DAY 1 — PUSH WORK
CHEST | SHOULDERS | TRIS

Came in a bit earlier than normal and got the engine warm, light cardio, a few rounds of 20 push‑ups, and mobility between sets, stretching chest out to wake everything up. Been eyeing some new gear lately specifically the Mikolo leg extension machine and I’m real close to pulling the trigger...... Quads about to get their own storyline once that thing lands ! Until then, I’m squeezing every ounce out of what’s here.

Dumbbell Bench Press
5 × 12–18
Rolled into the 60s expecting the usual grind… and ended up blowing past it. Hit 20 clean without losing form. Strength is trending in the right direction.

Incline Dumbbell Flyes
4 × 10–14
Kept it light at 15 lbs and chased that deep stretch. By the later sets the squeeze slowed, but the reps stayed honest. Brick and mortar progress.

Triceps Rope Pushdowns
4 × 10–15
65 lbs today. Instead of chasing high reps, I pushed the load and still knocked out 15. Tris were dialed in and growing.

Cable Lateral Raises
4 × 12–18
Cross‑cable setup — front, rear, and mid‑delts all getting cooked. Only 10 lbs, but perfect isolation makes it feel like double. Never let the traps jump the show.

Seated Overhead Dumbbell Press
5 × 8–12
Bench nearly vertical, 30s in hand. Switched the angle again and it paid off. Last set hit 9 before the wall showed up.

OVERALL NOTES
Everything clicked today...joints felt good, strength was steady, and the tempo stayed controlled. No wasted reps, no ego lifting, just clean execution. Gear upgrades are coming, but the discipline is already here. TEAM USP doesn’t wait for perfect conditions.....we build under whatever’s in front of us.

TEAM USP stays rising.

TEAM USP — DAY 2 PULL LOG
Back • Biceps • Rear Delts

Kicked things off with the usual 25 minutes on the treadmill, heart rate locked in at 125–135. Nothing goofy, nothing over‑engineered — just warming up the engine like a normal human instead of a lab experiment.

Bent‑Over Barbell Rows
40 lbs — 12, 12, and 14.
Volume creeping up, weight feeling lighter, groove officially locked in. Love when the body finally syncs with the plan.

Lat Pulldowns (Wide + Unilateral)
95 on the stack.
Wide grip landing in that 16–18 rep pocket, then 20+ on the unilateral work before the burn said “that’s enough.”
Elbow‑to‑hip cue stays undefeated.

Seated Cable Rows
110 lbs — 12, then 15 and 15 after actually giving myself the full 90 seconds.
Patience really is a cheat code.

Face Pulls
30 lbs × 20.
Metal Friday courtesy of GNR. Chest up, rope to the forehead, rear delts lit like a Christmas tree.

Seated Cable Dumbbell Curls
85 felt clean.
Set one: 11 slow, controlled reps.
Set five: 6 full reps + 6 partials.
Failure achieved, mission accomplished.

Pullovers
60 lb dumbbell, bench sideways.
3 × 20, slowed the last set down to open everything up.

Next Meso Thoughts
Might toss in a high‑rep straight‑arm pulldown finisher.
Or swap curls for a hammer + reverse combo to hit that brachialis harder.
Could even drop one curl variation to keep the session tighter — volume is already stacked.
Input from the crew always welcome.

Bodybuilding Talk
Arnold chatter is getting wild.
Everyone dropping Hadi.
Nick looking like he’s bringing that Pittsburgh fullness.
Andrew… something feels a little off.
And with the full rosters now posted, this show is shaping up to be one of those “anything can happen and probably piss me off” years.
Classic Arnold chaos.

Closing Notes
Feeling good today even with all the snow outside. Momentum’s rolling. Tomorrow’s going to be a great day.
TEAM USP stays undefeated — always pushing, always leveling up, always showing up for the crew.

Another day in the books. More to come.

TEAM USP Day 3: Legs, Calves & Abs
“Legs loaded, abs burning, and the bodybuilding world buzzing.”

Rolled into Day 3 feeling that cooked-but-dangerous energy, low sleep, high drive, and that appointment today have the monitor to wear then a sleep study to get everything dialed in. Meanwhile the whole bodybuilding scene is spiraling over whether C‑Bum is actually coming back to Classic. Man retires and the internet refuses to let him stay retired. Icon behavior.

Here’s how today’s session went down.

Leg Press
Started with a shock opener — 6 plates, shoulder-width stance, toes slightly in. Paused at the top and bottom.
4 sets of 12, 60–90 sec rest. Legs woke up instantly.

Cable Crunches
40 lbs on the stack. Rib cage down, spine arched, hips pulling in.
Old rib made itself known but stayed manageable. Pure control.

Romanian Deadlifts
140 lbs, loosened up the lower back, hit 10 reps on the first set.
Dropped to 8 reps on sets 3 & 4 to keep fuel in the tank. Hamstrings lit up.

Calf Raises
135 lbs on a 2-inch box heels hanging off, deep stretch, full squeeze.
Slow tempo. No mercy. Calves were screaming.

Hanging Leg Raises
4 strict sets with 5–10 lbs on the feet.
Zero rib irritation, always a win. Abs cooked.

Smith Machine Squats
Closed the session with 225 on the Smith. Neutral stance, smooth and controlled.
Set 1: 8
Set 2: 10
Sets 3 & 4: matched it again. Reps are creeping up soon.

Notes of the Day
Rest day tomorrow and carbs are going HIGH. Tank’s getting refilled.
Body’s earned it. Mind’s earned it. Wings incoming.

TEAM USP stays locked in and leveling up every day. You can too! Come check us out!
