Always listen to your instincts….
Again the title says it all. After some great gains using a certain split, i wrote in my last blog that I made changes in muscle pairing.At the end of my first workout of new split (Thursday) I was pleasantly surprised. As i wrote I broke my maxes for a few lifts. Shoulders ,it seems wern’t getting their due crammed in between Chest and Tri’s. So on they went to back day, and arms are now with chest. Which brings us to today.
A few blogs back I wrote how I was eyeing those 100lbs db’s , but no one was around for a spot. Erring on the side of caution, I decided to wait for some assistance. Well today , same thing, no spot. But today was different. I warmed up ,picked those suckers up ,and the first set hoisted the bad boys for 5 reps. The second set was four.
Time and time again in the course of lifting, I am my own worst enemy. I psyched myself out ,and therefore my doubt held me back for too long.We’re capable of more than we think. A valuable lesson to be carried over in to everyday life I guess.
Well this new high carried over in to the rest of my workout. Here we go….

It didn’t matter if Ronnie Coleman was working out next to me, hucking huge lbs, I was super excited at the end of the session. Knowing I was improving, and that’s why we all do it I guess……
