Really quite ridiculous work, eventually, on the axe.
Sunday (in lieu of Monday as I was at the Osteo)
DOTBTLDL
This was quite simply a case of drive and determination combined with stupidity. I KNEW I'd ache, as I've been having pain since the week before last. But I also knew I'd be getting treatment and will improve. So, even if not to the level I'd like, I pushed and pushed. That it might, as it did, cause me to ease out of any sitting or lying position very slowly was going to be par for the course.
I decided, lately sensible, to high rep / low weight the rest of the workout which resulted in a great brachial and tricep pump.
Seated dumbbell press
7.5-17.5-kilos in 2.5kg jumps all x 20 reps
s/s
Hammer curls
same weights and reps
No delt pump so, if I do this again, a heavier pressing weight??
TPD
8, 10, 12p x 20 reps @

Monday
Coleford, for a Festival of Transport, in the afternoon so sensible o'clock at the gym. And what a session. I almost done myself a mischief pulling on deadlifts. For a moment I thought I'd injured myself but as it is I was just very sore and tender the rest of the day as I am now the following morning.
DOTBDLTL - repsto 130-kilos x 9, 10 and 8+2+1 (almost down on on knee on rep 8 as I suddenly hit the wall, felt sore, carried on etc etc). Walking up and down between the last two parts.
Mid Iso-row
to 70-kilos an arm x 8 reps
s/s
Iso B/Press
high reps low weight due to twinge from before so:
20-kilos aside x 20, 35-kilos x 20 r/p reps, 55-kilos x 12 reps

Brutal session.
Seated Press
Warm up with 20 a side on the iso press then straight in on the rack with 80. 100-kilos x 4 and 110-kilos x 4 hard reps
Hammer d/b curls
to 45-kilos and then a nasty drop set wit 10-kilos @ x 20 reps
TPD
to 16.5 x 8 and 8 x 12 reps
DOTBDLTL - reps
to 8,9 and 10 reps with 130-kilos. Time under tension for the hold (more reps equals more time) and a back strengthener too (cos holding it away from the body is harder than holding onto the bar for me).

So I find out TODAY that the CNP Professional stand at Bodypower had three fat handled dumbbells belonging to Glenn Ross. If you stood up with each one you won £500. I never saw them. GUTTED. But a motivator for the gym (I could be seen muttering and growling as I walked there).
