Back and Bi's today:
Deadlifts 6,6,6 @ 70k
Pullups 6,6,6 @ BW
No Row today
Chinups 6,6,5 @ BW
Hammer Curls 6,6,6 @ 20k
I'm finding it quite hard this week, must just be because of the week off, though this usually doesnt happen when i return. I've read its best to ease back into your first week back - so thats what i'll do, nothing lost!
Weighted in @ 13stone on the nose last night, doubt thats muscle though??!!

Back into the swing of things now!
Squats - 6,6,5 @ 70k
Stiff Legged Dead's 7,7,7 @ 70k
Calf Raises 6,6,6 @ 100k
Military DB Press 6,6,5 @ 18k
Clean and Press 6,6,5 @ 30k
Diet is pretty good, still struggling to get everything down my neck, though its psychological me thinks. I keep thinking...... i'll get fat if i eat that much. But i'm soldiering on, trying to get it all down!
I've started having an MRP before bed, as mine contain Micellar Casein which is apprently better for just before bed, slower digesting. Not too sure about the extra calories, but we'll see. If i pile on the lbs around my waist i'll re-assess.

Back - Bi's
Our gym was ludicrously hot today - sweated buckets and really put me off my workout. f there's one thing i cant stand its being extremely hot in a stuffy room. The gym was also taken over by Virgin at crimbo, and they're repalcing/updating all the equipment now, which is annoying as it seems the stuff i want to use is the stuff thats out of action!!!!! GGRRR!
Dead's - 7,7,7 @ 70k - too hot to do 80 or try 90
Pull ups - 6,6,5 @ BW
Bent over Tbar rows - 6,7,7 @ 45k - first time doing these - they're ok.
Chinups - 6,5,5 @ BW - still not finding these easy
Hammer Curls 6,6,6 @ 20k
Going on holiday in two weeks for 14days, that'll be the longest i've not been to the gym in over a year, bit scared of losing muscle. Will come back revived and focsued i hope, with a new routine, any suggestions? or should i persevere with this one and carry on up the reps?? hhmmmm???
til next time dudes.

Good going mate....i am watching your journo mate so keep up the good work.
Good to see the reps going up, when they get to 10 up the weight a tiny bit.

Back and Bi's
Deadlift's - 7,7,6 (nearly dropeed the damn thing) @ 80k
Pull Ups - 6,6,5 @ BW
Seated Rows - 7,7,7 @ 65k On a cable machine, as our lowrow and close grip row is being replaced.
Chinups - 6,6,6 @ BW
Seated Hammer Curls - 7,7,6 @ 18k
As i've already siad, i'm toying with the idea of changing the routine after i return form my holiday late in July. I'm not sure whether to persevere with this routine for a few more week afterward, and get up to 3x10 and then switch to a Back/Tri's, Chest/Bi's/Shoulders and Legs/Abs routine. Kinglean - got any advice mate, or anyone else for that matter?
Cheers guys.

LOL mate.....I must start reading these posts more dilligently.
Up to you on the routine....were you still gaining before your hols? If so leave it. If you have stagnated then consider a change.
