What pose were you doing for your back? Mine looks really different depending on what I do with it

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!
