@Paekakboyz yeah was a mission played 18 holes Thursday morning too was struggling to tee my ball up or out of the hole.
Did our second chest session for the week after that. Was a light session. Found out this week and last were just warm ups for the 16 week block we are heading into. As it ends with a comp at our club for those that want to enter.
Im not entering a comp until I am at 100kg BW with 150kg bench, 200kg+squat and 250kg Deadlift. Who knows when that will be.Yesterdays session:
DB bench: 5x5 @40kg
Seal Pulls: 4x8 @30kg should go up next time
Upright rows: 1x7 @50kg then had no energy 3x7 @40kg
Max close grip Pressups.: I was fucked by this stage just did 3x10 nice and controlled and supersetting upright rows and the next couple exercises.
Flappy angles: 3x10 @2kg
Curls: 3x10 @17.5kg usually do 20kg+.Think im gonna leave deads until tomorrow as still pretty sore this morning.

@Magpie_in_aus I am not surprised the golfing was hard!
Good call to hold off on deads - got to listen to the body when you are that fried, plus there is a bunch of accessory stuff you could still do to keep things ticking over. I'm a big fan of following up with some lighter stuff on the same body parts later in the week, to get things moving and take the edge off any DOMs.
Have you considered just entering to get used to lifting in comp conditions? Have read quite a bit about people either thriving in it (still unexpectedly) while others took a few comps to do their best in that kind of environment. I totally get wanting to have some solid numbers but maybe just getting stuck in is an option?

@Duluth
Its what the coach at the gym calls them but basically lying on your front on the ground doing full snow angels.Lying on stomach. Hold weight in each hand out at full reach lift arm off the ground and take up towards your head. Up and down is one rep do 20. It sucks
