3/16 push C
Had a solid ass session. Gotta say tho, felt strange not having a barbell or smith machine in my hand. Kinda didn't like it to be honest but it's just 1 of the 3 pushes and has to be done. Did get a nice chest overall pump tho. It's also strange that even fresh I'm stronger with barbell and smith machine than I am on a machine.

Had a killer session today. Finally sucked it up and started goin upstairs to use the standing ham curl. I don't understand how TF a machine can make 30lbs feel so gd heavy!! It's a Dynabody built machine. Had a killer session tho.

3/21 push A
Had a solid ass session. Kinda surprised I got that many reps on the first set of smith press. Pretty sure that's the same reps I got on my last session on 25°.

4/6 push B
Had a kick ass session! Chest is already cramping like a bitch tonight. Still 213.6 this morning and I'm amazed how much my body has changed the last 2 weeks. I didn't expect to be this lean at this weight to be honest. Damn sure not gonna complain tho. And it's not like I'm gonna be close to weight caps. Legs are holding well too hopefully that remains true.
