Can I join in??
Cardio: None
Strength: Legs -
Leg press - pyramid up from 6 plates to 9 plates starting @ 12 reps-10-10-10 (could have done more weight considering the reps - never done 10 plates per side before, so need a spotter - none available at the time)
Sissy squat on hack squat - 5 sets of 10 @ 40kg (really struggled on last few reps on set 4 & 5 - had a spotter for this just in case of failure)
Smith squat - 80kg - 4 sets of 10 - 5th set @ one plate failure set (felt I should have done more weight for the high rep range)
Leg curl - kept the weight reasonable for 3 sets of 10 - concentration on the squeeze
Leg extension - Same, kept the weight manageable for 3 sets of 10, trying to hold at the top of the movement with a spotter
Finished off with 2 sets of body weight lunges from one end of the gym & back (approx. 10 reps per leg)
Assessment: Ate really clean after refeed on Saturday. Struggled to eat, as wasn't feeling hungry, had to force feed. Feeling awesome for chest day! Although, feeling a little bloated.0 -
Had a decent workout for back to back gym days. Wed is training day so I'm using tomorrow as a rest day, he always kills me.

Monday is here, yet again!
@hassankarimi82 you sure can! welcome!
Cardio:
Strength: PIYO Full Body Blast, FBS: Chest, Triceps, Biceps done! was fun doing supersets, consisting of 6 moves one after another!
Nutrition: have been too relaxed with nutrition, one of these days, I have to commit and get the nutrition under control!1 -
Thanks guys, this is a great idea! Great to be a part of it. Would love some feedback.
Cardio: None
Strength: Chest
Flat dumbbell bench. 4 sets of 4,4,3 & 3 reps. Third week on the 110'lbs, managing a lot better with the weight. Think my body has gotten over the shock of the weight.
Weighted dips. 2 plates for 4 sets of 6 reps. Again, managed a lot better this week. First 2 sets felt 'easy', but gradually got harder. May add another 10kg next week and go for less reps.
Incline smith press. 100kg, 4 sets of 4-5 reps. Struggled on this, maybe due to doing better with the first two exercises. Practiced good control during the movement.
Peck deck fly. Love this machine. Kept the weight manageable for 12 reps. 4 sets. Had a spot to help me squeeze out the last few reps on each set - so it was a challenge.
Standing cable flys. 4 sets of failure. Strict form and really squeezed my chest on the isometric contraction.
Assessment: Great start to the training week, felt stronger than usual. Diet was on point, although did feel bloated during the day and had to force pre workout meal down, but it didn't effect training.
Hope everyone has a great day!0 -
