Chest extremely sore( still sore on Monday as I write this)
9/10 sore
Joints too! Feel like need a rest day.
93.9kg weight has been normal now for over a week. Stopped 2-3kilo fluctuations
Giant set: 3 drop set pressdowns 10-12 reps per drop. Overhead extensions 15-20 reps. Dips to failure.
4 warm up sets starting very light,then have a break getting music ready. Joints ok after.
1/ 42kg: 1x10 1x15 1x12 ( been doing too many reps last time 3 sets of 20 :O no wonder the pump was out of control)
2/ Full stack: 1x11 1x10 1x10 last 10 reps very hard.
3/ 1x10 1x10 1x10 last set extreme. Start to shorten reps to get done.
Overhead Extensions
1/ 35kg: 1x20 easy; joint pain on this set
2/ 35kg 1x20 should have increased weight
3/ 38.5kg 1x20 strong. No issues. 2 off full stack...which is amazing!
Dips:
1x30 bottom out reps
2/ 1x21 pump is too much
3/ 1x23+ 3 extra. [b] Chest feels re-activated/ Sore and full again.
Downstairs Biceps with Watson dumbbells
Still unsure of program
I know it does not say 3 drop sets of Incline dumbbells. But wants Giant sets. Only giving Inclines and Spider curls. Which is not enough volume
So I do it my way: 3 drop sets+ Spider= 65 reps per set
12.5kg
1/ 1x20 1x15 1x15
2/ 1x20 1x15 1x15
3/ 1x20 easy 1x15 1x15 rest on knees between sets.
4/bonus: 15kg: 1x20 and pause to go again. No chance. Not even 1 rep.
Spider curls. Super sets with inclines
7kg
1/ 1x15 1x5
2/ 1x14 1x8
3/ 1x14 1x6
Bonus round: Gym empty: 6pm workout. Should be out by 7.. Stayed till 7.30+
Twists with Ez Bar
5kg/side
1x20 1x8
1x20 1x10
1x20 1x10
Reverse cable curls
17.5kg x20
24kg too heavy: 21kg x 20 not feel as nice as lower weight
17.5kg x 20
Downstairs cable curls on machine

Saturday: Arms Y3T Week 3: Pump not as painful,as last time
The Iron never lies to you. You can walk outside and listen to all kinds of talk, get told that you're a god or a total bastard. The Iron will always kick you the real deal. The Iron is the great reference point, the all-knowing perspective giver. Always there like a beacon in the pitch black. I have found the Iron to be my greatest friend. It never freaks out on me, never runs. Friends may come and go. But two hundred pounds is always two hundred pounds.

Easter Monday: Week 3 Y3T Shoulders and Parkview fasted cardio
Parkview ride fasted: 40 mins 13km's Before Leg soreness hit. I did this ride probably best in weeks up hills. Never any hunger pains once had Oxyshred. And can get through with water too. If not for this fat burner. Think I would not have the energy to be awake 90 minutes before ride and keep hunger at bay.

Saturday calves and RPM 22nd April: 50kg finally back today
Moderate RPM class. Never need to wipe brow or wish it was over. Proving it to be too easy. Still soaked.
Over doing Calves I tell myself.. Going to change exercises.
then
Do a blistering 5 sets with 50kg which I not think was up for. Turns out very strong and higher reps than all previous weeks. Back to where I was start of January before shoulder injury. So 3 months to get back to it
Stretches and 25-30 reps per leg bodyweight shows that I am strong. did a quick set on Standing calf raise with plates loaded.
Not rush in. Prepare mind and body.
[b] 50kg dumbbells. 5 sets:[b]
1/ 1x15 smooth and hold last rep hold/ lots of warm ups really helped. Focussed.
2/ 1x17 decide to leavbe dumbbells on platform. Step up and take them. Less strain on me. A much better start. Take rings off too
3/ 1x16 nearly lost it but recovered fine. And hold last rep at top
4/ 1x17 smooth full reps.
5/ 1x20 Even did 1 extra rep to make sure got 20 done

Sunday: legs Week 1 re try again with Aspro Clear!! No back pump/pain
Parkview ride first up 12.4km 36 minutes.. Just right temperature.. feels good to get fresh air. Went up hill in high gear.

7.20-8.45pm
No one good here. On public holiday weekend. But I am in the zone and care not for those training beside me.

3/ 1x8 solid set everything fine
4/ 1x9 extra reps to make sure
5/ 1x9 very happy
6/ 57.5kg: 1x8 start higher on first 3 reps then go deep. So good have to do extra 3 plates set
7/ 60kg: 1x4 good depth but higher than usual.. More lack of strength than being crushed.
Gave it all I could, not up for another set.
No back issues at all after Aspro clear stopped back pump. No back issues at all. Wanted to train for 3 hours and would have if others working out inspired me.
Leg Press:
4Plx 15
5pl x10
6 plates x 10
7 plates x 8 crush me
8 plates per side: 1x6 Was hoping to get to 9 plates for a few sets

4/ 21kg x 12 still have to lean back even with set lower.n >> 4th set front raises too.The Iron never lies to you. You can walk outside and listen to all kinds of talk, get told that you're a god or a total bastard. The Iron will always kick you the real deal. The Iron is the great reference point, the all-knowing perspective giver. Always there like a beacon in the pitch black. I have found the Iron to be my greatest friend. It never freaks out on me, never runs. Friends may come and go. But two hundred pounds is always two hundred pounds.
