This weeks progress

Monday was a great day for my chest, the total weight lifted increased for my bench but my triceps were sluggish. Must be because of the awesome work out I did on the previous work out (see the previous blog)

I actually didn't want to go to the gym on Wednesday but ended up going anyway because my girlfriend encouraged me to. It was her birthday on the day as well! HBD baby :)
Performed front squats, leg presses, leg extensions. Overall great burn in the quads that day but my hamstrings didn't get much work. I couldn't get the laying down leg curls to work.

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!!
