Quads and abs:

Very stiff for the early morning workout. Not sure if it was from the late night or cold weather. Either way, moved on, and missed the prescribed reps for 395. Was shooting for a triple, but cut it off at two reps. I then for kicks banged out a single for kicks. While being disappointed, I whacked the rest of the workout and made gains from last time. All In all, great pump and burn!

Back and calves workout:

Sunday morning workout with a new routine. Dig it and slammed it.
The cool thing was doing more weight than last time on most movements and that was about a month and a half ago.

Side note, the body is slowwwwly going down, and this is on purpose. Over the past two months, dropped about 6 pounds. And this insures is mostly fat loss.

Nothing crazy with this workout. Since the shoulder was acting up, stuck with lighter weight/higher reps. Got a nice burn on both muscle groups.

Start a new routine an fresh wave of 531. I will be sticking with the squat and deads and should start to get challenging. I was happy to hit 365 for the 5 reps at my current body weight as its been a while since I even did at any body weight.
The rest of the workout was faster tempo and really thrashed the quads.
