 Member 4416, 1372 posts SQ 210, BP 175, DL 240625.0 kgs @ 122kgs UnEq | A.M short workout. had to do a double poo and a late start in the exercises. Back was a little tired so ignored deadlifts today. Took a more H.I.T approach. Mentzer or Yates style. Standing barbell press. 18 reps, 1 sec up, 3-4 seconds down. A couple of solid minutes of neck, arm and shoulder warm ups. Mostly waving arms around like a lunatic. 40kg. 10 reps. Same count. Oh dear. Seems my muscular endurance like this, immediately becomes obvious in its weakness. 1 set of strict slower negatives already smashes me. 120second break 60kg. 8 reps. Did a little grunt to self and psycho eyes. Same count. Final rep was a shaking burner, but strict none the less. Facial contortions like a virgin on pneumatic drill. 120second break. 70kg 5 reps. Same count. Considered a push press 6th but couldn't move it slightly. Smashed by a baby H.I.T beginner workout. Barbell rows. "Yates Rows" it would appear. More like an upright approx 30degree torso. 70kg. 10 reps. Hard squeeze back and slower release. Felt lovely. Not relying on my spinal erectors much. 120second break. 90kg. 8 reps. Focussed on up 1 sec, down 2-3 without rest at the bottom. Felt that. Feel somewhat similar to wide arm weighted pulls but feel it in traps too. Repeat to failure. 7 reps this time. Squeezed every drop of self pity in to each rep. Feeling them now, over 3 hours later. Time is running out quickly. Tis also raining a bit. Bits of spittle, like an old man with a trebor. 50kg barbell. Only 2 minutes after the rows of doom. Tried a slower negative for each rep here. Possibly a mistake. I am not good at cheat curling back to the top. 4 clean 1 up 3 down reps, then the 5th was 1 up and 90deg hold. 4 second hold before my eyeballs almost ejected, Total Recall style. Took 3 minutes recovery here. 50kg again. Last set really pussified my ego. This time I kept controll 1-2up and the same down. No extension pause. Only 5 reps again. What a weasley little maggot I am today. Out of time. Roll on Monday and a more disciplined timetable and a carb charged workout. | ||

With both my shoulders and biceps still a wee tired, it was a silly choice. Did nothing but deadlifts. Attempted some kind of romanian deadlift which, watching back is really just pause lower below knee. 10 x 70kg pause thingies 8 x 70kg more pause thingies 6 x 120kg normal 5 x 140kg 5 x 160kg, over under grip. What a pussy I am 3 x 160kg with straps. Couldn't get on with them. Hate starting lower down to get straps set up. Ruins my start. Will stick with them only for rows. 8 x 160kg 6 x 170kg 12 x 140kg 10 x 140kg Feeling it badly. Also, think straps made me a bit off balance. Might have hurt myself a little. Wanted to AMRAP 160 or 140 but body is tired. Slept good. This morning short workout 4 sets of 25 push ups 5 sets of 10 lying paralette pull ups. Will keep to that most mornings. Cardio/shadow boxing tomorrow morning. | ||

Coulda done 100x5 but didn't want to compromise technique Bunch of star jumps and shoulder warm ups for 2 intense minutes. ** Barbell Squat ** - 20.0 kgs x 5 reps Down over 4 seconds and focussing on pumping up my deflated glutes. wide grip, just inside the plates. - 20.0 kgs x 5 reps Narrower hand placement - 90.0 kgs x 5 reps - 110.0 kgs x 5 reps - 120.0 kgs x 5 reps - 100.0 kgs x 10 reps Oh yeah.
