Rest day

I think most underestimate the importance of rest and recovery, this is the time where we grow and set ourselves up for another couple of day's worth of hard training before needing another day to repeat the process.
It's a great day to go get a massage or have a relaxing bath in salts to let the body fully relax so it's primed to work for you again in the coming days.

if you're someone who trains 6 to 7 times a week then you probably aren't training hard enough 4 to 5 days is what most people should be doing.
I've seen pros train twice a day, but you'd have to have everything nailed to perfection and even still trying to recover from that if you're training hard near seems impossible to me.

for majority of us 4 to 5 days is a good spot to be in and that's where you'll no doubt see the best results so take your rest seriously and watch the difference it makes to your training and how you feel in general.

Done a couple shoulder and arms day workouts I'll post a leg or back day next week, I just couldn't help myself everything is moving ridiculously well on this day and weights are starting to get stupid.
behind the neck pressing 90kg on a free weight barbell even that to me is sounding a bit stupid and I don't normally get shocked by much.

must be those oils from @Raptor Labs @Raptor Rep top tier stuff and I can't believe the strength I'm getting atm it's making training so exciting, I've heard people talk about feeling strong on cycle which I personally have never felt much difference from being on or off but this time aroung its opened my eyes to what that feels like and no wonder people get addicted to it hahaha.

weight is hovering around 102kg and condition is getting better so will be interesting to see how much longer coach wants to push it.

Shoulders/arms

Side lateral raise (cables)
4 x 12-15

shoulder press (behind the neck)
3 x 8-10

rear delt (pec dec)
4 x 12-15

dumbbell side lateral
4 x 10-12

triceps pushdown
4 x 10-12
