G.F.H. - Vegan Style

still bollockxed from wednesdays session.

push press
6x50
5x60

fast.

narrow grip 2 board press
6x60
5x80
5x100
4x110
4x115
2x120
10x100

that went better than expected.

dumbell bench press
10x20
6x37.5
3x45
3x45
10x37.5

had to go to 45kg dbs because one of the 42.5kg ones was "broken" (read: the b olt was loose and it takes weeks for them to tighten it in this gym). Not ideal, but triples were an ok result nevertheless. I've done a double with 50s so still a wee while to old strength.

narrow grip pulldowns
2 x warm up
3 x 8 x 112

Joni, just got your text. I've still got no credit on my phone, but we're definitely on for tomorrow!!

Good to hear that you are planning to go heavy, I'm hoping for log and yoke PB's.

See you tomorrow

nice one mate, see you tomorrow. Planning to go as far as i can with the log, which might not be that much, but hoping to be able to work that 80kg log well. Also, comp weight and distance on farmers and yoke.

see you at noon!

these words kept the glimmer of light at the end of the pain tunnel when i wasnt training joni , just godda keep chuggin

massive doms !

indeed mate, indeed.

4 weeks till the comp!

did not recover from the wednesdays mental session in time, which meant that the whole session was spent in PAIN!

Log press
3x70
1x80
fx85
fx85 - will get it next week easy
2x80 - in 75 seconds, tried third, but no pressing strength
5x70 - in 75s

Goal in the comp has been upped to 5 reps.

Farmers walks
40m x 30
40m x 70
38m x 100 - the farmers got stuck to eachother in the 20m turn, lost loads of energy trying to get them loose

Yoke
20m x 130
20m x 210
20m x 230 - with 1 drop, 48 seconds

Goal for the comp: 225 for 20m in 20 seconds

Stone
105kg lapped, no chance to the platform

This is my major weakness now, more focus on it next week

incline log press (steep)
15x70
12x70

Good session considering the pain and aches, but could have been better. Improved in farmers and yoke, and logs was the first proper session, so thats not too bad. Stones will need more focus.

3 more strongman sessions before the comp!

Good stuff matey. Gotta hammer those stones now.

Yeah, he does! As I pointed out to Joni in the car. My Pb is now 140kg ahead of his

Great session matey, real good.

80kg Log Press:

Miniband!!

Btw, that was an ok push press too

packing that miniband to my bag now!

ok, today, pretty damn good session again. Still way off pre-december strength levels, but catching up fast!

bench press
8x60
5x80
3x100
2x110
1x115
1x120
2x120
6x110
5x110
5x110
8x100

whoops, thats a fair bit of volume.

Push press
5x60
3x70
3x80
2x85 - tough
1x90 - tough but made it

almost on my previous strength levels with push press.

shoulder machine press
cant remember the work sets upwards, but the top was:
4x95 (stack) - 2 rep improvement from last week
12x75

two sets of db rear delt flyes

Todays session was a mixed bag. Good squatting, but then ran out of steam. Perhaps this constant pushing is catching up on me, i need a good nights sleep (havent had one for two weeks now) and some serious relaxation to keep the gains coming.

Squats
6x60
5x100
3x140
2x160
2x180 - first wee high, second sky high, need to get used to heavy weights again. Strength is there.
6x155

rack pulls - just below knee height
few sets up to 5x200 before failing with 220 and 210 - just didn't have the edge today.

power shrugs
15x200
15x220

Monster bench session yesterday, mate.

aye it was!

But: disaster, i am sick. Sore throath, wee bit of temperature and the whole works. Everything is geared towards recovery and will take tomorrow off from work (cant today)

f**ks sake dude. How many times have we been f**king ill recently?

I'm going to start wearing a gas mask to the gym!

It's the lack of meat....
