Post Edited: 20.10.2006 @ 22:04 PM 20/10Random pressing/legs, backing off to higher reps for a week or two. Bench Press 10x60kg 10x60kg 10x60kg 12x55kg 2x70kg 1x80kg DB Shoulder Press 12x15kg 8x15kg 8x15kg Leg Press 5x40kg 5x80kg 5x120kg 5x160kg Squat 3x60kg 3x80kg 3x80kg 1x90kg Tried lower bar position and wide stance; 3x60kg Felt awful, 3x60kg was very difficult. What the f**k? Aims for next sessions: 3x12x55kg Bench, 5x5x160kg Leg Press, 3x12x15kg DB Shoulder Press, 3x10x5kg Pull-up, 6x4x80kg Squat | |||

Originally posted by Emperor_Naseem... Joni, you say it strengthens the quads, but for what? For the leg press, not the squat. You assume there is minimal carryover to the squat, but I don't think this is true. If it strengthens the quads then it will strengthen the squat too, despite the different movement. A stronger muscle is a stronger muscle, regardless. | |||

| 11/10 Squat 5x77.5kg 5x77.5kg 5x77.5kg 5x77.5kg 5x77.5kg Not massively difficult but lost form a bit on the last few reps of the last sets, not putting enough legs into it. 6x4x80kg next I think. | |||

| LGB, you could perhaps try switching around set/rep schemes or do dips instead for a while. I would have thought a peaking routine is a bit unneccesary if you haven't been training that long. | |||

Post Edited: 10.10.2006 @ 01:41 AM PushBench Press 6x70kg 5x70kg 4x70kg Seem to have plateaued a bit here, tried for 4x6x70kg three times now and getting worse each time. Also failed 87.5kg over the weekend. Gonna drop back down to 3x10x60kg then work up to lower reps and hopefully nail 4x6x70 and 1x87.5 by the end of the month. DB Shoulder Press 4x22.5kg 4x22.5kg 4x22.5kg - very difficult 4x22.5kg - also very difficult 22.5's are too heavy for me to throw around at the moment so gonna drop the weight back to 17.5 and try for 3x10 next session. Definitely think that pushing pretty much each set to concentric failure has blasted my CNS a bit. | |||

| I like to binge a lot, but nothing massive. Stuff like 5 hamburgers, 5 mini fillets from KFC, 2 litres of nesquick in one go. Had about 11 slices from the pizza buffet once. | |||

| I warmed up with a few 20kg squats, a 60 and an 80. I hate warming up. | |||

| As requested by Rob here is my log. I do push/pull/legs with 0-2 days of rest between them depending on how I'm feeling. Push - Bench Press, DB Shoulder Press Pull - Pull-up, DB Row, Good Morning Legs - Squats, occasionally FS added in s**t diet but creatine and whey etc, aims are bigger poundages and a one-arm pullup. | |||
