Long stroy short. Circumstances meant I have had to tran 3x in a row which I hate. Particularly when it is chest and tri day, back and bi day followed by shoulders.

Las week I felt so run down by day 3 I did 5x5 press with 176lbs and standing db press with 70lbers on shoulder day.

So I trained lighter AND faster today so I can get a decent shoulder workout done tomorrow.

That's good work, John.
But, I'm curious...
Why did you start a new log?
 :D

 :D

I am going to try to stick to this one and see over an extended period of time if I am able to maintain and make consistent gains as I was always messing around before. Now I am doing a 4x split and seems to be working.

Yesterday was shoulders. I ommitted traps as I was feeling tired from past few days training and also did an abbreviated workout.

Shoulder Press in lbs
132x10 154x10 176x10 198x10 220x6 210x9

DB shoulder press in lbs (Thick handled DB)
105x5, 7, 9, 9, 8

Side laterals in lbs
25x5x10

All done!

What effect do you find the thick bars to have on your presses?
Easier?
Harder?
Same?

I have not known any different tbh so I can't really say.

I do not like the thinner handled DB's in other gyms though when I have used them. feels like it is digging into your hand more.

On Tuesday I had legs/lower back. Worked up to a very easy 420lbs triple.

On my deadlifts on my first working set of 450lbs I pulled a wee muscle in my lower back. I kinda relaxed on way down with the deadlift and the wee tiny muscle that makes you feel winded gave way. I decided to do a few leg extensions and leg curls and call it quits after that. I was pissed as I was hoping to work up to a pretty heavy triple. Ah well.

I feel much better now.

Yesterday I did Chest/triceps. Once again I never dipped or did heavy DB inclines but got a reasonable pump and then left - been real busy and disjointed working late and being up 3 hours earlier than usual a few days in a row despite not going to bed any sooner. Just looking back realised I slacked a bit on inclines.

Here is what I done.

Flat BB press
132x10 176x10 220x10 253x10 275x10 299x10 319x6+1 286x9


Incline BB press
220x10 231x9 242x7 253x5

Incline DB press
70x6x12

Flyes
35x4x12 v quick

CG bench
220x6, 6, 6, 10

Tri PD's in plates
5x10 7x10 8x5x10

Rope PD's
5x6x10

BW Dips
3 sets

My dipping belt is broken. Can't wait to get it fixed again. Also the 70's are way too light for me atm so my gym needs to get the 80's fixed asap.

Exhausted today also. Was up v early to housesit in my sisters as plumbers were round fitting a new bathroom. had no intention to train. Her husband came around home just after lunchtime. He made me a coffee and it really perked me up. Decided I should get off my fat ass and at least do something so I did. Not greatest workout ever but I am sure it was beneficial.
