Biceps & Shoulder Workout | Push & Pull | Last Session of 2024!

Smashed a push & pull session this evening. This ticked off a great & memorable year but especially last 3 months in which I hit a lifetime Bench Press PR of 160kg.

[@AntBall-h6m]

27.5kg seated dumbbell curls is insane! :) Im thinking bodybuilding for 2025- bit of something for everyone. I will be watching whatever you go for. All the best for 2025..

[@barrythomsonlifts]

Cheers Ant. I'm thinking along same lines. Will need to tidy up my diet!

[@blondviking6064]

Hi Barry! I'm a boring old man. I'm going to give you some advice and that's to listen to your body. You're getting older and you only have one body. It's important that it lasts your whole life. Listen to your body. Have fun and practice having a nice symmetry according to yourself in your world. Stay healthy and feel good. Keep your strength at the level you are at now. If you want to change your situation and push yourself harder in your training, there's nothing stopping you from doing it in six months or a year. Regardless, good luck and a happy new year! 💪😉💪

[@barrythomsonlifts]

Thank you my friend

[@clearthinker9507]

Hello Big Barry. Great video again. I would love to see you go all in and try and increase your squat max. I love the compound movements like bench, deadlift and squats as i have got older. If you put as much energy into increasing your squat as you did the bench 160 then it will make for some great videos. Keep them coming my man.

[@barrythomsonlifts]

Might have a go at getting bigger deadlift

[@clearthinker9507]

@@barrythomsonlifts That will be great to see for sure. Do a winter of strength building with both squats and deadlifts and in your summer switch to the body building. Look forward to watching what ever you do mate.

[@peterjohansson1503]

yeah, i say, squat 160kg before u summervacation

[@barrythomsonlifts]

@peterjohansson1503 Might go for deadlift instead

[@timmysawdust193]

You could just wrap those 27.5's with some tape or some sort of wrap as those wide grip things are maybe a bit to thick and tend to roll. Smashing it Barry, all the best.

[@barrythomsonlifts]

Thank you

[@FrankAboutFitness]

Dude you're jacked! 💪💪

[@barrythomsonlifts]

Getting there

[@staceyd72]

Another great workout Barry, killing those biceps. Looking forward to your next challenge ...dead lift maybe, but if your squat is weak I would try to improve it. Wishing you and your family a Happy New Year and a prosperous 2025

[@barrythomsonlifts]

Thanks Stacey. Deads with a sprinkle of bodybuilding :)

[@damongoodchild8250]

Nice work Barry , I'd like to see you do an all out back attack progression .... Get Dorian esc

[@barrythomsonlifts]

Absolutely

[@michalzwierzynski5678]

u got some hard solid determination mate 👊 wish I could train with u 😅 I think if you do your self a military „jarhead” haircut you will look like absolute killer in 2025 💪💪💪

[@michaelmccoy499]

👊💯

[@barrythomsonlifts]

Lets go

[@DarkKnight1981]

Impressive progress how do you keep yourself from getting injured ? How you deal with recovery?

[@barrythomsonlifts]

Take glucosamine for recovery. I train evenings so my recovery is sleep. Take D3 and K2 alongside Probiotics

[@ΧρυσοβαλαντηςΤασιοπουλος]

Excellent work but my opinion is to work out your uper back and trapezoid in order to increase rapidly your bench press

[@barrythomsonlifts]

Traps for sure

[@WesleySissons]

I would say do what you feel is best for you. I on the other hand would love to see you do a power lifting program west side or Calgary barbell program and see where you could go with a structured power lifting program.

[@barrythomsonlifts]

Would love to do Westside Barbell session. Will search for some.

[@peterjohansson1503]

hehehe, i liked, (i wanna built, not maintain) biceps, good one Barry, my idol!!!

[@barrythomsonlifts]

🤣🤣

[@2011persol]

if i should give u some advice on the too-small-grip on your dumbbells, perhaps u could use those fat-grip on your dip frame and attach to those dumbbells (if possible?) tht is.... and yeah, Lee Priest had blessed arms from above lol! ...and hamstrings, and quads ....and so it goes

[@barrythomsonlifts]

The fat grips roll on the small grip DBs but do help. Havent done that for awhile but you've luckily just reminded me. Thank you :)

happy new year baz,lets see what the new year brings

[@barrythomsonlifts]

Cheers dude 👍

[@korvstopparen]

Both squat and deadlift. If you get 220kg deadlift (and you would pretty fast) thats really good. After that focus squat

[@barrythomsonlifts]

I did 200kg deadlift earlier in the year. 200kg is my PB

[@korvstopparen]

@barrythomsonlifts nice

You'd look incredible if you focused on bodybuilding next year!

[@barrythomsonlifts]

Thank you. Direction i seem to be leaning towards

[@PeteHoward777]

I’d say squat Baz, 👍🏻

[@barrythomsonlifts]

[@gez1972]

I'd say go with bodybuilding. Blog your progress. Maybe even enter a natural bodybuilding show.

[@barrythomsonlifts]

Sounds good

[@stevenpayer6592]

You planning going into bodybuilding in 2025.?

[@barrythomsonlifts]

Not competing but certainly would like to trim up

[@ΧρυσοβαλαντηςΤασιοπουλος]

Also you should focus on inner triceps

[@barrythomsonlifts]

Agree

[@kainehorridge8340]

how many inches are your arms flexed with pump ?

[@barrythomsonlifts]

Around 17

[@FanPhys]

@@barrythomsonlifts your arms look a lot bigger than 17 man lol!

[@kainehorridge8340]

@@barrythomsonlifts since you've achieved your goal of road to 160kg bench how about a new goal for 2025 "road to 17 inch arms' (or 18 if they are already 17) ? be good to see more arm workouts ! love watching the channel and how you promote simplicity to working out you sure don't need an expensive gym membership to get those gains mate keep it up!

That would be mental

[@deet1558]

What’s your diet mate and do you bother with test?

[@barrythomsonlifts]

Never taken test and diet is very normal

[@spartan-ls3zz]

i think you should learn how to train and may be youl alter your shape

[@barrythomsonlifts]

OK 👌

[@spartan-ls3zz]

you honestly are makeing your self look stupid its not rocket science for the amount of years you say you have trained you are clueless step back and watch what you up load then go look at other peoples gains who have traind a couple of years
