Week 3 Intensity Night

Week 3 Intensity Day

Well today was an eye opener hitting the gym. The past few days I have felt better than I have in some time. My energy levels are up and my head feels clearer than it has in a few months. Amazing what changing medications can do.

Because I have been feeling better I was really looking forward to going to the gym today and it didn't disappoint. I got there and got straight into the rack and it went like this.



Squats - Squats tonight were a worry getting into them. Last week I had this pins and needles in my face and was really wiped out by my set. So much so that I had to have a seat and rest. Tonight warming up felt good, usually things start to feel heavy around 140kgs but tonight I went right up to my work set feeling right into it. Next week its add another 2.5kgs. I'll add that every week until I get tapped out and lower to 3 rep sets.

Bench Press - kinda went like squats. I warmed up to 100kgs feeling good but I found a guy to spot for my work set just to be safe. All my reps felt strong and I could have hit the weight for a couple more. Next week I'll be smoking it again on my way to a 3 plate bench.

Sumo Deadlifts- I adjusted my stance wider to a more true sumo stance and things felt pretty good. This is an example of hitting the move from a different angle to promote growth. Oh, And opted for the rainbow power socks for deadlifts tonight.

Deadlifts- I am not move up in weight here until I am moving weight easily. This weight isn't really hard but I want to take time and work the back slowly and build some strength.

Back Extensions - Tonight I added 10kgs and backed down to 12 reps. No big problems getting done so next time I think I'll go with a 20kgs plate. A few weeks of these will help build the back up.
