Back in the rack:D couldn't be happier, I've deluded a few kilos just to get the feel of it back,I'm so god damn stoked that my thigh is better, felt so good having the bar back on my back.

presses were fine, its a de load so nothing special.

Deads are getting taxing again but were solid.

im incenced about my leg, going to chat to the doctor about it, decided to do leg presses for now as my thigh felt fine and upped the weight to compensate, shoulder press was easy as expected, its the next weight iu struggled with so fingers crossed. deads were ok nervouse for wednesday as its my second attempt at 100kg :O.

[vegan_rossco]

What sort of rep range are you going for with the bicep and tricep isolation dude?

[klaatu21]

literally till i cant do any more, then i deload straight away and keep going untill i cant lift even five kilos

worst training day so far, squats were dead before they began, the two weeks rest helped alot but just not enough, so im doing it again. bench was weak but its a new weight so im not surprised and no set of rows were complete because i couldnt completer the final reps with out breaking form. shamefully i didnt do any assistance work because my spirit was briken and i slunk off home with my tail between my legs.

presses were a bit week but im getting there, finally nailled 100kg deads, so so so stoked, it killed me on the first rep, but after i alternated grip from the second it was really strong.

decided to stop doing dips as i dont think im strong enought to use full rom so im going to wait, did overhead extensions before doing the rope pull downs and my arms felt like they were dead, was absolutely awesome feeling.

still no squats but my leg is feeling majorly strong. shoulder presses were better than last time, ill nail the bastards next time. deads were amazing, only managed 3 but its all good .

shuffled around my assistance work as im trying to figure out what works best still, started the bicep curls from 30kg this time as im feeling stronger and it shows.

had my body fat and circumferences done again, my body fat % has gone up from 11.2 last month to just over 13 this month but i think last was too low.
3cm increase on chest,
1 cm increase on upper arm,
hips and waist the same
2 cm increase on thichs and thats even with out squats

and im finally back on the bike now so weather permitting ill be getting some serious miles in this month so next bf% test next month should see big differences:).
