Chris's Strongman Journey

Remind me never to moan about the missus again. Got up this morning to be told she had booked me a fullbody massage as a surprise .

Just come out now and i dont think my back/ shoulders have ever felt so pain free. Plus the girl was smoking hot who had her oily hands all over me. Booked in for 8th December for another session with Emma and her oils.

your training has been looking great recently mate. pb's all over the place. t**t.

did she give 'extras'?

Cheers Kev - my good days are still not a patch on you though.

I was only supposed to half 30 mins but she must have been enjoying herself because i was in there short of an hour.

See what extras i get next time.

Kettlebell session tonight since i couldnt make it to the gym today.

Kettlebell Shoulder Press
12 Reps x 4 Sets

Side Bends
20 Reps x 4 Sets

Back feels fine afterwards although im breathing out of my arse which i can only assume is a good thing.

Surprising session tonight because ive been running round like a dickhead allday getting stuff sorted for a party were having tonight and forgot to eat much.

Push Press
5x60kg
5x80kg
1x95kg
1x105kg
1x110kg
1x115kg (PB)
Fx120kg
5x100kg

Was f**king gobsmacked when 115kg flew up because everything leading up to it felt heavy. 120kg was a million miles away but then 5x100kg was a PB for reps too.

Strict Press
5x60kg
5x70kg
3x75kg
1x80kg
1x85kg (PB)
Fx90kg

Think im capable of more on strict press but my shoulders were fried by this point but still managed a 5kg increase on my previous PB.

Dumbbell Snatches
10x30kg
10x37.5kg
6x40kg
1x42.5kg

Did 5 on each side of the 10 rep sets and 3 on the 6 rep set. I think 42.5kg is a PB but i didnt set out with that intention - it was more for a bit of fun than anything else.

Tricep Pushdowns
5x10 @ 130kg

Pretty happy considering i was running on empty - need to up my game though as Monday is the start of training for U105s qualifer in April.

AWESOME overhead work mate.

Your overhead work is flying up mate!

Cheers guys - need to be good at something.

wowzers nice work !

are you supplementing your already awsome diet with creatine ?

good kettlebell sesh too ,keep that fitness on the up ...

Cheers Boar - i must admit im a bit of a supplement whore. Tend to have creatine 30 mins before training to give myself a bit extra in training.

Plan is to keep plugging away at the kettlebell stuff too and increase the intensity in my goal of becoming not only fitter but leaner too.

LOL, the innocence of a bispam lad .... it was a euphamism for other types of supplements

Oh i see - in that case no not yet.

LOL @ Boarski

Absolutely flying at the mo Chris
