Ok, I had a plan for tonight which almost went well.
Flat bench.
I wanted to try a 1 rep max. ( I always work the olympic 7 foot bar out at 20kg or 40lb, not 44lb. It just works in my head and so all my bench press weights need a +4lb on top)
- 130lb x 8 reps x 2 sets to warm up
- 170lb x 8 reps
- 190lb x 6 reps
- 220lb x 2 reps
- 230lb x 1 rep
- 245lb failed (240lb is my PB)
- 220lb x 2 reps to finish
I’m so happy that I had a little left in the tank to get 2 more reps of 220lb at the end. That is the first time this has happened.
Incline barbell went well too with a max of 200lb
Biceps went well (Olympic Ez bar)
- 10kg per side x 8
- 15kg per side x 8
- 17,5kg per side x 6
- 20kg per side x 4
Standing curls (per arm)
- 40lb x 8
- 40lb x 8
- 40lb x 8
- 50lb x 6
Then I finished with preacher curls and some light overhead cable curls.
I need to add that my diet has changed massively and I am having approximately 2000 calories a day less than what I was a month ago (also it’s clean food). I have lost over a stone now and my strength did drop massively too. I am currently on a new stack of supplements and they are definitely helping! I haven’t said anything till now as I wanted to give it time incase it was a fluke last week.
Onwards and upwards…
