Not my best sequence but I held a little back and my legs were still feeling it from Tuesday. I did expect mid 27s so a little disappointed that I was mainly around 28.0.

Quick update: Pulled my bicep on Saturday playing rugby, it’s still tender if I poke it towards the middle but it’s healed up a lot in the last few days.

Oct 29 – ONE DAY ARM CURE
Food is pretty much what was in the article, had turkey breast instead of chicken and steak, missed out Power Drive and had a few BCAA’s and creatine dotted around rather than a mass amount at the end.
8am-11am Totals (501 tempo)
Zottman curls – 6 x 7 x 7.5kg
Pronated DB Extensions – 6 x 8 x 10kg
Incline Curls – 6 x 7 x 12.5kg
California Press – 7 x 40kg, 5 x 8 x 37.5kg
Had no appetite for lunch but forced it down. I found zottman curls the easiest but I wasn’t very ambitious on the weight. Incline curls and california press was the harder superset but compared to the rest of the session this was pretty good, maybe struggling on the last 3-4 reps of the final sets.
12.30pm-2pm Totals (302 tempo)
Zottman curls – 4 x 10 x 7.5kg
Pronated DB Extensions – 4 x 12 x 10kg
Incline Curls – 3 x 10 x 12.5kg, 9 x 12.5kg
California Press – 4 x 12 x 35kg
Missed a rep on curls but these were a lot harder and I think every set was a struggle.
2.30pm-4pm Totals (201 tempo)
Zottman curls – 4 x 15 x 7.5kg
Pronated DB Extensions – 2 x 20 x 10kg*, 2 x 20 x 7.5kg*
Incline Curls – 12 x 12.5kg*, 12 x 10kg*, 2 x 15 x 7.5kg
California Press – 14 x 35kg & 6 x 30kg*, 15 x 30kg*, 2 x 20 x 25kg
*sets I had at least one rest (3-5 secs) midway through
These were brutal. The 20 rep was too hard with the same weight and I went to failure on most exercises first time round, then dropped the weight down for the second round. Triceps were hit the hardest as I could push it further whereas the concentric phase of curls was harder to do.
Mega Set 4.30pm
Zott 15 x 7.5kg, DB Ext 20 x 7.5kg, Curls 15 x 7.5kg, Cali Press 14 x 25kg & 6 x 20kg
