With my 150kg-160kg bench coming up on friday, i let my chest workout slide yesterday and did gun club.

5x10 bb curls
5x10 db curls
5x10 tricep pushdowns
5x12 tricep dips

Arms felt pumped, but not veiny...
 
I was always wearing of doing heavy tricep workout before bench day. Hence why I do arms on Thursday and Bench on Monday. Good luck with that 150/160!

ha, i was thinking that when looking at my lovely horseshoes after the session, but it wasn't a HEAVY workout, I'm leaving plenty in the tank for Friday. 48hrs in between should be sweet.

Initially I was going to have a day off, but I couldn't live with myself if I'd done nothing...
 
Pumped for tomorrow's 150kg lift. Ill try for 160 if things go well.
Had a little torture session today. Should've timed it. I reckon about 12 mins


21 burpees
21 squats with med ball
21 one handed sledgehammers
15 burpees
15 squats w med ball
15 one hand sledgehammers
9 burpees
9 squats w med ball
9 one hand sledgies

No rest at all
That gave me a headache which has only just subsided. Right in time to make dinner for evvy one.
 
Just proves you don't need a heap of time each day to get a good session and do something that will smash you....
