6/28 Chest & Arms

Awesome workout. Tricep pressdowns were a bit rough today because i jumped in weight on my first 2 work sets and it killed me on the 3rd set. Other than that seems as though strength is increasing, maxed out the gym's dumbbells for incline db press, not sure whether to increase the time under tension or throw in a drop set to increase the intensity, or to just switch the exercise.

A.M weight: 171.5
Waist: 35.5 (Did not think i put on this much abdominal fat, luckily my abdominal fat comes off pretty easily, if only my legs were the same)

Smith Squats - 105/14, 115/12, 155/10, 175/8, 205/6

Leg Curl - 70/12, 80/10, 90/8, 105/6

Sumo Squat - 105/12, 115/12, 115/12, 115/12

Calf Raise - 155/16/15/15/15

3 sets for upper abs 21/20/15

20 minutes on treadmill @ 3% incline and 3.5 mph

Diet has been spot on and I feel as though I am getting tighter and more vascular each day.

6/24 Chest & Arms

Have some very painful DOMS in my legs right now other than that everything is good. Waking up with more vascularity in my arms and feeling tighter each day, could be the anabolic pump kicking in. Had a great workout even after working an 8 hour shift. Right shoulder felt awkward on flat bench but I was probably fatigued from the previous exrcise and will lighten the load next week. Sipped on 4 scoops of Core ABC.
