Thursday
Different approach today. Change is as good as a rest and all that. Really got into the zone on the tricep work. It was a 10 reps kinda day

Bicep/Tricep Machine work
Bicep work
1p to 5p (25kg/55lbs) so 5 x 10 reps

s/s

Tricep work
1p to 10p (77.5kg/159.5lbs) so 10 x 10 sets (way more sets than normal)
On the last 3 sets I ended up leaning onto the machine to brace myself

Over the knee Reverse Dumbbell Wrist Curls
5kg to 20kg/44lbs so 4 x 10
