    Weights: Lower Power

    One-leg press 3x8
    Deadlift 5x5

    Analysis: Had to be in the office early this morning, only time to do half a workout. Normally I would prefer to do deadlifts first, but all 8 squat racks were in use when I got to the gym, literally just minutes after opening, so the leg press served as my warmup to allow me to skip some deadlift sets and get to working weight faster.

    Food: Lunch - stir-fried chicken and veggies with rice, Dinner - Taco Tuesday

    Cardio: Pulling weeds 75 minutes

    Weights: Upper Power

    Bench Press 5x5
    Cable Row 5x5
    DB Press <superset> DB Row 5x5
    DB OHP <superset> DB Shrugs 3x8
    Cable Pushdown <superset> Preacher Curl 3x8

    Analysis: Finally made a life-long goal of hitting 5x5 bench at 225. Even pumped out 8 reps (with a spotter) for the final set. Roar! Hitting the gym at 10am on a holiday weekend wasn't my best move, though, as the place was PACKED and had to wait multiple times to get access to the benches I needed.

    Food: Dinner - chili (been percolating for hours, house smells delicious)

    Life: How was the Flash movie, @ninerbuff?

    I liked the Flash. There were moments that I thought it was off with Ezra Miller, but Michael Keaton saved the movie for me.

    Pulldown 3x10
    Machine Lateral Raise 4x12
    Machine Curl <superset> Machine Pushdown 3x10
    Perloff Press 3x15sec

    Analysis: The last couple workouts I've swapped out DB work for machine work on my isolations, specifically the fly's, curls and pushdowns. The fly's especially are FAR more intense when done with a machine, as DB fly's tend to lose tension on the pecs at the top of the movement, but the machine retains intensity through the entire range of motion. Been a while since I had DOMS in my chest, but that's exactly what's going on now, and I consider it a good thing.

    Food: Dinner - spicy peanut chicken with rice
