I've always said if I get proposed to like that I'd say no, because how many times do you get the chance to make a story like that!

Funny how T Mac was laughing.
Is that serious? I'd be able to fit in with the other guys then
If we did that then it might be a good chance to fit in more stability stuff for the rest of the body too
Training:
BB Rows
4x5 @ 176
Single arm cable row (both arms)
2x12 @ 99
2x12 @ 110
Lat pull down
2x8@ 139
1x8@ 154
DB Chest Press
2x12@ 132
11x 132
I couldn't do these with a decline today as I didn't have anyone to help get the dumbbells in my hands while I was upside down.
It crazy how little weight I can lift for 3x12 on the chest press, it's like pushing up feathers for the first 6-8 reps and then my strength disappears almost instantly
Single arm DB deadlift
3x10 @ 88 (each arm)
BW GM
3x12
Crunches
2x15 with med ball
Elevated Iso Press up holds
1x60sec
2x45sec + 44lb plate on back
I added these because with all the discussion about them on here recently it made me wonder if I'd loss strength with them - I think I'm OK but they were harder on my stomach than I remember but had been doing crunches
Yep next Wednesday you'll be in the gym hitting arms and some iso work. I wanted to do this from the get go, but I wasnt sure how you'd hold up. Seems like you're doing great so we'll add in day 5.
Although because you're training 5 days a week, someone will probably say you're gonna die.

Yeah, but will I get abZ?
And that is all that matters.
The decline is too steep, I can't get the DB's on my knees and then lift them into place and the angle is too difficult to lift any significant weight into place once I'm there
I'm going to post todays lifts in a bit but I have a telephone interview at 10, I'm not a morning person so I don't know how this is going to go
You're an animal Rich. Keep the weight low on the front raises. Goal here isnt to kill yourself, but rather stimulate.
Clarification: are you using dumbells for the farmer walks? Those are some heavy dumbells if you are.
Also the cheat curls, are you using a barbell?

With the front raises, I find the weight easy, it just hurts on the left side, it feels like a tendon pain but performing this lift is the only time it'll hurt
For the farmers walk I'm using 42kg DB's which work out 185lbs when added together
I'd usually use a BB for the cheat curls but I used DB's yesterday due to availability of equipment.
I tried to up my lifts a little this week, I've been getting stuck in the trap of lifting what I know I can manage for a while so I tried to push past that today with some success

Look at that 11lb increase on the flyes, awesome. Next time try front raises with dbs, then you'll also fit in better with the other lifters.
Armz day will be in your inbox later today.

You mentioning that made me remember that I actually dropped the last 2 reps on the flys so I've gone back and changed it
I'm off work on Thursday and the whole of next week (DIY stuff and job interview)
