ok so back has almost gone. this is isnt really good news because just because the pain has gone it doesnt mean the injury has healed...so that means im going to be a little extra cautious about my weightlifting for the next month or so. anyways, diet this weekend has been crap. im fucking sick of this cafeteria food and im dying to go out. too bad none of my other friends want to go out. so that means i had like 6 servings of my weightgainer this weekend to fill myself up because the cafeteria was shut 99% of the time. and when it was open only 1-2 stations were open - the salad bar and the burger bar. yuck. so yeah: diet was shit.
i was supposed to go lift yesterday but on my way to the gym it started raining and i was soaked to the bone. so i come back to my room and as i am entering the rain just stops. fucking wierd.
workout today on the whole was good. im pretty happy.
Bench Press = 10 sets x 3 reps x 165 lbs
last week when i did this this was a whole lot tougher. but this week it was much easier. i could have done another 2-3 sets easily. this isnt really good news because i have this history of bombing on the bench press at the worst and most unexpected moments ( ) but i think this is rolling in the right direction for now. next week ill be using 170 lbs. that will be fun. i hope.
Chin-ups = 6 + 4 + 5 + 8 = 23 reps total
4 sets to failure. good workout. im comparing it to last week when i did this and i must've been shit fatigued from the plane journey coz it was sooo bad compared to todays
Seated Dumbbell Unilateral Shoulder Press = 3 sets x 11 reps x 40 lbs
so i added 1 more rep per set to this. last week it was 3x10 today it was 3x11. im still a bit nervous about these. but im learning to do these with confidence. i just need to rebuild my confidence on these and doing it slow and steady seems to be a great idea.
45* Barbell Rows = 4 sets x 8 reps x 95 lbs
my back is not at 100% so i didnt take any heavy weights. i just did a few light sets. felt pretty decent. no strain on the lower back so im happy.
OH Shrugs = 2 sets x 10 reps x 65 lbs
fuck i was supposed to do this thing Eric had asked me about this exercise and i totally forgot until right now!!! next week ill do this. ive made an entry in my log. im supposed to try and pyramid if possible and see if i can get a few with 85 lbs. fuck i should've done that!
Leaving Thoughts:
