Thu 7/10
Finally back at home for a weight day. Been looking forward to this for a week. Have to do full upper body if I want to do it twice before I go away again.
Nutrition:
6:45 Whey in water (40g protein)
7:15 2 x wholemeal toast with honey (couldn't face eggs today)
8:00 Vits
9:30 Whey in water (30g protein), 2 oat cakes
1:30 120g chicken, 2 x wholemeal, 6 mini tomatoes
4:00 Whey in water (30g protein)
5:30 2 x wholemeal toast
8:30 WORKOUT
9:30 Whey in water (40g protein)
11:00 Steak burger (300g lean steak mince, half an egg), 50g brown rice, dash of soy - full after that...
Put a few extra carbs in for the workout.
Weight is the same at the moment (Fri 8), bit disappointing after 3 fat burning sessions in a row. Muscles do feel a bit fuller though. I'll give it another week and see what happens before changing anything.
Workout:
Target reps 8, 6, 5. Weights in Kg, per dumbbell.
Dumbbell Bench Press
--------------------------
Warm-up - 15x15, 22.5x10, 27.5x8
35x8 (90%)
35x6 (95%)
40x5 (100%)
Dumbbell Shrug
------------------
Warm-up - 20x10
35x8 (90%)
37.5x6 (90%)
40x6 (95%)
Dumbbell Row (alternate)
-----------------------------
Warm-up 15x15, 22.5x10, 27.5x8
37.5x8 (95%)
40x6 (95%)
42.5x6 (100%)
Dumbbell Shoulder Press
-----------------------------
Warm-up 12.5x8
20x8 (95%)
22.5x6 (90%)
25x6 (100%)
Dumbbell Curl (alternate)
-----------------------------
Warm-up 12.5x10
17.5x8 (95%)
20x6 (100%)
22.5x0
20x5 (100%)
Dumbbell Skull Crushers
-----------------------------
Warm-up 12.5x10
25x8 (90%)
27.5x6 (95%)
30x6 (95%)
This was the first upper body workout after a weeks rest, particularly wanted to rest my right shoulder. I've dropped close grip bench press as I think that was causing my shoulder pain, and replaced it with dumbbell skull crushers - I now know why they're called that, I definitely need to work on the technique.
Bench - recovered my lost reps, last rep took about 10 secs....
Shrugs - feel good, want to up the weight but I find it hard to tell if I'm doing full reps.
Row - feeling good, got an extra rep.
Shoulders - also felt good, early sets were easier and I got an extra rep on the last.
Curls - disaster. Last set with 22.5, couldn't even do one, had to drop the weight.
Tris - could feel the skulls (in the head and the tris...)
Overall - good session, felt it afterwards.
I've reduced the number of reps in my warmup sets a bit, plus dropped one shoulder warmup set (already warm from bench).
Looking forward to legs over the weekend.
I can see the outline of my upper abs and my pec split in the right light.... (down at the x-ray end of the spectrum probably).

Nutrition:
10:00 Whey in water (45g protein)
10:45 2 x wholemeal toast
12:45 125g cottage cheese, 3 boiled eggs, light thousand island, 2 oat cakes, 4 mini tomatoes

Workout:
Barbell Squats
-----------------
10 x bodyweight
10 x 25 Kg
10 x 45
8 x 65
8 x 85
3 x 105
Bit exploratory on my first set of barbell squats in a long, long time. Had my heels on some small weights so I could get a little lower. On the last set my form started to fall to pieces, so I quit to protect my back (no reaction from back Mon morning). Need to work at core strength for a bit, quads were fine but back was struggling. Also need a longer bar, having to grab outside the weights.....

Bench - easier than last time, last rep completed in real time not slow motion. Seem to have recovered from the blip.
Shrug - added 2.5 Kg to all work sets, will be pushing further now it's properly incorporated.
Row - was going to up the last set, then decided not to, then wished I had (managed extra rep). Will increase next time.
Shoulders - upped the 2nd work set and made the reps, plus kept the extra rep on the last set. Going for an increase on last set next time.
Curls - still haven't regained weight for last set. Concentrating on really strict form, but am fairly knackered by this point.
Tris - upped the weight on all sets, getting used to the movement.
All in all, a good workout and good progress. Particularly pleased with shoulders, and problem seems to have gone away with rest and dropping close grip bench presses.

