Thanks guys!
Holidays were pretty crap overall..... Got to the beach-house on the Thurs & went to the local gym on the Saturday with my wife's friend. I'm not even going to bother posting my numbers as they were terrible - I did a straight upper body workout (no deads though) and I was thinking either their weights were heavy or the ones in my local were light - I just wasn't lifting right. Anyway..... Left the gym, had a feed and had a little lie down (I was on holiday). I woke up feeling like absolute sh!t - took a shower - still felt like sh!t. My stomach started cramping and that was the start of 5 days spent mainly in the bedroom or in the bathroom... sick as a dog. I ate next to nothing & when I did, it just came straight back up I ended up going to a Dr to find out what the problem was & he told me I just had a virus - must have been coming on when I was in the gym - it explains why I felt like a nanna. I was sorted by Friday the 29th Dec - just in time to start my New Years Binge (my mate also got married on New Years Eve - I'll stick some pics up maybe). Needless to say, no gym for me since that fateful Saturday.

Took Wed & Thurs off - heaps of work & bathroom renovations to get done (& my legs were killing me from Tues).
Fri - 19/01 Flat bench 90kg x 6 90kg x 5 87.5kg x 4 - absolute rubbish... Incline DB press 32.5kg x 6 32.5kg x 6 32.5kg x 6 Dips 6 6 6 Tri Extensions 30kg x 10 30kg x 10 30kg x 10 Overhead cable extensions 54 x 8 Rope push downs 54 x 8 Push downs (bar) 60 x 8 Rubbish workout all round really - I didn't wanna be there. I had a crap sleep the night before, I went to the gym at a different time which throws me a bit & my pre-workout meal was sub-standard (on the run). I changed a few exercises & dropped a few due to laziness - I gotta get my ass into gear.

Mon 22/01
Pullups 3 x 6 Deadlift 140kg x 6 160kg x 6 160kg x 4 My grip gave out before anything else - I'll start using straps (I normally only use straps on my Romainian deads as I use a double overhand grip on those). DB row 40 x 6 40 x 6 40 x 6 Face pulls 69 x 6 60 x 6 60 x 6 Preacher curls 25kg (+ezybar) x 8 25 x 8 20 x 8 DC calf work Cable curls 54 x 8 54 x 8 51 x 8 Didn't get into the gym 'till 7pm - I'll try not to do that again. Tues - 23/01 DB military presses 30 x 6 30 x 6 30 x 6 - up next time. Lateral raises 17.5 x 10 17.5 x 10 17.5 x 10 Upright row 60 x 6 60 x 6 60 x 6 Weighted Crunches 10x3 - 20kg plate behind head.

Leg curl (on the new seated machine they got there) 68 x 10 - absolute crap machine! It maxed out at 68kg & I didn't feel sh!t - I'll leave it for the housewives.

Glandulars gone!
I had a few workouts between the last post & this one but nothing effective enough to worth mentioning. I couldn't get into the gym on Fri due to a wedding - the weekend wasn't good either as a mates baby is really sick in hospital, so I've been supporting them by looking after the other kids etc.... such is life. Mon - 12/03 DB military presses 25kg x 10 27.5kg x 8 30 x 5 Lateral raises 12.5 x 12 15 x 10 15 x 8 Upright row 50 x 10 55 x 8 60 x 6 Face Pulls 42 x 10 48 x 8 54 x 6 Weighted Crunches 10x3 - 20kg plate behind head. Tues - 13/03 Squats 110 x 10 120 x 8 130 x 5 45º Leg Press 200 x 10 215 x 8 230 x 6 Romainian Deads 80 x 10 90 x 8 Leg curl 54 x 12 57 x 10 Standing Calf work 82 x 15 (single leg at a time) 78 x 15 84 x 15 I normally do more volume on legs (especially hams) but I was feeling pretty knackered (first leg day in a few weeks & all). I have altered my rep ranges to give me a little excitement!  Thurs - 15/03 Flat bench 80 x 10 85 x 7 90 x 5 I need to get my ass into gear and get these numbers up. Incline DB press 27.5 x 10 30 x 6 30 x 5 Skull Crushers 35 x 12 37.5 x 9 40 x 4 Dips 6 4 4 Lost a bit of strength on these over the last few weeks. Overhead cable extensions 57 x 10 60 x 6 60 x 5 20kg weighted Ab crunches 3 sets of 10.
