Today's Workout Thread

[whoever]

Bit late but Fridays workout. Decided that I like the pyramid of weights so have upped reps instead of going for straight sets. There is a lot of exercises that I will probably do this way soon. Have a pretty decent strength base now so probably time to up the reps to 10 or 12

Back squats 120, 130, 140, 150 x 8 @2min
Straight leg deads 100, 110, 120, 130 x 8 @2min
Leg extensions 45, 55, 65, 75 (full stack) x 8 @1min
Single leg curls 32.5, 32.5, 32.5, 32.5 x 8 @1min

Parallel bar dips body weight +25kg x8 x 4 @2min
Skull crushers 40kg x8 x4 @1min
Pushdowns 60, 65, 70, 75(stack) x 9 @1min

Barbell bar curl 42.5kg x8 x4 @2min
Dumbell incline curl 17.5kg x 8 x4 @1min
Dumbell concentration curl 22.5kg @1min

Could be early

Could be early

I have an indecisive wife and a 5yr old. Rarely am I early anymore. On time most of the time is about as good as it gets

I like it! It's always good to switch things up every now and then.

I essentially will use the same pyramid and weight but instead of upping the weight I will up the reps so doing reasonably heavy weight for high reps. Should take a while to get there. The weight is already decently heavy and although I'm 37 know that if I keep jacking up the weight I am likely to damage something or stuff my joints. I figured that this might be a middle ground so will give it a try.

I went for a two mile run this evening. It was really dark and kind of cold.
This is the first workout in about a week and a half. Last week I was battling the flu and piles. It was pretty miserable which made this evening's run even sweeter.

I workout in my shed/workshop which is fibre board walled and has a flat top tin roof. The weather here is heating up again and with summer temperatures regularly between 35 and 42 degrees c outside it is a sauna inside so today I got a decent fan. Its 750mm industrial strength and really moves some air. Todays workout was less of a sweat session and it will really be put to use this summer.
