    Chest + Biceps:

    Lesson learned tonight is that benching the day after doing back and triceps is just a bad bad idea. Normally I would have a rest day after back and triceps day but the schedule didn't allow for that this week. Ability in terms of volume on each set was more the issue than how heavy the weight was. Ah well, a not so great workout is way better than no workout!!

    Back and triceps:
    In a bit of a joke of a gym in Paris, it was the only half decent gym I could find near where I was staying. There are no Olympic bars, just lots machines, so have to improvise with pretty high volume. Deadlifting is out of the question anyhow!!

    The heat in this gym was unreal, 30 degree heat outside!! It's like lifting in a sauna!! Cardio will be done outside with a good 40 minute walk.

    Went for a 2nd rep on the 160kg and felt something go pop in the back of my leg, just above my knee on the medial side. I don't really remember how sore it was when it happened (bit of a blur) but I do remember it being a very weird sensation. Wasn't particularly sore afterwards but just felt unstable and the hamstring insertion on the medial side wasn't contracting properly so the leg felt weird to touch. Icing it when I got home seemed to help a bit with that. Anyway, that was the end of my deadlifting for the evening- I felt ok to continue but avoided anything that would put a lot of strain on the hammers, such as rows, for the rest of the session. I'm sure it was nothing serious but I must say the popping did freak me out a bit. Will see how it feels tomorrow and decide on whether or not to go see a physio. Took some difene when I got home too which should help as well.

    Cardio + Abs:

    So, I went to the physio today. Basically, the diagnosis is a strained hamstring with minor tears to the muscle. All of the damage is around the insertion point at the back of the knee joint. I can more or less do everything except deadlifts, rows and anything that puts load on the hamstrings. So, that being said, I got on with cardio and abs as planned tonight.

    Cardio:

    Wasn't comfortable at 15% incline, felt it was hitting the hamstring too much so dropped it down to 5%. Felt that wasn't giving me enough return for my efforts, so settled on 10% for most of the session.

    Incline 15% walk:
    10 mins - 1.08km

    5 mins - 0.61km
