Fitting in a workout at a foreign gym. Missing a lot of equipment I usually use and crowded, I was just happy to get in and move some iron after completely missing yesterday.

Chest


Bench press: 95x12/10/12/12
Incline DB press: 80x10, 60x10/10
Cable crossover: 50x12/12

Shoulders


Upright barbell row: 45x15/15/15

Shoulders were complaining on the flat bench so I had to go light and high reps. Despite that, the pain in my shoulder was intense enough that I had to back off. That demoralized me a bit, combined with the missing equipment and overflowing facility. My head and heart just weren't in it today. I managed to suck it up, go through the motions, and get a decent chest workout in. Shoulders, not so much.

Leg Day tomorrow, schedule permitting.

Stay Strong, Steemians! :)
