Do you find the pec deck effective? I used it a couple times, but it only flared up my shoulders. I just threw that exercise out and did cable flys.

Idk man.  I could feel it, but wouldnt necessarily say it was effective.  I felt it quite alot in the shoulders too :S, I thought that was just cos I have very round shoulders though :s.  I tryed it cos I was sick of DB dlys, and I don't really like cable flys :s

oh my god the shape of ur shoulders has nothing to do with it u fag lol u either felt it in ur shoulders cos it stretches the front delt or u have shit mobility

I have reasonably flexable shoulders.

Here is what I have concluded:

Pec deck sucks. I'm sticking with chest cable flys.

10 days without exercise and eating pretty badly and I feel like more of a runt than usual. 

Back and triceps:

First time deadlifting in a month, being cautious with what I'm lifting.

Warm up set

12*70kg

10*80kg

8*90kg

6*100.  Forgot how enjoyable deadlifting was.  Weight was easy.  Back didn't feel 100 percent though.

wide grip pullup

BW*13

BW+5kg*9

BW+5kg*7  12,10,8 on 5kg next time

One arm db Row:

34kg*10

36kg*10

36kg*10 36 on all next time

Seated Row:

90*9

90*9

90*9 10 reps next time

skull crushers:

35kg*8

35kg*8

35kg*8 I'll go for 10 reps next time

upright rope pull:

12.5*12

15*10

17.5*8

20*6

dip:

BW+10kg*12

BW+20kg*10

Then some rude bitch starts doing 21743 pullups whilst assisted by 9284892741kg.  I go home.

My progress so far.  Pictures are 5/6 days without exercising, so I don't look as big as I may do sometimes.  But you get the ideaaa:

Criticisms of myself:

Small traps

Bitch hips

Rat legs

Yesterday:

Squat:  The gym where I used to squat has closed the iron section of the gym (cunts), so now i have to squat in a different gym using the fucking bench press fittings, can't go as deep as I may like because of the bench.

2 warm up sets.

70kg*6

90kg*6

100kg*6

110kg*6 Was kinda easy, misread the routine, I'm only supposed to do 4-5 reps.  Next week I will go up to 120 with 5 reps.

80kg*10

80kg*10

Standing Military Press:

2 warm up sets

30kg*5

35kg*5

40kg*5

45kg*5  Was hard, won't go past 45kg next week, but will start at 35kg and do 2 sets at 45kg*

Bulgarian 1 legged squats:

20kg*8

20kg*8

20kg*8 First time doing this exercise, it burns big time.

Incline bench:

Chest felt tight so left it.

50 rep chin/pull ups:

16 chinups. 60 second rest

9 pullups. 60 second rest

11 chinups. 90 seconds rest

7 pullups. 90 second rest

7 chinups.  50.

Chest was hindering me.  Thought I would be better at this exercise, found it very gruelling.

Liked the routine.

Barbell bench:

2 warm up sets

60kg*9

60kg*7 lol

Dips:

15 lol

Chinup:

10 lol

Dips:

'spotted correctly' :/ why arent u doing reps on ur own lol

So that I don't get stuck beneath the bar if I fail on last rep.  But he started spotting me on my third rep when I didn't need any help.

24kg*8 Badddd, shoulders felt tight, think I'd been using them alot at work.

22kg*8

Deadlift:

2 warm up sets

90kg*5

100kg*5

110kg*5

DB row + Kroc row:

34kg*6 8 next week on each set

34kg*6

34kg*6

kroks:34kg*15 (always aim for 18 on krok set, my grip slipped on the 16th rep though)

DB Shrugs:

30kg*10

30kg*10

30kg*7 Grip strength was knackered by this point, left hand went first gain.
