Strong Like Bull

As quoted by my boy and training partner Dominick, " I don't know how the hell you stay that strong when you diet." Sometimes neither can I, I had my first cheat meal on Sunday which consisted of 5 sushi rolls, and some brownies, so I figured my leg workout would be off the chains. As 7pm rolled around as I entered the gym I felt tired and lethargic and I knew it was from the carbs because they had been scarce in my body for over 14 days. I felt like shit had a headache but had to get my thoughts together because every workout counts dieting or not. I wanted to squat heavy but knew that 500lb squats weren't in the routine that day, so this is what I did.
Warm up with 2 sets of extensions
Leg extensions-120x15, 160x15, 180x12, 200x10
Squats-405x8, 405x8, 405x8, 315x12
Hack squats-225x12, 315x10, 405x8, 405x6
Walking db lunges-4 sets with 40lb db's

Now, today, I felt good, I slept like a baby last night, shoulder was feeling great and I was ready to blast chest. On the way to the gym I told Dom that I hadn't done db flat bench in awhile, so as I always do I planned in my head what I wanted to do for chest and this is what I devised for chest today.
DB flat press-100x12, 110x12, 120x10, 130x10
DB flat flys-40x12, 45x10, 50x10
DB incline press-110x12, 120x10, 130x8, 100 x failure
DB incline flys-40x12, 45x10, 50x10
Cable cross overs-2 sets x failure

So, tomorrow is my off day and I will be up dating my site, I am putting on some recent pics and two videos of me squatting 500lbs. Be sure to check it out.
LIGHT WEIGHT IS FOR LIGHT PEOPLE!
