My low weigh in of 157.2 came the day after legs, which always happens for me. Weight is stabilising around the 158 mark. I predict a slight drop tomorrow after this big PULL session coming up.
Push was very good and most of all pain free! Was very conservative in my warm ups. Rubbed some tiger balm over my trap and shoulders pre workout to get everything extra warm too.
Session was:
Low incline dumbbell press 2 sets
High incline dumbbell press 2 sets
Low incline dumbbell fly 4 sets 10 breaths in between each set
30 second DC chest stretch (will aim to progress this)
Machine lateral raise 4 sets (haven't never been able to use this machine but altered my position after seeing a post from James of the muscle mentors and completely changed the exercise for me!)
Dumbbell front raise 2 sets
30 second DC shoulder stretch
Tricep pushdown 3 sets
Lying tricep extension 3 sets
Very good session overall in terms of accuracy and being pain free. Weight wise not breaking any records but being very accurate and setting myself up for lots of progression!
PULL today and the goal is to train very hard.
I want to make some changes to my training in the coming weeks, especially to my PULL sessions. I want to return to the basics: controlled but heavy rows, hip hinges and the basic vertical pulls. No fancy exercises, just the ones that will give me the most bang for my buck. I've been watching a lot of Matt Jansen lately.
2 more training sessions and one cardio session on this deficit, then we grow!
Update:
22/05 weigh in: 158.2 (+1 lbs)
