Well I got through the weekend relatively unscathed. I had a couple of pints on Thursday night. I mean a couple. I did a half-hour blast on the exercise bike as well to assuage the guilt.
17/05 routine
DB squat - 17 kg /15 reps (bloody things are gonna be too heavy to pick up soon)
Chest Press - 65 kg / 10 reps
Lat pulldown - 60 kg / 9 reps (at last an improvement - pulled down to chest rather than back of neck)
Shoulder Press - 25 kg / 14 reps
DB curl - 10kg / 10 reps
I felt it was a really good session. I was shaking and aching afterwards. The rest over the weekend seemed to help. Still not sure what weight loss is, but I know that my clothes are much looser. And in 5 days I'll be home - I can't wait!
Nice to see you are enjoying workouts and seeing siugns of progesss. With the lat pulldowns, I don't know if anyone has told you (hence the reason you changed), but the behind the neck version externally rotates the shoulder and puts the rotar cuff in a position where it can easily be injured, so theyt arent wise really. Underhand pulldowns to the chest are much safer and put the biceps in their strongest position to better work your back.
Not Wise = Behind the neck Pulldown
Wise = Underhand Lat Pulldown
