you're huge and seem to be strong as hell

Awesome bench press, great physique. I'll be following your progress.

Thanks for all of the compliments guys! I appreciate them all! Here's what today's workout looked like:

HACK SQUAT
5 plates + 35 per side x 8 (+1 rep from last hack squat session!)
3 plates + 35 per side x 20 (+20lbs from last session!)

DB SLDL
125's x 10 (+10lbs!)
100's x 11 (+10lbs!)

SEATED CALF RAISE
2 plates + 10 x 10
2 plates + 10 x 10
1 plate x 20

16 mins LISS cardio on the treadmill. The pr's are still coming. My bodyweight has pretty much been the same (196-197) for the last 3 weeks. So, right now I think I'm just gonna stay here unless I feel like it's absolutely necessary to bump up the cals. I wanna be able to lift in the 198 class in July without having to cut much weight if any at all. We'll see what happens.

Looking good. I've never tried DB SLDLs. How do you like them compared to the barbell flavor?

I like them a lot better than I do barbell.

My best lifts in the gym are:
BENCH: 405 x 2
SQUAT: 500 x 1
DEADLIFT: 505 x 1
These lifts are all lifts done inside of or at the end of a workout and not fresh.

Hit it hard man, and welcome to the forum

No chest today to let the shoulder heal/feel better.

That's it short and sweet.

Switched up the workout a little to accommodate my shoulder situation. I'm glad I did because my shoulder is feeling really really good. I think the adjustments I've made have worked out nicely

20 mins LISS cardio on the treadmill. Bodyweight was 199 this morning, but it was 196.5 two days ago, so I'm guessing some water fluctuations are going on. We will see in the morning.
