well this week has gone pretty well, adjusted my regime to cut down the training times a little. Short trains are more conducive to muscle gains than fat loss but im still pushing an hour and 20 every session.
Back and Bi's was an interesting day, had a shot at 21's (7 top range half-reps, 7 bottom range half reps, 7 full reps, no rest) and completely destroyed my biceps! (but in a good hypertrophic type way

) did 4 sets between 30-50% of my 1RM and left myself failing on 20lb preacher curls later on (my 1RM is around 60). Having said which changing up intensity has given me a lot of bicep growth lately, it certainly seems that my arms respond to more sets PW rather than more weight.
Ive also come to the conclusion that bent rows are hard to keep clean form on when heavy, im pretty sure im working my back well but im gonna maybe go higher in reps on a more moderate weight and develop a cleaner form. In every exercise where i've dropped weight to clean up form ive seen gains and a better control over the bodypart without fail.
Shoulders got moved to saturday because work was crazy on friday. I work shoulders hard because so many people neglect them and i think they are a major part of both arm and overall development.
Train consisted of
Seated shoulder press 4 sets 12-10 42,45,50,55
Shrugs (dropped weight with these to get form sorted) 4x12x70lbs
Side laterals 20,22,25,27 x12
Upright rows 60, 70, 80, 90, 12-10-10-8
Lying rear delt raise 10, 12, 15, 17 (yes lbs! hardest lifts ever!)
Was a great train, shoulders are sore today! Glad i get some posterior delt work in because people always ignore the posterior delt and just hope itll grow from is compound movements. the lying rear delt raise is very tough and requires a lot of mental focus to engage the right muscles. Plus after a tough train its nice to get a lie down!
On the Tri-Lean Front all is as it should be, thermo effect is still felt although mostly only when exerting myself (was somewhat annoying as i was running some network cable above a shop which entailed much stepladder climbing, this led to me inadvertently dripping sweat on passers by.....great!). I still dont get any night sweats from it, no idea of the effectivness of the lean dreams tbh. Start leviathan week next wednesday, should be an interesting addition to the mix, have always wondered if the mass promoting Lev could be mixed with the powerful thermo of HD3. Prolly just end up shaking and feeling sick but we will see.
