Big100 metrx protein bar for second meal,
8 whole scrambled eggs and two
slices toast for third meal, (125)(18 oz skim milk)(152)(3 ice cream bars)(158)
Big100 metrx protein bar for fourth meal,
190 grams protein
Another minimum day. Today should be better though. Ill be keeping protein around 300 most of the time. Since Im trying to get leaner as well as grow slowly, it may help to have the protein higher.

About to hit chest rehab and shoulders. Woke up too late to hit legs yesterday. Still holding at around 28. Left knee has had alot of pain, so if I dont make up for that session it wont effect anything. Ill consider throwing in a few sets of leg press in. Ill be burning to get the fuck out of the gym after this session though.
Chest rehab is just light shit to heal. Ill probably aim for 100x30 plus in my dropset with the flat bench dumbbell press. I was hitting them for 48 on incline, so the flat should catch up in the coming weeks.
For the overhead shoulder pressing portion. Maybe Ill aim for 450x10 on the hammer strength iso lateral shoulder press. With the nautilus overhead press I probably wont go up to 630 because it does irritate the chest too. The hammer strength is more isolated.
Another possibility is fucking around with dumbbell shoulder presses. Not sure where strength is at with them but maybe aim for 100sx20 if I do them. Ill get video of the main shit.

Chest rehab, Shoulders (overhead pressing), Rear Delts, Hamstrings
Light, Low volume, Leaning/Growth phase
Chest rehab went well today. Added 10 reps to the flat dumbbell presses with the 100's from last week. Strength comes up very quick for me. Should break 50 soon and possibly hit 60. I may be repping light weights for a long time. Possibly coming close to 100 reps with the 100s by the time I test my chest strength again.
This is the only way to hit failure now and its not worth popping that shit again. Just feels good to get blood in there and see the area filling back out again.
My strength is higher but Im not doing any of these lifts fresh. Its not a focus right now as Im just trying to grow and get leaner without destroying my joints for this phase.
My muscle endurance wasnt good with the 100 lb dumbbell shoulder presses and my neck didnt feel up to pressing 450 on the iso lateral shoulder press. Im happy with hitting the 100s for 37 and not feeling any real tendon pain in my chest though. That means the area is re-inforcing and has been getting stronger each week. Just have to keep my sets to 50 reps and shit like that, sometimes more or less reps.
I got in some leg curls as well. To make up for missing legs on sunday. Didnt hit the leg presses today. Ill see if I get them in on my shoulder only day. I will go in just to train db laterals most likely. Variations of those. I dont want to hit legs to close to my full leg day otherwise it just defeats the purpose, if knees are fucked up.
Strength is not back on the nautilus overhead press and shoulder pressing overall, as I only hit 14 with 540 and have hit 28. Though Id have more reps fresh for sure. So its difficult to say exactly where I am strength wise. Im just concerned with size and not putting on fat mass for now. Ill push strength but only within those limitations for now.
Bad headache by the end. Still dealing with fast pulse rate and getting winded quickly. Bad mucus forming in throat as well. Can cause issues with the acid. Will try to take something to dry it out. Throat sore too so may be getting sick.

Reps were high with all the barbell style grip sets, including the 320. This is good because my chest tendons usually get very tender with 270 and up lately. I didnt push any heavier, to play it safe for now. Sticking with high reps for chest for a while.
