Doing new exercises is a sure-fire way to hit PRs.
It was quite swell inducing.
Hard to see much from the video but I’m definitely in 4 arms session. Love them.
Yeah the video sucks. But as far as I recall my arms looked pretty similar to this. (My short term memory might not be the best)

That’s one of my favourite BB pics of all time
<3 every Arnold pic
Dat chest
Cycle 2 Week 1 DL
Deadlift
2 x 60kg x 5
90kg x 5
120kg x 3
137.5kg x 3
155kg x 10 PR
Nice and easy. I could probably have gotten 15 but I planned 10 before the set so I kinda lost motivation to keep on going haha
Batwings
14kg x 10
18kg x 10
22kg x 10
26kg x 8
Done with a dead stop since the bench isn’t very high.
BTN Pulldown
50kg x 12
60kg x 12
65kg x 8
50kg x 12 drop
40kg x 10 drop
30kg x 15
1-arm Cable Row
20kg x 12
30kg x 8
30kg x 12

25kg x 10
30kg x 8
25kg x 12 no pause
25kg x 8
I’m probably getting a bit too fancy with the exercise selection in an attempt to feel my back. Keeping it simple would probably be more beneficial at my current level.
Helluva deadlift your are cultivating there!
Its sexual baby
Sexual chocolate all up in dis sexual chocolate ^^^^^
Nice deadlifts!
@phlegms: Yeah I’m getting pretty “good” at repping deadlifts. I don’t know how big a carryover there’ll be to my 1RM but it sure is fun, and it’ll hopefully help add some mass to my girlish back.
@Rock: It sure is. All sexuality in this log is sponsored by Soul Glo. Good to have you along.
@Jab: Thanks buddy.
I’ve switched to training fasted. Doesn’t seem to have a negative effect on the workouts and it’s way easier. So all I had today before training were two beers for breakfast. Alcoholic style ftw.
Cycle 2 Week 1 Bench
Bench
2 x bar x 8
60kg x 5
67.5kg x 3
77.5kg x 3
87.5kg x 10 PR
Triceps were the weak point today but that was expected since I trained them Sunday. Under normal circumstances they’ll have an extra days rest so it shouldn’t be an issue then.
Incline Bench
50kg x 10
2 x 60kg x 6
50kg x 9
50kg x 7
Hit the chest pretty good. Experimented with not locking out to keep the tension of my triceps.
Machine Press
60kg x 11-6-6
Attempted to do a RP set. It’s quite obviously that I’m holding back on the first two mini sets. I’ll have to fix that.
Cable MM
2 x 20kg x 15
20kg x 12
superset
Push ups
2 x bw x 8
bw x 10
Nice little workout. I felt the chest working way better than usually so that’s quite pleasing.
Nice PR!
Solid benching dude, race to a 140kg bench?

Time to get a power belly then.
Saw The Avengers last night. Pretty meh. I think I’ll enjoy The Expendables 2 way more since I haven’t really read a lot of comic books. My childhood favorite movies was stuff like Bloodsport, Commando, Predator, Rambo etc. so I’ll feel more “at home” watching The Expendables 2. Arnold saying “I’m back” will be worth the ticket itself.
Cycle 2 Week 1 Squat
Squat
2 x bar x 8
2 x 60kg x 5
90kg x 5
117.5kg x 3
132.5kg x 3
150kg x 6 PR
Form didn’t feel very solid but I got a PR which was nice.
HS Linear Hack Press
1pps x 12
2pps x 12
3pps x 12
4pps x 20 PR
Very weird machine. Going deep without rounding the lower back is impossible for me, so these are done with a short ROM and no lockout.
Walking DB Lunges
bw x 20
3 x 18kg x 20
Grip seems to be holding me back a bit. My hands and traps are on fire before my legs but still feels awesome.
Leg Curl
25kg x 12
30kg x 12
32.5kg x 12 PR
30kg x 8 drop
25kg x 8 drop
20kg x 8
Same weights as last time but beat the reps in every set. The hamstring pain afterwards was probably the most painful thing I’ve ever experienced in the gym.
SLDL
bar x 8
3 x 40kg x 10
Not working for me. I’ll have to stick with Back Raises as my stretching movement.
Seated Calf Raises
45kg x 25
50kg x 15
50kg x 15
More weight and more reps than last time. That’s the way we like it.
Great squat PR, some good weight being shifted. I really need to go see Avengers.
Thanks.
I found the plot totally crap but good action. And it obviously looks great.
Really solid skwating as always.
Thanks. I haven’t really been pleased about how squats have felt for a while though.
I’m looking forward to getting a belt. I think it’ll help me quite a bit on squats.
