Log of Peace - My Aesthetic Journey to The Peak of Mt. Olympus

Sometimes i don't even music, just noise.
Fuarkkkkkk

Stomach playing up a bit today, really didn't feel like it would go well doing legs so i decided to do shoulders instead.

DB press 27.5kg 8 8 8 - The sessions of 30s last week helped me hit this? Maybe. (incase delvis is wondering, i used 20kg dumbells per arm with 7.5kg of sugar in a bag taped to my calves which i placed above my head and raised at the same time)
Arnold press 20kg 8 8 8 - Holy deep burn :D
DB front raise 10kg 8 8 7
Cable side raise 14kg 8 8 7 - used a different cable machine, no way it's the same 14kg as on the other one, felt twice as heavy :eek:

BW dips 8 6 6 - Left shoulder felt ****ed
Rope pulldown 36kg 8 8 7 - Again, way way heavier than the other cable i swear
Bar pushdown 50kg 8 7 5 - "

Calve raises supersetted with/without weight until pain was too great

Already got doms, walking tomorrow may be an issue.

I have no idea what happened today but everything felt so much easier than last week.

Forgot to weigh myself this morning pre breakfast so i'll do it tomorrow. Don't expect to have gone up as much as last time because my diet towards the end of last week was a bit sloppy.

And i'm ****ed off because i took a vid to grab pics from because i looked joocy and it came out like this

looking thick solid tight etc
 

So i didn't update on Tuesday. My back noped out on squats and put me on quite a downer amongst other things. I can't really describe it, it basically just felt like too much pressure on my lower back (lordosis + added weight?, i don't know) so i'm just going to stop trying them until i can get it seen to properly but who knows when that might be. Deads idk, may or may not keep working on them, although not this week.

So tuesday pretty much just turned into a triceps only workout which was actually cool, didn't bother writing any of it down though.

Yesterday i weighed in a bit under 176lbs which put me close to 2lbs up in 9-10 days again. So i think i'm going to lower cals a bit as there isn't much point gaining that fast even if i don't feel or look like i get fatter. Might drop to ~3000 and see how that goes.

Shoulders today:

Didn't want to try get overly heavy DBs up just to be on the safe side so went for a bit higher reps.

DB Press 25kg 12 11 11
Arnold Press 20kg 8 8 8
DB Shrugs 35kg 8 8 8
Front raises 20kg plate 8 8 7
Cable side raises 14kg 12 11 9


Motivation is non existent right now because of various ****, times like this training alone really blows
 
-No idea delvis. I think my bar positioning is quite high as it is.
-Will do next week brahski.


Back day was weird today, had to go out early this morning so i had breakfast earlier than usual. Gym was at normal time though so i was pretty hungry. (and i forgot my ****ing chalk, goodnight sweet palms) Just wasn't really feeling it till about mid way through.
