I’ve been working out about 5 days a week at the gym, and have settled down to a routine. I’m alternating between 2-3 week phases of volume and “max-out” workouts. On alternating days, it’s 1) chest, biceps, abs; and 2) shoulders, back, triceps, abs.

I don’t think other people can see much progress – it definitely takes a while to get “bigger.” Personally, I can see some small changes, which is a good sign!

The main area that I hope to improve in is chest, measured via bench press. When I started three weeks ago, I maxed out around 120 (one rep). Now I can do 135 (more than one rep, haha), and 155 on the racked bench press. Let’s see where this takes me!

On the side, still cycling. 200+ miles a week in the mountains, but it’s really starting to get hot here in California. Might hit triple digits this weekend!
