20/15

30/10

36/6 I know I could have got 8 again but I decided to save a bit of energy because of what happened on Friday

40/5FR (got AT LEAST 1 on my own :lol: )

Machine press

77/10

84/7

91/8 This actually surprised the f*ck out of me! I've usually been stronger on regular bench in comparison to machine as well (I know, fucked, right?) so this is awesome!

Pec deck

110/10

130/7

140/7

Flat DB press

30/10

30/7

30/8

Chest was absolutely gassed!

Swiss ball crunches

50 x 3 sets

Hanging leg raises

15

20 x 2 sets

Chest pump didn't hit me 'til I was about to get in the shower. It feels fuckin' great! No one can deny that chest gains are going pretty awesome right now considering I'm not running anything. Surprised this 2 times a week chest training is doing as well as it is considering pretty much no one thought it would really work at all. Chest size has also gained which is good, so I'll post up pics in probably March.

Abs felt separated as hell and actually hurt quite a lot! (in a good way). AESTHETICS! YEAH, WHAT?! COME IN ME BROS!

Hit the gym just after seeing the chiropractor, probably wasn't a good idea.

Squats

60/15 x 2 sets

100/10

Back was feeling good, kinda iffy

140/4 stopped at 4 reps, could have easily got 10 but my back just came in because it was freshly clicked. Fucken bastard.

Dropped back and did a set of 60 for 25 reps

Leg press

7pps/10

9pps/8

11pps/3 DS! 8pps/4 DS! 6pps/7 DS! 4pps/12

PUUUUMP!

Leg extensions

71/20

71/15 x 2 sets

lying leg culs

35/10

45/10 x 2 sets

55/8

35/12

Despite the light weight it felt really heavy and gave me a good pump. Probably 'cause my quads were so pumped and because I was just really focusing on the control more than anything

Unweighted lunges

20 reps each leg x 2 sets

Done. Felt tired as hell. I was just gassed from that dropset. A little upset that my back is doing this but it will come right. I'm still able to work around it. :D

you should give foam rolling ago man. I fucked around with a back injury for months, ciro/physio but wasn't till I picked up the foam roller and got massages now in then it came right. Defiantly worth a shot.

It's just the chiropractor, bro. It hurts after I've just had it put in place so it takes a couple of days for it to come right. If it does persist, I'll definitely look into some kind of deep tissue massage and/or acupuncture.

Not sure if I'm getting bigger or just getting leaner. But my strength is going up and I'm staying relatively the same weight. I am also noticing size increase (or so I think) so I'm having my head fucked with a little. Shoulder veins are coming out more with the pump, there's 4 visible vein lines there, when I competed in October there was only 2.

So yup, had an awesome pump, time to eat heaps.

Chest and calves

Incline flyes (with at least a 3 second negative on every rep)

10/20

14/20 x 2 sets

18/20

Flat DB press

32/8 (elbow was being a homo)

32/13 (Rep PB and almost bodyweight in dumbbells lolol)

18/25

Pec deck (lbs) -SS- Decline press ups

80/20 -SS- 10

90/12 -SS- 10

90/15 -SS- 10

Standing calf raises

15 bounces at the bottom + 10 reps @ 1pps to warm up

1pps/10 x 7 sets with 30 second rest periods

Machine toe press

146/20 x 3 sets

So a fairly normal looking workout, but it was pretty hard. Chest got a really good pump from those decline press ups and it also gave me a lot of range of motion.

Calves got a really good pump too. Pretty stoked with 32/13 on flat DB press considering I had pre-exhausted. I know I should have incline press but that's why I decided on decline press-ups. Just switching it up yo.

I see no one has missed me hahaha

Computer broke; couldn't get on so yeah no posts (luckily for all of you) cbf to post up the sessions but here's some photos I just took. Again, it's in shit light, but I've put on about 3-4 kgs since last photos. The weight looks like it's been distributed evenly because I look the same size, except back looks a bit thicker. Also, I have terrible backne so that probably has like 2kg carry over. Chest has grown also, not sure if you can really tell in the awesome lighting though.

I was just way too gassed by the end to deadlift. Grip was pretty much gone even with strap and I was just fucking tired and wanted to puke/take the best shit of my life.

Had an awesome squeeze in my back and very happy with my development over the past few weeks. Front lat spread is looking a lot better now (granted I had a pump but whatever).
