I'm never going to be a static beast but Iv got some numbers in mind to hit in the next few months whilst keeping my moving events fast. | ||

Enjoyed your comp video on facebook , it seemed like everyone struggled with the stones on your side, and that tyre looked evil. Is james back training now or is his back still fooked? | ||

Member 2298, 1768 posts SQ 255, BP 200, DL 320775.0 kgs @ 127kgs UnEq | Monday 8th April Having to sort my training out due to work commitments this month so Monday, Wednesday and Fridays now so I can go and watch the fellow gym1ers compete at the weekends. Anyway, trained at gym1 tonight. Deadlift 60kg x 8 100kg x 5 150kg x 3 190kg x 3 220kg x 1 250kg x 1 275kg x 3 275kg x 3 275kg x 3 Tried a different technique on the last set which kept me in a better position through the lift but I probably won't get the speed on the heavier weights that I di normally. Back extensions 3 x 5 reps paused Close grip paused bench Bar x 10 60kg x 5 100kg x 3 145kg x 4 145kg x 4 145kg x 4 Wanted 5's but wasn't happening. Still going to go up 5kg next week and see how it goes. Tricep pushdowns 90kg x 10 90kg x 10 90kg x 10 Happy with the session especially as I had a banging headache during deads. Feeling good for some big lifts in the near future. | ||

Member 2298, 1768 posts SQ 255, BP 200, DL 320775.0 kgs @ 127kgs UnEq | Wednesday 10th April Trained at gym1 Squats 60kg x 5 100kg x 3 140kg x 3 Slight hip pain so left it there Leg extensions 40kg x 10 50kg x 10 60kg x 10 70kg x 10 80kg x 10 Leg press 100kg x 3 Hack squat 80kg x 8 Hamstring curls 40kg x 10 40kg x 10 40kg x 10 40kg x 10 Hip hurts when I do any squat movement so had to sack off the leg press and hack squats. Not very painful but a nagging pain after doing anything that stretches it. Going to stretch every few days then start doing very light squats when able before building up again. | ||

Member 2298, 1768 posts SQ 255, BP 200, DL 320775.0 kgs @ 127kgs UnEq | Friday 12th April Trained at gym1 as I will be busy tomorrow so no time for events. Log 70kg x 5 - strict 70kg x 3 90kg x 3 100kg x 1 110kg x 1 120kg x 1 130kg x 1 140kg x f x f 110kg x 1 - strict 110kg x 5 Not strong enough to press the 140! Clean is easy and can pop it off the chest ok but not strong enough in the shoulders to press it out. 130 is a comfortable weight theses days but I'm not close to 140 at all. Messed about badly with dumbell. Had enough, need to sort out my crap pressing! | ||

Want to learn the Olympic lifts. Rower x 1000m I could hardly walk after rowing due to tight hips, obviously the reason for my painful squats recently. Hopefully doing a bit of rowing a few times a week will help the flexibility. Leg extensions 40kg x 20 40kg x 20 40kg x 20 Leg curls 2pins x 20 3pins x 20 3pins x 20 Done. | ||
