Super-set with alternating side curls

35 second chin-up

Never ceases to amaze me the disparity between how light the weight feels at first vs how quickly I tire out with incline bench. Last 2 sets had some ugly final reps, but I've made good progress on this lift. I would like to switch to dumbbells soon.

Noticing a pretty decent bicep peak developing from my regimen of side curls, prolonged single-rep chin-ups, and the weight gain. 

Work story: I was standing at my computer plugging away when the CEO's wife walks by me, looks in my mug, and goes, "What is that?" 
I answered "Eggs, bone broth, and kimchi." [Also egg whites.] 
"That looks disgusting."

She's a nice lady and meant it in jest, but I was surprised at how rude that was. Being in the iron game for a long time has made me take pride in doing and eating things normal people don't, though, so it was easy for me to laugh it off. - it's cool to be a freak. Plus, nobody at work gives me grief over how I eat when they come to me to lift heavy machines that nobody else in the company can budge. Additionally, I make these mugs so I can seamlessly consume my caloric needs without interrupting work for the good of her company.

Part of our business' product line are RTD shakes and some of those protein shakes are so nasty I don't understand how they sell. I'll take soup that tastes like eggy chicken noodle any day over Lean Body Vanilla.
