Modify and make time for the gym

As Arnold said “ The greatest feeling you can get in a gym or the most satisfying feeling you can get in the gym is the pump. Let’s say you train your biceps, blood is rushing in to your muscles and that’s what we call the pump. Your muscles get a really tight feeling like your skin is going to explode any minute and its really tight and its like someone is blowing air into your muscle and it just blows up and it feels different, it feels fantastic. It’s as satisfying to me as cumming is, you know, as in having sex with a woman and cumming.”

God damn it, I want to go lift again

Missed a week and a half of benching and I was down 5 lbs on 4A.

Flat: 230x8, 235x8, 235x7, 235x7
Incline DB Pullovers: 90x8, 95x8, 100x8
Wide Grip Upright Rows: 90x8, 100x8x2
Machine Lateral Raise: 110x8, 120x8x 130x8
Machine Shoulder Press: 110x8, 120x8, 130x8

I was hoping to move up to 245 on Flat for 8 but taking a 10 day break slightly affected my lifts.

Hoping to get to 250-255x8 by the end of this 6 week program.
