Really enjoyed the laying side raises they felt so much more effective!

LOVING training the slow rep stuff now.
My negatives are at least 4 seconds now.
It just feels like its wrecking the muscles I'm using and tired them out so fast even though the weight is so light!

Session was cool. Had plenty fun. One of the 17 year olds has a 240kg deadlift and 8 months until he turns 18.
Thats 30 kg off the scottish sub junior record. I'm trying to find him coaching because I believe he has what it takes to take a new record.

ALL SETS PERFORMED WITH 3 OR 4 SECOND NEGATIVES

Wide grip Pulldown
3 sets of 10 reps with 50 odd kg

Narrow grip pulldown
3 sets of 8-10 reps with 61kg

LEVER ROW (Horizontal row)
3 sets of 80 - 10 reps with 50kg?

Face pull of inner traps
3 sets of 10 reps with 40 something kg?

Seated decline bicep curls
3 sets of 8-10 reps with 10kg dumbells

Dumbell Preacher curls
3 sets of 7-10 reps with 8kg dumbells

Tricep lever press
3 sets of 10 reps with 69kg (giggity)

Tricep Pushdown
3 sets of 8 reps with 32kg?

My grip was the toughest thing on the pulling because of the length of time I have to grip for. Each set lasts a minute or so, so hopefully the difficulty in gripping it will lead to stronger hands.
The Pace pulls were the best I've ever done today. Been trying for ages to learn how to pull with the traps and I think I might be getting there now. Hopefully some growth will occur because my traps are very thin in comparison to the rest of my back.

SQUATS
3 sets of 3 reps with 135kg

Now, this was very difficult today. The reason I only did 3 sets instead of 5 sets was because it was so difficult I felt like the potential of injury was very high.
I'm supposed to be taking 5kg jumps but with the amount I'm working at the moment (19 days in a row) I'm not quite sure it's a possibility for me currently.

I'm tempted to take 135kg again next week and aim for 5 sets.

My protein intake is higher right now than it ever has been in my life but my sleep has been off for various reasons and I feel like that's the secret to my success in the last 10 week phase I did. Sleep was perfect.

So a couple of things to work on in order to get this 5 weeks of 3 reps on the go.

There was a guy in the gym who was yelling really really loudly for the last 4 reps of every set he did and I think he must have done about 50 sets in the time that I was there. That was around 200 yells.
It was super lolz.

Someone would think that a lad who could bench 110kg for 5 sets of 10 reps would be able to bench 132.5kg wouldn't they?

1st ever "arm day"

I did an arm day today.
I've never been one to train my arms until the last month or so and I thought why not.
I spammed a bunch of tricep and bicep exercises with short rests between.

For triceps.

Palm up single arm cable pushdowns
2 sets of 12 reps

Single Arm overhead cable extension
2 sets of 12 reps

Cable kickbacks
2 sets of 12 reps

Straight bar pushdowns
2 sets of 10 reps

For biceps.

Preacher curl
3 sets of 12

Seated laid back curls
3 sets of 12

Some kind of bicep machine
3 sets of 12.

Conclusion
So that was a bit different. Arms definitely felt that "pump" everyone goes on about and felt weaker and sorer come the end. It doesn't make you tired like squats do though that's for sure. Kinda feels like a cop out day for if you want to go to the gym but are feeling lazy.
