December 28, 2016 - Back/Biceps

Got in this morning for another quick one, and went with my wife for the first time since she was still pregnant ... probably almost 2 years now!

Reverse Grip Pull Downs
1 x 8 @ 120lb
2 x 8 @ 135lb
1 x 8 @ 150lb
1 minute rests between sets

Bent Over BB Rows
1 x 8 @ 135lb
1 x 6 @ 145lb
1 x 6 @ 150lb
1 minute rest between sets, these felt great

HS Low Row
3 x 8/arm @ 70lbs
1 minute rest between sets, good pump here, really focused on MMC

EZ Bar Curl
3 x 10 @ 50lb
1 minute rest between sets

Notes:

All we had time for this morning ... was hoping to get some HIIT and abs in as well. Strongly debating getting back to the gym tonight to do that ... I think I've re-awakened the obsession with the gym

Pretty awesome session again. Definitely getting stronger.

Had a few other sessions over the last few days that I just forgot to log. I got in for some HIIT/Abs and Legs ... the DOMS are horrible again. My punishment for neglecting training for so long. Bring on all the glutamine lol

Pressing strength has come back quickly ..... muscle memory FTW

Yes sir! Body composition is totally changing now as well. I've caved and had a few drinks over the holidays, but now that I'm back home tomorrow I'll head back on the no booze train

[fittofattofit]

You're allowed the drinks for mental health
Hope the training is still going well Michale!

Ha, yea ... problem is with the year and a half I had, the drinks were doing the opposite for my mental health

Training has been so-so. We all got hit by bus sick when we got back to Calgary, and with our little guy's underlying health issues that makes for a scary adventure ... we avoided the hospital though which is super encouraging. Means he's getting stronger and able to handle things on his own.

I should be getting back to the gym tonight and I'll get the workout posted up

Thanks for checking in Andrew!

No problem .... it's pretty hard to avoid those rounds of illness when you have a little one and good news that you're all better. Hope you had a good training session!
