[Mango]

I have times when id rather not make a certain post in my log either

I know all my numbers ( aside from shoulders and tricep pushdowns specifically and lats ) are lower than what they used to be.

Post em anyways manwhore!

DO IT

Good shot btw, those numbers are nothing to be ashamed of

 

[Line]

It's good to see increases in military presses and dips because those are true mass builders. Overall nice exercise selection and good to see you're not neglecting abs or forearms either.

 

[Chesticles]

That was a good workout. Gotta love the SLDL, yeah buddy. Stretched and was gone in an hour.

Day off tomorrow. Then on friday it sucks because I can't work back because of the tat, so all I can pretty much do is Bi's and cardio, I might throw in some forearm work or something aswell.

 

[FOOTBALL FAN]

a good few sessions there mate good increases and a good leg day but wheres the squats or are you missing them out because of your knee??

 

[Chesticles]

Yeah mate, the rehabs goin good though, but don't want to risk comin back to early to squats to have my knee fuck up again.

 

[FOOTBALL FAN]

yeh I know what you mean its just not worth it to risk worse injury youll have to be careful and strap up when you get back to doing them

 

[Chesticles]

If only I could find some straps lol, my town sucks.

 

[Peanut!!]

The weights I use are the premade weights, I'm going to switch to just making up a bar next week, see if it makes a difference.

LOL
no matter what you do premade or make it yourself - 130 pounds is stil 130 pounds - if you cant lift it dont! you dont have it so dont hit it!
i agree your workout was shit the other day hope you pick up the pace.
ps you've been doing knee "rehab" for the last 18 months - when will you start training legs again?

 

[Chesticles]

I"ve been doing it since august, you musn't be to good at maths.

As you know the premades go from 115 to 130, I can do the 115 easily but the 130 is to akward, therefore, if I made up a bar with say 3 20 lb plates on each side, then it'd add up to 120.

Get me?

 

[Peanut!!]

well if you wrote you were going ahem - lighter - then just say it. trying to cheat everyone out of ten pounds.

 

[Chesticles]

Sorry master.

Ok can't do back because of the tat, doesn't bother me to much because my backs prob one of my best bodyparts, and it wouldn't hurt to miss 1 session lol. So I'll just do bi's and some forearm work and a bit of cardio.

[FOOTBALL FAN]

any cardio is better than none mate some good excersises and weights I bet you had a good pump

 

[Line]

Great weights on the curls, especially those seated DB's! Like Footy said, any cardio's better than none and nice job hitting abs too. Have a good arvo, mate

Don't think I won't Lineo.

God Blimy! Theres nothing wrong with the beday is there?

 

[CJU]

not much of a cardio session??? lol, 30 mins is one hell of a session in my book. i never go 30 mins straight, i get too fuckin bored!

and if you're finding your forearms failing before your biceps, trying doing less volume, more weight on biceps, and do direct forearm training after that to bring your forearms up to par with your biceps.
