Amazing workout!! Numbers up across the board. Had Carl spot me for last set of seated press, only need help on 6th rep. Started posing in between sets, and noticed major separation between 3 heads and traps, got the adrenaline kicked in and kept going as hard as I could. Did some posing afterwards, and was really excited to see some things starting to dial in. Ready to hit the last 8 weeks running hard to the finish!!

Decent workout, was in a different gym so ended up having to do hammer curls instead of rope curls. Focused on hitting brachialis as well as the biceps. Strength overall seems to be holding, some days I can lift more than others, and energy and endurance during the workout is still pretty good.
