BIG Back-to-Back Upper Body Weeks

I posted recently about doing a LOT of upper body sets last week - hitting 23 sets (with extra sets for forearms and 2 extra sets for lats and shoulders as well).

Well I kept that going last week as well! I set a new PR for a 2-week stretch of upper body workouts. Back in 2021, I had a 2 week stretch with 20 and 22 sets, and these past 2 weeks I did 23 and 22 sets! And not included in those set counts last week were some "extra" sets for 3 different muscle groups too - that count of 23 and 22 sets are sets I did for EVERY muscle group, when it's been common over the last year to do an extra set for a muscle or 2 about once/week at the end of a workout.

TUESDAY I did 8x everything at the gym and then 2 extra sets for bi/tri. THURSDAY I biked to the gym and did 7x everything. And then SATURDAY I did 7 circuit-like sets for everything, as well as an extra set for my forearms at the end.

Like I said in last week's weight lifting post, it's not surprising that I had 2 big weeks here as we just got back from Mexico (see my "workouts in Mexico" post and some family photos from Mexico post) as I tend to shoot for a bigger week after a crappier week. And now this week is going to be a bit smaller as well, so these last 2 weeks were a nice intense push between 2 smaller weeks!
