Did chest last night... I had to lower the weight, as I am really focusing to be sure that form is correct. Felt good. Had some trouble keeping the shoulder blades tucked in (my shoulders are really broad, and the blades hang off the bench otherwise). Once I got it down, I could feel more work in the chest and not the shoulders... thanks for the tip Mighty Mouse. Ate clean, need to get more protein I think.. only got 272 g. protein in... and 224 carbs. I need to get more protein.. I just felt like I was eating non stop.
Need to get bigger dumbbells, and figure something out for dips... I work out at home, so things can be a challenge at time.
Strange thing happened this morning.. I noticed my arms... lol. They actually have a shape other than just flabby now... nothing great, but visual signs of progress are always good. Tonight is arms and abs. I love arms days... not sure why... maybe cause I can start to see veins stick out a little when I do it.. lol.
Some good advice from folks on squats for tomorrow, I think I am going to go for no pad.. don't know why.. but for some reason it just looks right. I might take Tae Kwon Do guys advice and use a towel till traps are big enough to cushion.

Change in plans, leaving for New Orleans at about 230am tonight/tomorrow morning. Will do Arms/Abs tonight, and the squats will have to wait till I get back.... Visiting my folks, the trip was planned, but the timeline got moved up... I should have no problem eating clean there... maybe one cheat meal... taking my tub of protein and mrp packets. lol.
