Changing tactics now, though still doing the same 2 cycle workout, no more fancy stuff, i.e...no more forced reps, etc. My goal now is to train heavy till positive failure with good form, and stop. In other words train the muscle with sufficient weight to maintain it, but not to overtax the system with bodyfat where it is and calories. I feel right on schedule, and want to if anything slow things down just a bit. Probably going to cut back on cardio just a bit also, not nightly anymore, thinking maybe just 3 times a week.

Biceps

Straight olympic bar curls
(warmup)....45x12,45x10,65x8
Sets....75x12,90x10,100x7,105x5,105x6,105x4(did an extra set, felt like one more heavy would fit the bill)

Incline bench dumbbell curls
Sets....35x12,40x10,45x7,50x5

Seated incline dumbbell curls
Sets....40x8,50x4,60x3(my goal as stated was heavy here, but good form)


Triceps

Power rack extensions
(warmup)....45x12,45x10,65x6
Sets...85x11,95x6,100x4,100x4(stopped upon failure here, no forced reps on either of the last 2 sets)

Between bench dips
Sets....BWx10,90x12,100x10

One arm dumbbell extensions
Sets...20x12,25x10,30x9

Upper cable pressdowns
Sets....160x12,160x12,165x12

Reverse pressdowns
Sets....110x10,110x9


Forearms
Superset EZ curl bar reverse wrist curls with standard wrist curls...the reason here for superset is simply vascularity.
Sets....35x20,35x15,35x12/35x30,35x20,35x20

Not a bad workout, all in all staying pretty strong for restricted calories and bodyfat getting low.
