Thread: Absolute Dedication

Rocco- Hey man, nice to see that you're still reading and keeping up with my journal. Lately I've been doing well and its pretty much becoming a habit. I don't even think twice about taking the cheese off of sandwiches, etc. Its really becoming an entire lifestyle change.

bludevil- Thanks for the support dude, and wow I can't get over how much worse cashews are than almonds! I never thought twice about eating them, no wonder why they taste so damn good.

CaptainDeadlift- LOL, thanks man. And no, believe it or not I'm walking fine right now. But later on tonight I know I'll feel it. My lats have never been so sore, ever! From right under my armpit all the way down to my waist, ha.

Chest and light triceps today.

My workout partner thinks this is a good idea, I'm not sure yet what I think of it. Doing chest and light triceps today and then taking tomorrow off, then hitting arms on Saturday.

Incline Bench SS w/ Incline CG DB Presses:

135 x 12 / 25's x 8
185 x 9 / 25's x 8
225 x 4 + 1 (assisted) / 25's x 8

Decline Bench SS w/ Decline CG DB Presses:

135 x 12 / 25's x 8
185 x 8 / 25's x 8
225 x 6 + 1 (assisted) / 25's x 8

Ouch! These are a new way of hitting chest that my partner showed me today. Ended up doing a set of incline presses followed up with a CG set of DB presses, with the DB's together the entire time. Supposed to hit the "inner pecs" more, lol. Did the same with decline presses.

Cable Flyes:

40 x 12
50 x 10

Crossbench DB Pullovers:

55's x 13
55's x 12
55's x 12

Great stretch today on these! Really smashed the hell outta' my chest and serratus. Good sets, for sure.

Pec-Deck Flyes:

95 x 11
95 x 9

Diamond Push-Ups SS w/ Dips:

BW x 9 / BW x 6

By this time my chest/triceps was completely burnt out. I had nothing left.

Rope Cable Pressdowns:

80 x 12
60 x 12

Triceps were completely trashed. I have no clue how I'm going to do arms on Saturday, lol.

Diet- Still hanging in there with eating clean. Last night I had some peanut butter and another tuna sandwich, lol. Today so far some whey protein then oatmeal and honey postworkout, and then when I got to work a 1/2 turkey sandwich, a turkey wrap, and then a whole-wheat tuna sandwich.

Sleep- 8.5 hours.
