James' Journal

Yo dude, any updates??

Had a bit of a break as I was getting a few niggles and have been finding it difficult to get back on track.

Did some benching this week and strength seems about the same which is a surprise. Plan on resuming the schedule on Monday.

Can't believe its been so long!!
 
Just started a full body routine 3 days a week, 1 set per exercise as heavy as I can do.
 
Squat, dead lift, DB pullover, military press, barbell row, DB bench press, skull crushers, BB curl, bench dip and pull up's 

Quite pleased with how it's going so far most lifts are going up each session. Should be good for 100kg DL's on Wednesday.

Hack squats suck, gonna dig out my squat stands.

Hack Squat 56kg x8
Dead lift 91kg x8
Dumbbell Pullover 16kg x9
Military Press 46kg x5 (2)
Barbell Row 51kg x8
Dumbbell Bench Press 21kg x10
Skulls 21kg x8
Barbell Curl 31kg x8

Good session, weights up on most, added 20kg to my DL so getting back to where I was a year and a half ago which isn't bad in 3 weeks.

Not a great session today

Definitely should've been wearing that today!

Wednesday I'm doing 120kg for at least 5 if it kills me. Short term goal is a 150kg single but I feel that's a few months off yet.

Was pleased to hit the 120x5 but that OHP is still giving me trouble, 45kg is ok but an extra 2.5kg is a real struggle, pathetic lol
