Oh Costco how I love thee.




So I went shopping at Costco and Walmart this weekend, and I just had to show you guys how my amex card melted in my hands. My fridge is filled with baked chicken breast, a case of egg whites, 3 dozen eggs, 12 tubs of fat free cottage cheese, and on my living room table i have 9 pounds of almonds, 3 pounds of walnuts, 100+ servings of oatmeal, 250 capsules of green tea extract, 250 capsules of one-a-day pills, and 12 pounds of protein. Granted this will last me for at least 2-3 months (especially when I start cutting and eating less), so I don't feel too bad about spending less than $200 on food and supplements. If you're thinking about bodybuilding (or just bulking in general), then Costco is definitely your best friend. Get a few buddies together, hop in a car (or minivan if you have one), and see how long you can resist the wholesale prices. I bet less than 3 minutes :)
In other news, I did my chest workout on Monday (dumbbell bench, incline dumbbell and flyes) and did all sets to failure. I'm glad I was able to beat my reps, and I have a decent amount of soreness in my pecs. Hopefully I can increase the weights next week. Today I did back (bent over rows, romanian deadlifts, lat pulldowns, shrugs and hypers) and was able to beat my reps. I'm struggling with the lat pulldowns (my grip tends to give out pretty quickly which makes me pause in my reps) but I'm glad to say I crushed my deadlifts :) Currently I can do reps of 115, and if I can get that as high as possible, I'll be on cloud nine. My lower back is killing me, but it lets me know I pushed myself and had an awesome workout. Hopefully I can hit 125 next week :)
That's all for now, I've got cardio in the morning (taking my green tea supplement beforehand to boost my metabolism) so hopefully I can jog off all this soreness. Goodnight all :)
