This week I am going to finish off my last week of PHAT that I was doing a couple of months ago. 5 days straight training with pull motions on 3 of the 5 days which will be a good test. I have next week off on leave (family holiday with no gymming) so I can recover then if things dont go so well this week but hopefully all is good.
 
So today - Upper body Power
Warmup - 10mins on cross trainer watching the football and cricket. Would have rowed but too far but the main TVs. Then stretching and pressups
BB Bench - 5x5 @ 75kg
Seated row - 5x5 @ 72kg
Hammer strength overhead press - 5x5 @ 40kg per side
Chins and dips - usually do these weighted but since I hadn't really done pullups for a while I did 5 chins superset with 10 dips (all unweighted) x 5
Cable curls - 3sets of 8 at 54kg superset with more dips (10reps per set)
 
 
(working sets only(

Isn't it just water and glycogen stored in muscle? I wouldn't worry.
What happened to the pull ups?

JK

Todays pullups felt ok mate. My left elbow/forearm is always a bit tender after upper body workouts but subsides pretty easy so as long as I'm not hammering it day in and out then I should be ok.

JK

Today was lower body power day. Felt pretty weak due to the cold and really struggled with squats.
 
Warmup - 10mins on bike and a decent rollout with foam roller. Did alot of those hurdles that I think Hardster posted up in his log while I was doing my warm-up squats
