Since there is not much to say about my rest day, I will continue as of two days ago, with workout A:
Workout A:
Wide-Grip Bench Press: 60, 57.5, 55
Chest Dips: BW+15, BW+12.5, BW+11.25
Military Press: 35 (9, 9, 9)
Close-Grip Bench Press: 52.5, 49, 45
Dumbbell Flies: 15 (9, 8, 8)
Yesterday, I reintroduced my old pre-workout friend: ye olde caffeine! Since I had the feeling it didn't do much for me, I thought I might had to take some time off of it. I didn't take any nor did I drink coffee for the past two weeks. I have now started taking 200 mg pre-workout again. I do not feel jittery or anything, but I do think it helps me since my lifts increased more than expected.
Workout C:
Calf Raise: 117.5, 115, 115
Front Squat: 89, 86.5, 84
Single Legged Romanian Deads: 2x20 (8, 8, 8)
Reverse Calf Raise: 84 (30, 20, 20)
Ham Curls: 32.5 (8, 8, 8)
After yesterday, comes today. This morning, I went to an antique market 30 minutes from here with my mom. As a collector of medical and sports antiquities, I was hoping to find some new (though old
) things for my collection. I found quite some things, but what pleased me the most was having found a 20 kg (44 lbs) dumbbell from the beginning of the 20th century, before they had changeable weights, the time of the real strongmen! God, how I love this piece! (EDIT: somehow, I'm not able to upload a picture as JPG, PDF or PNG, so you'll just have to visualize it!)Anyways..
Workout B:
Pull Ups: BW+13, BW+9.25, BW+8
Reverse BB Curls: 28 (8, 8, 7)
Hammer Curls: 20 (6, 6, 6) (I did these with the old dumbbell! :wub: )
Bent-Over BB Row: 40 (9, 9, 9)
T-Bar Row: 60 (8, 8, 8) (it was 60 last time as well, just miscalculated back then)
Zottmann Curls: 12.5 (7, 7, 7)
I also want to mention I started taking 200 mg of l-theanine before bed since 4 days ago. Didn't expect it to be this good: it hits me harder than 3 mg of melatonin and 100 mg of 5-HTP combined! Good stuff..
