    Week 3 for DB press.<br />
    <br />
    Started with a 1000m row and then some warmup sets of DB press - 10 x 20kg and 8 x 25kg.<br />
    DB press 5/3/1 - 5 x 30kg, 3 x 32.5kg, 2 x 37.5 (probably only really 1.75 reps here. Needed to do at least 1 which I failed at last time but got it today and 2nd one was close'ish)<br />
    Accessory work<br />
    Incline DB press - 10 x 25kg, 10 x 27.5, 10x27.5, 10x27.5<br />
    Machine flies - 10 x 48kg, 10x54, 10x54<br />
    CG Pull downs - 10x48kg, 10x54, 10x57kg, 10x60kg<br />
    Dips - 10 reps no weight, then added 22kg for 10 reps, 8 rep, 8 reps and then 15 unweighted.<br />
    OH Cable Extensions - 15 x 28kg, 12 x 32, 12x32, 12x32.<br />
    <br />
    Two days of 5/3/1 to go and then its gonna be a change in timing for me as well as programme. Mornings not working well at home as I cant get out without waking the dam baby so need to try leave home abit later each day and fit the workout in during worktime I think.

    Yeah always a risk when you are training in the more common hours. Its a shame too as I will miss those I train with in the mornings - they are a good bunch. Wont be forever though.

    So I tried some 4.30pm lifting today. Had been a crazy day so didnt get any lunch until about 2pm and by 4pm I'd had enough so shot to my local gym on the way home. No time to train tomorrow either so did Deads and OHP 5/3/1 last week of last cycle all in one today. Suprisingly it wasnt too busy and was pretty cool working out in my usual gym with no one I actually recognised. Oh yeah, I rocked a sample of Nano Vapor pre-workout (see [url="http://xplosivsupplements.co.nz/muscletech-nano-vapor-preformance-series.html"]http://xplosivsupple...nce-series.html[/url] ) and reckon it was pretty good stuff. Anyway the lifting...<br />
    <br />
    Warmup - 500m row and the 2 sets of hamstring curls - 15x 36kg whilst waiting for deadlift platform to free up.<br />
    Deadlifts - 8 x 70kg, 5 x 110, 5/3/1 reps of 5 x 140kg, 3 x 155kg, 1 x 170kg which were all very easy then pulled 180kg with ease so pushed on for 190kg and then 200kg both of which are PBs. 200kg felt pretty much like the 180kgs did a few weeks back - bit of a slow pull but in control thru to lockout<br />
    Front squats - 10 x bar, 8 x 50kg, 8 x 50, 8 x 50<br />
    Hyper extensions - 3 sets of 12<br />
    OHP - 5 x 42.5kg, 3 x 47.5kg, 1 x 52.5. All felt ok but shoulder was a bit sore. Seems fine now<br />
    Pullups - bit of a struggle 8reps, 7, 8, 6<br />
    Skull crushers superset with EZ bar bicep curls using same weight - 12 (of each) x 27kg, 12 x 27, 10x32, 10x32 with drop set on the bicep curls to finish for another 10x27kg.<br />
    <br />
    So 5/3/1 all done now and time to move on to the next. Looks like I may be limited to 3 days a week though rather than my preferred 4 so not sure exactly what yet...

    awesome on the 200 - and yep, 'the slow pull', seems it's never going get off the floor, and then it seems gravity is going to beat you, but just keep slogging it up, super stuff.

    Yeah bang on 80kg yesterday when I weighed myself to kill time between sets. So 2.5 x bodyweight.<br />
    <br />
    Forgot to add a run from weds - did my 5km circuit again in the dark and in the rain. Bit slower at 24.45.<br />
    <br />
    Did another run tonight down to taka and around past my gym and home while listening to the rugby. 5.79km in the end but hoped it would actually be longer. Oh well. Felt alright and did it in just under 28mins. Will do another Sunday.

    Light jog this evening - just 4km and took it very easy. Had to stop a couple of times to stretch etc as left calf was giving me a bit of jip.<br />
    <br />
    <br />
    This week I'll also be commencing a 3 day split - Legs / Push / Pull. Gonna be a busy week so will just fit them in where I can.

    Feels weird not training every day but actually am feeling more refreshed so recovery is probably better.<br />
    <br />
    Anyway today was PUSH and popped in late morning before the lunchtime rush.<br />

    Dips - 2 sets of 8 with 20kg added, 1 set of 12 unweighted. Found these difficult as the city gym i went to has a wobbly as dip station. Far from ideal!<br />
    Seated OHP- 8x17.5kg (per side) x 4 sets<br />
    Seated DB OH extensions - 2 sets of 10 x 22.5kg<br />
    DB side lat raises - 2 sets of 12x7.5kg per side (not really push I know...)<br />
    Tricep push downs - 12x54kg and then a drop set of 10x60kg --> 10x48kg --> 10x36kg<br />
    Pec deck 15x45kg, 15x51kg.<br />
    <br />
    Felt like a good workout. Sweated like a man possessed and had it all done in about 45mins.
