Kinda weird lol not bad though, heaviest I went was 315 which still felt light… next deadlift day I may put them right in instead of conventional deads.

Chest is looking very impressive in that side tri pic. I think your shoulders have come up a bit as well, judging from the back double bi. Good work dude, keep killin’ it.

Thanks brosef. Now I’m excited to start gaining again soon

Hurt my shoulder on the weekend, it’s not too bad but couldn’t do a lot of stuff. Yesterday did chest, only highlight was HS Decline machine - 360x10 (Up 2 reps), and incline cable flys.

Today: Back/Bis

Sumo deadlifts - 135x10, 225x5, 315x3, 405x4 - Pretty happy with this being my first time trying them. Also I did all dead stop reps, whereas with conventional deads I always do touch and go, which I find much easier. I think if I’m going to do sumo’s I may move them to leg day though.

Then Seated row, pulldowns, preacher machine, didn’t push any too hard though because of the shoulder. I won’t go tomorrow (shoulder day), but expect to pretty much be able to give er after that.

looking good man, much improve over the year.

Friggin shoulder is healing soo slow, and I’m still sick… getting pissed at both of these things, but oh well:

Chest/Tris

Low-incline smith - 45x15, 135x8, 185x4, 225x7 (Much more strict)

Decline HS - 180x10, 270x8, 360x9

Incline cable flys - 20x12, 30x10, 40x10 (Up 5 pounds, down 3 reps)

Pushdowns - nope, shoulder hurt

Abs

Aaaand I seem to have strained something in my neck, so pretty much everything on back day would be out. Hopefully I can do something tomorrow.

Arms

Close-grip bench - 45x18, 135x10, 185x6, 225x3, 275x5, drop set because no extensions due to shoulder

Preacher machine - 85x12, 1115x8, 145x4, 190x8, drop set, nothing else due to shoulder.

Then 20 mins of cardio. Got my heart rate up above 190 for over 10 of these minutes, don’t know how normal that is
