Back to Bodybuilding

  Today's workout was biceps, which still remains a relatively novel thing for me, having gone the last ten or so years with probs a dozen arms workouts only to count. But becoming a regular occurance now, since I went back to training like a Bodybuilding roughly 6 months back. I still need to try and train arms a wee bit more regularly, but I'm averaging a workout once about every 2 weeks, so infinitely more than before when I was still powerlifting. Today my triceps are very much aching, from my shoulders workout 2 days ago, so just biceps today. Normally I like to open up with a heavier free weight based routine, such as EZ or olympic curls.

I have been doing sets of around 12reps for the last 6months, but as mentioned above, im now in my strength/heavy phase of training. So although i am still training for size and development, i am currently doing lower but heavier reps to prep for my pb attemlts in a couple of month. After that ill be back to higher volume work again. For today i started with First warming up on 150kg, then 180kg and finished my 1 rep sets with 200kg. My intention was to do 3 power reps on 200kg but it didn't feel comfortable, so I kept it as a single and moved on to the next part, of 3 HIT reps on 170kg. I was pleased with this set as I wasn't sure if I could do 3 reps under such control, but I felt like I had at least one more left in the tank. Obvs normally I train to ...
