Session:
Week 5 - Chest & Back Focus
Week one of a new five-week block. Felt good being back in the usual environment after a disrupted week last week due to COVID. Last week was a deload, and the body feels fresh as a result. Despite the lighter loads during that time, performance hasn’t taken a hit. Today’s session included bench press, chest-supported DB rows, incline DB press, single-arm pulldowns, seated cable flyes, straight-arm pulldowns and rope crunches. Volume and intensity felt solid for week one. Pump came on quickly and I had good energy throughout.
Cardio:
20-minute walk at lunch.
Nutrition & Supps:
Lunch was a satay chicken meal. Pre-workout included a wrap with PB2 and honey, annd then a bit closer to the workout I had pump juice, pre-workout, and ALCAR. Intra-workout included pump juice, creatine, and carb powder. Post-workout was two scoops of whey, Nutri-Grain, and milk.
Recovery:
8 hours and 9 minutes of sleep last night. No joint pain or niggles today. Elbow is being actively managed (tennis elbow right side), and some (presumed) flat foot issues are being worked on. Body feels well recovered and ready for the new block.
