Solid workout today, and becoming more and more focus. Seeing the results from the last pro show, sparked my motivation a little bit more and realize I need to hit it hard.
Did barbell shrugs for the first time in many months. Did each rep slow and controlled.

The only set back was taking it easy on the triceps. Basically, I was just mixing things up to see what doesnt hurt the elbow tendon.

Quads:

I decided to rotate a 3 day and 5 day split. Nothing like getting both of best worlds. With the 5 day, I am getting a little more volume and rest between muscle groups, but more importantly, I get more focus on the muscle group.

One step closer to getting it back. Great early morning workout, and I hate training early! Pump was great and made gains.

Now, since things are getting better. I am ready to cut a bit, nothing drastic, just to have a better look. So I will be adding Recreate by USP Labs soon, and give me feedback on it.

Bodyweight is back to 170. Qhen I was sick it was down to 162! So the goal is to get to 160, but to have the same strength.
