Oh Heck! A lot of my best photos are so old they need scanning!!!I'll have a look around ...it's going to take some sorting. Other 'post film' stuff (ie digital stuff; a lot of it is crap!!!!)

Nick+ · 03-29-2006, 01:13 PM

Chest workout today , a rather uninspired affair I fear.... I had eaten a tin of tuna about 1 1/2 hours before the workout and the taste of this fish appeared to be resting in the throat........

I am also suffering from a perpetual weakness in the left arm (possibly near to the shoulder).The left arm 'fades' before the right, which mucks up the bench presses especially..... Oddly enough in the bent over row I don't seem to have this problem. All in all I'm a lousy bench presser.... 58kgs/127lbs what a joke!!!!! I was doing more last year, but getting back up there seems like a long running bloody nightmare.

Legs--- good workout nice and intense, reeling around dizzy after the squat

b_reed23 · 03-30-2006, 12:58 PM

No never a shake or anything else 1.5-2hrs before a workout. I pushed the squat quite hard, that did it I think....

31 03 06 BACK AND SHOULDERS
Dropping the weight (next workout)for the last three sets of bent legged deadlift from 68 to 60kgs as I'm making no headway, with that damned exercise.

ARMS on the 1st April 2006. I'm becoming a firm convert to gripping exercises at the end of some work-outs using the ivenko gripper. My forearms were huge after using it at the end of this workout. Don't understand why some people don't do gripping work at all.........

Right upper arm 17 1/4" after workout. Left arm still trailing by almost an inch-Damn it!

Upper arm size really showing up here, usually it's not so visible, which is good, because there may be sod all I can do about it!

Nick+ · 04-04-2006, 08:50 AM

You're starting to look like you're thickening up. That's fantastic. As far as asymmetry in your arms is concerned, perhaps you might want to throw another set of one-armed curls onto your w/o regimen...just for your left arm. I don't know if this difference in size is something determined by genetics or otherwise. I like to think that we can change something about ourselves if we try hard enough. On the other hand, I might just be fooling myself. What was the question again?

Nick+ · 04-04-2006, 11:18 AM

Thanks Decker..... There might be more to this "left side" weakness than meets the eye.... I get pains in the left shoulder, during the night and day, it could be rheumatism(?) -who knows...

b_reed23 · 04-04-2006, 12:38 PM

you are doing fantastic Nick....I am so proud of you for getting 4 days a week in for the last month...you've really stepped it up a notch!

5th April 2006 Legs

6th April 2006 Shoulders/Back

Dropped dead lift weight by 8kgs(17.5lbs), it was proving totally impossible to increase reps before. My grip is still a problem on the bar.

Photos of back after the workout: (horrible photos must stop posting such things.....)

I'm starting a 10 week course on Monday ,and won't be able to get to 'my weights' except on the weekends.So I'm having seriously consider finding some sort of Gym....... in the city which I am going to....ugh!

b_reed23 · 04-06-2006, 12:22 PM

since you can only do weekends, are you going to go with an upper/lower split or a once a week fullbody?? either one has it's benefits, as long as you eat enough food to keep your size

Seanp156 · 04-06-2006, 12:22 PM
