Here is the gym I am lifting at. I hated it at first but had to make do, especially since a ton of the dumbells are missing. And the A/C doesn't work most days I'm there, so it's pretty hot in there.

But every day I love it more and more:



Squat/RDL rack and chin up bar:

Lost a tiny bit of strength in the shoulder workouts, probably because i missed my last back/shoulder workout.

This is for a water fast, correct?

Would be interesting to see a dry fasting chart as well. Autophagy kicks in much earler on a dry fast from what I know.

Was not feeling too strong today. Might be because I've been slacking on protein this week, but also because I jumped up in weight very fast the past week or so and now I'm at my "real" maxes. The gains are no doubt slowing down now!

So dead tired today since I slept late. Doesn't matter that I woke up late as well - night sleep is so much better than day sleep

may lift at night tnite, or double up tomorrow (but with less sets)

So glad to be doing sets of 225 on the bench again! Plan is to stick with this weight until I can hit 7 reps on the first set, then move up in weight. Incline DB's for that pump afterward. Gotta combine the neural gains + myofibrillar hypertrophy + sarcoplasmic hypertropy!

I remember when i was a toddler. I used to sit in a chair and chew on the corners of my toenails.

Today I can barely smell my foot. My nose is probably ~10 inches away from my big toe. Very stiff

Thinking of dropping to 3 sets of heavy benches with higher weight because the first few sets feel pretty light. Would also be easier on my shoulders. And i think i regained an okay amount of neural strength in my bench at this point, so there probably isnt much need for 7-8 sets of benches anymore unless i'm trying to bust through a plateau

btw, incline db bench press "plus" refers to push the shoulders forward at the top for some serratus activation
