6/9 pull A
Today felt amazing. Well, wasn't happy with how heavy the pulldowns felt but they felt good on my back if that makes sense. I also lowered the weight significantly on rack pulls cause not only was that 565 or whatever it was too damn much,I wasn't squeezing my back etc and it was just my ego. I planned on lowering it anyways but coach got onto me about it too so I squeezed as much out of 405 as I possibly could, and it was AWESOME!!!!! Pump was good and boy am I happy AF with where my physique is rn!! Shits getting nasty AF real quick since. Changed the peds to shirt esters this week and lowered food a touch and added orals last week. Oh, back to regular gym for this workout today. Last time was at other gym due to hrs

6/13 Push B
Had a good push day. First push B after throwing out the flat bb press and the smith felt really good. Have the arsenal press a try after but I just didn't like it so I'll go back to the other flat machine press i like after. Since I switched first movement I just wanted to try something different but no. Had a gnarly pump despite that arsenal press in chest.

6/18 push C
Aside from my first set of smith press, the session went very well. Something just didn't feel right on that first set the whole time tho. Nothing hurt or anything like that, something was just "off". Just couldn't get myself awake at first. Sleep has been much better last day or 2 tho. Anyway, weight steady dropping, body getting harder , striations popping up in new places.
Because of that first set, got paranoid and lowered the weight on DB press which turns out wasn't necessary at all it did feel nice to pump out extra reps but I would've been fine with the 120s again. Lesson learned !!!

6/23 legs A
Today went well. The leg press was being used so I just went and used the machine leg press. Didn't have time to wait and get my cardio in.
Gotta nice pump in too.

6/27 Pull A
Overall had a good session minus the first set/rest pause set was off. I've messed up writing in my book somewhere I believe. I added a str8 set after just to make myself feel better and it did feel good. Pix look shit tho. Not sure if it was just me, the fact I moved where I usually take em(same room just diff angle/spot) or maybe I'm just flat. In my eye I look full but fat. I know I know, shit up!! Was a long shitty day yesterday so maybe I was just holding water. We'll see when I get home. Took some pix when I got home and even they were already better.
