I may try Jacked at some point. Other than some general supplements I've always enjoyed a good preworkout stim. I don't even take protein powder anymore. I just go to the grocery store and buy the large liters of pasteurized eggs. I'm not sure if you can stomach raw liquid eggs but its a very easy way to drink all your protein as calories. I'd be careful trying to make a shake out of raw eggs. I tried it before and it became way too thick.Comment

Shoulder is strained pretty good. Upper back pulled out on one side too. That is often the result of one side back training for me. The torque on my ruptured disks. Nothing that wont straighten out with some recovery time. Possibly take this week off completely or atleast from upper body, but will take it day by day.
Regardless its worth it to get my fuckin training fix. Nothing puts me in a more volatile mood then leaving the gym early.
By next week should be recovered enough.

Chest
Considering how fucked up my shoulder felt last week after those rows, and that I planned to take this week off, this was a good session. Very light but shoulders felt good starting off. Not too much pain, pretty smooth.
Thats the one benefit I notice when I take the first 3 days of the week off from training. Its just rare that I go through with it. More beneficial for better training but it comes down to that fucking vent.
225x39 on flat bench was not bad after the recent joint issues. Considering that with a spotter I am likely good for another 10+ reps easily (much more optimal position, no concern about failure just keep blasting shit), taking into account the joint issues (not too bad today, but I kept it light), considering that I have only been doing mainly flies for the last month or longer, very little pressing, and this is only maybe my 3rd time back benching in many months as well.
Now that I dont really give a fuck about pushing new numbers every session, like in the past, where it was my obsession, I can focus on building size, pumping the fuck out of everything with quality contractions, and new muscle growth. My mindset is very different now. It allows me to train better by not getting fixated on numbers and obsessed with failure of lifts, etc.
If I keep benching then will try to work up to 52 plus again, but without a spotter and in a much less optimal position. Which would mean Im a good deal stronger then when I did it in the past. As a point of refferance , the day I hit 225x52 was with a spotter, on superdrol, and that session I proceded to hit 275x30, 315x23, 340x12, 365x8 then 405x1. This was in a very similiar form what you see in the video, but more ballistic. I could really drop the shit on my chest and blast the positives back then, now my joints force me to do it much stricter. Either way I can adapt and get strong within that limitation. While I wont be testing my true strength anytime again soon, it gives me an idea of where my strength is at, without pushing those limits. Maybe in the future again at some point. Right now I just want to grow. :
