    I've been sick for two weeks now and been incapable of training hence the lack of workouts being logged. Also I've realised I can't really balance 4 days a week + this style of training atm since I'm so packed with uni since I have finals in a month plus will be busy with a lot of social commitments so I'm going to do Jason Ferruggia's MGS program for awhile which is just 3 upper and 3 lower days per fortnight. Also it's a lot simpler in terms of the rep and set range. At this point I'm pretty much just doing warm-up sets followed by 2 work sets of 5-8 for the most part. Today's workout:

    Intermediate - Phase 1 - Week 1/8
    Day 1 (Upper Body 1)
    Warm-up
    - Foam Rolling (lower & upper back, lats, chest and triceps)
    - Arm Swings
    - Shoulder Circles
    - Elbow Circles
    - Wrist Circles
    - Shoulder Twists
    - Scapula Retractions
    - Push-ups
    - Cobras
    - Lying Y-Handcuffs
    - Banded Face Pulls w/ External Rotation
    - Band Pull-Aparts (overhand)
    - Band Shoulder Dislocations
    - Jump Rope (2 min)

    1a) Dumbbell Overhead Press (palms in)
    9kg x6 x1
    14kg x6 x1
    18kg x6 x2
    1b) Chin-up (medium grip)
    BW x4 x2
    BW x8 x1
    BW x7 x1, 90 sec rest

    2a) Weighted Push-up
    BW x6 x1
    10kg x6 x1
    15kg x7 x2
    2b) Incline Dumbbell Row (elbows out)
    7kg x6 x1
    12kg x6 x1
    16kg x6 x2, 90 sec rest
    Not sure if I was doing these right lol.

    3a) Parallel Bar Dip
    BW x8 x2
    3b) Dumbbell Curl
    9kg x6 x2, 60 sec rest

    Notes: I did "extreme stretches" for the main muscle group after finishing the last work set of an exercise e.g. after my last set of dips I did tricep stretches.

    1) Squat
    Bar x8
    60kg x5
    80kg x3
    95kg x2
    107.5kg x5 x2, 180 sec rest.
    High-bar and ATG.

    2) Rack Deadlift (knee height)
    60 x8
    80kg x5
    100kg x3
    110kg x6
    115kg x8, 120 sec rest.
    Hook grip all sets. My grip slipped on 110kg so I decided to chalk up on the next set and increase the weight a bit. I could definitely do more if I chalked earlier. Will try 120kg 2x5-8 next time.

    3a) Leg Press Calf Raise
    60kg x10 x1
    80kg x15 x2
    60kg x20 x1, 60 sec rest.
    Weight only includes the plates, no idea how much the machine weighs. I was supposed to seated calf raises but there was no machine at the gym I was training at so I used the leg press instead, only I realised it wasn't really a good choice since my knee isn't at a 90 degree angle like it is with seated. Held bottom position for a few seconds every rep and had slight knee flexion at the bottom.
    3b) Behind the Back Barbell Wrist Curl
    20kg x10 x1
    30kg x10 x2, 60 sec rest.
    Not sure if I did these right...

    4) 1 Arm Kettlebell Farmers Walk
    24kg x20m x2, 60 sec rest.

    Notes: I forgot to the extreme stretches.
