I'm training Chest and Biceps today after work.

Incline DB press
Dips
Cable Flys

Standing DB curls alternated with standing DB hammer curls. Supersets.

Might ride the bike for 30 minutes afterwards.

Brutal if true.

Sorry for the loss of your friend.

When you are really young - death of someone your age is shocking and seems so unnatural

When you are really old - death is sad, but expected somewhat and the person lived a long life.

But in our 40's - its a little of both, in the worst ways as mortality becomes more real.

My first death of a close friend was a college classmate who was a broadcast tech who worked for NEP in Los Angeles with the nickname "Falcon"...He just stopped answering his house phone...after a few months trying now and then I got through to his widow who told me what happened. 

I have had a close friend in high school smack his Mach Mustang head on into a concrete truck his freshman year in high school...But Falcon was different, he didn't have an fatal accident...He got sick and died of lymphoma.

Decided to go with a bit more volume for a while trained delts today

Seated front press paused at clavicle - 5 working sets each set to failure taking a bit weight off each set so always fail in the 8-10 rep range
Press behind neck - as above but just 3 sets
Lateral raise - 3 sets to failure with 30 seconds rest reps were 16,6,5
Incline side lateral - 2 sets to failure

Rear delt exercise where stand sideways by high pulley and pull across the body one arm at a time hard to explain but feels great but fuck knows what they called

Rear laterals 1 arm at a time

Rear delt excercise standing with barbell behind back and raise it up and back as far as can brief pause at top no idea what these are called either

How much weight do you use on your presses mate?

How much weight do you use on your presses mate?

Not much mate first set was 70kg/154lb and reduced 5kg each set. I’m piss poor at pressing in general but especially overhead

That's decent mate. Anybody who can overhead press 200 pounds ie. 90 kg for a good clean single is STRONG.

Thanks mate best was 80kg for 5 but even then doubt I’d get 90 for 1 strict as for some reason on overhead pressing adding just an extra 2.5kg feels like a shitload more weight been added and knocks a few reps off

If they clean the weight and press it I would agree.

Reminds me of the Gold's Gym I went to here in South Carolina. Honestly, I don't miss it at all. Invested in a set of dumbbells and a bench and work out at home now. or legs I just cycle, doing sprints 2x a week.
