WEEKLY UPDATE


Loving the overeach of back back pumps have been strong every day huge progress been made on my weighted pullup from BW - 15kg added pretty impressive for 2 weeks worth of overreaching calves are undergoing the same treatment now as well.

Body weight today remained around 162lbs hasn't shifted which is odd although who cares I appear to be getting slightly leaner increased vascularity etc I'd estimate bf to be around 12% at present.

As for my goals I'm aiming to get my stats to around 165-170lbs at 10% bf by year end I think this should appear pretty impressive for someone of my height.

I'm sure there is genetic potential involved. I've always had large calves for somebody my size and that includes the 10 years between H.S and when I started working out again.

Low insertions vs high insertions I envy you guys bad

Chest day
So today was probably my best workout so far on this routine and is pretty good considering I ate mostly crap food all day. It's amazing the difference training with a mate makes.

So my lifts went as follows

Bench
95 x 8 ( progress)

Incline
80 x 10

Tricep rope extensions
30 x 12 progress

Dumbell overhead extensions
14 x 6 (the jump from 12-14 is a killer hence only 6 reps)

Dumbell side laterals
14 x 12 (should have went 16)

Oh and

Pullups
90 x 8 (progress is slowing)

One question for you all is I'm having a slight discomfort in my right bicep tendon more towards the lower half of my bicep near the attachment to forearm it's not overly painful more a discomfort any ideas on what is or how to fix the issue

One of these days I'll have to have my wife take some decent pics. I can't take them myself without them turning out like garbage.

Pain occurs during bench most noticeably, pullups, barbell curls

Try taking a rest from upper body training for 4-5 days and see how it feels after that. We might need to alter your form or even substitute exercises if the problem persists.

[Curdsnwhey92]

So yesterday was back day

i know i was recommended to have a break for 4-5 days from upper body however im going away in two weeks for a week in which will probably consist of limited training and at present like i mentioned before its just a matter of discomfort...

Weighted Pullups
90 x 8

Chin up 80 x 11

Row machine Hammer Strength
57.5 x 12 (this is 57.5 each side im loving this machine keeping form really strict and blasting my back)

Rear Delt Flys
47 x 12 ( with these i perform them on the chest fly machine that works as a rear delt fly as well but how do you perfom these i tend to keep chest out shoulders back and perform the fly movement is this correct?)

Preacher curls single arm on machine (trying to lessen the strain on that tendon issue worked well)
25 x 11

This workout seams to have me looking pumped throughout most of the day which im loving vascularity standing out etc

in order to combat the bicep issue im going to transition to dumbells in hope that this cures the problem i will probably using around 44-46kg Dumbells (97lbs - 101lbs) Only problem here is the dumbells go up to 50kg (110lbs) and than a huge jump to 60kg (132lbs)

Great workout been taking fish oil and glucosamine think it may be making a slight improvement to bicep tendon pain will know for sure tomorrow when i attack the bench press. Going to attempt the 100kg (225lbs) and see how it feels really focusing on bringing the bar down to upper abbs rather than nipples as such.

Tricep extensions overhead

Really impressed with the results today closing in on my old strength level on bench with far better form I think what has fixed my bicep issue was the emphasis on bringing the bar to upper abbs rather than nipples as such because I had no pain whatsoever today felt great.

Funny thing today was i went into the gym feeling like **** having woken up at 4am this morning for work and did train till 6.30pm tonight so I'd expect the weights to increase again next week

As for the over reach on back I'm thinkin I'm going to deload over Easter and swap my overeach from pullups to the High bar squat and relly focus on bringing out my quads etc

Didnt get time to do the hammerstrength row machine today due to gym being packed and me being on a tight schedule also my Pullups is starting to be overeached i guess was feeling crap today struggled to do my first set only managed to get around 35 out before giving up well due for that deload at the end of this week which will probably consist of eating too much and skiing and wakeboarding for the long weekend.

Chest Tomorow really keen to blast out a couple more reps of 95kg before moving it back to around 100kgs which is around where my strength was last year weighing in at around 180lbs and im currently only 163lbs.

Was told im looking bigger by a few friends yesterday as well so im stoked i think its just i tend to be holding a pump in my arms 24/7 due to all these pullups hahaha!!! Not complaining....

[Curdsnwhey92]

IM BACK!!!!!

Its been a little over a week since my last update in this time I had a week of rest deload! Although probably wasn't the best deload as spent the long weekend drinking and eating **** although came back feeling fresh and motivated!

so i will start a fresh by starting from yesterdays workout.
