really feelin the doms today in my pecs nice to know they got hit hard! cardio this morning then tomorrow as well. after this week im going to 5 mornings a week of cardio then ill start my cutting diet which knowing me wont be so hot, however due to cardio in the morning im hoping it will still be effective.
if the gains slow down then i can always do cardio twice in one day. (never, ever thought id say that!)

1 x 8 60kg
1 x 8 60kg
1 x 6 80kg
1 x 7 80kg nice and slow
Lat Pulldown
1 x 7 105p
1 x 6 105p very, very slow really hard these
Cleans
1 x 4 60kg
1 x 4 60kg
1 x 4 60kg
might try an include cleans more often, really think they will help give me some good explosive power.
other than that back to deadlifts next back day, missing them

really not feeling well, severe case of man flu i think! headache, nausea sweats. not nice.
only thing ive been doing is going for a long walk in the evening 30mins to an hour, definatley don't wan to inflict this on anyone in the gym and to be honest im in no condition to train.
im itching to get in the gym and deadlift though! really worried as ive not done it for a while and don't want to have lost any strength on this lift, which is my favorite.

1st session back today in the gym from feeling like crap all week and with a new training plan.
been reading so much about volume these days and with the thread serge has in general and what quite alot of the big guys have said ive decided to give it a go.
just come back from doing a back workout and i found out how bad my grip is! its pitiful!
but im determined to get rid of my straps that ive been using for years, so the weights im using are alot lower than anything ive used before but im hoping the volume will make up for that.
Deadlift
1 x8 60kg
1 x8 60kg
1 x8 60kg
1 x8 60kg (grip is starting to go)
1 x7 60kg (grip went)
1 x7 60kg (grip went)
only waited about 1 min between sets and all are done with total control throughout the movement, nice and slow. since ive done 185k for 1 rep the weights are considerably lower! god i hate my grip but it will improve!
Lat Pulldown
1 x8 75p
1 x8 75p
1 x8 75p
1 x8 75p
1 x8 75p
1 x8 75p
Again my grip only just lasted here as well and my forearms were burning with holding on!
but again hopefully the volume will make up for the lack of weight
DB Row
1 x8 10kg
1 x8 10kg
1 x8 10kg
1 x8 10kg
1 x8 10kg
1 x8 10kg
ill look to increase the reps up to 12 for each set then ill increase the weight. will take some measurements and post em up and remeasure in 3 months to try and gauge progress.
please feel free to critisise or encourage!

Oh my god i have never trained legs like this ever before, i nearly fell down the steps of the gym on the way out and had to sit in the car for 10mins before i felt okay to drive!
if this doesnt shock them nothing will! again the weights are nothing as heavy as i usually use, i can squat 150-160k comfortably but its all about the volume at the moment for me, gradually increasing the reps to 12 then ill up the weights
Squat
1 x8 20kg
1 x8 60kg
1 x8 60kg
1 x8 60kg
1 x8 60kg
1 x8 60kg
1 x8 60kg All reps done slowly to just below parallel
Leg Curl
1 x8 105p
1 x8 105p
1 x8 105p
1 x8 105p
1 x8 105p
1 x8 105p Really good mind-muscle connection on these, really felt my hams contracting, and got a really good pump.
Leg Extention
1 x8 105p
1 x8 105p
1 x8 105p
1 x8 105p
1 x8 105p
1 x8 105p These were an absolute killer, legs were so pumped i could hardly walk!
Calf Raise
1 x20 40kg
1 x20 40kg
1 x14 40kg
1 x10 40kg
1 x10 40kg
1 x8 40kg These really finished me off goodstyle, ive never felt so good about training my legs before.

My legs are seizing up especially my calves, really like the feeling of doms in them but it makes walking a bit of a challenge! Had an okay session for my shoulders, taking a bit off getting used to this volume stuff, not sure if ive got all the weights spot on as yet, however im bloody shattered!
Shoulders
Military press
1x8 40kg, 1x8 40kg, 1x8 40kg, 1x8 40kg (last one needed a push), 1x8 40kg(last 2), 1x8 40kg (last 3, arms were shaking at the end of this)
Lateral Raise
Gonna alternate this with rear raise i think to begin with as im really struggling with the stamina side of this type of training at the moment.
1x8 4kg, 1x8 4kg, 1x8 4kg, 1x8 4kg, 1x8 4kg, 1x8 4kg. all done really slow, lowering the weight to about 3-4inches from my sides to keep my delts engaged the whole time.
Shrug
1x8 80kg, 1x8 80kg, 1x8 80kg, 1x8 80kg, 1x8 80kg, 1x8 80kg this was a bit too easy if im honest so will probably aim for 10 reps next session i think as opposed to just going to 9.

Well did my chest last night, and its safe to say today my whole body has doms of varying degrees of pain! really hard workout so much so that when i came to do dips i only managed one! i literally had nothing left at the end of the workout.
Bench Press
1x12 20kg, 1x8 50kg, 1x8 50kg, 1x8 50kg, 1x8 50kg, 1x7 50kg, 1x8 50kg
these as usual were done very controlled with shoulders tucked under me slightly to focus on just my pecs. had to wait a few mins between the last few sets as i was shattered! and a few of the last 2 sets reps were not as controlled as i would off liked.
Incline DB Press
1x8 10kg, 1x8 10kg, 1x8 10kg, 1x8 10kg, 1x8 10kg, 1x8 10kg
Not sure about these, was a definite struggle to get all the reps but just didn't really feel it so much in my chest. although its probably due to being pre-exhausted
I went to do some dips next but couldnt manage it! so did a few paltry flys.
1x8 7.5kg, 1x8 7.5kg, 1x8 7.5kg had to stop here though as i was pulling a muscle doing these.
The agony will only get worse im sure tomorrow, was struggling to move my arms by the end of today so im dreading it!
No pain, no gain!

Did Back last night and it was an okay session, still feeling it more in my forearms and hands more than anywhere else due to my really weak grip, but have made a small improvement.
Bent over Row
1x10 20kg, 1x8 50kg, 1x8 50kg, 1X8 50kg, 1x8 50kg, 1x8 50kg, 1x8 50kg the last 2 sets were done with an overhand grip to mix things up a bit, felt a nice contraction in my back doing these.
Lat Pulldown
1x9 75p, 1x9 75p, 1x9 75p, 1x9 75p, 1x9 75p, 1x9 75p one more rep this session so pleased im going in the right direction.
Straight arm pulldown
1x10 40p, 1x10 40p, 1x10 40p, 1x10 40p, 1x10 40p, 1x10 40p never done these before and a bit unsure of this movement so didnt really connect with the lats on this one

Shoulders this morning all reps up one so im pleased, really hard military press and at the end of this session my delts were burning job done.
Military Press
1x9 40kg, 1x9 40kg, 1x9 40kg, 1x9 40kg, 1x9 40kg, 1x9 40kg the last few reps on the last couple of sets were pushed a bit so ill keep the reps the same for the next session i think just to get used to it a bit.
Lateral raise
1x9 4kg, 1x9 4kg, 1x9 4kg, 1x9 4kg, 1x9 4kg 1x9 4kg
these are all done super strict form, dumbells brought to about 4inches from my side. its amazing how many people you see swinging up 20kg dumbells lol. try these and i promise you'll feel the burn and work the muscle a whole lot better!
Rear Raise
1x9 4kg, 1x9 4kg, 1x9 4kg, 1x9 4kg, 1x9 4kg, 1x9 4kg really felt this in my rear delt
