After a couple days completely off from the gym, most of the soreness has disappeared from my bod. I was active, helping family move on Sunday, but didn’t spend any time even soaking at the gym. My quads are still a tad sore up by the hips, but the rest of me was feeling fit and strong today.

I was stoked to lift chest today. Eager to see if I was indeed getting stronger, or if last week just happened to be a good chest day. Turns out I AM getting stronger! I was able to do two sets of decline presses with 180 pounds for reps this week, as opposed to just one set last week. It felt great to be able to press some serious poundage. I blasted chest with six sets of decline presses and then five sets of cable flyes. I was able to go a bit heavier on the flyes too, adding another set of reps to my initial 60 pound starting weight, before needing to drop down to 50 for the rest of the five sets. I finished off with some twists and a soak and called it a day.
