Sat in gym car park thinking what am I doing here
Sacked cardio off last night as guts in bits and pretty similar this morning- very inconsistent on digestive enzymes of late
Right knee painful
Traps still ache where safety Squat bar sat
Left quad aches still from sports massage
Chest and arms sore from Sunday
Feel bit sick
What's a guy to do????
Yep, get out the car and stop being such a phaggott
All this plus sciatica.
Had little intention of doing trap bar deads, as doesn't always pay to do them every week does it, and given all the above, chances were I'd not have it in me, or I'd puke on the platform.
Typed out above response
Walked in
No one there
OK.......if I balls up, no one to see it is there
Mmmm, trap bar deads it is

180 x4
230 x2
285 x1 PB
At old gym they have 25's, which, when working on my own, I go up in, whereas here, they go up to 20, and last week I went up 1 plate per side and was thinking am I doing too many reps? so thought I'd just make it 50 jumps like old gym. Got to 230, and thought if bar is 32kg like other place, 50kg would put me equal PB, so added 2.5kg per side to make what I thought was 287 - I asked afterwards and they say bar is 30kg, so turns out was 285 - still a PB by 3kg, AND I felt like I could of done more IMHO, I reckon 290 was doable, but thought no, take that, just be happy (vid uploading at mo)

+80 x8
+120 x10

Harder than other one, although didn't use straps which could of helped, and arc of plate loaded arms different - this one more vertical plane, yet despite lower weight, felt more comfortable to use.

Surprised myself with the 80kg per side. Was unloading, then thought sod it, lets do a muscle round, but rather than add bit more weight, do a slightly shorter rest periods, then went pete tong as got 15 out at the end

DB ROW

85 x10 PB
95 x5 PB
Was hoping to do this earlier in workout, but they've got new benches on order, and took a couple out of action, so had to wait for one to become free, so didn't expect to do as well. 85 felt bloody heavy, yet compared to the 6 last week, although if i'm honest reckon I could of done a 7 then, I was just plain determined to do better, and looked at the 95 and thought better get 10 on 85 before trying them out, and just hoped for 8, yet just went for it, and got 10. Mmmm, well I did say 10 reps before moving up, fck it,
strewth these are heavy, but going to look a tit now I've put it on bench ready now if I don't do it, and yeah fckin heavy, but got 5 per side, kin ell, chuffed with that.
STRAIGHT ARM PULLDOWN - pin selected
30 x8
40 x10
50 x10
Might have to stand on plate next time to get full ROM, as hit top few times. Machines are different so not fully relevant to previous gym, so can't say if any good.
OVERALL
Given how I felt, fck me that was good, end of
