JK

Back and biceps this morning.
 
Warmup was a short ride, too short. Didnt roll either and hammies were tight as during deads. Had to stretch heaps. Not a good start.

Neutral grip chins - 12 unweighted then +10kg for 8, 8 reps, 10 more unweighted (did these using the seated row handle over a high bar)
BB curls - 30x20kg, 30x20, 30x20 - did these like 21s but instead of 7 reps per movement I did 10. Real tough on the forearms despite the light weight

JK

Had a nice surprise at work today when my mate John from xplosiv supplements sent me a pretty sweet courier package with 4lbs whey, some aminos and diablo thermogenic. Farken made my day.

Enjoy Coolangatta mate. Water might be a wee bit cold, but hopefully sun is shining. Also make sure you stay on the QLD side.

JK

Yeah water was pretty cold alright. Got a wave this arvo in just boardies and a rashy. Everyone else had wetties on!

JK

Great week away on the Gold Coast. No real exercise at all. Eating was pretty poor too. Stepped on the scales today and have dropped about 3kg....ughhh! 
Popped in to the gym today for a full body type workout to get back in to the swing of it ahead of next week. 
Did DB bench, wide grip chins, squats, seated row, BB overhead press, upright rows and then some BB curls superset with dips. Nothing heavy but worked in 8 to 12 rep range and got a decent sweat going

Rancid Schnitzel

Good to hear you enjoyed Coolangatta. Have to get back there soon. Love that place. 
The first workout following a little break is often a cracker.
