Felt the last couple of reps of that last set.
not the most fun.
I'm feeling my progress slowing down, but really I'm still starting a new plan, so It's bound to plateau once I find more of a level.

So, there's no weight between the 35kg dumbbells and the 40's
I've found that the machine in the gym has a 75kg setting, so that's what I'll work with for now. I've found it's range of motion hard to deal with, but it's really just a stepping stone so I'll persevere.

Well bit of a disappointing performance on the push ups today, but I think it's fair to blame the upping of the weights from the bench.
I'm going to keep the reps as they are, and run a 'deload' next week before I change up the exercises.

"you basically want me to prove it....and i'll do it in my break, currently doing something"

So I was worried this 'deload' was going to be too easy and ruin my workout hahah
But going slow had it's own problems and it wasn't quite a walk in the park. Grip strength took a right hit on the pull ups :p

So, new week new exercises.
There's some weird ones here, and one I couldn't do as the pull up bar is too close to the ceiling to do a muscle up.
I swapped it for a dip on a straight bar.

So, today's was meant to be a shoulder routine, followed by the usual second circuit.
I completely failed to get the routine planned, so ended up doing a mix of 2 different ones that left me tired and confused :p

Also, from the deload week, I was concerned over my form with benching db.
So I've dropped the weight a bit to help focus.

Dumb bell Press (30kg): 1 x 5 reps
