Heavy Shoulders & Arms Day: 82.5%

Finally got my phone back today...I hate being without my phone! On top of that, Ryan let me borrow an iPod for some music until I can either find mine or buy a new one. So the day was off to a good start in spite for the HORRIBLE weather. Also, my mood was up from my high dose Vitamin D3

Smith Seated Military Press: 250 for 5 reps, 5 reps, 5 reps - Sporto Tempo

These are feeling strong...I didn't struggle near as much using the Sporto Tempo with this intensity level as I did the last time. I really think I might set a PR here on 100% day.

EZ Preacher Curls: 125 for 5 reps, 5 reps, 5 reps - Sporto Tempo

These are feeling better every time I do this. I've really been doing my homework on how to effectively and optimally train the biceps and they really have come a long way. Now, I know I will never have great peaks because of factors outside my control, but hopefully I can make up for it with size.

EZ Skull Crushers: 150 for 5 reps, 5 reps, 5 reps - Sporto Tempo

This is by far the toughest exercise to use the Sporto Tempo on LOL. The first set always feels like my joints are going to snap in half! But after they warm up more, the last set or two is just fine. It's always that first one though!

DB Reverse Incline Rear Raises: 55s for 8 reps, 8 reps

After a couple of sets here, my shoulders were starting to fatigue. I do get some good burn right in the area I want, but I know the reps are a little sloppy towards the end of the set. I use really strict form on the machine rear delts, so I really believe I'm getting in a good mix of work to add size and detail in this area.

BB Standing Curls: 155 for 7 reps, 6 reps

I nice little PR here by 2 reps! The last time I attmepted this was when I took a video of me doing this 5 times. I decided to see what I could do with this weight now and was able to get 2 more reps tha before. PROGRESS!

BB Decline Close Grip Bench Press: 315 for 7 reps, 7 reps

Here I bumped up the weight as well. I can't remember if I've ever done this weight for this many reps, but either way, it really nailed my triceps in a good way. Thing is, my form must be really good because I don't feel this in my chest or my shoulders like some claim they do. Mine is all in my triceps, and damn do they get fried!

DB Incline Lying Curls: 60s for 8 reps, 7 reps

Here, I bumped up the weight even more to stick this in a certain rep range. By this time I was feeling good, so I used 10lbs more in each hand than I've ever used before. I was still able to bury 8 solid reps and receive the nice torture of the burn immediately following!

Cable Rope Extensions: 220 for 8 reps, 230 for 8 reps

Nothing fancy here....I added some weight to try and work on progressive overloead for some growth. Pretty soon, I should be doing the stack with these...but baby steps for now, especially at the end of a workout!

Good stuff today...finally got my Blue Raspberry Xtend re-stocked and rocked out 6 scoops during the workout mixed with some G2 and some other goodies. Ever since I have been using Super Xtend, my workouts have been nothing short of AMAZING!
