Bench Press 60kg x 15 80kg x 15 100kg x 5 120kg x 5 140kg x 3 165kg x 3 170kg x 1 long pause 145kg x 7 165 triple was pretty tough today, bar just feeling heavy but got all the reps I wanted done. Looks ok written down just wasn't feeling it, decent enough though. Incline Hammer Press 130kg x 13 rep pb 130kg x 8 130kg x 7 These were moving nice actually and small increases on last time, I do enjoy this machine and gives a great pump. Upright Bench Machine 90kg x 10 rep pb 95kg x 8 rep pb 100kg x 6 rep pb Again some nice small increases and all moving ok if a little lacking in explosion. Pec Dec 63kg x 12 63kg x 12 63kg x 10 Tried a new set up, seat set much lower and holding the machine itself not the handles...hit my upper pec region bang on, much much weaker this way but it targets the muscle so much better, chest developed a lovely deep ache. Cable Crossovers 25kg x 20 35kg x 15 45kg x 8 rep pb 45kg x 8 35kg x 15 Again tweaked my set up with these and got a much better stretch and contraction, good pumps. EZ Bar cable curls 55kg x 10 55kg x 10 55kg x 10 55kg x 10 55kg x 10 95kg x 4 rep pb drop 65kg x 5 drop 45kg x 10 Bicep seeming to allow me to do different movements at last, these felt great, 60 second rests between sets and banged the volume out. Dip Machine Stack + 40kg x 15 Stack + 40kg x 15 Stack + 40kg x 15 Stack + 40kg x 10 Stack + 40kg x 10 Tricep death! 60 second rests and the pump was unreal, main focus was on triceps but whole of upper body just blew up from these, faded at the end and the blood in arms and delts was so painful, felt great. SSCV 20 mins Treadmill - 122bpm Incline upped, speed upped, fitness continues to build. And that was that slow start and not happy with bench but the main work of the session moved well and felt good. Job done. Legs Thursday and Delts/Arms Friday. No video today. Still momoth sessions even with the chest thing going on,,nice rep pb in them deads  | ||

Likes tight rubber Member 2981, 11067 posts SQ 242.5, BP 192.5, DL 330765.0 kgs @ 92.9kgs UnEq | Cracking session today, feeling massively strong and really on it despite the cut...strength is soaring! Stiff Leg Deadlifts 60kg x 10 100kg x 5 140kg x 5 hook 180kg x 3 hook 220kg x 1 hook 260kg x 3 rep pb 300kg x 1 PB Feeling very very strong, all fairly comfy weights, very out of practice with this exercise but they moved really nicely. 300kg stiff leg was something I never dreamed would happen, be nice to double it now. Deads in general are feeling very very on point, I have a feeling despite my cut I am going to pull 340kg soon. Hack Squats 40kg x 12 80kg x 8 120kg x 6 160kg x 10 rep pb 200kg x 6 rep pb 220kg x 3 rep pb Strength going massively up here...reps up all around and tripled 220kg which last week was a very tough single, quads felt battered. Belt Squats 120kg x 7 rep pb 120kg x 5 80kg x 15 Again feeling strong and easy, nice repping and legs were screaming after set 3. Seated Leg Curls 70kg x 20 rep pb 70kg x 20 70kg x 25 rep pb and volume pb Massive and I mean massive hamstring pumps, I was really struggling to walk 3 sets in, massively painful but I love this movement. Leg Extensions 90kg x 13 rep pb 90kg x 10 90kg x 8 volume pb Good hard peak contractions and minimal rest, quads pumped really nicely and had some sneaky quad veins starting to come through Seated Calf Raises 70kg x 7 rep pb 70kg x 7 70kg x 7 70kg x 7 70kg x 7 volume pb Again strength up and really nice pumps. SSCV 20 mins treadmill to finish off. Really pleased today, feeling stronger, leaner and fitter, loved that today. Delts and arms tomorrow. Vid | ||

Will take another progress pic this week, fat dropping nicely and muscle going on too, couldn't really ask for more, the mirror is showing good progress. | ||

Likes tight rubber Member 2981, 11067 posts SQ 242.5, BP 192.5, DL 330765.0 kgs @ 92.9kgs UnEq | Great session today... Seated Dumbbell Overhead Press 22kg x 20 32kg x 12 42kg x 10 rep pb 32kg x 12 32kg x 12 Very out of practice with dumbbells but these felt really good, hardest bit is getting them into position. Can really feel these well in delts. Dumbbell Lateral Raises 22kg x 8 22kg x 8 22kg x 8 22kg x 8 No pain in shoulder this week and got an epic pump, moving well. Cable Side Lateral Raises 10kg x 20 12.5kg x 12 15kg x 8 + 4 + 4 Rest pause rep pb Feeling better than last week purely as zero shoulder pain. Got some utterly freaky pumps, I was struggling to move arms between sets and was hard to relieve the feeling of being so pumped. Reverse Pec Dec 56kg x 15 63kg x 15 70kg x 10 rep pb Love this movement, can really hone in on rear delts and they blew up nicely. Wide Grip Behind Head Pulldowns 75kg x 15 75kg x 10 75kg x 10 Reps up on last week, got a really good hard contraction in lats each rep, felt great, finished off rear delts at the same time. Behind Head Overhead Smith Press 70kg x 10 80kg x 4 60kg x 12 + 4 + 4 rest pause Going in to these with heavily fatigued delts was awesome, immense pumps and delts looked the best they ever have. Incline Dumbbell Curls 17kg x 8 Nope...bicep does not like that one bit... One Arm Cable Curls 15kg x 15 20kg x 12 25kg x 12 30kg x 12 35kg x 10 rep pb Oh yes...no bicep pain from these and a nice full ROM, epic pumps again and veins have made a return. Rope Cable Hammer Curls 55kg x 10 55kg x 10 55kg x 10 Tough with heavily fatigued biceps but got some good reps in and a great contraction every rep. Leg Curl Tricep Pressdowns 100kg x 22 rep pb 110kg x 13 rep pb 110kg x 10 Not sure about these now, progress on them will be tough as its hard to get in to the position, they really burn big time but its a tough movement to perform. Dumbbell Extension 11kg x 20 15kg x 10 Nope...elbow not liking these...really struggling to find any tricep isolation exercise I can perform without pain...its pressing or nothing by looks of it. Triceps are not a weakness at all thankfully. SSCV 20 mins treadmill - 122bpm Job done, great session, immense pumps and strength still building, looking leaner and feeling better, enjoying my training immensely at the moment. Weekend off ...deads on Monday again. Good weekend all | ||

