Tight forearms

I wasn't going to go gym today but I ended up going as I've been going 3x a week for the past 3 months so I didn't want to break my routine. I ended up going later than usual, 5pm. Halfway there and Melbourne's weather took a turn and started raining as per usual. I didn't get soaked that much. Did my core routine, deadlifts then rows but today I couldn't do curls! My forearms were so tight!! I couldn't even stretch them :( I think I might allocate a day just for my arms when exams are over.

100kg deadlift!

Woo! It feels great to be repping sets of 100kg deadlifts! I think I started on 50kg deadlifts the first time I did them.

Any who, I went to the gym later than I usually do today.

Deadlifts:
2x5 - 75kg
3x5 - 100kg

Tbar rows:
2x8 - 35kg
1x8 - 50kg, I didnt feel like I was getting enough ROM from this weight so I lowered it.
4x8 - 45kg

Iso-lateral pull downs:
1x8 - 25kg
1x8 - 20kg

BB curls:
4x8 - 17.5kg
3x8 - 10kg
My biceps are feeling so pumped up right now!! I couldn't wash my face properly before!

Tricep rope pulldowns:
3x8 - level 8. Not too sure what wright this corresponds to.
I observed a guy with massive arms do them, he performed them different to the usual way where you pull the rope outward. He twisted his arm into a flexed arm position. So I copied what he did and it felt amazing!

Today's session felt amazing. Arms are still feel pumped even though 20 minutes have passed!!
