Fun Day
I decided to work out today after reading some more motivational material.
Just decided to do something short and sweet:
Natural Glute-Ham Raise: 8x3 (90 seconds rest)
I used 2 kettlebells to hold my hook my feet into and sandbag as knee support. Worked like a charm.
16kg KB curl: 8x1 (1 minute rest between sets)
Thumbless Reverse Wrist Curl: 5x10
Wrist Curl w/ 20kg x 5
Wrist Curl w/ 30kg: 3x5
Forearm Flexors notably stronger than my extensors, will need to work on that. One is only as strong as his/her weakest link.
GTG with Partial Handstand Pushups throughout the day.

Pistols Day 15
Today, I had to train after work again. For some odd reason 40 minutes of cycling can really take it out of you when you have to hit the weights afterward... well, not to worry I always turn to some great motivating articles to get me to want to grip & rip the iron immediately. Here's one that I like particularly:

Deadlift from shin level:
126kgx1
148kgx1 Fail
138kgx1 Fail
Reasons for failing this attempts could be attributed to
1) Not waiting 2 hours after waking to exercise, thus not letting the body be fully 'awake'.
2) Not warming up properly
3) And most likely option is the fact that I attached 2 kettlebell to the barbell and they created an extra distance between my legs and the barbell, thus making the barbell 'heavier' than it already was due to this increased distance...
