an annual golf trip with my buddies but other than that, I just play with my daughter. She is still learning the game and taking lessons. She played on her school team the last two years. It's refreshing to play with her.
And your conclusion is spot on brother, only someone who is crazy would subject themselves to such a cruel game.

About the warm up sets as you proceedEd thru..... after pull ups and pull downs the back should be well warmed up... are the 3 reps warm up more for the mind Muscle connect or do u really need the warm up?
I ask only cause Im always afraid of tiring out Muscle with too much warming up and not being able to go as heavy.

I was using the warmup reps to help figure out what weigh to use, and just to get the body used to the weight and movement.

Muscles don't have eyes... they only know effort and tension. Aka, don't get caught up on moving as heavy weight as you can. Break down muscle fibers is job one. A by product of more mass is strength, but it's not necessarily the ultimate goal
I'm probably just reminding you what u already know though

Carb # is with the pizza, I conserve throughout the day when I know I'm going to have a higher fat/carb meal. I only had 1/3 of the square pizza and 1 slice of the pepperoni.
