Was thinking about having an upper body deload week, & as it happened fate intervened anyway.

During my first set of dips on Monday with only 10kg added weight I somehow managed to strain my neck. No idea how it happened but it hurt like hell & meant that, aside from a few push ups, I didn;t do anything apart from cardio.

Really sore yesterday but feeling better today.

Today:

5 mins HIIT

Pull-Ups:
3x8

Pistols:
3x8 each leg - 5kg plate as counter

Rev Rows OH:
3x8

Planks:
3x60 secs

Suspension Curls:
3x8

Pistols:
3x8 each leg - 5kg plate as counter

18" Jumps:
3x(12 onto bench + 12 over bench)

No workout Friday - work just too hectic to escape :( Got an extra workout in today, plus hopefully back to the usual routine from tomorrow:

5 mins HIIT

Weighted Dips:
3x20
3x40 - felt heavy WTF
3x1x60 - didn't want any failure today so didn't push for more
3x40
8x20

Pistols:
3x8 each leg - 5kg counter

Decline KB Push-Ups:
3x8

Pistols:
3x6 each leg - 4kg counter

Weighted Dips:
3x6x20

1-Leg 18" Jumps:
3x6 over bench on each leg

Medicine Ball Push-Ups:
3x6

Stretches


Neck seems to have recovered, strength not great today but to be expected after week off I guess. I really enjoy the jumps but my back doesn't seem too keen; hopefully if I keep them to once per week I'll be OK.

I've been rather slack on the physio front recently & this is making pistols hard as flexibility in right leg sucks; need to get better about this.

Curls are now banned as they involve free weights :wink: Having said that though I do sometimes do curl-like exercises using the gym's TRX suspension system which have been proven to produce a sweet pump 8)
