incline bench- will try working sets with 120k
pec dec-
standing BB press-
cable laterals-
skulls-
pulldowns-
Db rows-

want to give racks another go but my lower back really is playin up at the moment and im worried ive damaged it like i did a few yr back.. had some trapped nerves and stress fractures of my back before rfom lots and lots of cricket and fingers crossed it aint the same!!

incline bench- 120k x 5,2,2 <--- PB!!!
                    100k x 8,2
pec dec- 87 x 7

standing BB push press-
80k x 6- decided to take it easy with the front delts as the inclines were great today, and i felt fine so dint wanna overdo it!
cable laterals-
15k x 13, 25k x 7

overhead v bar tri pushdowns-
42k x 12, superset, dipping machine, stack x 12
did that all back to back twice, finished with a set of regular pushdowns x 7, drop set, x 6

pulldown machine- v similar to hammer pulldown-
115k x 7,4,3

DB rows-
50k x 8,5 <--- these were done, right arm, left arm, right arm, left arm, with no rest between any sets. no straps either! decided to work more on the grip.could have gone a lttle heavier with straps but i concentrated on form so they were good reps

v good session.
v happy wi the incline benching!!! fel v pumped, and felt v strong today too!

just got back from uni.. had a quick walk round town wi one o the lads off my course so we decided to get an all u can eat buff at the chinese!! was decent enough.. i think ive packed in a fair old amount of meat and egg fui yung which is good!!
eaten so much i feel v slow now... not much carbs tho as it would affect my meat eating perfomrmance!! ;-)

Well done on the Inc Bench PB mate, i wish my normal bench was half as good

What is that in your avi as well lol

its a bison!! haha.. my gf (sort of ex now i suppose) thinks i look like a bison when i don shave.. bit daft cos im not that ****1n hairy but there ya go.. thats gf's for ya!! haha

yeah felt good on the incline.. t be honest could have prob got 7 out instead of 5 on the first set, but wasn't being spotted at the time and dint fancy havin that fall on my neck.. strength is increasin qcuikly at the moment.. will be usin 125k for the next time i do inclines hto!

haha.. sorry dint mean to!! ;-)
just glad the weights are goin up.. felin v good in the gym, and glad it is showin in the numbers that are bein moved about!!

yeah it was a stuffed bison at a museum in london.. my gf just graduated a fashion degree up here and was down there for london fashion wk to show her collection and found this bison so took a pic of it for me!! haha.. there's a bear too which i may use.. she says it looks like me when i shout at her!lol..

well done on the PB!

what do you attribute your surge in strength to?

i think it is just a combo of the epi startin t really kick in and the MTRN.. just feel like there is no limit in the gym.. its good!!
thursday will be flat bench so im gonna be hot on ur heels and chasin ur 145k for reps mate... ;-).. i hope!
will hopefully get at least 4 out on that anyway! ive had 2 wk at 140, and have progressed with reps, so will up the weight this wk and see how i fair..

oh yes i remember now.

yep you will be sore after them 20 reppers lol

ok-
back squats-
150k x 6
160k x 4
front squats-
70k x 20 - was a bit light. got to 15 before having to rest pause the rest out.
SLDL's-
90k x 9
Lunges- (paul george style)
40k x 7 each leg- havent done these before, and did them with around 30 sec rest from the SLDL's so hams were fried.
Seated calf raise-
40k x lots- rest paused, holds, negatives galore!!!

after legs my lower back was PUMPED!!!! to say the least...
had t sit down for 3-4 mins before i could carry on..

Seated 1 arm hammer strength preacher curl-
45k x 7,3, 40k x 6 - each arm.
standing EZ curl-
55k x 10, 60k x 6, dropset 40k x 4 (v strict reps on last set).
EZ reverse grip curls-
40k x 8,5

all in all a v good session, as i said above, my lower back is severly pumped, much worse than when i was takin SD...
arms were c pumped too.. felt strong. squats were good seein as im havin a bit of lower back trouble at the moment. feels like my lumbar region is made of granite!!! so i wa shappy wi 160k.. will up it slightly next time, maybe 165-170

I too do a set of (back) squat 20 reppers after 4 pyramided sets of back what.

Not sure why i do it but seems good, or at least hard work lol

Same with me last week i got to 15 ok then it was hard work from thereon to the last 5 reps haha

yeah they are v tough mate!! i wanna be failin at around 12 tho, so i rest pause the last 7-8 out..
