Shrugs were awesome I could of gone heavier.

Needed a good lifting session today after having one of those days where I was thinking "is it all worth it"

Getting sick of the sight of food & preparing it. Feeling bloated & an achy back. A solid workout put all this a side.this is what you get working nights as well haha


Pleased with my dead lifting today. Though making gains this is a weak area at present due to lower back injuries in the past. This is week four of a twelve week plan & I'm now back to my current max on the big lifts. When I dead lifted 110k on my test week I struggled with 5 reps, 105k was easy but 110k felt a killer.

110k today & I nailed it. 10 solid reps & I could of carried on but hitting a round 10 felt great.

I need to remember though I been training for years I have only been lifting seriously for size for 5-6 months.
