Very honest there and very strong for getting yourself out of the dark place you were in Freefaller; sometimes a break is great just to remember who you are and what you want to do. The Human spirit and it's grit and determination can almost make mountains move if you see what I mean.
When I was less consistent, I would find that sometimes a few weeks would pass with no work at the gym, and sometimes this break would make my lifts stronger but other times it would actually make things worse. No real excuse though in my case, just not in the mindset.
Today I did some Chest and Triceps work, I went a little ballistic unfortunately though (sorry guys), form was very good though:
Oly Bench Press - in place of Incline as I have been doing inclines for a while:
60kgx8, 60kgx8, 60kgx8 and just for fun, 1RM @ 80kg, 1RM @ 80kg (quite pathetic really, but I've been meaning to give this a try).
BW Dips: +5kg x12, +10kg x8, +15kg x8.
Suspended rope work: Elevated pressups - 3 sets of 8.
Fixed Barbell CGBP : 45kgx8, 45kgx8, 45kgx8.
Rope Pushdowns: 24kgx6, 21kgx8
Cable Crossover: I did these in place of flys, just for a change, 2 sets of 8, @10kg per side.
9kg Medicine Ball Crunch throw Two sets of these, as fast as possible. I think I managed 12 first time and 8 the second time, but it's a little ab work.
Rowing machine: 5 mins worth, bit of HIIT but I was quite tired at this point.
Then Steam Room and Shower.
Not a completely shocking work out and a little varied from last time. I intentionally dropped the weight by 5kg on the Fixed Barbell CGBP because of the other work I did, then I realised it was too light...but the Fixed Barbells don't go any higher than this. Wanted to do some core work, so the pressups and medicine ball seemed like a good idea at the time. A bit annoyed that I didn't manage 8 on the rope pushdowns though.
I'm currently 77kg, so no weight gains as of late.
Have I completely wrecked the workout though I wonder?
Kind regards,
David
