Today was another good arms day. Since I started back on the 5x5's, was really super excited. Two pills in the morning, two pills pre-workout, like usual. Same feeling that i've been getting. Felt a good amount of energy again and ready to get the lifting underway.
I don't know if it has just been super hot in the gym lately or what, but I was sweating balls again today. Maybe its the Combustion...
Started off with tri's today since I like alternating between the two. So, all lifts in here are 5x5s unless otherwise stated.
Weighted Dips: 45, 50, 55, 60, 65. Was freaking awesome, felt so good. Every rep felt freaking awesome.
Tricep pushdowns, using a cable: 140, 150, 160, 170, 180.
*Note: My elbow is a little sore, lol. I was doing something wrong! Stupid heavy weight.
Standing BB curls: 65, 75, 85, 95, 105x3
DB curls: 40, 45, 50, 50x4, 45.. 50s were a little rough and I knew I would continue to struggle with them, so, I didn't bother too much, and wanted to get all my reps in.
I wanted to do some strip sets in order to get some really good burn in my biceps since I feel like they've been neglected.
DB curls: 40, 35, 30
Standing BB curls: 85, 65, 45
DB overhead tricep press: 60, 65, 70, 70, 75
Forearm rope with 15lbs. Just down and up one time each direction nonstop, so a total of 4 up and down sets.
After this I just wanted to throw in some really light weight concentrated curls, so I stuck with 20s and really just wanted to feel a nice burn everywhere. Well, this definitely did the job! My arms were freaking huge. I went to put my shirt on (I wore a polo to work today) and the sleeves on them felt like they were going to cut off my circulation! Oh and today, my forearms looked so vascular, it was creepy. haha.
Tomorrow is my last day of Combustion.
I'm looking to get my weight and body fat again by the end of the week so I can compare it to how it was when I started.
