The 140kg x 6 is same as my PB and I was going to do 3 times the set (previously only done once). Then at my second set I went really close to failure and decided to do 135kg x 6 for the last one.. But then I found the right soundtrack (Slipknot- Pulse of the maggots) and right attitude and got realtively easy 7 with it :thumbsup2:

Thanks mate! :music:

The workout wasn't that good but atleast i got the PB I was going after.. I have been deadlifting "heavy" (yeah right...) for something like 3-4 months and now for the first time I really found my limits :bitenails:
The set felt horribly heavy and I had no chance of getting even one more rep to that:tear:
Now I need a lot more practise and need to get my strenght up a notch by training the deadlifts intensily :gaysign:
Oh and I had to go on low weights after the PB because there was nothing left at my back or legs whatsoever..

Today the iron was heavier than ever.. My lower back is amazingly sore and even lifting the DB's felt like exercising today.. Still managed to get a good workout done and even got a nice pump to my triceps and chest.. The close-grip skull crushers in cable were excellent and I'm thinking of doing them more often as a pump exercise!

Yeah, I know it would be better to take a day off if feeling too sore..
The only problem is that I couldn't do my workout today (busy day) and my mentality won't allow skipping the whole session..
I have to add that the stiffness went away as I trained and my back warmed up :thumbsup2:

we all have bad workouts..it happens...

if you see that you're getting tired and hitting plateus more than the usual.. just change things up.. play with the volume, reps and intensity.

good workout bro!

Thanks bud!
Words of wisdom.. Mixing it up always works :thumbsup2: Next week will be something different! Either high volume/high rep super-set week or 10x3-week, I don't know yet :)

Got an amazing pump to my biceps, which was great! the not so great part was that yesterday I "dislocated" my shoulder for the first time in 6 months. (It dislocates and goes right back.. Old problem which hasn't been bothering me lately.. It used to dislocate almost weekly) So today the shoulder or actually the rear delt was a bit sore and I couldn't do any pull-ups.. Tomorrow it will be fine again :thumbsup2:
Strenghtening the shoulder has helped alot with the problem by the way.. So weight-training isn't always all-bad for ones health :D

EZ curls for the win!, also congrats on the pump after arms, hard to get when doing lats sometimes.
