Sorry for the break, I have been a little busy between work and life and the quad injury. The injury is doing much better and I will be doing a light leg workout tomorrow to see how well my leg can adapt to the weights.

Last night I did chest and triceps, had a great workout and hit some new numbers on bench. I think I could have gone higher but I was using a crapy bench the involved a lot more effort on balancing than was really necessary. Anyway, here are the numbers.

Flat Bench
Set 1 135lbs warm-up 15 reps
set 2 195lbs 12 reps
set 3 225lbs 6 reps
Set 4 245lbs 3 reps

Incline Dumbbell
Set 1 65lbs 12 reps
Set 2 70 lbs 5 reps (should have done a lot more but the bench slipped down to a flat bench mid lift and the scare, and strain on my shoulders was too much)

Single Arm Reverse Curls
Set 1 35lbs 12 reps
Set 2 35lbs 8 reps

Just a side note, my diet has slipped a bit, I have been eating a lot more carbs than I want to but damnit sometimes you just want to eat a potato or three. Anyway, my total caloric intake is up to a little above 5000, I will be fixing that this weekend. Also, been eating a couple of protein bars a day to help keep protein intake high. I am not a big fan of protein bars for a couple of reasons, one being that they are high in sugar and two most bars use soy protein as their protein base and I don't recommend soy for any healthy male. Anyway, I have found a few bars high in protein, low in sugars and with no soy. They taste like crap but so does half the stuff I eat anyway.

I will be hitting back and biceps tonight and will be posting again soon.