5 x 105
5 x 105
5 x 105
5 x 105
After last weeks exploratory squats, and having had no bad reaction, decided to try for 5x5 (with 2 minute rests). Kept the warm-up sets short. Really happy with the result - with a bit more confidence should be able to up the weight over the coming weeks (especially when I get a rack). Also did them with feet flat on the floor. Back knows I've done a workout, but doesn't feel sore.

Sun 17/10
Upper body day – working away again this week so have to do everything today.
Nutrition:
9:15 Whey in water (40g protein)
9:45 3 x wholemeal toast with honey
11:00 Whey in water (30g protein), 3 oatcakes
12:30 Can tuna, light mayo, 2 x wholemeal, 250ml skimmed milk
4:15 WORKOUT
5:15 Whey in water (40g protein)
5:30 Glass grapefruit juice
5:45 1 1/2 chicken breasts, mushrooms, 50g brown rice, soy sauce
11:45 Whey in water (40g protein)
4 x tea throughout day
Waist feels smaller again, but no change in weight. Unlikely that I am adding muscle at the same rate as losing fat, so I am going to restrict carbs a little more this week to see if I can force a change.
Workout:
Dumbbell Bench Press
--------------------------
Warm-up - 15x15, 22.5x8, 27.5x8
35x8 (95%)
35x6 (95%)
40x5 (100%)
Dumbbell Shrug
------------------
Warm-up - 20x8
37.5x8 (90%)
40x6 (95%)
42.5x6 (100%)
Dumbbell Row (alternate)
-----------------------------
Warm-up 15x15, 22.5x8, 27.5x8
40x8 (100%)
42.5x6 (100%)
45x5 (100%)
Dumbbell Shoulder Press
-----------------------------
Warm-up 12.5x8
22.5x8 (95%)
25x6 (100%)
27.5x3 (100%)
Dumbbell Curl (alternate)
-----------------------------
Warm-up 12.5x8
17.5x8 (95%)
20x6 (95%)
20x5 (100%)
Dumbbell Skull Crushers
-----------------------------
Warm-up 17.5x8
27.5x8 (95%)
30x6 (95%)
32.5x5 (100%)
Bench – hard work today, shoulders felt strange, may be due to way I hold the bar for squats. Managed the reps (just), but no chance of an increase in reps. Intend to reduce weight of last warm-up set next time.
Shrug – exceeded reps, will increase weight next time.
Row – increased all work set weights, made the reps.
Shoulder press – increased work set weights. Shoulders fairly tired from bench. Managed new weights on all but last set. Getting the weight up for the first rep is hard on the last set.
Curls – left the weight down on the last set, managed the reps a bit easier. Will wait until I exceed reps by 2 before increasing weight again.
Tris – hit all target reps.
Overall – some parts really hard just to maintain reps, others managed reps with increased weights.

Strange problem with right shoulder today, may have strained something. Feels sore to the touch, probably a little swollen. Very localised, feels like its the end of a muscle or a tendon.
Working long hours at the moment, so another enforced rest day.
Realised I'm taking in quite a lot of milk (and hence carbohydrates) that I'm not allowing for, so will reduce tea and coffee.
Nutrition:
6:30 Whey in water (40g protein)
7:00 2 x wholemeal toast with honey
10:30 Whey in water (30g protein), 2 oat cakes
12:15 Tuna & cheese ciabatta
1:45 Bottle diet coke
4:30 Whey in water (30g protein), 2 oat cakes
8:30 Chicken breast, whey in water (20g protein)
9:00 Half bottle diet coke
10:00 Chicken breast
No tea/coffee

Brilliant workout, everything felt easier.
Chest - finally managed to increase reps on the last set - nearly made 7, probably only failed in my head. Earlier sets were easier too.
Traps - upped all work set weights, made all reps.
Row - made all reps, easier than last time.
Shoulders - hard but good. Made 4 rather than 3 on the last set, almost made 5...
Absolutely no pain in shoulder at all, wondering if the pain the other day was something to do with scar tissue separating.
Overall, great workout, one of the best. Looking forward to legs tomorrow. Wondering if there's something in training body parts only once a week - enforced 6 days between last week.

Legs - added 5Kg to the squats, only just made the reps - felt hard from work set 1. Really felt the last few sets in my hamstrings, quads are fine. 120-150 secs rests.
Curls - finally getting easier, 2 extra reps on the last set.
Tris - easier, getting used to the movement (although I probably go too deep).
So, another great workout to follow yesterdays'. Feels like I'm moving forwards again after a short plateau.
