wozza2k's pursuit of vanity

I've semi made it! A girl told me 'I should move to America cause guns are legal over there' genuinely made me laugh.

Nice work.

So after last weeks highlight this week I got asked 'do you even exercise'

Today session was interesting, squats at 100 felt impossible, 120 felt OK similar story with floor presses (not bench due to international chest day) 60 was a struggle but 70 was smooth.

Getting better at BSS but need to get the balance right before adding weight.

Struggled massively tonight, not sure whether it’s lack of sleep last couple of nights or the fact I’ve not rested for as many days compared to usually or just maggot mode.

Form on DL as always need work, need to really get that hip hinge working more.

Not sure what happened with tonight but legs wasn't having any of it, loaded up 100 and that felt 20 like a PB attempt, 110 then 120 was a struggle.

Press and rows however were a fairly nice walk in the park

This is not going well..

Back spasmed on that last rep of DL and now I'm moving slow as a snail. Maybe coming back and doing two days in a row was a bad idea...

Sorry to hear it, buddy.

This is why body builders are always doing arms...

 

[wozza2k]

Maybe I should move to a 25 styles of curls routine...

Tonight:

Feeling better after the niggle last week, pigeon stretch seems to give a really nice stretch to left side so will try and do that daily and take it easier for the next few sessions just in case. Maybe I should do more curls...

Been under the weather with something which I can't see to fully shake off, managed to get a session into today without dying so that's a bonus.

Squats felt very comfortable even at the higher weights which was unexpected and why I went up to 120kg

Upper bodywork however was a massive struggle

Nice work...

You might find you are a fair bit stronger than you think... Looking forward to even greater stuff.

I'm just really cautious about injuring myself again considering last time something just suddenly went out of the blue...

Tonight:
Went bouldering last night so grip and forearms were totally lamed out. Stupid amount of tightness to elbow/tricep area which I'll need to floss out.
