thanks for the comments rocky, pickle - it really keeps me motivated!

TruOutlaw, Amped: i prefer doin skulls with the ezy bar but at home i don't have one. Anywayi guess it's good variation and my elbows seemed to be fine doing them - i used quite a close grip and kept my elbows in tight with 3-5 second negatives...thanks again

Today it's Back, Traps n Bis!

Home Workout #5

Back

Deadlifts: (12,12,10,10,10,10) - 40kg, 60, 80, 80, 80, 80: was a piece of piss but unfortunately 80kgs is the max on my BB
Bent BB Rows: (15,12,10,8,8,15) - 40kg, 60, 70, 80, 80, 60
DB Rows: (3x15) - 21kg
DB Pull-Overs: (3x8) - 21kg

Time: 60 mins
Result: was supposed to do traps and bis too but felt too drained - probably from the lack of carbs...anywayz hopefully this should be the last home workout for a while coz on monday I should be gettin my membership at the gym again

[Q80_MuscleHed]

seems like the home workout is boring man :)

[MaKaVeLi]

yeah, only Bent BB Rows n DB Pull-Overs were worth the effort... from monday on - back to some hardcore training!

[Nothin' but a peanut!!]

[Rocky]

Monday

Chest

Incline DB Press: 15kg x 15, 20kg x 12, 30kg x 10, 32.5kg x 10, 37.5kg x 4, 35kg x 6: not happy with the last two sets
Flat BB Bench Press: 60kg x 10, 70kg x 8, 70kg x 7, 60kg x 10, drop 40kg x 10
Cable Cross-overs: 42lbs each hand x 10 (for 2 sets), 48lbs x 6

Cable-Rope Pushdowns: 54lbs x 12, 54lbs x 10 (for 2 sets)

Time: 90 mins
Result: my chest strength is kinda stagnant at the moment so I have to look at some more variation, anyhow when doing DB Press I somehow managed to strain my lower back a little so I probably won't be doing any squatting tomorrow - this session pretty much sucked!

[Rocky]

At least you're back in the gym man. Get back into it and after a couple of sessions you'll be back up at it again! Everyone has these sessions so don't sweat it! Come back harder net time!

[Q80_MuscleHed]

was u expecting to push more reps on the incline man ?? btw nice session

[TrueOutlaw]

good work mak it may take u a day or so to get back in the groove at the gym but it will come bro jus keep banging

[MaKaVeLi]

yeah i think those two weeks away from the gym may have had an effect - at least that's what im hoping for, anyway thanks for the words of encouragement rocky, truoutlaw... q80 - yeah i was expecting at least another two reps out of those 37.5's but I'll see what i can come up with next week
