Legs:
Seated calf raise -45kgby x15
Wide Stance Squat - 80x10
SM Squat - 60+barx7
THIS WORKOUT SUCKED
- I had a wedding previous night, and drank... and drank. Normally I can exercise hungover, as I recover well, but I'm guessing its because I only drank wine I was absurdly dehyrated. I'm debating whether to redo the workout Weds.
- don't worry Omega. I will only drink 2 more times on the program (my birthday; cousin's 21st)
- I took Cheater's relief during the wedding. First time ever. Now here is the thing. I normally eat about 5000+ cals when drunk - akin to getting the munchies. On cheater's relief, I struggled to eat anything. I gave away most of the food, and just ate the (small) steak (thinking I hadn't had steak that day). I'm going to take this product now every time a possible binge fest presents itself

CHEST
- DIET (SORRY OMEGA - an unplanned nocturnal binge. Sometimes this happens to me as an insomniac)
- WEIGHTS:
Hard to compare, as gym was busy and didn't get to use normal machine. But major PB on DB incline bench 45x6. Almost difficult to believe.
- Tricep push downs: 9x4.
- Had to use a different shoulder machine, but I've also used this one before, and am pretty sure it was better than 2 weeks ago significantly

use that testosterone inside of you des and push people off the machines!
jk man, i feel you though. the other day while finishing off legs i was going to do SLDL's and i set up the bar and went to the water fountain real quick. Got back and four jackasses were all doing side bends next to each other where the power rack was, and the frat boys wouldn't leave. I just took a deep breath and left angrily.

Why do you need the power rack for SLDL?
I know the sentiment though. It has really pissed me off in the past when I have wanted to do squats in the rack and (wait for it) someone has (1) wanted to do bisceps curls in their; and (2) needed the squat rack to rest the bar in between not SETS but Repetitions!

Damn it - lost what I recoreded for yesterday's back routine, but I hit PR on 1 arm rows
Today on chest, have smashed PR on DB bench for 2 times in a row. First time I didn't believe so didn't post - thought I must have cheated.
Today: 45x8; 50x4.
However, I have nothing left for cable flies after this.
Shoulder Press has stalled: 7.5x7. They felt very fatigued from yesterdays back session though, so perhaps I should have taken day off (but chest/tris had energy)
Tris - 8x7 (machine doesn't use kilos). I've asked omega advice for this. My tris aren't receiving the bashing everything else is

How are you doing pushdowns Des? It's a good question actually for Omega as there are essentially two different ways to do pushdowns. One is with elbows pinned to your side and using an arc motion going up and down and this is what I tend to do. The other is more like a true pushdown where your elbows ride up slightly and your motion with hands is more vertical. I like using the standing pushdown cable machine where you get in between the cable and brace yourself against a back board rather than standing in front of the cable. Using the back board allows a stricter movement and takes away any swaying or body momentum that can come into play.

I think I'm doing pushdowns in the first manner you describe. I wasn't aware of the second method.
At my gym, there is one machine with a back board, but that machines pulley system is too old, and there are points that lose resistance, so I try to pin my elbows on my body.
Whilst I do feel tension in my triceps, its nothing compared to the other exercises where I feel significant pain.
I have never really done triceps exercies, under the false impression that benching 1.7x my bodyweight (5 reps) would make them grow
