Since Friday I have been landscaping, lugging around tiles and rolls of instant turf, laying it down, digging up grass, clearing sections hauling large bags of crap around.

In all a decent workout over those 3 days, but my food intake was off. Too busy trying to get things done to really eat right but hey.

Also Saturday night was my work Christmas party - Bollinger on arrival at $120 a bottle - Had to have a few of those, plus some red wine and some beers

Hard physical labor on a hang over...... not recommended.

Back at it for my 3 day split this week, starting with Chest and Tris.

Get some rest. And remember, physical labor + hangover = your life if you don't go to college

haha yep thankfully I have two degrees and recently started a 3rd!

Had a huge sleep yesterday, crashed on the couch about 5:30pm woke up at 9:30pm had a quick feed then back to bed at 11pm. Slept right through till 8am this morning.

Was feeling good so put the yards in today - will post it later.

This week is my alternate week, switch from Full body to 3 day split.

Today’s workout felt good, however I do feel like I could have done more. Meaning its time to bump the weight up a little say 5 maybe 10lbs on most lifts.

Anyway here’s the scoop:
The format below is

Sets x Reps x Weight i.e. 2sets x 5reps x Weight used.
Also weights have been converted from Kg's to pounds, so if they look a little funny that is why.

CHEST
Incline Bench Press
2 x 5 x 175lbs
1 x 5 x 190lbs

Flat Bench Press
3 x x 12 x 175lbs

Decline Bench Press
1 x 8 x 175lbs
1 x 8 x 155lbs
1 x 8 x 165lbs

Dumb Bell Flies
3 sets x 40 x 22lbs

TRI’S
Tri Pull Downs
1 x 5 x 90lbs
2 x 5 x 78lbs

Skull Crushers** I sux at these going low to work on the ROM
2 x 12 x 65lbs
1 x 12 x 45lbs

Kick backs
3 x 40 x 22lbs

Nice weights on the incline man! Good to see you lift heavy on the basic compounds again. Looking forward to some more killer workouts this week.

That's the first thing I noticed. Very strong inclines.

Wow really? Thought that it wasn't that much! Also felt that I could have gone a bit higher.
In saying that the guy I'm training with is bigger and lifts more, so that might be why I don't think it's that strong.

Cheers for the reality check.

Today is cardio day, probably throw in a couple sets of cleans first then get down to the HIIT.

I am benching 295 for reps and barely hitting 200's on incline for reps.

hmmm Do you guys include the bar weight? The bar is 45lbs which I include in the total weight.

I'm only slightly flat benching more for reps than I can do on incline.
