    Did a big shoulders/bi's/tri's session this eve, before i tear off to the states on my J1 in the morning. No idea what to expect training-wise. Don't know what kind of job i'll get => don't know what kind of money/time i'll have => play it by year. i also might not update this again until september. so.... i'll let ye know how it all went then, if anyone CARES ABOUT ME.

    40kg x10
    42.5kg x10 - 3 sets

    Upright Rows
    40kg x10

    Legs

    Squats
    20kg xblah
    60kg x5
    80kg x5
    100kg x5 - 3 sets
    120kg x2
    130kg x2
    140kg x1 fugly as hell, just about got it
    130kg x1 same as above

    SLDLs
    100kg x10 - 3 sets


    Squatting's gone to sh*t anyway. Think I'll go back and do 8 weeks of advanced 5x5 again, that was the best thing I ever did for my squat, and it helped my bench too. Might be more conservative on the tonnage with the deadlifts and really try clean my technique up. Also 3-4 sets of EZ curls and DB Hammer curlz every session, maybe some extra tricep work + shoulders when i can afford it.

    i have a pair. a solid brass pair. My shoulder's constantly felt like that for months and months, i've just ignored it and trained through it. isn't that the manly thing to do around here? it hasn't fallen off yet, i'm just wondering why it feels it could at any minute :pac:
