Your delts are nice and round. Perfect for vests lol

Insane volume once again. I guess that's one way of staying warm in this ****ty weather.
That volume cost me a lot! I drove into town as I wasn't going to have time to shower after the gym as it closes early and I was cutting it close... I went into the wrong car park... The one I wanted was £3 for 3 hours, I ventured into an NCP and it cost me £10.50 for 2 hours 45mins...

Good thing I'm not eating toblerone at the minute... :banghead:
'Tis the season.

Somebody actually walked in to the changing room as I was leaving and said '****, it's busy... well it is international chest day'

I was the only person not doing chest...

Fight the power!

To be fair... I normally train chest on Mondays......
Squatting 100kg for 12...I...I can't deal with it.
Below parallel with pauses too.



But seriously, I'm quite happy with how they're coming along. I took a good month or two off from squatting, started up again a few weeks ago and they're coming along nicely, if I do say so myself.

Not the greatest workout ever, felt pretty weak. Didn't eat enough during the day before lifting. I was rushing around all morning/afternoon and didn't get my usual mahoosive pre-workout chicken and rice meal in :frown:

I also nearly fell asleep on the bus into town on the way to the gym, never a good start.
Dat feel when you just can't keep your eyes open on a lovely warm bus.

Going through a phase/experimenting, I guess.

My biceps are really slacking :frown: I need to become more of a curl bro!

Cables seem to really isolate my biceps/give me a much better pump than barbells and dumbbells do. I'm hoping the constant tension and the isolation, coupled with heavy rowing, will bring my biceps up to scratch.
dude, training back but no overhead pulling movements? that's unconventional



^ I also learnt how to make gifs, thought i would share this one
I decided to skip pull-downs in favour of some extra rowing today. Having said that, with the exception of the supinated hammer rows, the hammer rows I do are actually sort of an overhead pulling movement, it's a pretty similar angle to the angle you get when you slightly lean back on a lat pull-down. Not sure the actual name for the machine, but it's more of a pull down than the usual pull back that you get on most hammer row machines. I would add, nomsayin', but I'm not sure if I even do....

I watched that video last night. Sweet Jesus.

I shot gains everywhere.
