Begin...The Rest is Easy

Just ended up doing core, grillling, and a lot of walking yesterday. First really nice day of the year.

Did some DC style work this morning following the template laid out in this link (shared by @T3hPwnisher) How to Build 50 Pounds of Muscle in 12 Months

Slight incline db bench: 100 x 14 (8,4,2)

Plate loaded shoulder press: 180 x 21 (12,5,4)

Tri overhead: 80 x 21 (12,4,5)

Wide lat pulldown: 230 x 20 (12, 5,3)

Chest supported row: 70 x 12,11

I liked the rest pause stuff, definitely felt like hard work. Kind of awkward with dumbbells, definitely need to read more than just that article and probably need to reread that a few times to get the patterns and rests fully ingrained. Going to do a mini blast for 2 weeks until vacation then start a full one a few days after I get back. Really appreciated having some structure in the gym, instead of saying “nah rows sound awful I’ll just hit some biceps” I had the model to hold me accountable.
