wozza2k's pursuit of vanity

Started with bench tonight as had to wait for the squat rack, closing in on 70kg bench and feeling pretty comfortable with the weight.

Still working on getting everything firing for Deadlifts, I just don't seem to click with it. Currently focusing on keeping a braced core whilst pushing through hamstrings to pull the weight so to say...

Eugh frustrating session!

Did this first as rack wasn't free, then bailed as rack was freed up

Squat
Funny story on this one, Everything was going well with first set, noticed some guy was on the side, thought he was was just mirin', so put headphones in and loaded up, on my 3rd rep he comes close and says something so I bailed thinking he wanted something... "Oh mate I was just saying I'll spot you so go for it, pretty sure you had a few more in you then"... RAGE

He leaves me alone for my 2nd set, so that went ok...

3rd set he starts to spot me on the 3rd rep, so I bailed again and had to explain to him he's actually throwing me off.

Needless to say he left me alone but hung around to alternate which threw me off on the last set.

Think he is a PT. KERMIT

Thought I was going knock out the 70kg fine, what do I on the first set? Knock the catchers which throws me off and never picked up from there...

Yea and some random 'bro' exercises to close up the last 10 minutes.

Cable Pulldown

Leg raises/Reverse crunches
 
Strange mixture of exercises tonight... It appears my body doesn't like pulling movements as it sucks at them

Pull ups - Alternating between wide & narrow grip

Hanging Leg raises

Row
Bar 10 10
30kg 8 8
40kg lots

RDL - Trying to keep the core tight whilst slowly 'pushing' via hamstrings to get them to activate properly
60kg lotssssss

Bicep curls - felt like such a Kermit doing these, I don't understand how people spend hours in the gym doing so many variations of this exercise.

Reverse crunches -Abs was burning when I did these so I either did something right earlier or really wrong...

Considering how your workouts are from an intensity perspective (i.e. you're working hard!), it's not unusual to simply get bushed and need a weekend to recoup.

Doesn't mean it will happen every week, but then that's why the body is a git. :)

I don't feel as though these have been as intense as they have been, admittedly I've got a slight cold/went drinking the night before and only had about 5 hours sleep (all excuses) but yea I guess it's just frustrating to stall.

Session went better than I thought it would, squats at 60kg was killing me hence the smaller sets, 80kg was slaughtering me then boom 112.5kg went like a dream on the first 3 sets, all smooth, was going to stop there then thought try and go for the last two sets which did finish me off.

Lying Leg raises

Semi decent session, didn't think I was going to hack 112.5kg squats when I felt extremely tight and tired at 60 and 80kg but somehow I managed it.

Rows are still not liking me, not sure whether it's because I did it after the killer squat session or whether I just need to keep working at it and it'll eventually click.
