| 27 JULY 2009: SHOULDERS, LEGS, BICEPS
STANDING OVERHEAD SMITH PRESS, 50kg, 3x8 HAMMER CURLS, 14kg, 3x10-12 LATERAL RAISES, (inc 2 1-arm sets leaning out) 10kg, 3x10-15 SEATED OVERHEAD SMITH PRESS, 60kg, 3x5-8 DUAL-CABLE ROPE BICEPS CURLS, 28kg, 3x10-12 SEATED OVERHEAD SMITH PRESS, 40kg, 3x10-12 DUMBBELL BICEPS CURLS, 16kg, 3x10 DUAL-CABLE BENT-OVER LATERAL RAISES, 17-23kg, 5x10-15 (inc isometric holds on last reps) DUAL-CABLE CLOSE-GRIP BAR PREACHER CURLS, 26-31kg, 5x7-12 SEATED DOUBLE-LEG HAMSTRING CURL, 45kg, 4x15-20 LEG PRESS, 110kg, 3x20
That all took about 85 minutes, including three five-minute breaks. I'm a cyclist; I find I don't need to train the legs much in the gym (happily coz I hate leg training). Sipping BCAAs, carbs, beta alanine, vit C and sodium bicarb' during. Current phase means I'm concentrating on hypertrophic rep range, not going for big weights. All my splits allow for supersetting, trisetting and giant-setting. - That doesn't mean I ALWAYS do them![/color]

My chest has always lagged way behind my back and shoulders. A physio put it down to my childhood asthma. I'm bringing it on by emphasizing presses rather than flyes, which are a bit isolationy.[/color]

| I believe your gym should be used for the new film "Carry-on training!" ...or maybe "The love gym" I'm surprised you get any training done at all with all those attractive women wandering about! | |

| Still the boost in testosterone might have been worth it I know what you mean, right this second I have to put off training a few hours due to something coming up...not the same something that came up with you Got to go out now & fix a mates computer then train 4-5-ish..that's so annoying but they need some help & I can delay an hour or so today. So, we're both having interrupted training sessions this Wed Must pack something to tide me over..hmm, protein & a bag of nuts maybe..or some grilled tofu...decisions decisions...oh well speak later, Happy courting ...um..I mean training | |
