1x5 @ 100kg
1x5 @ 150kg
1x5 @ 200kg
1x5 @ 250kg
1x5 @ 250kg - The 250's felt real heavy and my knees were hurting.

Squats:

1x5 @ 60kg
1x5 @ 80kg
1x5 @ 100kg
1x5 @ 120kg

Calf Raises:

1x15 @ 150kg

Thoughts:

Hit legs like a tonne of bricks today, felt good but still worried about the knees. Knees starting hurting 3rd set on the leg press and they are a little swelled up now. I'll see how they are tomorrow.

Thanks for the comments guys, I hate legs day with a passion, but I still try and throw myself into it. Knees are still a little sore today but not as bad as I expected.

Knowing that I will most likely miss training tomorrow, I decided to go and do mondays session today. Only it was on my own as my training partner works saturday nightshift.

Sunday 13th July

I decided to go with dumbells instead of barbell today as I didn't have a spot and it's a bit much asking someone for a 30 mins spot! lol.

Flat DB press:

1x5 @ 32.5kg's
1x5 @ 35kg's
1x5 @ 37.5kg's
1x5 @ 37.5kg's
1x5 @ 37.5kg's - Wanted to try 40's but n-one around for a spot

Incline DB press:

1x5 @ 27.5kg's
1x5 @ 30kg's
1x5 @ 32.5 kg's
1x5 @ 32.5kg's
1x5 @ 30kg's

Incline flyes:

1x5 @ 15kg's
1x5 @ 17.5kg's
1x5 @ 17.5kg's
1x5 @ 15kg's
1x5 @ 15kg's - something in my shoulder hurting so kept it light on flyes

left dips as shoulder still hurting.

Thoughts:

Felt great until my shoulder starting giving me problems on the flyes, had it niggling for a couple of weeks and was hoping it was gone.... obviously not!

Well, after thinking I wasn't going to get in the gym today, I managed to find time. I decided to do tuesdays workout which is shoulders and back, and I will do another chest day on tuesday. Kind of messed me up going yesterday but I hated the thought of missing a day!

Monday 14th July:

Machine Shoulder Press:

1x5 @ 67.5
1x5 @ 82.5
1x5 @ 97.5
1x2 @ 105 + 3 @ 82.5 (went for too much with the 105!!)
1x5 @ 90

DB Side Raises:

1x5 @ 12.5
1x5 @ 15
1x5 @ 15
1x5 @ 15
1x5 @ 12.5

DB Front Raises:

1x5 @ 12.5
1x5 @ 15
1x5 @ 17.5 - this was a real struggle so dropped back
1x5 @ 15
1x5 @ 15

Lateral Pull Downs:

1x5 @ 80
1x5 @ 80
1x5 @ 87.5
1x5 @ 87.5 - owwwww..... really tough here!
1x5 @ 80

Deadlifts:

1x5 @ 100
1x5 @ 130
1x3 1/2 @ 150 - grip slipped so ended set
1x4 @ 130
1x5 @ 100 - had enough by 5th set!!!

Overall Thoughts:

Felt really strong today, threw caution to the wind on the deadlifts and went for it, really chuffed with the 150kg set, even though I only managed 3. Can't wait to try again next week.... they are so addictive!!!

Good stuff dude, Some nice lifts there.

Id maybe consider changing your back/shoulders day, id split them as working these together you wont get as much out of routine as you would if you split for seperate days mate.

Your lifts will prob be more.

Ok, sounds good if you think I'll get more out of it, what would you suggest? Here's my current workout:

monday: chest
tuesday: back/shoulders
wednesday: rest day
thursday: chest/abs
friday: legs
saturday: rest day (sometimes go to gym though, depends how I feel as to what I do).
sunday: rest day

Would you think perhaps keeping tuesday to back, and shoulders moved to saturday? I wouldn't want to do back (with deadlifts) following a legs day.

here is mine dude, Have a look and you can adjust yours, you'l know better than me when your feeling strong etc.

Mon - Chest/Bi'S
Tues - Off
Wed - Legs.
Thur - Off
Fri - Back/tr's
Sat - Off
Sun - Shoulders

But i sometimes change around back/tri's with Shouders once in a while, so back/tri's would be done sunday, and shoulders Friday.

Cool. Do you do any abs work?

I'm pretty much tied to my structure of weds/sunday being rest days. Legs is definately a friday for me, can't really change that as they don't get any rest monday to friday so need the sat/sun rest for them to be ok for work monday (up ladders etc, can't afford to be wobbly wobbly, lol).

How does this look to you?

monday: chest
tuesday: back
wednesday: rest
thursday: shoulders
friday: legs
saturday: rest or bi's+tri's
sunday rest

My strongest days are monday and tuesday, come thursday friday I'm quite physicaly fatigued from work/training. Although I don't feel it until I get into the gym, I think it shows in what I lift tail end of the week.

Do you think I would be over-doing it a little by splitting it up this much?

Looks ok to me dude, as long as your getting rest days and good food in you, looks a good little split.

I hardly ever do any abs mate, prob once a wk if i can be bothered, you ony get abs through low Bf, and a clean diet.

try the work out dude, i bet you anything it will help you even more, as your not doing loads in one session.

Cool, nice one Geo, thanks for the advice. (reps coming your way ).

I'm still eating like a horse at the moment, almost touching 13st now, I think about 3 months more and I should be at a decent weight (I hope) and I can look at dieting to maintain. Top man!
