Ok - another arse session. Well not arse, I did it yesterday and I can really feel it nicely in my back and bi's and hams which is where I was working, but I'm fucked off about the deads. Here was my pull session:


Wide Chins: x 10, w/27lb x 8, w/33lb x 5
SLDL: 180lb x 10, 250lb x 8, 350lb x 2!!!!!, 310lb x 8
BB Bent Row (yates): 170lb x 10, 250lb x 8, 260lb x 4 - w/straps
BB Curls: 130lb x 7, 142lb x 3
Leg Curl: 142lb x 8, 160lb x 8
Chins to fail

Really pissed off with the SLDL. My whole body just seems to ache at the mo. It's like I've pushed too hard and it just feels too much. I don't get it - my other exercises keep going up but I am alowing on the big ones?! How can this be - if the supplementary muscles are getting stronger - why aren't the compounds? Doesn't make sense. My shoulders and pec still ache, my lower back is slightly aching. Think I'm going to change the routine to allow for more rest.
Push/Pull/Legs - more rest time between squats and deads, hopefully this will help my progression and allow for joints to ease. Will take 3 days off (yep, a whole 3 days! :) ) then try new routine.

man those are massive stiff leggeds!!
dont get pissed with them just keep plugging and they will go up or even leave them for a week or two then start hammering them again!!

Maybe you should switch it up on the compounds one week. Say one week you keep the reps real high, then the next week you go low, keep some variety maybe itll shock your system.

Good poundages anyway though, them BB Rows Yates style are a killer, gotta love em.

I'm just a stubborn bastard when it comes to going lighter weight. But I will schedule in a light session in the new split every x amount of weeks if just for my joint's sake! Thanks for the input fellas!

Your curls are off the charts! The deads were still really good, but I have that slight strength loss happen too sometimes. For no real reason about once every month my strength decreases from the week before on the same exercise. Don't worry about it though, I'm sure it will come right back once you're rested up.

Cheers Dave I hope you're right! Push day tomorrow. We'll see...:)

Finnaly he's getting it

And not 'a' light session and not for your fucking joints, those bastards have nothing to do with it.

Gotta go light from time to time
