Forearms and biceps are hammered now, no pun intended, lol. Will stay on the set and weight format next week cos the last triple drop set was excessively sloppy for my taste.

25 x 20
25 x 11 (fail)

Bi's are done now. So is my forearms and my grip too.

135 x 12
225 x 12
315 x 6

3 x 475 x 12

Calves are shot now but will stay at this weight again next week cos last 5 reps of 475 was more jumping it up and not pushing it up.

Lying Side Raises:
(2.3.2 tempo)
2 x myself x 12 (each side)

Ab work was good today.

Target Stretch:
Good stretching on bi's and calves today. About 5 minutes.

Time/Comments:
Solo today.
Overall training was ok today. Wasn't feeling it as I do some days. That's life. A bad training day is better than no training day. Motivation around 5.

Deadlift Day:

No training today due to extreme lack of training time for personal problems that needed my immediate attention.

I had only 15 minutes to spare so I bloodied my knuckles an the heavy bag for body and head shot combs.
Love some bloody and calloused knuckles.

Week 2
11 JAN 2013
Biceps/Calves Day:

Same here as yesterday. My personal time has been re-directed once again to other stuff that needs my immediate attention.

So; once again I took this 15 minutes and got the heavy bag.
Threw it on the gym floor and got in the full mount position and commenced to ground and pound in basically 1 minute intervals.
Too bad it's my blood again.
Just makes my callouses harder and thicker and that's a good thing.

Back on track for Monday as it is Squat day.

It's inevitable! Whether you get injured on your job, at home, at play or even in the gym. Depending on the severity of the injury and location wil determine whether you will continue to train (modified or not). Until you heal up.
