Incline Bench 4x (4x3) 110kg
Bench ;; 120kg

Just a couple of things i want to be hitting by the end of the block then i'm gonna switch up the program for something a bit fresher. thinking about that now.

On the 'supps' front i'm weighing in at 16st 11lbs or 235lbs @ about 15% bf def gained a bit of the ol blub since my startin% of 13.5 but hey ppl saying i look bigger so can't complain. abs gone awol.

30TH NOVEMBER
LOWER

Squats 4x (4x3) 90kg rest-pause sets
RDL 3x6 90kg
Walking DB lunges 3x8/side 20kg DBs
Leg curl 3x8 60kg pin
Leg extension 3x15 95kg pin

NOTES
This was a tough workout .The rest-paused sets for squats were pukey and i underestimated how tough they were gonna be , reaching 100kg goal is gonna be hard!

RDL's were great today really moving the hips back and my ROM is improving every time i lift ,i'm almost touching the ground with each rep with perfect form.

lunges were real tough quads and glutes gonna have severe doms.

Very good stuff, I haven't had to convert kg -> lbs since high school. My brain is getting a workout here

1st DECEMBER
UPPER

Incline bench 4x (4x3)
100kg
90kg
80kg
80kg

Wide grip pullups 3x6 BW

Db press 3x8 40kg DBs

DB row 3x8 40kg DBs

reverse curl preacher superset db tricep ext 3x15

NOTES
Rest-pause is just brutal. i was genuinely shocked at how much i had to drop the weight to complete the proper set. considering i had been pressing 120kg for doubles it was a bit strange only pressing 80kg.
wide grips were good done with slow negative tempo ,i figure as i'm a lot heavier in terms of bw at the moment these will suffice.
DB presses sucked my strength completely sapped by the rp sets earlier however pb db rows @40kg!

5th DECEMBER
UPPER

Bench press 4x (4x3) 100kg
wide grip pullups 3x6 BW
weighted dips 3x8 bw+20kg
seated cable rows 3x8
reverse curl superset db tricep ext 3x15

NOTES
R-P sets are hard! gives me some upper body fatigue by the last set.

wide grips feel good ,getting a good contraction but bw is enough of a challenge.

dips are feeling heavy this is undoubtably a combination of not practising the movemnt for a few weeks and r-p fatigue from bench.

trying to train my brachialis and forearms by focusing on reverse curls currently
