Chest day with excuses. I had a bunch of injections the other day and my shoulder has swollen right up and aches like a bitch!

Flat bench: 1*12 60kg, 4*5 80kg, 1*10 80kg (with spot)

Dips, wide grip leaning forward ones (don't know the name): 4*10
 
Those tren gains bro :p

You got me - and I was being so subtle! :p

Crazy doing them then.

I've had a spinal fusion, given up totally on squats and deadlifts now.

If my form's good there's no problem - it's when pushing 1 rep maxes and the core starts to give up that things get hairy. Normal training is fine. So far!

Squats and deads today:

Squats: 1*10 60kg, 1*8 80kg, 1*5 100kg, 1*2 120kg, 1*1 130kg, 1*1 135kg (pb!), failed twice on 140kg. Legs felt ok but back was threatening to give. Next time!
Deads: 1*8 80kg, 1*8 100kg, 1*8 120kg, 4*5 150kg, 5*5 100kg reverse grip
Stiff leg deads: 3*8 60kg, 1*8 80kg, 1*3 100kg - core starting to go so ducked out.
 
Shoulders/traps day

Military press: 1*5 60kg, 5*5 65kg (needed spot), 1*5 60kg (needed spot)
Lateral dumbell raises: 5*(1*10 18kg, 1*10 8kg)
Inclined high dumbell rows into rear dealt raises: 5*(1*10 32 kg, 1*10 12kg)
Paused shrugs: 5*(1*8 34kg, 1*8 24kg)
Half snatches? (don't know the name): 3*40 kg
Dicking about with light weights to failure
 
Off on hols for a few weeks soon so will be double gyming for the next few days to try and make up for it!

Triceps:

Weighted dips/body weight: 5*(1*8 30kg, 1*8 bodyweight)
Skull crushers: 5*5 30kg
Pushing down on the assisted pullup machine (no idea what to call this, but I love it!): 5*5 45kg
Pushdowns, one arm into rope: 5*(1*10 5kg, 1*10 20kg)

Biceps after work ..
 
An hour of biceps after work with a friend. Super sets chained together. I can't move my arms now. Never do an hour of biceps.
 
Super happy with today - dead pb!

Muscle ups: 5*5
Deads: 1*10 80kg, 1*8 120kg, 1*5 140kg, 1*3 160kg, 1*1 170kg, 1*1 180kg (pb), 1*1 190kg (got cocky - didn't budge a mm :) )
Lat pushdowns: 5*5 40kg
 
Haha grats on the Pee Bee. Your increments are probably a little too close together for a solid PB attempt to be fair, 190 should be doable.

I think you're right mate. It wasn't an intestinal pb - just felt strong at the time :) Not sure about 190kg tho - it could have been cemented to the ground and I wouldn't have noticed the difference!

Leg maintenance day.

Squats: 1*12 60kg, 1*10 80kg, 1*8 100kg, 5*5 115kg, 1*12 80kg
Reverse lunges: 1*20 60kg, 2*20 70kg

Chest after work ..

Chest went ok last night:

Flat bench: 1*8 60kg, 1*8 70kg, 1*8 80kg, 1*5 90kg (trying to get used to the weight. needed spot for last two), 2*3 90kg (needed spot for last rep on both) 1*6 85kg (needed spot for last 2)
Incline bench: 5*8 60kg (needed a spot for a few)
Incline bench, dumbells. Not sure the name of this - one arm, the other arm, then both is one rep: 6*24kg (needed a spot at the end)
Cable flys, high and low: Various weights to failure.


The current plan is to add 20kg to deads, bringing them to 200kg, and 10kg to squats and bench, bringing them to 110kg and 145kg respectively. Then the glory of the 1000lb club will be mine! It doesn't seem impossible anymore, but a good way off still ..

I'm miles away from a 170kg squat mate - 135 is my pb - and time will tell if a 200kg is possible! 180 went up well enough. I need to put on some mass - still struggling to get beyond 72kg bodyweight.


Back day and last session for a few weeks as off on hols!

Wide grip pullups: 5*8 bodyweight
Single arm pulldowns with a twist at the bottom (?): 4*8 30kg
Lifting the bar up between the legs rows (don't know the names of any of these!): 1*10 60kg, 3*8 80kg
Incline dumbbell rows: 4*(1*10 30kg, 1*10 16kg)