Likes tight rubber Member 2981, 11067 posts SQ 242.5, BP 192.5, DL 330765.0 kgs @ 92.9kgs UnEq | Another good start to the week today... a tad dozy going in after a lazy weekend and a fair whack of driving in the heat yesterday but was a good session. 10" Deadlifts 60kg x 10 100kg x 10 140kg x 5 180kg x 3 220kg x 3 260kg x 1 300kg x 1 320kg x 1 default pb Well...I have found a major weak height! This felt far far harder than a floor pull and last week just 2" higher I tripled this weight. This moved ok and I toyed with trying a hard second but a capillary burst in my cheek and I was dripping blood on the floor lol. I am really happy to have found this weakpoint, I just can't generate any speed which is great as I can hammer this height now with doubles to 5's and I reckon I will see some carryover. Pleased with this today. Upright Row machine 140kg x 14 rep pb 142.5kg x 9 rep pb Increases in reps and weight again, strength building well, felt good, great pump. Chest Supported Rows 50kg x 11 rep pb 50kg x 9 Reps up again both sets and good strong reps. Straight Arm Rope Pulldowns 45kg x 9 rep pb 45kg x 9 Weight up again this week and still banging the reps out, another one building nicely. Close Grip Pulldowns 75kg x 12 90kg x 7 drop 70kg x 6 drop 50kg x 6 drop 30kg x 9 lats fried Felt very good indeed, triple drop set utterly trashed lats, nothing left in the tank. Seated Machine Shrugs 80kg x 12 120kg x 12 120kg x 12 160kg x 8 default rep pb Messing around and managed to set this up on the machine deadlift and man it felt awesome! A definite keeper this one, blows up traps like crazy, the isolation you can get is just immense, never had such a pump in my traps, still got it now. SSCV 10 mins incline treadmill 15 mins Watt Bike Increased cardio by 5 mins so a total of 25 minutes a day now. Feeling fitter, its without doubt making me feel better, just don't enjoy it particularly but its worth it without doubt. And that was that, decent session despite my face exploding with blood lol. Happy to have found a weakness to work on and everything is building so well. Chest tomorrow will be trying the flyes pre exhausting method followed I think my dumbbell bench, trying to break away from normal bench for a while and get this chest growing. | ||

Likes tight rubber Member 2981, 11067 posts SQ 242.5, BP 192.5, DL 330765.0 kgs @ 92.9kgs UnEq | Bad morning this morning...my sodding car has blown up again...terminal this time I think and no funds to sort anything else so a little unsure as to what I will be able to do next  Happened on way to the gym so made the session a bit crap and I was gutted as was really looking forward to it...it went ok tbf though but head not really there as you can imagine.Poliquin Incline Flyes 12.5kg x 15 22kg x 12 27kg x 12 32kg x 8 Wow! Despite head not being in the game these were awesome! Thanks Dav...the stretch is unreal and the pecs just blew up, veins popping out like crazy, a very very good movement and it felt very good on my bad shoulder too. Dumbbell Bench Press 42kg x 12 42kg x 12 52kg x 8 62kg x 4 42kg x 8 Tougher than usual due to that pre fatigue but feeling it all in the chest and not my usual anterior delts and triceps..just what I wanted. These felt good and the pumps were insane. Incline Hammer Press 120kg x 6 100kg x 8 80kg x 10 Lol...couldn't match my best of 130kg x 13 but the pre fatigue had done the job..felt all of this in my upper pecs. Cable X Overs 35kg x 15 45kg x 9 rep pb 35kg x 12 35kg x 12 Got a big big stretch each rep and each rep seemed to pump up pecs even more. Pec Dec 63kg x 15 63kg x 12 63kg x 12 Doing these very strict with seat set low and holding the uprights not the handles, seems to focus more on the upper chest area, increases in reps again. Upright Bench Machine 80kg x 8 70kg x 15 70kg x 15 Pecs so fatigued I couldn't hit the higher weights so took the weight down and repped out, felt awesome. DV Cable Tricep Extensions 15kg x 15 15kg x 15 17.5kg x 10 default pb Oh yes thank you DV...these were awesome...at last an isolation movement for triceps that doesn't hurt my elbows...the contraction you can get with these is immense and the pump was crazy...definite keeper, loved these! Triceps blew up. One Arm cable Curls 35kg x 12 rep pb 37.5kg x 8 rep pb + 4 + 3 Rest Pause Quick hit on the biceps and they were quickly finished off, still being careful due to the niggle but weight and reps up and feeling ok. SSCV 25 minutes Watt Bike Enjoying this machine for a change and got a good sweat on with it, fitness really is coming back in leaps and bounds. And that was that...struggled to get myself into the game because of the sodding car but loved that session, felt like a proper bodybuilding chest session and upper body pumps were huge, loved it. No video as I couldn't be bothered today in current mental state! Day off tomorrow then SLDL, Hack Squats and assorted leg work + SSCV Thursday. | ||
