First meal ( at work so I only get one break for a full meal so I decided to eat a higher calorie option to keep me going at work.
After work is 45 minutes of cardio to burn off a decent majority of calories when I go home I will eat a few more small meals to hit my target goal of around 2040 calories, even if I don't hit it exactly I do try to get the necessary protein for recovery purposes.
I am able to get a quick snack in few hours from now

(4-26-23 PHASE ONE Back + Traps )
I started today with Dead Hang Pull-Up
3x6@219lbs ( body weight )
Overall I felt strong, I like to work with grip strength and Forearm strength when I do Pull-ups. One having strong forearms helps me with Pulling motions alot and handling heavier weight loading.
Second up today was (Deadlifting)
I started out with a few warmups (1x10@115lbs) ( 1X10@145lbs )
(1x10@175lbs)
( my 3 working sets ) (1×10@225lbs)
(1x6@255lbs) (1x6@315lbs)
I will admit I haven't done deadlifts in 4 months in order to see where I was I needed to go a little heavier, it was taxing and fun at the same time, it felt amazing hitting 315lbs for 6 good ones, I credit alot of help with the grip and forearm strength training I do as it wasn't my grip that didn't want the tension it was my back, I could tell if I push any further the reps and set would be sloppy and bad, I can't train like that it has to be cleand or I'm upset and let myself down and it doesn't count as a rep. (for my reps) I did
drop back down and hit ( 1x10@225 and it felt easy after working upward at 315lbs for 6reps
Next up (Bent Over Row) (warm-up) ( 1x10@145lbs) ( 1X10@175lbs )
(Working sets )( 2x10@225lbs) 1x10@245lbs)
these felt extremely good especially after hitting deadlifts, my pulling is increasing little by little each week and for the first time this year I hit 245lbs for 10 which I could not do a couple months ago ( I really feel this forearm training working well for me happy I implemented it in months ago ( the deadhang pull-ups I feel also are increasing my pulling power ( it is amazing what a few tweaks here and there can really do for you over time )
DB Shoulder Shrug ( 1x10@35lbs warmup
(Working sets ) ( 1x10@40lbs ) 1x10@45lbs) (1x10@50lbs)
To increase difficulty I did DB shurgs ( no breaks in between sets and hit BB Shrugs after no breaks and went back and fourth between both for a total of 6 sets.
Wanted to push myself and the tempo since it was the end of my workout.
(BB shrugs behind the back reverse grip)
(Working sets) (1x10@175lbs) (2x10@205lbs)
I was jacked hitting these numbers stepping back a bit from the crushing volume I typically do has been paying off with just two training sessions. Again I have to say Working on grip strength was a key part of this.
Overall I started my workout at 12:40pm I got out by 1:40pm ( cardio 45 minutes tonight after im off work ) ran out of time but we don't make excuses and skip it we go back and get it done.
One way I will reach my goals and body is by sure will and having a committed mindset.
Enjoy the update everyone
