Did another push day today. I wanted to do heavy straight sets on incline today after a couple weeks of myo-reps to see where I stood. I felt tired. More like fatigued still from heavy volume the last 1.5 weeks and probably should've taken another day off, but I'd already committed to hitting the gym. Warmups didn't feel great and my R shoulder was bothersome. Weird because it hasn't been giving me any problems lately. Anyway, I only went up to 80#DB's and that was the right weight. Was hoping for 4x8 and didn't quite get it. Happy with the effort though.

After that I did iso shoulder press and then hammered chest with iso chest press and iso incline. Iso chest did bother my shoulder (unlike at the beach using their iso machine), but incline felt good. I think I'll stick with the incline going forward. Fly's were pretty good. I'm liking doing leg raises again after hitting crunches. Maybe I should reverse this order though to hit lower abs first. Finished up with some cheat rope pusdowns (felt awesome!) and some lateral delts.  Very good WO despite being a little disappointed in incline. I'm hoping I haven't lost that strength, but I have been cutting/maintaining for a lot of months w/o really giving my body time to make any progress.  So, it's really been a game of trying to hold onto strength while staying fairly lean and I may just be losing the battle finally.

Nutrition:
I weighed 175.2 this morning. Dropped more than I thought I would, but I was really bloated the last 2 mornings from eating a lot of late night
carbs.
