THT (G1 : W8 - Friday)
I'm officially up to 195 lbs. I'm hoping that once I lose this last bit of fat I'll round out near 205. From there on it's just maintenance.
As far as the workout goes, I went to failure every set today again, and my gains are really showing. I like doing half twists inward on the dumbbell chest presses for the last few reps and I can really feel the extra effort and muscle fiber recruitment. The only real anomaly was the increase in calf extensions on the second set, but I did rest for a pretty long time between those.
Also as a side note, I'm all for being comfortable with your body but "drying-my-balls-under-the-hand-dryer" comfort is a bit too comfortable for the locker room. Sometimes I think people just want a reaction. Weird. Very, very weird.
