So what? In my book, it's perfectly acceptable to push yourself heavier with 2 crazy sets of each exercise. I wouldn't feel annoyed or upset at all.
Record-setting shoulder day for me, today. I'm now back past what I was before getting injured. My gains are just ridiculous.
Warmups (arnold presses and regular db presses at light weight)
DB presses: 45 x 7, 45 x 6, 50 x 5, 50 x 5 (
50 is a PR on db presses for me)
Standing overhead presses: 45 x 10, 75 x 7, 100 x 7, 105 x 6, 115 x 5,
125 x 1 (PR), 115 x 6
Zemekone rear delt raises: 45 x 10 for 3 sets
Upright EZ-bar raises: this was either 75lbs or 85lbs (not sure if this EZ-bar is 25 or 35lbs) for 3 sets of 8,7,6
My hour was up and I was spent. PRs on DB press and overhead press was a nice thing. Funny thing is, I'm sore as sh*t from yesterday's back day. My lats are just aching and I was sure that was going to have a negative effect on my lifts. Guess it didn't.
I'm trying to figure out what can explain some of the crazy gains I'm seeing in the last couple/few weeks. Two main things have changed that could help explain it.
First, I've been a little more religious about my protein intake. I'm getting over 200g a day between shakes and solid food. I do 50g in my PWO shake and then have another 50g 30-40 minutes later for "breakfast."
Second, I've been taking NanoVapor. Now, I don't think it does a very good job of getting my psyched and energized. That said, I've had a lot of focus, increased intensity, and these gains; I don't know that NanoVap has anything to do with that.
Whatev. I'm just stoked to be growing. Now if only I could *shrink* in my gut and legs.
