Been training now for 2 months and taking a break for 1 week. Will start back next Monday. Mainly taking a break to see if my left shoulder improves as its preventing me doing any flat benchs.
Deadline for all my coursework is close so stress is picking up and havent been eating so well cos of it. Not terible but could be better. Anyway, cya all soon.

haha I'm just dying to get to the gym! Never thought it would be this addictive! I kind of want to go today but I know I should wait until Monday... ahhhhhhh!
Anyway, I weigh around 10'7 stone. So from 10'2 to 10'7 in 1 month is quite good i think! But I don't really trust my scales anymore and to be honest im not really interested in weight.. just how i look in the mirror :P

Ok, thought I might as well post 2 pics. One showing when I started two months ago, and one what I look like now. I see a small difference which is nice and it's only been two months so I'm happy!
The start...
... and now. (2 months later)

DAY 25: Monday 14th April 08
Barbell deadlifts: 7.5kg increase
(Warmup 10 x 50kg)
8 x 72.5kg
8 x 77.5kg
8 x 80kg
(right hand)
Felt great after a week break :)
Assisted chins:
3 x BW
8 x 6th weight
8 x 6th weight
8 x 6th weight
Rubbish as always...
Bent over barbell row:
(Warmup 10 x 20kg)
8 x 40kg
8 x 40kg

My form starts of great for the first few reps then when I get tired I slack and back arches and I almost shrug them up. So next week I'm gonna lower the weight and make sure form is correct thoughout.
EZ bar bicep curl:
Some guy was hogging the ez bar so I did some 10kg DBs curls and hammer curls instead. I really am weak when it comes to dumbbells haha
Anyway, I'm happy with the deadlift and It felt good today after the week break... hoping my shoulder feels better for the bench on wednesday.
