I was going to train on Tuesday but today, Monday, is a public holiday & I had the itching to go lift. Won’t change my other training days this week, Thursday & Saturday.
Underhand Lat Pulldowns: 105kg 9, 95kg 8
Hack Squats: 80kg 7, 115kg 8, 95kg 10
Great, great stuff. Added a rep on the top set of lat pulldowns with 2/2 tempo, getting 9 reps with 105kg. And hack squats, added a whole rep to the top set with 115kg, & also to the backoff set with 95kg, just all round great.
Machine Tbar Rows: 40kg for 8, 55kg for 9, 45kg for 9
Solid on these too. I think three 20kg plates would look nice on this & my strength seems like it can dig it, for the top set at least.
Calf Raises: 142kg for 11
Decline Situps: 2.5kg for 9
Hip Adduction: 70kg for 22
Alright, went one weight pin heavier on calves & hit 11 reps, decently happy with this. Decline situps were a massive winner, holding 2.5kg with straight arms above my head & hitting 9 reps is a big win. Equally big win on hip adduction, weight the next weight heavier on this machine, doing 70kg for the first time, & getting 22 reps. The machine caps out at 100kg so I don’t know what I’m going to do here if things keep going like they’re going. It’s taken me four weeks to go from 45kg for 12 reps first time doing these, to 70kg for 22 reps today, & 100kg is the max weight. And I’m doing this with the 2/2 tempo so already slower than most. But it’s not like I’m at 95kg and 100kg is around the corner. I’ve got a few weeks to think about this.
