Tuesday
Forgot to refer to the previous entry for last Tuesday. So played it by ear
Seated Iso Press
facing in
w/up x 40 reps, 10kg x 20 reps, 20kg x 20 reps, 30kg x 20 reps, 40kg x 16 reps
Dumbbell Side Laterals
10kg x 3 x 18 reps
Thick Handled Dumbbell Work
I'm going to buy (next 24 hours or so) a 120kg/264lbs 'Holle' Dumbbell and work to one hand lift it. So training started today. Using a standard pro style dumbbell plus a 'Bulk' (supps company) rubber grip to fatten the handle out to 2+ inches.
50kg x 1 rep, 70kg x 1 rep. Then 90kg/198lbs x 3 reps LH and 5 reps RH
Bwt: 326lbs

Friday
Feeling a little more energetic today
Spotted Landon J and a few members (inc female member Sam et al) had a go at my Saxon bar between sets. Gym owners birthday so energy in gym was up
Iso Bench Press
I start from dead stop position (great pec stretch) - no spot too. 40 rep warm up, 40kg a side x 8 reps, 60kg x 8 reps, 87.5kg/192.5lbs a side x 6 reps (90kg x 4-6 next week and visualizing 5 plates a side soon)
Lat Pulldowns
1/3rd stack x 20 reps, 2/3rd stack x 20 reps, 20p (all bar 1 p) x 20 reps
One Handed Saxon Bar work (towards 120kg/264lbs dumbbell strength)
Bar/12.5kg x 3 reps throwing and catching between hands, 32.5kg x 3 reps, 42.5kg/95lbs x too much. Dropped to 37.5kg/82.5lbs x 4-5 x 1 reps each
I used my free hand index finger pressed against an outside plate on the opposite side to the working hand to stabilize the set up. I suspect I need to work to 60kg or more one handed (52.5kg is best to date)
