Tiredness
I am feeling that tired and with so much to do tonight I don’t feel like going to gym to complete todays back workout after calves this morning.
Here comes the pain again!
As expected with split routines I am now tight and aching in quads, hams, glutes, inner thighs, chest, back and shoulders. Wonderfull! It is clear that compound moves do not harden your muscles ready for the split routine isolation exercises so it will be intereting to find out growth rates of both types when i…
Deep squats, Bulgarian Splits & Lunges
After my 5 stes of deep breathing squats in the hole I thought I would do a bit more leg work. I carried out a few light sets of Bulgarian Split Squats and Lunges. My gut muscles are now aching and tight!
First Session – Shoulder Press

‘Looking as BIG as before’
While in cafe with work collegue I took my fleece off to reveal a ‘tighter’ training T-Shirt and he commented on me looking as big as before with the same size arms as September (compound lifts do not work the arms directly) and shoulders were as big as September but rear shoulders look much fuller….
