My shoulders are obliterated! Treated myself on my birthday to a nice little overhead press personal best and a burning superset of raises - lucky ole me! Supersets were crazy hard and have left me with an inability to raise my arms above my head

Hmmm I expected to enter the gym and smash the weights but I wasn't as strong as I felt walking in, could be a lack of sleep though as I only got around 6hours or so. *yawn*. Hit the same weight and reps for decline bench and dumbbell press, with the standing cable fly I tried a few different angles to see what hits the chest the most (and have found the sweet spot) and finished with a couple of high rep sets to finish with a nice little pump . Decided to give hammer curls a go today as I didn't expect to get much out of chins but just ended up with a pain in my right forearm for the trouble! I think its a combination of an old problem that has reoccured (numbness down arm which was previously from bad posture on the computer at work, I think a week of using my laptop at home has brought it back on though!) and a bloody good pump from the hammer curls! Tried for a set of curls with the ez bar but my arm said no

Had some extra time in bed this morning (I am on holiday after all!). Feeling a bit tired and have done for the last couple of days despite getting plenty of sleep. Yesterdays food wasn't as great as usual, well down on calories. A weight check yesterday had me at 75.4kg and looking leaner (or at least a touch less bloated than usual). Had a good workout this morning, hit more pullups, and added weight onto pretty much everything. Especially happy with the dumbell rows that seemed to fly up without effort!

Back pumps to the max! I think I may have to ditch the separate hamstring workout and just tack some leg curls onto the end of quad day - the back pumps I'm getting off SLDL's is insane . Other than the agony today was a really good workout. Decided as I had some extra time and I missed out on biceps the other day that I would do a few sets at the end. Doing the drop sets for my last set makes me feel so good, gotta love that pump eh Arnie? I felt like Greg Plitt during one of his workouts (minus the pep talks and other weird sh*t). It feels good to feel good . I keep forgetting to do the close grip bench correctly though, always flaring my elbows out, one day I will remember hopefully!

Overslept this morning so was at the gym a bit later than usual for a Saturday. Really glad I went in though as I had a really great workout with more PB's!

 

Decided to make the jump up to 40kg for OHP which is a greater jump than I'd like but I keep forgetting to take my micro plates to the gym. Didn't really feel like I got the best forearm workout and I think I may drop that out (along with moving the hamstring exercises to leg day).

Killing those abs today! Still love/hate the gym on Sundays though, the increased number of good looking women is countered by a much larger increase in weird men!

Leg day = pain and suffering.

 

Got a bit carried away with the curls and and extensions I think, in my head I fancied trying the FST7 thing but I think I went a bit overboard... The sets of 20 on leg press was evil but I was glad to be sitting down after the squats (more back pumps).

This morning was a bit of a struggle to get up, I think my 2 weeks of getting up slightly later has wrecked my pattern for early mornings again. Some more back pumps again but I have bought some taurine so hopefully that will help. Diet has been great, eating (with ease) everything I have planned and in fact I have increased my non training days calories to be the same as workout day. I'm going to add in some cardio to help keep me trim (ish) while the weight goes up. Good workout overall with weights/reps all going up. I seemed to get through the workout pretty quickly so probably should have thrown some dips in too. Loving the extra sets and massive pump at the end of each bodypart too
