Day 87 PCT Day 24
I am seriously feeling the best I have felt in so long that I honestly don't remember feeling this good... My stamina, endurance and strength are excellent and I am really progressing the way that I want... I am winding down PCT and getting ready for my SARMS bridge... Its amazing though, when things in your life make you happy, how big of an effect it truly has on you in the all around aspect... I got tickets to the Saints vs. Eagles, Monday Night Football in the Superdome, THIRD ROW AND going with a gorgeous girl... The girl is having a big impact on me right now too... When things come together, it just has an all around wonderful effect...
Cardio was excellent today... I started with a 6 miles run at 8.0 mph for 45 minutes... Then I did the stairclimber for 2.25 miles on level 13 for 15 minutes... I finished with the elliptical for 2 miles on level 8 for 15 minutes... I was feeling absolutely wonderful and ready to hit the weights very hard!
Today was shoulders and biceps and I had an excellent workout... I set PR's today like a madman and do that on PCT is quite an accomplishment...

I started with hammer grip shoulder presses... My PR on normal shoulder presses is 85 x10 so getting 80x10 with a hammer grip is excellent... This was a new PR for me... I also got up to 55x10 on side arm alternate arm hammer curls... I started off very strong and it set the tone for the rest of the workout...
Next I did straight arm simotaneous dumbbell lateral raises... These are always so good for the shoulders and really work them nicely... I started off with a new PR on my first set of seated alternate arm dumbbell curls... I did all four sets at this weight and it definitely took something out of me but I was thrilled with setting a PR on it from the start of the sets!
Next superset was very difficult... I started with barbell single arm shoulder pushes... I started with my previous PR weight of 80x10... These just take a lot out of you... I decided to go for 85x10 on the last set and I got it! This was another PR for me and one that I am very proud of because this is a tough exercise... I superset with wide grip curls... I did all four sets at 100x10...
I finished with a superset of standing free weight shoulder figure 8's and single arm dumbbell side-arm curls... normally I do sets of 10 on the figure 8's but today I pushed hard and did sets of 12... These are so tough, especially to do at the end of a workout but they work the shoulders so nicely... I finished with single arm side arm curls... I did all four sets at 40x10 and was very happy with the results of the workout today...
Today's workout was such a success for me... I didn't even realize how many PR's I set until I started typing this up... I feel like this was a very big accomplishment for me and am just so happy with everything right now... I am so motivated to get more and more progress and I am just pushing harder and harder everyday! All feedback appreciated!!
