Who knew how good food could be. 😉

Yesterday I was on the road and so I ate in a manner that wasn’t very in line with the old diet. But you know… I’m on a mid, so a little fudge is fine, one day off the wagon won’t kill me. But geez, I woke up bloated this morning…. or at least, I hope it’s bloat. 😉 I’ll see what tale the scale tells in a few days.

But it certainly lead to a nice day at the gym! More glycogen, more reps! I don’t peed out from being out of gas. How nice! And 8 reps on chin-ups…. dude, it was kinda surprising to me that I kept going! I was stoked. 10 reps is near!

I continue to try to keep weights heavy enough but to maintain some better form, especially on shrugs. I really have to overcome slouching when I shrug since that’s well… just not good when you’re putting such a load on your spine.

I also am finding that my biceps respond to heavier hammer curls than lighter with more reps. Hrm….
