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!

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….
