Numbers here look good for my targets. A tiny bit low on fat and carbs and a tiny bit high on protein but the calories work themselves out pretty good.
Okay now for the workout.
HS Decline Chest Press - 45x15, 90x12, 135x10, 160x9, 170x4 - Got pretty beast mode the last two sets.
HST-7 Straight Arm Pec Deck - 180x12, 11, 10, 6, 160x8, 8, 7 - Chest looked HYUGE after this.
Life Fitness Shoulder Press 110x10, 80x10, 10, 8, 9 - First set my elbows and shoulders let me know they were not having heavy weight any more today. I slowed the temp way down after that and just concentrated on the contraction.
FST-7 Lateral Raise Machine - 100x12, 12, 12, 9, 90x10, 8, 8 - Shoulders were kaput after this... Also quite inflated as well.
FST-7 V Bar Cable Triceps Extension - 90x12, 100x12, 110x10, 10, 10, 8, 8 - My triceps were damn near ready to pop off the back of my arm they were so tight and full when I was done.
Things of note, the water seems to have come off from my cheat day even with the high carbs Tuesday. I am looking very big right now, and things are going well. I am definitely noticing my joints and or tendons bitching at me about pushing it nice and hard. My chronic elbow issue keeps trying to pop up. I think I may need to either slow everything down to limit weight, or do higher reps explosively with short rest periods.
Either way I need to modify things a bit to minimize the stress on my elbows... I have another workout that does me pretty well but if I can make this one work the split is great especially for my current goals.
Also I should mention I decided to extend this run to a 12 week run since our stuff if pretty mild on the system it won't be any issue. I will have an additional 4 weeks at 6-8 caps a day of 1-Alpha, however the 550XD will still only be an 8 week run.
