What training are you doing/have you done today? (Vol.3)
Discussion
Continuing my theme that less is more so far it's suiting me so long as I don't make the mistakes of the past and progress the weight too quickly.
Shoulders and chest today
Dumbell press 30kg (2)
Lateral raises 7.5kg (2)
Cable rear delt flies 3.75kg (2)
Shoulder press machine 40/45kg (2)
Dips (3)
Battering yourself on fewer sets knowing that you have to go as hard as you can seems to suit my mindset, instead of my usual attitude of trying to save myself for the last set of 4 or 5.
Yesterday, chest and back, flat bench with the 105s so getting on with a pr, then weighted pull ups on the rings, damn they’re hard, finishing off with 5 rounds of L sits, swim around the bay first thing.
Today, steady hilly hour on the bike then a 1km sea swim, diet is bang on and sleep has improved after a lousy few weeks not sure why.

Back and biceps today (Yo bro!)
Bent over barbell rows (I find those quite hard to do to failure as I start compensating and bringing more and more of my arms into it so just went to failure of form) on my last set I just dropped the weight at every point my form failed
Cable rope straight arm pull downs x 2
Lat pull downs x 2
Dumbell shrugs x 2
Then preacher bench dumbell curls x 2 (beyond failure using the other arm to assist)
Chest and arms.
Flat bench up to 105 x 4, 100 x 6
Olympic barbell curl 40kg x 8, 2 sets
Slight incline dumbell 30 x 6, 35 x 6, 40 x 6
Rope triceps push downs half stack x 8, 2 sets
Olympic barbell curl as above repeat
Seated triceps push down stack x 20.
Quick workout, not a great weekend for me, but I went

Afternoon all! Lovely thread!
After a 7 day festival in Romania and the previous 7 days of refeeding and recovery to feel normal, tonight is the first session back at the gym.
Monday is lower, which means Barbell Squats, Dumbbell Stiff legs and Lunges until I cant quite walk anymore.
As I get older I'm trying more and more different styles of training to reduce the days in the gym but to make what I'm doing more functional and affective. I also train at 04:30 before work which is so much better in my opinion, leaves the evening for family and friends!
New program will basically be;
Monday - Lower
Tuesday - Upper / Circuit finisher
Wednesday - 2 mile run for time (Door to door) - Yoga
Thursday - Lower / Circuit finisher
Friday - Upper
Saturday - Run to gym - 30 minute WOD - Run home
12 weeks before my next holiday, will allow a 6 week block - a week 7 assessment/deload - 5 week adjustment block.
Happy training everyone!

Yesterday, full body sesh at the gym, weighted pull ups of the rings flat DB press maxed out with the 105s for 5, then prowler work mixed with L sits and heavy bag lifts, did a swim in the most fantastic bay earlier, 400 steps down then back up but also so serious rock climbing to get off the beach, think finger tip pull ups and you'd be right.
Today, one hour of hills on the bike, nearly 500m of climbing at an avg of 31kph, then a swim to cool off, still getting in around 19000 steps a day mainly due to a bonkers Aussie Shepherd.
