A Solid Bit of Shoulders

++Quick note before I begin; I knocked the exposure settings on my camera part way through the workout, I've tried my best at making them watchable, but the video for the most part is deffo on the ugly side lol you've been warned!++

Focusing on front delts for the majority of today's workout, I opened up with seated rear delts. Aiming for 2-3reps each set, on an ascending bar until failure. It took a long time to warm up today, being freezing cold in the gym (the bar was giving my hands freezer burn lol), but I managed to get up to 120kg for a single (following a decent amount of work on the way up). Before then dropping the weight down to 90kg

It was on 90kg where I did the majority of the work, the final rep on the final set was immense! A proper fight, and I was beginning to black out going for the lockout. So I deffo called that weight perfect, getting 2 sets of 4 heavy duty style reps (I was aiming for 3-4 reps on these sets)

I then did dumbell presses. I was very tired at this point and was worried about overtraining the front delts. So I Limited myself to one set. I did this set on 30kg dumbells. I did my reps heavy duty style, trying to focus on the Street h atthe bottom of the lift - which was the primary reason I was doing dumbell press for. The range of motion is far superior to Olympic bar press. 

Then a pyramidal giant set on side delts followed by a rear pyramid giant set.

Hoping that I can break the 120kg boundary, convincingly and ASAP, so I stand a chance at breaking my old pb of 145kg But I still have at least 4 if not 6 weeks before I need to go for absolute max. I think it will be a tall order, and tbh this year I'll be happy with 130kg (still a reasonable amount to put on top of today's 120).

Onwards and upwards. Thanks for reading my weights journal. Big Al 💪🍺🦖
