Congrats on tying the knot! Very cool!
I'm definitely feeling stronger, taking a minute rest between sets and increasing weight more. Dips with 35-45 lbs (i remember when 45 was nothing), and over head dumbbell tricep press with 95 lbs (the heaviest my gym has).
My chest i've been sticking to incline dumbbell flys and machine flys and upright incline machine press. This approach has kept my chest more cut and not so big. My chest gets disproportionally (in my mind) big, so I don't bench much, but considering incline dumbbell press again
.
With bulking i'm less thirsty - so less water weight - i think - because today i'm down to 193 lbs. But i skipped lunch yesterday and for me that's all it takes to drop lbs.
