So many updates I will do them in stages 
Firstly, my lower back went today. I was sitting awkwardly which I wouldn't usually do but have felt there is no danger. Thinking back I later realized I had hack squatted the other day. I have a list of exercises I know cause me issues but I had totally forgotten I had done them. I was going low as well and it must have done something. When I don't rack pull, deadlist, squat etc my lower back is never great but it never goes ever. I stopped doing them all last time my back went but done 2 sets in a superset the other day so I am guessing it was that. It went and I couldn't move but lay down for 1 hour and it started feeling better. So nothing major this time. Regardless there was no way I was missing the gym today. I could have broken my foot and I still would have been in the gym tonight
Big session and I feel great now. I wore a back support and it felt good. It helps keep my waist in as well so a bonus. I changed it up and used 5ml synthetine preworkout. Reason being synthelamin is the only synthetek product I don't ever use. I feel great on it but both times I have used it I have broken out (acne) on it which is rare so I know it's that. I researched it and it's not uncommon when using vitamin b12. Syntheselen also contains vit b12 and since I started using it I broke out a little. It could be the aas but as I am going away in 2 weeks I would rather just drop it incase it is the vit b12. I have been fine in the past on it but again would rather just drop it. I will carry it on after my holiday. So it's 5ml synthetine from now on which I love and it's my fav dose. In my experience the more the better with synthetine but common sense needs to be used so I come to the conclusion for big/fast results and the fact I can do it in 1 shot 5ml is a great dose for me.
Tonight I trained chest, tri-ceps, calves and quads.
Flat Smith Press... 1 working drop set with 2 drops. 4pps, 3pps and 1.5pps with dead stops. I only got 3 or 4 reps with 4pps which is less than normal but I put everything into them. I wish I could have got a video as this was a brutal set.
Machine Fly... 2 working sets.
Machine Press... 1 working set.
Standing Cable Hammer Press... 1 working set.
Close Grip Bench Press supersetted with Tri-cep Cable Extensions... 2 working sets.
Unilateral DB Tri-cep Front Extensions... 1 working set (with assisted reps) for each arm.
Unilateral DB Tri-cep Side Extensions... 1 working set (with assisted reps) for each arm.
V Grip Tri-cep Extension... 1 working set with 50kg and then double the reps with 25kg.
Leg Press Calf Presses supersetted with Seated Calf Raises... 4 working sets with pauses at the top and bottom.
Leg Extensions... 5 sets of 50 reps going up in weight.
Stretches.
I surprised myself with the leg extensions. The machine had 2 plates on so I done a few sets of 10-15 reps with pauses to warm up. Then I done 50 reps. I moved up to 3 plates and done another 50 reps. It's written down to do 3 working sets so I figured 4 plates for 50 reps and that's it. However I figured let's just go on till I can't get 50 reps. I moved up to 6 plates and that killed me to get 50 reps. I was on the floor shaking after that. But it felt good and my quads were on fire after 5 sets over a short time.
Post workout I had chicken cooked in my own spice mix and some vegetables in a little light soy sauce...
