Cut out the shrugs and I would probably put a rest day between Legs and Back. I dont know your schedule, but that would be better in that you can work out on saturday instead of friday and have a 2-day rest after that(sunday and monday)...unless it conflicts with your schedule.

i dont see any reason to lose the shrugs since your bodybuilding but i am curious to how you seem to lift similar weight on flat bench and shoulder press. I find that i can lift more on the flat bench

Todays routine complete, iv moved up to 30kg on incline flyes for 1 set. I completed 8 reps easily on the flat bench with 40kg so next week i will increase the weight to 45kg (nearly 2 20kg plates!)

i also added 5kg to the incline press for 2 sets.

So thats some small strength gains in 1 week on the chest and im cutting...

Re: Tom's Log - 12/11/07 06:21 PM

Is the dumbbell press and incline flyes combined dumbbell weight, because if not, you do a LOT more weight on these than you do on the bench press, in retrospect to the exercises.

Re: Tom's Log - 12/12/07 07:13 AM

yes its combined :P

Slacked off this week due to family problems so i havnt been down to the gym. Will go tomorrow and do a full body routine for this week then strictly back to the routine next week.

Feel a bit annoyed at myself for letting things get out of hand but it couldnt be helped.
