Post Edited: 24.08.2022 @ 08:53 AM by Funky_monkey Decided to try and do a somewhat volume session for pressing - albeit with my dodgy shoulder. Never intended on going heavy at allIncline bench (had to adjust grip mid-set as wider meant my shoulder was painful) 60kg x 12 60kg x 12 65kg x 10 65kg x 10 Incline db press 15s x 15 20s x 15 25s x 15 30s x 15 - grip narrower 35s x 8 - grip narrower Flyes - funny enough none of these hurt 10s x 15 12.5s x 15 15s x 15 Shoulder press 10s x 15 15s x 15 17.5s x 15 20s x 15 Side raises Few sets of higher reps Tricep ext with rope 3-4 sets Tricep ext with bar x 3-4 sets Bored Sumo DL with whippy bar.

| Last week's deadlift session Two girls were mincing about right behind me when I was trying to train, constantly getting in the way, no clue about awareness of their surroundings Squats were fine Sumo 195kg x 3, distracted Another set, distracted, trying not to kill a couple of teenagers. Deathlifts. Did a bunch of lighter pulls Some back work Biceps and grip Monday 22nd Squats - saw a guy benching 3 plates for reps in the smith, thought i'd get him to slap me. He patted me on the back then touched me on every single rep despite me asking him nicely to get off the platform 8 easyish reps with 160kg, every single one of them assisted somewhat Leg press 3-4 sets, working up to about 340kg? Glute bridge things on smith. 10kg bar with counterweights? 50kg x 5 70kg x 5 90kg x 5 120kg x 5 140kg x 5 160kg x 5 170kg x 3? - erm.... my best before was 1.5 plates. Now I got 4 plates after volume work | |||

| I'm sick and tired of tomatoes - getting about a kilo a day. Daikon radishes seem to be growing well in their trays, might plant them out next weekend. Beets in the ground just before the big rain, all seem to have settled in well. Red Meat radishes just gone into a planter, given them a bit more space as they're supposed to go up to tennis ball size. Kohlrabi seem to be growing finally - about the size of a grapefruit. They're the monster variety so I'm going to let them get to roughly pineapple size. First lot of Spanish Black radishes that I planted didn't germinate, but the ones where I pulled the plant out and hung it for a week seem to have produced seeds at around 95% viability, which is great! Fennel was a flop - almost literally. Some have gone to seed, some have BARELY gotten fatter, and look like they're going to go to seed. Sunflower has stopped dead in its tracks - not gained any height, but opened a flower which is growing well. The others are slowly getting taller. | |||

| I planted a couple of sunflowers, then the fig tree leaves started to grow and the sunflowers stopped dead in their tracks. Planted another sunflower in another location about 2 months later, and it's shot past the older two! Currently at 7ft tall and growing strong! Beetroot i directly sowed are small, the ones in trays that are in the exact same spot seem to be doing MUCH better. Suppose it's allowing the tray to soak in water? Put in an order for more seeds - Daikon, spanish black radish, gigantomo - supposed to be tomatoes that grow over a kilo each, carrots plus a ton of other stuff I can't remember. Order came to 8 quid including postage for about 15 packs of seeds! | |||
