A triple drop set is one set but with 3 weights, for instance select a weight rep out till positive failure, reduce the weight by 15-20% and continue repping till positive failure, reduce the weight by another 15-20% of the original weight and rep till failure again, you can include some forced reps and negatives on this phase. A great way of upping the intensity.

H is out running and I've just got back from hams and calves - felt dog rough to start with but pushed through.

H and a couple of my mates from the gym talked me into going out around town last night, as H says I've been subdued recently, which I am but only because of the bulking cycle. I didn't want to as it would mean I'd miss a workout, at least one meal and no doubt get a goodly amount of Jack Daniels down my neck which aint going to help build muscle. I don't drink at all once I'm pre contest. Anyway they convinced me I was being a sado and then about half ten the ache starts building in my quads from Thursday's session- by the end of the night it was very intense they're sore to touch and painful to walk – today I’m going to try and get as much good stuff in me as I can so I don't leach protein to recover from muscles elsewhere - not easiest as I've spent half the night staring at the ceiling not able to sleep and I've a bloody hangover from last night.

I know its obsessive and don't go getting the idea I'm a recluse, I firmly believe if your going to be the best you can be you have to be focused no point being half arsed about anything. So I really would have sooner had a good workout and a couple of feeds, I'm not going to improve going out on the piss.

Bodyweight is still at 91K but I should think myself lucky I've not lost any after last night.
