Deloading (sort of) done and arm blasting.

I finished deload week on Friday and went full speed ahead on Saturday.

Used deloading to try and improve my form on Overhead press, Deadlift and Bench press. Squat form is OK, so no need for any major improvements there.

Did I mention I HATE deload?! I know it is a must (and I needed it) but I still hate it. Just cannot change the mindset to do less volume/weight.

I also increased the loads on 5/3/1 quite a bit. It's quite funny doing 9+ reps on 1+ minicycle you know. People look at you in a funny way. Just kidding there. But it is kinda funny. I increased all my upper body work loads by 7,5 kg and lower body loads by 12,5 kg.

On OHP I managed 8 reps for 60kg on 5+ day so  think it is OK. Although I did 12x63kg on 1+ I'm satisfied since I really improved on form. Lowered the bar to chest as opposed to only lowering it to chin as in 1+. I felt my shoulders a lot more with proper form.  I think I have still got room for improvements. Must find a way to stabilize my body better.


Deadlift 5+ was scheduled yesterday. Well I only managed 9x138 kg this time. I was really concentrating on form and was very tired before coming to gym. Stress and stuff. My father is in the hospital again, so is my father in law and my best friends mom.



So.. Deadlift. As far as I can see I still have to be faster with my hips. Have to push them forward sooner. I still lift my toes up as I lift, which is not a good sign I think. Feet should be firmly on ground. Music sucked big time..

And now to arm blasting part.
I have this idea that my arms are lagging behind other parts of my body. I decided to hit them every time I go to the gym for two weeks (7 workouts), just to see what happens. Well it is happening. My arms have visually grown. I still can't believe it when I look in the mirror or put a t-shirt on. I am really surprised about the results. I have no plan I just hit 3-4 random exercises for 12-15 reps for biceps and triceps. I will go by the plan from now on to see if it is only the pump that gives me the feeling of the change I am seeing.
