Day 2

Today is day 2 of my new diet and exercise program.  I actually only need around 250 grams of protein.  If you want to gain muscle mass quickly, I've been told to eat 1.5 grams of protein per pound of body weight daily.  I currently weigh 162 so 240-250 grams of protein will be ideal.  My legs hurt from yesterday, luckily today will be a chest and triceps day, which doesn't need too much legs.  I also hate the taste of my new pre workout.  It gives me great energy and focus, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone with a weak stomach.  It's pretty awful tasting and hard to stomach.

Today we started of with a small pyramid of bench press.  We did 3 sets and went up each set.  Our second exercise was incline dumbbell press.  We did 4 sets and on the last one was a drop set.  Our third exercise was seated decline chest press.  We did 3 sets of those.  Our 4th exercise was cable crossovers, which is probably my favorite chest exercise because I get the best stretch and squeeze from it. Everyone is different and their bodies react differently to exercises...  Mike likes bench press.  The final chest exercise was pec dec which we focused on really slow negatives.  For triceps we just did bench dips and machine dips.  Most of the rep ranges are 6-8 and 8-10 and will be for most of the next 12 weeks.    Tomorrow is a rest day and I'm pretty happy about that because my legs are tore up...
