Blut Wumps Another 25

Week 1 Day 3

Not a lot to report. I came very close to failing the Narrow grip bench set and I think I'll just stick with my normal wide grip henceforth rather than mixing it up with the grips. It's all well and good for week1 but the idea is to move some weight rather than stall on lighter weights. I can work triceps separately if I feel the urge.

I'm getting a bit paranoid about an injection infection in my quad. In a way, I'm glad that the first one ached for three or four days and that this one is about three inches below the entry point. I'll see what the next couple of days brings. I'm hoping that I just have some reaction to the oil/alcohol. I think that in massaging the injection I pushed all the juice into another part of the muscle or maybe I injected between muscles. I have no idea but that it hurts more than the first one but not so much that I'm debilitated. I've read that quad injects can be a pain.

Yeah, quad injections suck big time.....like a direct puncture wound to the muscle. Not a bad idea with the bench work, you can even do 2 back off sets of 8-12 with a narrow grip if you want.

Hmmm... quad injects are my favorite. Different pokes for different folks I guess

Week 2 Day 1

For squats, the weights felt about right. A fair effort but nothing heroic. This is the same weight I ended up on at the end of the Volume phase of the Korte, though so nothing special here.

I threw in a couple of Narrow-Grip sets after bench rather than mess about with switching grips during the work sets. One problem I seem to have lately, though, is holding my arch. The first two or three reps are fine but by the end my arch is almost gone. I guess I just need to concentrate more on pushing with my feet to hold the arch.

I added a 5 Kilo plate to the Needsize abs 5x5. I felt like a bit of a goit wearing a plate as a hat but soon had other things to think about. On the last set I dispensed with my typical dip after the hold.

I was planning to add weight to my hypers but I was running out of time so quickly blasted through them and left.

I think we've been through this: I always do WxRxS. I do typically try to leave no doubt about my notation, though, thus:

I threw in a couple of Narrow-Grip sets after bench ...

and who'd do 12 sets of 4 on unweighted hypers when they were feeling pressed for time?

You've probably gone and confused everyone, now, who has read my log and seen Weight x 5 x 5. They now realise that it hasn't been Weight x 5sets x 5reps but, rather, Weight x 5reps x 5sets. Thanks.

there should be some kind of standard for this stuff becasue half the time people post 20 x 12 x 5, I have absolutley no clue what they're talking about, lol.
