Ok, much more positive mindset now. Training last night was awesome, felt strong and focused. With our little comp on the weekend we took it easy-ish...

We began with squats because my wife has not done free squats before and she will be competing on the weekend - we gradually built up to a 3 rep max - I nailed 160 with loose knee sleeves, which I was quite happy about.

Then we went on to a Shoulders/Arms set which went as follows:

Military presses - Try this one at home.

One set consisted of 10 full reps, 4 partial reps and then 4 x 5reps as a drop set with 10 second rest between drops.

This was then supersetted with Drop set BB curls, beginning at 80kgs for eight (big swinging) reps, and decreasing by 10kgs each time to just the bar. Form technique became much more focused once we got 60kgs and gradually more so until I was crying like a girl and only able to curl the bar, just.

Lateral Raises -

10 x 20kg
10 x 22.5kg

BB Curls as above.

Doesn't look like much, but the idea was not to fatigue the main muscles before the lifting on Saturday (with the exception of squats).

Bring on Saturday...
