Good shoulder session under the new format. As I had hoped, my arm actually does not feel to have been bothered at all. This for me right now is the most important part of my training I need to heed. Restricting my reps and sets is a huge asset in achieving a solid workout without further aggravation. For example, I may normally do 10 reps for a given exercise, but I may cap it at 8 reps and do them in a fashion that allows me to reach, or near, failure at that amount. This is especially true on exercises like the Smith Shoulder Press. All to often I catch myself falling into the habit of chasing the number instead of chasing the movement.
Fucking goddamn **** show out there now with all the fear-mongering surrounding this corona business. Walmart was a zoo (the bad kind lol) but I know a guy who works there and he put aside 24 lbs of the 96% lean beef for me. I also grabbed 7 lbs of the 93% lean beef patties to help bolster my reserves since I eat so much meat. Plus the extra bit of fat/cals may do me good. Fats always make me feel a bit stronger. Since I'm mixing up my meats I'll go ahead and list what my meals are for the day as I have been.
Meals:
- Meal 1: 50g Oatmeal, 50g Isolate, 100g Blueberries,
- Meal 2: Patty Platter (8oz Beef 93%, 2.25 x Sourdough Muffins, 50g Carrots)
- Meal 3: Burger Bowl (240g Beef 96%, 260g Potato, Riced Cauliflower, Shredded Lettuce)
- Meal 4: Patty Platter (8oz Beef 93%, 2.25 x Sourdough Muffins, 50g Carrots)
- Meal 5: Outback (11oz Top Sirloin, 4 x Shrimp, 200g Sweet Potato, Broccoli)
- Meal 6: Used 2.5oz Beef (96%), 5 x Whole Eggs
Notes:
- Slept fairly well, but it took me a little longer to get to sleep.
