FF's trying to get back on the wagon training

You've had injury issues with your shoulders? Si?

Hopefully you don't take this the wrong way, but it's nice to know that sometimes even you have issues staying motivated! Great to see you getting back into it though!

Good luck!

Those dead lifts are incredible though!

Jawohl! :(

Rugby injury, and a few mishaps later + surgery = shoulders less powerful than they should be. Sorry... they're powerful, just not as strong as they should be.

I'm only human. :( Life gets to me sometimes - but the gym helps be back into life.

I just need to get there - I'm actually a pretty lazy person by nature.
 
Boom, deadlift/10!

That looks disgusting, even the idea of doing 10 rep pulls makes me want to blow chunks. Either way great work man!

Also an appropriate amount of pulling, how refreshing to see ;).
 
All this posturing Will, I'm beginning to wonder if you're compensating for something :p

Edit:
On a more serious note, still a brilliant work out and some brilliant numbers there. You not a fan of higher reps for pull ups?
 
34 reps of pull ups is pretty high volume no?

I'd rather do a quality set with no swinging, jerking, and get my chin over. Chins I can do a lot more, I may well in next week go up to 6 reps. It's still a lot of volume. Bear in mind after a relatively heavy dead session it's rather hard! :p
 
Day 6

Ugh Shoulders again :(

Y,T,Ws, Facepulls, and internal & external rotation warm ups as well as usual mobility work before this workout.

OHP - 3rep day:

Warmup sets x2

Working sets:

47.5x3
55x3
60x6 - really hard work, the last rep took about 17 minutes to go up.

Cable Side Raises

7.5x6
7.5x8
7.5x8
7.5x8

DB Single arm snatch

38
40
42
46
50

Happy with that though was starting to struggle.

DB Seated Press - no backrest:

Thought I'd better work on a bit of isolated strength development - db push press is great for balance and technique, but I did snatch today so thought this would be a better choice.

20x6
22x6
24x6
26x6 (starting to get messy)

Leg raises

I need to work on my shoulders - it almost feels as though there's something physically stopping them from developing. I know it's down to my injury and without surgery I doubt I'll get far. However, I'm going to persevere! This is my most hated exercise/body part ever. Don't mind clean and press, push press etc... just pure shoulder work - gay.
 
Day 8

3 rep squat day.

Squat:

Bar x lots
60x10
60x10

Working sets:

100x3
115x3
130x11 (form started to go towards the end, hit depth each time, but wasn't in a squat rack so had to try my best to get the bar back up!)

Dropset 60x20 - ouch!

Walking DB Lunges

15x6
17.5x6
20x6
22.5x6
25x6

Bulgarian Split Squats

17.5x6
20x6
22.5x6

Landmine rotations

4x10
 
Day 9

Hard work - lots of volume with drop sets today. Felt weak - absolutely shattered at the moment, and not really feeling up for it. However, I'm still at the gym and keeping on with it. However, I'm comfort eating a lot. Ah well... it's winter time...

Bench Press

Warmup sets:

Bar x lots
60 x 12

Working sets:

80x5
92.5x3
102.5x8

Dropset 60x14 only just! :o

Dips

BWx5
10x5
20x5
30x5
40x4 - so so close to getting that 5th

DS - BWx12 - messy last rep

Alternating DB Incline bench

28x6
28x5
28x5

Really struggled with finish these presses - fatigued beyond belief.

Harder than a teenager's willy after looking at his first porn mag (which he probably found in the woods.)

I want your dips :(

Lost a bit of definition - but lost a bit of weight too. Not really looking beastly - but at least I'm training and keeping at it.
 
I'm not a number chaser. I'm a beat myself chaser. If I feel I've done a good session and tried my best that's all I'm after. Nothing worse than not pushing yourself enough and feeling rubbish for it. Even if I fail as long as I give it my best shot. That's all I want. Oh and minimise injury!!
