Journey Back to The Stage

Some great workouts in here mate.

What are these negatives you speak of? do you mean starting with a weight and doing say 10 reps, then going up in weight and doing 8, then going up and doing 6 etc?
 
Negatives are concentrating on the negative part of the movement.

So on bench press for example, I'll quite often to a set where I do as many normal reps as I can, when I reach failure, I'll get a spotter to help with the positive part of the movement (getting the weight up), then concentrate on the negative. Trying to lower the weight as slowly as I can, sometimes with the spotter pushing down on the weight so to add more resistance

Brilliant thing to do. Won't get a pump like it
 
Another less than ideal session today. Eating and lack of fluids meant it wasn't the best

Thursday: Quads/Calves

Single Leg Leg Press - 100kg x15, 100kg x15, 150kg x10x2, 180kg x10
Squats - 100kg x10x2, 120kg x6x2, 100kg x8
Walking Lunges - BW x30, 32kg x16, 36kg x16
Calf Raises - 70kg x15x5
Bodyweight Superset (Toes Forward/Toes In, Toes Out) - BW x10/10/10x3

So yeah, legs were absolutely ruined after squats, quite pleased with the weight given the volume on leg press before hand. Still, something didn't quite feel right and I can only hope that's a bit of dehydration.

Week off is going to be most welcome next week
 
Still not a bad session there!

Keep at it, to be honest, this is just an unfortunate blip, but it won't take long to get back into it, I'd imagine. So long as you're working as hard as you can, you can't expect more than that, and hopefully it'll improve soon!

Just a quick thing, know diet, uhm, good oil is Impossible to find (but I'm persisting), and, bagels, I have whatever the closest to wholemeal is I could find. They're the right colour, have wholemeal wheat in the ingredients, but have normal wheat as well, oh and are officially seeded...

Good Oil is in Tesco, Sainsburys or Waitrose. It's even in the small Tescos (the metros), as I often pick it up from one next to the gym if I'm out. Don't worry too much, Wholemeal is ideal but it's not the end of the world. Just try and source them for next time
 
Friday: Shoulders/Back Width

Lateral Raises - 10kg x15x2, 14kg x10, 16kg x10
DB Press - 26kg x10, 30kg x10x2

Machine Press - 50kg x10, 65kg x10x2
Front Raises - 20kg x10x2
Lat Pulldown - 55kg x15x2, 65kg x10, 75kg x10
Close Grip Pulldown - 60kg x10x3

Week off this week :) feel like I need it too, couple of niggling aches and pains in my back and my hamstrings are feeling really tight for some reason

So might just do some mobility work in the evenings. Going to get the foam roller out too
