    I'm trying to get my temp down. The heatwave should be over within tomorrow, a ten degree drop is expected. Hope it's the last this year.

    Will definitely be worth the effort! I can say this: Do as much of it as you can while you're relatively young so you get the most benefit from it.
    Just the fact you can still squeeze in some lifting time at all is pretty f-in impressive.

    I try my best yr1 isn't the worst but its long. Yr2 is more involved but theres less fluff classes if that makes any sense. I cannot wait to specialise in accounting as I think that degree will serve me better than the other generic ones out there tbh.

    I'm an high school dropout and that precludes me many possibilities, abs no will whatsoever to join an evening class (four years to go) but in the special country I live there is chance to obtain a diploma by alternative means...

    Accounting degrees are the way to go

    There will always be a need for accountants.

    Brutal back work yesterday:

    Pulldowns: 3 heavy. Back to normal weight!
    35 degree rows on smith: 3 sets heavy
    T bars: 3 sets, still staying a plate light for safety
    Low cable row seated on end of bench to change the angle. 3 sets, higher reps to see where I feel it. Not bad
    Dumbell rows simultaneous on 35 degree bench
    Shrugs

    Killed it.

    That is my logic around it too. That it will serve me better and as you say no matter where you are you need to know the sums.

    Is this a regular thing mate, isolations before compound?

    I started doing it for delts about 4 weeks before my comp and will start doing it for chest after my 2 holidays. It's a real ego killer on delts when you come to your presses but like you, I seem to get a good (better) burn doing them this way.

    Happy weekend people!

    Done cardio and core last two days.

    This morning went in and had a good session with arms. I'm not sure if it's the time off or the high reps, even with some drops. But I leave tight as hell. Arms feel great.

    Straight bar pd
    Reverse grip pd
    Db over heads
    Hammer dips tried to do super set of kick backs, but have to get a better angle.

    Seated palms up db curls
    Hammer machine curls
    Small straight bar curls

    Wanted to get a iso movement but was spent.

    And btw....chef is the best occupation to get into hahahah :/

    Up early, I'll get 2 breakfasts in before I go train quads at 9:30.

    Off to Greece for a weeks R&R early tomorrow. There's a gym in the hotel so there will be training of some description going on.

    Aye, I'm looking forward to training hard with isolating first. Whole new workouts when I get back from all 3 of my holidays, mid September.

    Sadly (I think) all my holidays/weekends away mean I can compete at Nationals especially as they are in my home City but I'll get a ticket for one of the days and go be a spectator.

    Settled in at work. Will post up my lift later on when I get time. Working weights were only 50-65% of my last "normal" amount before the shoulder/arm problem. About my only option is to go with volume for right now, so I did that. I did go as heavy as I could and still maintain a good "backwards shrugging" motion with a nice contraction. U'hand pulldown are somewhat better than parallel grip pulldowns; not sure if I want to try overhand grip yet.
    Hopefully a start on a good trend anyway.

    **Marcus's HIT Dungeon**

    Morning all!!! Headed to get back in soon!

    Hit hamstrings yesterday and some glutes. Really making sure and getting those squeezes in the ole' cheeks.

    So far I am up 7lbs on this cycle. Not too worried about it. Comes off pretty quick after.

    Meal prepping today. Lots of chicken. I need to just keep mass made for eating.

    Sides to date are the normal ones so far.

    After some good advice from Nach I am going down in dosing a little, before sides become too much. I do have a huge event in September that I have to fit into a sexy little number for a big fancy wedding. Will put in the cardio for a couple weeks before that to shed some BF.

    Ok, that shift is over and back at home. Think I may go crash outside in the sun for a little while and let the MT2 do its stuff.

    Crunches -1 x ~ 130
    Some back stretching and a little shoulder warmup

    Close grip u'hand pulldowns- 3 w/u. Work1- 10 reps, kept the same weight, Work2- 5 reps
    Dring parallel grip pulldown- 1 w/u, Work1- 11 resp, dropped a tad of weight, Work2- 9 reps w/ a very slow 20 count negative on last rep.
    Tbar rows- 2 w/u, Work 1 - 10 reps, dropped a bit of weight and rested for a minute, Work2- 14 reps.
    Low pulley rows- 2 w/u, Work 1- 10 reps, dropped a little weight and rested for a minute, Work 2- 16 reps.
    Deads- 1 straight set of 21 reps.

    Grip was crapping out on the sh!tty arm by the time I got to deads so I did what I could. The decreased working weights are bit demotivating, but I guess better than nothing.

    49 minutes total.

    There are 3 loves in my life: my wife, my English mastiffs, and my weightlifting....Man, my wife gets really pissed when I get the 3 confused...
