Natzo's Log: My Mum Thinks I'm Too Big

[Natzo]

Awesome session, love the exercises choice, exception for the pullover hehe

why?
pls give me your insight on that

why?
pls give me your insight on that

Cause I like to do functional movements, but it's my philosophy of training bro, and the movement you do when "pullovering" is not very common in many situations. But for your purpose which I believe is hypertrophy, pullover is a nice tool. Hope you understand that

I totally understand that bro. don't get me wrong.. I really wanted your insight cause I respect you and your training is a huge motivation for me.
DB pullovers are one of my favourites for back, yes I want hipertrophy, nothing beats a good heavy pullover to finish!

And your workout from today?

Right on bro! LOL it's here..

highlight : almost dislocated my shoulder with a nasty imbalance unracking in the BNP's.. I'm alright though..

Shoulders . tris

MP - 55 kg x 4 / 55 kg x 4 / 55 kg x 5 / 60 kg x 2 (PB)
DB press single arm; standing - 27 kg x 4 / 30 kg x2 / 27 kg x 4
BNP - 60 kg x 5 / 60 kg x 5 / 60 kg x 5
DB flyes - 22 kg x 7 / 25 kg x 5 (PB)

Close grip bench - 90 kg x 5 / 95 kg x 3 (PB) / 95 kg x 3
Dips - BW + 25 kg x 6 (PB) / +25kg x 5/ +25 kg x 5
Skull's - 45 kg x 5 / 45 kg x 4
tricep push down - 45 kg x 6

traps
140 kg x 8


big surprise in the Mp's.. I find it hard to progress in them.. last session I tried the 60 kg but failed to get even one rep.. but I was unracking it...today I cleaned it before pressing and I got two!!!
I think most people get more reps unracking the bar.. but I get more if I clean it..i'm weird..
gonna clean it every time now.. it just has more flow if you clean it before you start pressing, for me when I unrack it I feel like it's harder to push inicially though I start from the same point in each..
as I said I'm weird..

And you haven't seen today's workout..

 

[Natzo]

Chest

Bench - 100kgx 5 / 105 kg x 4 / 110 kg x 3 (PB)

Chest Press - 120 kg x 6 (PB)
Dips - Bw + 25 kg x 5 / +25 x 3



HELL YEAH.
best PB ever - 110 kg x 3 been adding weight in the bench lately and today the 100 kg felt really smooth, thanks to JoaoT for the tip to try the 110kg otherwise I would have done 105 again.
the 42 kg in the incline db felt light too.. what the fuck? LOL .. the next pair of dumbells are the 47's so I had to go with that.. they feel heavy only craked 3 struggling, but I will adapt ; they were heavy but not as heavy as i expected..

one of the best workouts ever. especially considering it's Chest, a body part that I struggled to improve but feels like it's changing lately.

 

[PrinceVegeta]
