Log for Monday 14th April (Back + Bi’s)
Hopped on the scales first thing this morning. Pleasantly surprised to see the first significant movement in a few weeks. I had slightly lowered calories over the last 2 weeks, predominantly from carbs (not much, perhaps 50g a day)..
Trained with a young fella in the gym this arvo. Off from my normal plan (think I’m getting a bit bored of it tbh) so it was good to switch things up a big.
Started with Barbell Curls (in the squat rack too

). Worked up to 40kg for 2 working sets, failing around 10 reps before a couple rest pause reps and slow as phuk negatives.
Next moved onto a Bicep pull-down. Never done before and unsure how I felt about them. Basically underhand grip in the lat pull down setup, but pulling from the elbow and driving straight down. 2 working sets @ 56kg for about 8 reps.
To finish we hit some 10kg plate curls, mimics more of a hammer curl type movement. 3-4 sets at 20 reps, only rest was while the other person was doing their set. Was a brutal finisher…
Moved onto back next.
Started with some heavy rack pulls. I love this movement and don’t know why I haven’t incorporated it into my current program.
Few warms ups. 2 working sets at 150kg for around 7-8reps.
Barbell rows. Haven’t done the barbell row for quite a while but felt quite good. Nothing crazy. Worked up to around 60kg for 6-7 reps.
Finished with a close grip pull-down superset with straight arm pulldown to target the lats. Forget what weight we got up to but hit about 3 sets to finish off.
Home to some mail! Jagged a bargain with nearly 4kg Core Nutritionals protein for $100 delivered.
First pin day for the week, gear supplied by none other than

Altered my doses slightly from this week. Brought my Test back down to 400, Mast up to 400, and 30mg Tren A EOD. Hoping the altered dose and frequency of the Tren alleviates some of the sides I was experiencing..
