Okay so I went to the gym yesterday with the intentions of a double lift Chest, Shoulders presses, CGBP & Side Raises then hitting up the legs that I was supposed to be doing yesterday. Well I made it through the Upper Body Stuff and then through the Dead Lifts, but the leg press machines were taken and I waited for a good 10 minutes and decided I was done after that. It was late I had only had one meal and I needed to get home to start cooking. I will share some food porn with you shortly!
Chest / Shoulder Pressing / Triceps / Shoulder Width
Hammer Strength Decline w/ Red Bands - 45x15, 70x20 +5 +5 +5 =15 - I thought this was going to be a second warm up set but to my surprise the bands rocked my world. The last one or 2 of the 20 was hard, then only taking 5 breaths during the pauses I found each myo set was surprisingly hard!
Hammer Strength Super Incline / Front Military Press w/ red band - 25x15, 35x19 +5 +3 +3 +2 =16 Holy crap! I think that about says it all. The bands were stretched tighter on the decline so it really got me good. Man I looked huge when I stood up too.
JM Press w/ bands 95x18 +5 +4 +3 +3 =15 - Tricepticus Errupticus! These were pretty crazy, they took so much control to do. I intended for them to be close grip bench press but the band wanted them to come down more inline which worked out really well for my triceps anyway. I got up and they looked like meat just hanging down over the back of my elbow.
Seated DB Side Raises w/ Intentions - 22.5x20 +5 +5 +5 - these were hard as hell. The form you have to use for the intentions makes side raises twice as hard or at least for me it does.
Okay on to the Dead Lifts first time in a very long time for me.
Dead Lifts 135x12, 225x12, 315x10, 385x5, 385x4 - I would have had 405x5 or more if I had not been doing higher reps in the beginning but was just going for volume then decided to lift some bigger weights. Here are the results of that lift...

Here is what I made last night for my dinner... Lean High Protein Low Carb Chili
Macros are as follows - 20g Protein, 1.6g fats, 7g carbs & 2.3g fiber per cup of awesome yumminess!
Instead of beans I used bamboo shoot, cauliflower and water chestnuts for added texture added in the last 15-20 minutes so they would stay semi firm... For extra spice and flavor on top of the regular chili seasoning I blended a few jalapenos & serranos peppers with a can of chipotle peppers with adobo sauce and tossed it in there too. What I ended up with was an amazing chili so thick it could stand on its own. Have a look for yourself.
