Someone asked me about high incline db press...

[HarryB]

Trained chest on fri with a bit of back, someone was asking me about high incline db press last week so I video'd a set. The dbs are 50's.

Arms on sat and legs on sun.

Nothing really of note but have lifted my game in terms of intensity. I am feeling good physically and amped mentally.

Saw a bunch of pics of Garth Van de Meer and damn he's got an impressive physique with plenty of time until nats to sharpen his conditioning up just perfect. As always in the back of my head lurks that damn SG and his freaky mass and crazy wheels.

BW on sat morning was 108ish and I feel like I am noticeably leaner than last week. Who knows that seems heavy for me to be in the shape I am in but I am not going to fight it. Just go by what I see in the mirror.

[HarryB]

Did back and bit of chest last night.

Straight arm pulldowns 5 sets of 12-15 reps very deliberate reps trying to get as much blood into my lats as possible.

Hammer strength rows alternating arms 1pps, 3pps, 4pps, 5pps/ 10-12 reps each 6pps/ 8 (Pretty strong for me). Then stripped back down to 3pps and did both arms at once for about 15 with partials.

Front pulldowns 3 sets of 10-12

Bb rows 60k, 100k, 140k/ 12 rest paused 140 to get to 12, then stripped back to 60k and did maybe 25 reps? Back was pumped like a mofo.

Hammer strength incline press, 1pps, 2pps, 3pps, 4pps/ 10 -12 reps each

Cable crossovers 3 sets of 12-15

30 mins on treadmill.

Good workout last night, got a mad pump probably because I had a lot of cals on sunday.

Oh and on a side note after almost 3 weeks I forced myself to take my gear yesterday morning. Can't miss anymore, it's frustrating cos while I feel quite good I know I could be a bit better if I wasn't missing my shots. Cut right back on dosing though. 250 test and 200 deca with 20mg of stan capsules/day.

Thought you'd be taking Tren and Winny/Var and Prop or something mate, surprised you're doing this comp natty is all

Well I missed 3 weeks worth of shots.. but I am not going to miss anymore...

I was going to use all those things but ummmm don't like winny, prop and tren give me site lumps that look dumb and anavar is ummm weak as piss.

Sweet Tshirt!

[HarryB]

Sweet Tshirt!

I try to disgrace it by doing non PLing exercises!

[soundsgood]

Where's the tricep kickback video? :pfft:

Sounds like it all coming along well Big H. You'd def have to be the front runner for the wellington show.

Is the low deca just for your joints? Not really a common thing to run into a show but I can see how it could b useful.

I don't think I am, I think Joe Ulberg, Supry and I hear Phil Nuku. Much more established than me. I'm happy with how things are going and I think I'll come in looking decent. Definitely feeling pressure at the moment, self imposed but it's there none the less.

I run the low deca cos I like it, I feel like it keeps everything together nicely and doesn't make me feel sickly like test does. I'll drop the test out last 2 weeks and drop the deca but both long acting esters so I should stay in my system for a while, I'll just use boldenone and maybe masteron. But probably just bold. I only need gear to hold what I have, I don't see any point in smashing it at this stage. But that's just what works for me.

I'm nervous but excited about competing and hopefully qualify for nationals cos that will be a great show!

[HarryB]

Trained shoulders and triceps last night.

Bent cable laterals 4 sets of 12-15

[HarryB]

Trained bit of back and biceps yesterday and cardio. Main aim was just to hit biceps hard and get my cardio done. I find it hard going to the gym to just do cardio so I do a bit of weights before hand.

I feel you babygirl.

Getting this close to a show, you'd expect it though. Strength is up one day and down the next, and even off season, when you're tired, you're still weak. Just keep on trucking and all that jazz

Yeah shoulders always makes me feel better ha ha ha ha

I am hoping to show something decent at wgtn! make it worthwhile flying over there.

Once I drop everything down and water and stuff I reckon I will be just over 100? Who knows just going to do it and see.

I hear a great line up, Joe Ulberg, Big Phil Nuku as well and a few others. Yep exciting stuff!!

Arms in the early arvo, 4 exercises for triceps and 3 for biceps, then 30 mins on treadmill.

Feeling a lot leaner this weekend than last so be interesting to see what my morning weight is tomorrow.

[HarryB]

BW yesterday 105.5... pretty happy with how everything is going. Energy is ok and strength is ok..ish. But feel like I am looking pretty decent and muscles still round and full for now. 3 weeks to wgtn GULP!

Did legs yesterday.

Leg extns 4 sets of 12-15

Squats 60k, 100k, 140k, 180k/10-12 (felt great)

220k/ 3 (felt not so great :doh: ) then down to 140k/12-15

I am finding a lot of amusement in the fact that when I put my belt on for my 220 squats its useless, yesterday I thought maybe if I put it over my hoody and everything else I might get something out of it... no still too loose. Damn my sumo offseason guts. Better put some more holes in it (too cheap to buy a new one!)

It's a pretty strong line up in Wgtn let alone nationals. I will be happy if I look good and am able to be competitive. Nationals will be a great contest with some great competitors. I might jump to masters for that show if I do it.
