Question, any of you notice that one arm tends to build muscle faster than the other?.

My triceps on my right arm are noticably bigger than my left (when tense/pumped), does it sort out on it's own after time?- or should I add in some left arm isolation to bring it upto speed.

Cheers!

it sorts itself out m8 if you get to the point where in single arm exercises your right is too strong and left cant keep up go for very heavy 2 arm variations for a bit. By the time you are any real size it will be negligible

Missed Monday's session.

I'm currently in Boston, Lincs on a visiting rotation at a hospital here for two weeks. Found a nice powerlifting team training in nearby Horncastle under Marc Giles. Marc has invited me over to train with them whilst I'm up here. Fantastic bunch of guys, had a great time today. Looking forward to the next couple of sessions.


Today was bench day, so I just slotted in to their normal routine. There were two groups: a 'heavy' group and a 'light' group. I was in the heavy group, right at the ****ing bottom, lol.

(trying to remember what I did, may have forgotten some numbers)
Flat Bench:
50x10
70x1
80x1
90x1
75x10

Inclined Paused CGBP with Chains:
50(+chains) x 9

Flat Paused CGBP with Chains:
50(+chains) x 8

Flat Paused CGBP feet up with Chains:
50(+chains) x 6

Chinups:
BWx9

Strong lifts 5x5, or depending on your experience wendler 5/3/1

Hmmm

Vid

impressive

Reverse lunges before extentions personally, you'll need the energy. Not sure if you need to warm your knee up or anything with the leg extension though? So not sure on that front

And dammit ice, can't see the vid at work

I'm following the new 39.4 days Ginsters Pasty Carb Loading while Going Commando diet a go

I saw it on a youtube video, so must be scientifically proven right?

[LiE]

ice stop messing around and lift something you struggle with

 

[KiNgPiN83]

Awesome transformation, keep it up!

Thanks dude! I'd been reading inspirational stories on here for a while and it just felt like i should add to them and maybe help inspire someone else? The good thing is, i know i have more in the tank and could've worked harder which makes me optimistic for when i start hitting the weights again next week.
