Not gonna lie, Iā€™ve definitely made a few efforts to stir that up a bit. Seems like a win-win all round.

Dl felt a bit off today, kept feeling like I was going to throw up at top of every lift.
Pull ups were a struggle.
Gave spider curls a go, donā€™t really work with my bench, wonā€™t bother again.

932

Are spidercurls just like regular curls, except while wearing your spiderman underpants?

Iā€™m liking this chest workout. Had nothing left in me for Db bench or Dips, though. May swap the order round after a few more weeks

936

That is a lot of reps mate. Are you following a program or just bearing yourself up.

937

Just beating myself up.

938

Once I work out a good start weight, Iā€™ll go for 10 reps, when I donā€™t get 10 or know I wonā€™t get 10 on next set Iā€™ll drop 5kg and repeat. Is this auto regulation?

939

I guess in a way it is. If the goal is to just work the muscle and get a god pump to make it grow then itā€™s fine.

940

Definitely going to focus on hypertrophy more than strength for a bit, at least til gym reopens. Then I think Iā€™ll run a 531 template for a bit.
