Another absolute beauty of a workout!!
Squat - 8x115, 8x115, 8x117.5, 8x120 (owww!!)
SLDL - 8x97.5, 8x100
DL - 8x100, 5x120
BOR - 8x57.5, 8x57.5, 7x57.5 + (1/2 rep grrrr couldnt get it)
Curl - 40x8, 40x6 (+ 1 cheat to 7 reps)
Again, every lift is up from last time, so at this rate should be making some good gains!!
Just gotta keep eating I think!
will take pictures soon aswell to compare, I've wacked on a bit of fat recently I think.
Weight is 175lbs

Like the look of the weights mate things seem to be going great, your right about the eating mate i'm only now realising just how crucial it is to build muscle and if you do eat enough of the right stuff it is kind of like a miracle....dont really know what i'm on about there but anyway thanks for the comments mate sorry i had to subject you to my ugly mug on them photo's on top of everything else!!!

28/01/07
A pretty quick workout, some good weights pressed, thought I'd experiment with my bench strength...
Bench press - 90x8, 90x8, 100x2, 105x1, 110 failed (rubbish!!)
Dumbell shoulder press - 22.5x8, 25x7, 25x5
Tricep pulldowns - 70x6, 60x8, 60x8;
Not bad workout, I'm trying to batter my shoulders because they are lagging...Any ideas anyone?!

OWWWWW!!! Another lover of a workout
Deadlift - 5x110, 5x130, 5x130, 5x130 (have summa that - next week 135)
SLDL - 102.5x6, 102.5x4 (back was rinsed from the deadlifting)
Bent over rows - 8x60, 8x60, 7x60 (****in close to the full 3 x 8, well annoying!!)
Concentration curls - 8x15, 8x15
The good news is the deadlift. The weight is going up nicely. Couldn't squat today cos I've got marathon training tomorrow. Well annoying trying to bulk and run a marathon at the same time!!

Another bangin workout, it's going good at the moment!
After following advice from a few chaps about changing the rep scheme now and again to help busting plateaus I've dropped my bench down to 4x6. Here are the figures for today:
04/02/07
Bench press - 6x92.5, 6x92.5, 6x92.5, 5x92.5
Db Shoulder press - 8x25, 8x25, 5x25
Skullcrushers - 8x42.5, 8x45
Will try bench press at 95kg next week
Will try and finish all reps on DB shoulder press at the same weight
Will try 2 sets at 45kg on skullcrushers

so it's a race to 160 for five reps!
Trouble is mate i've started to cut now (first time i've ever done this) so i dont know what to expect but apparently your strength can drop for obvious reasons i.e not as many carbs.kcals but we'll see hopefully i can keep increasing the weight i'll keep you posted....not that i'm wimping out or anything

LOL yeah I have a bit of muscle memory from the past, although I don't remember doing 5 reps at 140, I think that might be a new PB.
According to the one rep max calculator my 1 RM is now about 160kg...So my target of 160kg for five might take a while!!!

Bring it on baby - another good workout.
Bench press - 95x6, 95x6, 95x6, 95x4
Db Shoulder press - 25x8, 25x8, 27.5x7
Skulls - 45x8, 45x8
Abs
well it's looking good. Strength is still going up, next week I'll bust 97.5 for 6 on the bench press. Won't get all sets out but the week after I will hopefully. DB shoulder press felt good, up on last week. Skullcrushers form was a bit wayward might drop the weight and build back up for next week.
All in all good workout.

14th February 07
Gave the gym some valentines love!!
I can't pull a girl so I might aswell pull a bar with some heavy weight on instead.
Awesome workout again owww!! Rinsed some chalk from the local climbing shop ... damn that stuff makes a different to my grip!! Held on to the 140k deads no problem this time, usually it starts to slip.
Deadlifts - 5x140, 5x140, 4x142.5, 2x142.5
SLDL - 8x102.5, 8x102.5 (lovin it)
Bent over rows - 8x62.5, 8x62.5, 6 (so close to 7) x 62.5
Con curls - 8x17.5, 8x17.5
So next week SLDLs are up and so are concentration curls.
Deadlift we'll try and get 5x140 for 2 sets and then 5x142.5 for 2 sets
Bent over rows will try and get 3 sets of 8 reps @ 62.5.
I'm hungry!
