I felt like the HULK right off the bat today!
You can follow my daily updates here on Geek2Freak, and you can follow my overall weekly recaps every Sunday at FitBuff.com.
Also, for my daily updates from before this blog was born, check here: Personal Daily Workout Log (June 4, 2007 - July 17, 2008).
(I recommend perusing October 2007 and the following several weeks, as those were especially turbulent times, including major jaw surgery, being wired shut, and losing nearly 20 pounds in 7 days!)

Workout Journal Notes
I felt really strong right off the bat on Close-Grip Incline Bench Presses, and my shoulder pain was completely gone, not even a slight twinge.
I started with 145 pounds for the first 2 sets, but I felt so good, that I increased to 155 for the last 3 sets.
I’ll be doing my low-intensity cardio again tomorrow for the 3rd week in a row, since it seems to be working so well.
