Week 3: 5/23/11
Another early morning workout. Did my morning routine (brush teeth, drop the kids off at the pool, drink some cold water). Was great to see when I checked my body fat % and weight this morning. Looked like I lost fat and gained lean body mass 😀
Took my White Flood again with my Intra-workout drink to help boost and wake me up. Everything went and felt easy today somehow! Maybe I was motivated after that weigh in this morning!
Overall an outstanding workout day!

Workout Notes:
Squats:
Somehow squats today felt lighter than last session! All pumped up today.
1st 2 sets felt like a warm-up and I was definitely warmed up on the 3rd and consecutive sets. I was feeling all HULKED up lol.
When I started my right knee was acting up but by the 3rd set it was all gone.Bench Press:
Decided to add +10 lbs from last session and my bench session today still felt light also! Maybe I was just getting motivated because I was watching some young guy struggling to use the Smith Machine next to me doing 1/4 squats with 20 lbs total on the bar! Kinda made me giggle inside as he and one of the PT’s there was giving each other High Fives and stuff.
I may add +10 lbs next session and see how it goes from the 1st set.Bent-over Rows:
This lift somehow felt lighter also compared to last session! Was just taking my time doing it making sure I am doing it right.
I may add +10 lbs next session on this as well and see how it goes from the 1st set.Dips:
Easy sets.
Right shoulder did not act up on me today.Reverse Crunch:
Good sets as well!
No stop in-between this time as well!
