CHEST/Biceps/Calve/Abs
My second workout at the new gym and it was INTENSE. I'm surprised that my strength is still going up considering I'm low carbs and doing extra cardio. Being in a new environment with new equipment has definitely been a great change. With 14 days left till my shoot I'm looking forward to getting back in front of the camera! I've never been in this type of condition before!

BACK/Stepmill
I have had a great start to my week with my workouts. Last week Monday and Tuesday I was feeling so drained and lethargic that I really didn't feel like training. This week is a totally different story. There is no comparison. Tonight I joined a new gym which is A LOT bigger and A LOT more equipment to use. I had an awesome back workout and I got to use some machines that I have not used in a LONG time.
- Seated One Arm Hammer Row - 4x6-12 2 drop sets on last set
- Reverse Grip Pulldowns superset Wide Grip Hammer Pulldowns (first time i've ever used this machine and it was great!) 3x8-12 2 dropsets on last set
- One Arm standing DB Rows - 3x10 (i used the 130's..my old gym only went up to 100's) one drop set on last set
- seated cable row superset hammer row machine (this is a different one than the first exercise) 2x15
- Stepmill - 20 minutes (finally getting to use my favorite piece of cardio equipment)
This was a great decision I made to join the new gym. I now feel I can take my physique to a new level with all of the extra equipment I have to use to shock my body!

Shoulders/Tricep/Bicep/Cardio/AB
Feeling drained and lethargic all day again I decided maybe my problem was my body needed more food. So at 4pm I decided to have some more carbs and it was almost instantly I started feeling better. Previous to this meal I kept debating whether or not to go to the gym or not. This to me is a sure sign of depletion. The extra carbs worked perfect and you will see tomorrow on my log everything I had. I got an amazing pump tonight which I have not been able to accomplish lately. With all the extra energy I decided to hit some arms as well to utilize the extra calories. My workout ended up being about 2.5 hours long.
