Hello, I'm doing HVT based on darklight's journal too!

Just a suggestion, why don't you increase the number of reps where possible? Its not necessary to stick to 10 reps per set. So let's say you decide to do 15 lbs concentration curls, and at the end of 10 reps your biceps are still strong and able. If you still can, just go ahead and do more reps until failure.

Also you could save on workout time by doing supersets. Supersets are where you do one set of one exercise, and then without rest, move on to do another set of a different exercise.

For example you could do one set of triceps, then after that immediately one set of biceps. After one set of biceps your triceps will have recovered enough to go for another set of triceps. I find that supersetting keeps me motivated and prevents me from taking too long a break, as well as saves a lot of time.

Happy CNY btw!

Wow you still got energy for deadlift after so many sets? Normally if I want to do deadlifts I do it as first exercise cuz its the most injury-prone exercise among all the rest. I don't know bout u but if I do it only after doing the other exercises, my forearms will be too weak and unable to get a good enough grip on the bar.

I'm not good with giving advice but since you're on darklight's HVT, here's something darklight would probably say to you: Don't worry about not making PRs, if you feel that you're not up for it today, just reduce the weights and increase the reps instead. Its instinctual!

I used to do cardio a lot last time as well.... Dropped it in the end so as to avoid burning myself out. Still don't know if that was a good decision or not though... Anyway try not to do cardio continuously day after day, you need some rest in between too.
