Put them up on Monday, so I'm on the plane, and hopefully a page or so will have passed by the time I land
Last Shoulders/Tri session today, back tomorrow, and then leaving Disorderchester for Vegas.
Shoulders & Triceps
DB Shoulder Press
- 8r @ 22.5kg + 2ass
Seated Lateral Raises
- 7r @ 10kg + 2par/1neg
Bent Over Rear Delt Raises
- 6r @ 12.5kg + 3par
Seated DB Shrugs
- 11r @ 30kg + 2par & 4 more reps after short rest
Triceps
Straight Bar Pushdown
- 7r @ 64kg + 2ass
Seated OH Rope Extensions
- 8r @ 50kg + 1ass
Rope Pushdowns
- 6r @ 54kg + 2ass/1neg
For the rear delt & pushdowns I lean on a bench for stability, which I think is good. Seems to make things a bit stricter I can't swing my way about or leverage the weights, but idk.
Felt like I was burning even more than usual after that lot, so hopefully settles down this afternoon

Pressing is so tough now I am lighter.
Got a 1x3, 1x2 then 1x1 on 70 today. Meant to be 3x3 so kinda annoying.
But got a 3x5 on 170/180/190 on the rack pull today and it felt really light. Huge improvement there as last time I did it 200 for 1 was really really tough. Should blast through the 200s for fives over the next few weeks, also helps me get used to having the higher weight in my hands for deadlifts.
Banded close grip bench press is something I am really enjoying at the minute got 2x10 at 50kg but had to drop to 40kg for the second two sets as my triceps we pretty fried.
Rest day tomorrow then deadlifts at the weekend.
Really impressive numbers there Marky too!

Getting stronger, just a shame my lower half doesn't work
Back
Close Grip Lat Pulldowns
- 6r @ 75kg + 3ass
T-Bar Row
- 5r @ 50kg + 3ass
Close Grip Seated Row
- 7r @ 60kg + 3ass
Straight Bar Cable Pullovers
- 3r @ 68kg + 3ass
BB Bent Over Row
- 11r @ 40kg + 2 ass
Last session before holidays, and hopefully I won't be too much weaker in a month when I get home

Strong finish there Marky pre Vegas.
As you said it looks like a similar split to the one I've just moved back to so we can compare improvements when you start back in a month.
Regarding the rear delt raise I'd never use a bench. Yes it provides stability but it means you'll never gain the strength in the supporting muscles required to do them without a bench. If you find yourself swinging just use a lower weight, you don't need to be heavy on these anyway as long as you're strict. When I did them on Thursday I stuck to 10kg and felt a really good burn as every one was squeezed hard at the top.
Have a great time in Vegas

Yeah, if it wasn't Vegas, I'd almost wish I wasn't going away, so I could crack on.
I might drive the scooter down to the fitness centre while I'm there for a look. Should be quite amusing seeing the looks on their faces anyway.
At present, it's unlikely I can do them without it, as I'd probably be swinging onto the deck
I use the same bench for BORs and a machine that's built in a similar way for t-bar rows.
I guess I could try doing them sat down and leaning forward?
Cheers, I'll definitely try!

Cheers Rich, that's exactly the plan.
I paid upfront for 12 weeks of 4x weekly, and still have 3 weeks of that left. Plan is straight back to 4x a week the week after I get back.

Awesome work mate.
When you say you're 75% of the way there what's the other 25%? You just looking to rip up what you've got or get bigger as well? Have you got your ideal shape in your head that you're targeting?

Cheers guys... Took a a fair bit psychologically to put that up as I don't like seeing myself in any sort of photos...let alone suspect ones like that..
but the PT persuaded me and reckons it gives a good idea of where you've come from and where you're at.
I want to lose a bit more weight... When I first started 13'2 was the goal as that was my weight when I trained before but that was like 15 years ago.... PT thinks that's probably going to be too light as even though the aim is to lose weight I also would like good definition with decent size so the muscle may make me around 13 and a half... I don't want to be too bulky as I'm enjoying clothes fitting much better etc...and I'm not that tall ... So don't want to look like I'm as wide as I'm tall.
It's going to be a tough ongoing battle ... Age is against me.. I like my grub and can put weight on real easy but I promised myself to really crack on after Vegas so lighter stronger is the aim...

You'll be recreating the southern comfort ad, when I work out how to post my pre Cheltenham pic, and one I took a couple weeks ago.
Not much difference, bar a couple cheeseburgers falling off my stomach
