    Today’s pull session changed up a little bit

    Pull ups 0x9 0x8 0x7 5×5 went all the way up and all the way down paused at the bottom and really made sure I was contracting my back

    Close grip bent over row 50×8 65×6-50×6-35×6-20×6 quad drop set

    Rack pull always like to have this in there I just feel it really puts my back under a lot of strain and is helping me grow! 120×5 100×17 140×5 last set very slow very controlled

    Close grip pull down 60×6 40×14

    Dy row 120×5 80×12

    Reverse peck deck 32×6 23×12

    Ez bar preacher 35×6 35×4-15×12

    Was nice to change up the exercises this session will stick with this session for the next 4 sessions and try to push up all of these lifts felt strong today legs tomorrow

    Single leg hammer strength press 50×10 75×7 increase in volume

    Hyper extensions 40×10 2 sets

    Dead lift 120×5 3 sets

    Donkey curls single leg 15×7 2 sets backed off to 5×16

    Abductor 80×10 85×10

    Like I said rest today push tomorrow lots of sleep late night for work tomorrow so able to get a good amount of sleep and really go after it tomorrow!!

    Push was a bit of a wash yesterday mixed up the exercises
    Incline hammer strength 100×6 backed off to 60×12
    Flat db press 35×6 backed off to 30×10
    Standing military press 60×4 2sets backed off to 40×10
    Db side raise 20×6 10×15 strict form
    Tricep extension 2 sets 32.5×8
    Dips 30×4 2 sets last set drop set 30×4 15×4 0x10

    Today pull session
    Chin ups 4 sets all increased by 1 rep
    0x9 3 sets 5×6
    Bar bell bent over row 90×9 70×15
    Rack pull 130×10 100×20 went all out on the last set 160×5 went extremely light headed after this set
    Lat pull down 90×9 60×15
    Hammer strength dy row 120×6 80x 15
    Face pull 32.5×7 22.5×15

    In the end this work out turned out to be one of my better ones recently first 3 exercises really challenged me mentally was struggling for focus jusy changed my pre workout and I’m wondering wether this is having any effect or not on my mental state will continue with it for another couple of workouts but if it continues I am going to switch back to one I have previously used that I know I can tolerate

    Sunday rest day returned to work after a weeks holiday used the day as a rest day to get back into the swing of things

    Today push

    Incline db 40×8 extra rep 32.5×12 went down from the 35s to really feel the squeeze

    Mid hammer strength press 3 sets
    60×14 120×8 up 1 rep 130×5 new pb

    Standing Viking press sets 50×14 65×8 moved the weight up +5 kg 80×5 really struggle with this one managed to equal last sessions work but was a struggle

    Two sets of front laterals 7.5×20 wasn’t expecting these to be that easy went to failure 17.5×7 pb

    Tricep extensions 2 sets both increased on last week used the rope which I find gives me a better squeeze and contraction

    Cuffed side raises 2 sets find these a bit difficult but really feel the tention and can focus on the movement did 1 heavy set 7.5×7 and backed off and did 3×15

    Weighted dips last 0x10 then put the weight on 30×6 for two sets both increased by 1 rep

    Good session today felt quiet fresh didn’t get enough food in prior to my work out making this evening a bit of a nightmare to get it all in will adjust for tomorrow
