Wannabe LEAN! 2020 T-ransformation

Had a stupid long, hot day today and have a 24hr work day planned for tomorrow :cry:. Kept today fairly easy so I’m fresh for tomorrow. Call week starts tomorrow!

Pull ups
Didn’t count but they were extra weak today.

Both 315 sets had very slow lowering to Mother Earth. (can’t remember technical name)

Did a few pull ups and chin ups. Had plans to jump on the leg curl machine but my hammies are super sore. I had to climb last night so maybe I somehow wore them out like that, who knows.

Seated rows
Multiple sets of 20 with decent resistance.

Dumbbell curls
Ezbar curls
Preacher curls

So doing all these curls lately has showed my my right (dominant) arm is weaker than my NON dominant arm… I can do double the amount of curls with better mind/muscle connection with weak arm…
I’ve broken both arms right at the wrist joint and have plenty of hardware in each and limited wrist mobility, only thing I can think of that would cause it. Kinda sucks. Biceps look totally different when flexed. Weak arm is peaked and right arm just looks ā€œfullerā€ and no peak.

Lol yea that’s the only exception I made :joy: I was waking up around 210 till I went crazy at a Mexican restaurant with the wife Tuesday. Now it’s around 212. I love pull ups and wish I could just rep out tons of them.

Lame leg day

Stomach is tore up and I’m pretty sure I’d ruin my new deadlift platform if I used it :joy:

Murdered my legs via extensions and curls.
I also did a few light weight front squats just because I miss squatting.

Finished with a little bi/tri work. I’m determined to make these noodles grow.

Killer session today. Felt like an animal and enjoyed every second in the gym.

I did a metric ton of seated rows, both horizontal pulling and 75ish degrees downward, almost like laid back pull up. Back and lats pumped up huuuge and felt so dang good.

Finished with some curlzzz. Dumbbell, barbell, and EZbar. All types of weights, reps and stuff. Just trying to force these puppies to grow.

I’m a lefty and my right arm is stronger. I did break my left arm years ago, but I think it might be more to do with the fact that I’m a switch hitter.

Switch hitter like baseball bats or you think your wife’s ex bf is hot? Lol

What’s weird is my right bicep is thicker, but the left has more of a peak and looks more like a bicep. They are so tiny now it doesn’t really matter, but hopefully they will be big enough one day to matter!

Switch hitter as in, I jerk it with my non-dominant band. My biceps look the same though.

Good workout today. Sweated my balls off today and don’t think I drank enough water. Started cramping up in my back and lats, no fun.

Dumbbell lateral raises with some serious aggression. Felt amazing. Really good pump.

Multiple sets of heavy skull crushers

Standing tricep pull downs

My right, dominant arm is weaker than my left, I’ve thought it’s due to it recovering less well as it is used more when I’m working.

This might be the case for me as well. I work a manual labor type job. I’ve wondered too if it was because my right arm had more muscle in different places that isolating the bicep during exercises is harder.

I also get a much better contraction, its bigger and I’m stronger with my non dominant hand. Weird but there must be something causing it!
