- After reviewing yours and your trainers weekly workout, I adjusted mine to shake things up for the home stretch. Used to start the week with chest and shoulders, but on the new plan yesterday did shoulders and upper back...
...needless to say much more strength in the shoulder press when it doesn't follow heavy incline and flat dumbbell work.
4 sets of shoulder press - 10x75x3. Would have loved to go up to 85 or 90, but no spotter around to help with the start.
- With that in mind, think I'm going to highlight one muscle group every other week, so that it gets sole attention. The other 3 lifting days 2-3 muscle groups are paired.
- Diet is dialed-in with 4 meals from 7a-7p @ 220ish g protein, 110g carbs, 90g fats. Complex carb make up the bulk of that macro with fruits and vegetables - only allowing myself half a sweet tater a day or 2oz rice for simple carbs.
Seems between healthy fats and simple carbs, my body prefers and efficiently processes the healthy fats (makes sense).
- Strictly coffee for pre-workout. 1 cup prior, two after the gym. Dash of heavy whipping cream and honey before the workout for carb spike.
- Second the plunge / sauna benefits. Been religiously hitting them up and the discomfort in my lower left sciatic has noticeably improved. If you're interested in a plunge but not sure it's worth the cost or the treasury department won't allocate funds, highly recommend using your bathtub and bags of ice to at least see if you'll use it.

Zbiotics is going to get a trial run before the Bahamas this Thurby. No pressure!
