This morning I skipped the auxiliary exercises because time was of the essence. Had to drop off my car at the shop with my wife and 11 month old and then go pick up a rental car all before 7:15am so my wife can get the kid to daycare and herself to work on time. Luckily our daughter went to bed on time last night so momma and daddy were able to get the chores done and lunches made before hitting the hay last night. So all I had to do this morning was get dressed, make breakfast, and help get our daughter ready for the day. It felt really good being able to get all that accomplished and still get the training in. I wish every disaster filled evening ended so smoothly. Oh well, it's been another tough week, but this time it's not so much work as it's been dealing with getting this car fixed. We'll soon have a second car down here though, which will make things much easier. Hopefully in a few months when our lease is up, we'll be able to move down south closer to her job too. We REALLY need to have another hour and a half to two of our life back! We just don't have enough time to get done what we need to/want to right now.
Bitching aside, it was a great workout! I've got a great comparison as to just how heavy that Smith Machine at our gym is too. First round, I did my inclines on the Smith and I was able to do 185x12. Today I did them free weight and rocked out 190x18! And that's not total rest pause reps, that's a straight set. I couldn't believe it! I definitely need to be upping the weight next round! My right rear delt only gave me guff on the pullups, but I went as wide as the grips would allow this time and a couple reps in it started feeling pretty good. It got sore again towards the end of the set, but I didn't let it hold me back. I'm not quite sure what's up with it, but it's continuing to heal and not giving me any issues otherwise. I'm thinking it may just be pip that hasn't cleared up fully yet, but I'm going to keep an eye out. I'm not sure progress pics will happen tomorrow like I said in my last post, but at the very least they will be put up on Saturday. I think the wifey will appreciate it if I bring the posing trunks along on our ski trip!
I'm going to be ending the clen soon to let my receptors clear up. I like clen at 4 week increments, and it's coming to an end. I'm beginning to see diminished returns with it, so it's time. May get myself some yohimbine to run in the meantime, but I'm not sure yet. I'm also considering ECA, but since Ephedra effects the beta receptors as well I've always thought it to be a hindrance to receptor recovery. May have to try adding some evening cardio, but I'm not sure how feasible that's going to be. At the very least, the diet is staying locked down tight!
Tomorrow is Lower Body C - Round 1. Bring on the deads!!!
