Strong benching man!

I give you credit for nailing 265x3 after a few heavy sets on bench. Nice job.

those decline dumbbells really beat on my chest i usually never feel pressing motions to much in my chest, but i was really impressed with those

I really like the leverage of decline movements. I wish I could do them at home.

legs today and did everything between 15-20 reps and it absolutely destroyed me

leg press
4 plates 20 (warm up)
6 plates 20
8 plates 15
10 plates 15 (usually 3 hard set from 6-12 reps would not even be close to enough, but i had veins coming out my quads they were so pumped after this)

machine squats
3 sets 200-12 (once again 3 sets was plenty)

smith machine sldl
3 sets 135-15 (holding it at the bottom for a second to really get the stretch)

back hypers (to get that extra ham stretch too)
bw-12 reps 2 sets
cable ab crunchs
3 sets 80-16
leg raises
3 sets 10

neck extensions
lifting partner held towel on each side of head and did 1 set each way for 8 reps

awesome workout im really gonna struggle walking tomorrow, but to anyone who hasn't done legs in the 15-20 reps you should really try it out.

37-10 (got help on last 2)

incline bench rear delt raise

50's felt good but the shoulder were so beat it was tough to get em up

incline bench barbell raise
20-16

seated calve raise-3 sets full range til i got to tired then did some partials to really burn them out

donkey calve raise-3 sets

leg press calve raise-2 sets

burned out shoulder with 4 plates on hammer strength shoulder press 12 reps first set 8 second

a rear delt exercise isn't a very impressive PR but i haven't had one in a while so it feels good to know im starting to lift heavy weight again

Looks good to me. When it comes to shoulder exercises, I'll take any PRs I can get.

Great effort.
