Friday
Feeling a little more energetic today
Spotted Landon J and a few members (inc female member Sam et al) had a go at my Saxon bar between sets. Gym owners birthday so energy in gym was up
Iso Bench Press
I start from dead stop position (great pec stretch) - no spot too. 40 rep warm up, 40kg a side x 8 reps, 60kg x 8 reps, 87.5kg/192.5lbs a side x 6 reps (90kg x 4-6 next week and visualizing 5 plates a side soon)
Lat Pulldowns
1/3rd stack x 20 reps, 2/3rd stack x 20 reps, 20p (all bar 1 p) x 20 reps
One Handed Saxon Bar work (towards 120kg/264lbs dumbbell strength)
Bar/12.5kg x 3 reps throwing and catching between hands, 32.5kg x 3 reps, 42.5kg/95lbs x too much. Dropped to 37.5kg/82.5lbs x 4-5 x 1 reps each
I used my free hand index finger pressed against an outside plate on the opposite side to the working hand to stabilize the set up. I suspect I need to work to 60kg or more one handed (52.5kg is best to date)

Thursday
Heavy arm day (might have meant to do a light one lol). I didn't refer to my book and even then might have got sessions mixed up. Anyway...
Hammer DB Curls
10kg/22lbs x 20 reps w/up, 30kg x 20 reps, 50kg x 20 reps and 60kg x 15 reps
Tricep Pressdowns
3p x 20 w/up, 7p x 20 reps, 12p x 20 reps and 14p x 15 reps
One Arm Thick Handled Lift
Added a Bulk rubber grip to a handle on the low cable row machine. Pulled like a stiff legged deadlift. Again working on picking up my 120kg/264lbs dumbbell (here soon)
7p x 3 reps @ hand (3 reps one side then 3 the other), 12p x 3 reps @, 16p x 3 reps @ and 18p x 3 reps @ (eqv to 108kg).
Might buy a thicker handle and or use a handle (plus grip) which turns
Bwt: 326lbs

Friday
Sleep could have been better yet I was feeling my oats today
Seated Iso Bench Press
w/up x 40 reps lever arm only 1 at a time, 20kg x 8, 40kg x 8, 60kg x 4 (deliberately) then jumped to 90kg/198lbs a side... but changed my mind so took it up to 100kg/220lbs per side x 3 reps. No assist, blocks (wooden I've seen some use) or spot of any kind.
Seated Iso Mid-Row
40kg x 20 reps, 60kg x 20 reps, and 80kg/176lbs a side x 17 reps
One handed Saxon Bar - 3-inch work
12.5kg bar x 3 reps each (threw it from one hand to the other at the end), 32.5kg x 3 reps @, 42.5kg x 3 reps* @, went to 52.5kg and got 2 x 1 reps* RH and F x LH
*Used my index finger of the free hand pressed against the smooth part of an outer plate to stabilize the bar (might get a photo of this done)
