My Mrs does anything but help me sleep. I have about 6hrs between going to bed and waking up, 7 at best. The first hour she's kicking her legs up and down throwing the duvet around with her leg pains. Then she eventually gets to sleep and the fvcking noises she makes, you've never heard anything like it. Like living in a fvcking tropical zoo.
 
But I digress. Solid session, hope the hammy is nowt to worry about

That still hurts

160kg x 1
200kg Negative
180kg x 2 
160kg x 6
 
200kg felt light in the hands, and got a very nice slow negative. 180 double was fast, wish i'd filmed it as it was best ever, very easy another 1-2 there i'd say, 160kg x 6 was comfy oo, again a few more there. Enough for today, feel a bit beat up but just wanted some work in.
 
Decline Smith Bench
 
40kg x 10
80kg x 10
100kg x 10
120kg x 10
140kg x 6
 
Brought these in as I feel lower chest is a real weakness, not sure I have them set quite right yet, may look at pre fatiguing pecs before these to see if that makes a difference. Chest certainly feeling them though.
 
Negative Dips - 10 second negatives and a held deep stretch
 
BW x 5
BW x 5
 
Trying these out, on a fatigued chest worked very well indeed.
 
Leaning One Arm Cuffed Side Cable Lateral Raise
 
22.5kg x 12 rep pb
22.5kg x 12
22.5kg x 12
 
Log book smashed and side delts wasted from these, felt great.

10kg x 12 rep pb
10kg x 10
10kg x 8
 
I do like this exercise, very unusual but really targets medial head very well.
 
Chest Supported Rows
 
50kg x 15 rep pb
60kg x 10 rep pb
 
Lat healed no doubt, back strength surging back and no pain.
 
Vertical Back Machine Row - Hammer Grip
 
103kg x 20
135kg x 8
 
Yup its back...95kg x 12 last week was twingy, 135kg x 8 today felt spot on, time to get building back again.
 
Hammer Strength Face Pulls
 
100kg x 12 rep pb
120kg x 8 rep pb
 
Rear delts love this exercise, awesome pumps and log book smashed.
 
And that was that, another week done and loads of progress. One more week of my blast before we cruise. The week after next I am deloading/missing a few sessions as its half term and my body has take a hell of a beating since October, time to knock things back slightly for a week. Hoping to start with Coach in March.

Christ 104kg mate. How is your condition now; are you still happy with it? I'm gonna rename myself Tiny Tim [for more than one reason!]

LOL :)
 
Conditions not too bad bud, outline of abs still there, I estimate I will be around 90 -92kg on stage, still got a good few months of off season to go yet.
 
Blast ends next week so expecting a drop off of a few KG in water bloat. 

Cheers Jay...not a statement I ever thought i'd make lol.
 
Well the weekend was good and bad....had my missus up and sleep was deep and very good. Unfortunately Friday afternoon/evening I developed a migraine that made me violently sick all day Saturday...just coinciding with my Level 4 PT assessment...joy...was not good. Lost sight in my right eye and generally felt incredibly rough. Woke up sunday and migraine had passed but was left feeling utterly wiped out with a 'crinkly head' kind of feeling. Very relaxing day though and enjoyed the rugby and got an early night. 
 
In to the gym a little later today as missus didn't leave until later so spent some more time with her then headed to gym. Plan was to work up to a fast 180 bench and then rep 160kg if possible...felt very tired and rough on getting to the gym but warm ups felt good.
 
Session 1
 
Bench Press
 
60kg x 10
100kg x 10
120kg x 5
140kg x 5
160kg x 1
180kg x 3 rep pb
180kg x 1 three second pause on chest
195kg x 1 Lifetime PB
160kg x 6
 
Well I wasn't expecting or planning that. First 180 moved so fast I thought sod it lets triple it, wish I had filmed it but hadn't planned it. Was going to call It there after one more 180 that I did a long pause for but ego got the better of me. Chavs in the gym filming and shouting at one of them deadlifting 140kg with the most dog $hit I have ever seen encouraged me to nail a small pb, despite being fatigued so loaded 195kg and it moved half ok. Chavs then left lol.
 
Stiff Leg Deadlifts Off Low Pin
 
100kg x 5
140kg x 5
180kg x 5
220kg x 5
260kg x 3
 
Brought a form of deads back in to focus on my hamstrings and these felt nice, pretty easy reps still and lat feeling ok. Hamstrings hit nicely.
 
High Cable Flyes
 
3 x warm ups x 20 reps each
23kg a side x 15
28kg a side x 9
 
Used a different machine to usual and it felt good, nice focus on lower pecs so will try and stick with this for the time being. Massive pump and burn.
 
One Arm Cross Body Decline Hammer Strength
 
20kg x 15
30kg x 10
 
These feel really good, the contraction you can get by sitting sideways and pressing like this is crazy, my pecs currently still feel fatigued from these, great movement.
 
Seated Calf Raise
 
80kg x 9 rep pb
80kg x 7
80kg x 6
80kg x 6
 
Log book beaten and nice reps, calves feeling these.
 
And that was that, decent session. Last week of blast this week, deloading next week when I have a week off work with my daughter :)
