A Funny Thing Happened On The Way to the 4th Rep

It's now official. My brains have fallen out. 

I posted awhile ago about how I sent out an email to all existing customers about Biggy Bodybuilding Software being released - then later realised I'd forgotten to upload the file. Well today was workout day, even if I do have some lingering cold and sniffles etc.

Removed the weights off my dumbbells, bunged em on the barbell, did some squats. Great. Did some deadlifts. No problem. Removed some weight, heaved the thing onto my bench. Then did wide bench presses.

I'd carefully made sure the weight was exactly 2lb more than my previous workout, easy peasy gains eh?

Yet on the first set my left arm was wobbly as heck, damn near dropped the thing. Only 5 reps. Sheesh.

Rested, tried again - same result, except 4 reps. What's going on with my left arm?

Memo to self - when adjusting weights, check both sides are the same and remove the extra 5kg weight off one end.

How the heck did I miss that!? It's a big chromey thing, it's rather heavy and it was right on the end of the bloody bar. Mind you the rest of the workout was a bit feeble anyway. That cold's still lurking a little I think, was coughing a bit this morning.

ANYWAY, moving on. Am now starting my anabolic burst. Yeah yeah, was gonna wait but I'm the impatient type. Calories today, 800 above normal, will aim for 1000 over tomorrow, 2,000 after that. For 2 whole weeks.

Biggly? I'll be a blimp. Blimply.

Then the sweet joy of cutting....
