how's your balls
They were strict for the first 4 on the first set of 202, but after 3rd rep on last set I was cheatin a bit. 202 is such a weird number to be using, but I had to because of the gym being so busy. I should get 5x2 of 200 next week. Going to squat tonight I think, depending on how I feel, but definitely tomorrow if not tonight. Going to add 5lbs to squat work sets

Thursday, 23rd June
It went surprisingly well yesterday. I was really tired and hadn't much sleep Wednesday night but had a banana and a bit of lucozade and was ready for action.
Bent-over BB rows:
135 x 10
155 x 8
200 x 6
205 x 3 (I nearly got 4, back getting stronger quickly)
Forward-grip weighted chins:
no warm-up set, had to share machine so rushed this a bit
45 x 5
55 x 4
Arms and back definitely tired after those BB rows.
Lat pulldowns:
2 sets on machine. As I got up from machine WALLOPED my head off the edge of the bar. I was so embarrassed I didn't even feel it. Amazing!
HH DB Curls:
45 x 7 x 2
35 x 8
A short but sweet workout. Going to go benching tonight and aiming for 220 x 4, and maybe then 225 x 3. CMON!

Didn't go as well as I had hoped.
Bench:
135 x 10
200 x 5
220 x 3 - failed on 4th rep. First 3 went easy but just DIED on that last rep. I know I can get 5 reps outta it but I just needed more rest I think. I'm GOING to nail that motherfucker this week. Going to bench earlier in the week this week, maybe on Wednesday. And by keeping sets to a minimum in bench and dips I might be able to do a hard work set again on Fri/Sat. We'll see...
Dips:
didn't bother with warm-up set, stuck for time today...
45 x 6
90 x 5
Tricep extensions:
30 x 7
35 x 6
Very short session. Gotta stay motivated. This week will be my hardest YET.
GOtta nail that 100kg bench for 5 reps.

you are strong

how's your balls
I'm not strong enough at all, mate. Not strong enough. I weighed myself this morning, I ate feck all over the last two days but still up 3lbs. 188lbs this morning. That's a bit better. Gonna have to pig out more though to keep on target. Gaining weight is sooo hard. Seeing slight bit of flab around abs now.

9 1/2 weeks
I only got 9 and a half weeks left until end of August. Not 9 1/2 months! WTF am I thinking? My current BW is 187~. Am I really going to gain 28lbs in 9 1/2 weeks without becoming a fat cunt? 28/9.5 = 2.9lb a week to gain. Blah! Doesn't seem realistic does it? If I get to 205 I'd probably be happy but gotta stay aiming for 215~. Better get eating I suppose!

Bent-over BB rows:
135 x 10
175 x 6
205 x 3 (had another 2 reps left in the tank at least but wanted to save myself for a heavy 210 set)
210 x 3 - good set, no cheating, nearly got a 4th rep - not going to go past 210 on rows until I can get a 5-6 rep
Weighted chins:
BW x 8
+45 x 5
+45 x 6
mililtary press:
90 x 10
130 x 8
155 x 3 (very poor set, lost balance lifting bar that ruined it)
145 x 7
lateral db flies:
35 x 8
45 x 7
db front raises:
35 x 8
45 x 7
My back has gotten stronger again. Happy with this session.
But I really need to consider cutting the partying. I wonder if I'd have lifted heavier if I hadn't been out Fri/Sat. It's obviously affecting my results.
