3 sets of 15 Swiss Ball Jacknives to finish.
And we're done. Cracking workout today, think I hit a PR on pretty much everything! Really happy with my pressing performance, and there was some good high rep pump stuff in there too. No complaints at all. Actually felt like I could've stayed in the gym and done more! Decided the 20 sets was enough though...

Back to school
Lat Blast
21k x 12
24.5k x 10
28k x 10
this is horrible. Just horrible. Still, gets your lats totally trashed after just 3 sets. How's that for training economy?
Chest Supported Row (stack)
35k x 15
45k x 12
55k x 10
65k x 8
75k x 8
85k x 6
different row to what I usually use. Think I might actually like it better...
Ys
4k x 20 x 3
Reverse Pec Dec/Jacknives
45k x 15/12
55k x 15/12
65k x 15/12
3 sets of biceps curls to finish.
Done. Good workout. Definitely going to keep doing the lat blast instead of pulldowns; it works my lats way harder. Think I'll switch to the stack loaded chest supported row too from now on.

Step Ups

20k x 8

Done. Not a bad workout today, was pretty strong on most things. Will go heavier on the extensions next week and try for a set of 10 with 6 plates on the leg press.
Still haven't made a decision about front squatting yet. There's days I think I could handle it then others where I don't. I'm making alright progress on the exercises I'm doing just now so there's no real need to change anything at the moment anyway. Just feel like a bit of a tool not doing any kind of squat variation on leg day...

I thought at the time that 40k for 10 was a PR but now I'm not so sure. I'll have to refer back and check.
Face Pulls
3 sets on the stack with the weird weight
Done. Happy enough with today's workout. Was surprisingly strong on the reverse pec dec and laterals for some reason. Didn't do any core work because i've had DOMS in my midsection all week so I decided to give it a day to chill. Back feels pretty good today anyway. I'll do some core work tomorrow with my arms and then have the weekend off from training.

Arms - I'll log it today even though I never usually do
Pushdowns/Cable Reverse Curls
17.5k x 15/12
21k x 12/10
24.5k x 10/8
Reverse Pushdowns/Cable Curls (unilateral)
5k x 15/7.5k x 12
7.5k x 12/10k x 10
5k x 15/7.5k x 12
always keep the reps high for the reverse pushdowns or my elbows complain
Overhead Cable Extensions/Cross Body Hammer Curls
24.5k x 15/15k x 8
28k x 12/17.5k x 6
31.5k x 10/15k x 8
34k x 8/12.5k x 8
decided to go a little heavier on the hammer curls than I normally would. Why not eh?
PJRs/EZ Curls
25k x 15/8
30k x 15/8
25k x 15/8
still have no idea what the EZ bar weighs... Weights listed are without taking bar weight into account. Almost failed on the last rep at 30k PJRs.
Machine Dips
55k x 15
65k x 12
75k x 10
85k x 8
don't normally do these, I usually call it a day after the PJRs, but I was just playing about after seeing a video of Flex Lewis doing them. I feel it quite a lot in my chest which I'm not sure how I can fix.
Anyway, that was that. Pretty good arm workout today. My arms are making way better progress than the rest of me for some reason and have been that way for a while now. I guess it's because I neglected them for so long, there's more room for them to develop before the inevitable plateau.

Re: New Bob, New Log
did shoulders yesterday but went out for lunch straight after so no logging. Was pretty much just my normal workout only I went up to 85k for 8 of the reverse pec deck and pushed 50k overhead on the Smith for 8. Doesn't sound impressive at all saying that but when you've already done 3 types of shoulder raises it makes it way harder!
EDIT: actually it might've only been 75k on the reverse pec deck. Can't remember...

8 really good reps this week with the 42.5k bells. Slow down, explosive up, good stretch at the bottom of each rep. Attacked it with real focus and totally dominated the 8 reps. Didn't struggle getting them into position either which was awesome.
Decline Smith Press
60k x 12

think I'm going to go back to doing this for higher reps. Not the most comfortable on my joints when it gets heavy.

I'm learning to love the machine dip
Done. Did so much extra arm stuff because I had time to kill before I met my mate for lunch. Good workout today, really happy with my dumbell bench performance. The other highlight was that machine dip, I'm definitely getting the form and can keep my chest out of it now. Only thing is the weight stack isn't that heavy and I'll probably have it maxed soon...
EDIT - should probably mention that my shoulders were NOT happy today and I definitely need more than one day inbetween my shoulder and chest days. Won't make that mistake again.

just a little extra arms work. Why not eh?
Done. Good workout today, happy with pretty much everything. Should've done face pulls instead of the extra arm work but so it goes.

Done. Shoulder feels a little funny so didn't do any PJRs. Happy enough with today's workout though.
Think I'm going to take a week off chest and shoulder training this week, just training back, arms and legs. I'll see how I feel on Tuesday when I'm back in the gym, but I think that's probably what I'll do.
