Too busy to log but this is still on. Week 4 last week was better than weeks 1-3.

This week is week 5.

Monday was chest and back:
Incline DB press - 2x17.5kg; 10,10,10,10,10,7,7,7,7,7
Barbell Row - 30kg; 10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10

DB pullovers - 20kg; 10,10,10

Some band pull aparts and light DB rear raises.

Let the blog slip but more importantly finished all 6 weeks of GVT which I'm really pleased with, having never done any real volume with weights before.

Definitely feel better physically but it's the mental side that I think has benefitted most - I've proved I can face out 100 squats and see it out.

Now just need to decide what's next - might go back to a full body workout 3 days per week and at 8-10 rep range, for the next 6-8 weeks.

Well done! I can imagine the mental side was quite a battle. If you're after a programme , the one Dreamforger made and I stole (in both our logs) keeps me very interested through the month.
