Is the new slimline Ken getting lifted off the bench

Despite the early shift I wasn't feeling quite so shattered today. TH still made a point of doing the jobs that should have been done yesterday his way not the way he's been asked to (and I asked him to before I left). Boss says she'll have a sit down with him but I'm not sure she'll approach the issues I'm (well, we both are) having with him, she just wants to find out what his issues are, which isn't quite the same thing but I guess it's start. I had a reasonable vent about how disrespectful it is and that it's a quiet 'fvck you' to us all the time and how everything has to be on his terms and his terms only. She did remark how he (and all the others) would be in for the shock of their lives if they ever had to get a job somewhere else so she gets it. I'm just not sure she will actually call out the behaviour and the way he pushes back directly with him. She does agree that he has issues with being given instructions, as if it's a personal slight against him that he has to be asked (but that's a catch 22 so long as he keeps pushing back all the time).

Anyway, he fvcked off down the field (after an hour of slacking) so just the boss and me all day and we get along fine. Day ticked along nicely and the gym was quiet this afternoon.... everyone probably out enjoying the sun.

A: Hammer Row: per side x20, 30, 35, 43.25s x7, 5
B: Rope Pullovers: x81, 92.5kg x7, 6
C: Larsen smith: x25, 65, 85, 102.5x7, 6, 5
D: Stand DB Curls: x15, 17.5x10, 9
E: Face Ext: x26, 37+3kg x10, 7

Swapped it all about today and started with Larsen as the row was in use. Annoyingly I'd have only needed to wait 5 mins but the switch kind of worked, certainly to begin with, as Larsen press felt good and easily up 3 reps (1 per set). Hammer rows up 1 but I do need to watch form. It just about passed today I think. Pullovers were +1 too, warm up set felt sore but work sets seemed solid. Ext next, up by 3kg and easily went +1 on reps too, 1st set just felt easy. Biceps were so-so tho, not sure the reps were as clean as they should be near the end of the sets. Tough to keep tight as the shoulder and lack of supination makes them doubly awkward on the grinder sets.

Well, he rang his brokers up and got the price halved. Still not as cheap but I could tell he was apprehensive about a full switch on such short notice so told him to go with it. In fairness, I'd rushed thru the comparison form so the quotes I got may well have gone up a bit done properly.

Shoulder still ached like heck over night, but it does every night

Glad the shoulder was behaving mate. Again slight changes make a world of difference.

It’s good you are looking out for him in that respect. Maybe you should offer to review all the stuff he has or at least go through it with him. Might make things less stressful down the track too when you know what bank, utilities etc he is using.

Well, hopefully.

mon 2th march
NG OH cable pulldowns: 50x10, x5, x5
rope grip facepulls: 40kg x5, x5, x5

awkward. keep coming off the bench at the start of the pull, expecially with the facepulls.
more volume less weight, I suppose.
