 Member 2179, 68 posts SQ 180, BP 120, DL 245545.0 kgs @ 85kgs UnEq | Cheers mate! 6.3.11 6 sets of 1 log onemotion 92kg, 1 axle C+J 85kg CGBP: 60x10, 80x10x2, 60x20 Hammerstrength Row: 70x20x2 Wanted to have a bash at the champs of the future overhead medley. Warmed up then had a go and got 1 of each in 75 seconds, which was a bit disappointing. Then realised I had the 70kg log, making it 92kg rather than 85...Might explain why I struggled a bit. So did six sets of a single on each then some bodybuilding to get jaaaaacked... | ||

Member 2179, 68 posts SQ 180, BP 120, DL 245545.0 kgs @ 85kgs UnEq | 13" DLs: 70xlots, 120x6, 160x5, 200x2, 210, 220, 230, 240miss RDL: 120x5, 140x5, 160x5, 170x5 Ab wheel x lots Palloff press 2x10 GHR (setting 10): 2x5 Bit of a weak day, disappointed. DLs felt good then got very heavy. I think I'm quite weak from the floor to above the knee. Oddly deficits feel better, as I can accelerate the bar before it gets to mid-shin/below knee. Will work on pulls from floor and just above. | ||

Amazing progress, haven't known improvements like this ever I don't think. Must be doing the log and axle regularly that has brought it up. | ||

Member 2179, 68 posts SQ 180, BP 120, DL 245545.0 kgs @ 85kgs UnEq | Back Squat: 60x10, 80x5, 100x5, 120x3, 140, 150, 160, 170, 175, 160x3 PB, 150x5 PB, 140x5 Pause Squats: 100x5, 110x5 GHR Situps: 3x20 Split Squats: 30x10, 60x10 Frustrating to still not see an improvement in squats. 175 was a horrible grind. Still, got Pb triple and 5 so not all bad. Just need to continue caning the squats and get stronger I guess! | ||

Member 2179, 68 posts SQ 180, BP 120, DL 245545.0 kgs @ 85kgs UnEq | 12.3.11 Axle Clean+ 5 PP: 45, 65, 75, 80, 85 C+3PP: 90 C+PP: 95, 100, 105miss PP Log One-Motions: 70x5, 80x3, 90, 95 PB, 100miss x 2 Arm-over-arm: Sled+DBx1, Sled+DB+2 blocks x1 (37s) Chinups: 17 Legs destroyed today from squats so decided to do some overhead stuff instead of deadlift. Good session, annoyed to miss 105 axle push press but pleased to get 95 log. 100 was not moving, however! Arm-over-arm sled pulls all but did for my legs and low back. Deadlifting tomorrow is going to be interesting... | ||

Member 2179, 68 posts SQ 180, BP 120, DL 245545.0 kgs @ 85kgs UnEq | So Sunday deadlifting didn't happen as my hamstrings and adductors are so destroyed from squats that it hurt to sit down and I had to stand up by walking my hands up my quads. Always good to impress people at work. 15.3.11 BTN Rack Jerk: 60x5x2, 80x5, 90x3, 100x2, 110x2, 120, 125, 130, 135, 140missx2, 140 PB Row 500m: 1.23.3 Pleased with rack jerks behind neck, don't do these often but couldn't get more than 125 last time I think, so a good PB and 300lbs overhead! | ||

Member 2179, 68 posts SQ 180, BP 120, DL 245545.0 kgs @ 85kgs UnEq | 16.3.11 DL: 70x5x2, 120x5, 160x3, 180, 200, 220, 230, 240 5" Deficit: 160x3, 180x3, 200 Pullups: +10kg vest 3x10 240 wasn't too bad, bit of a curve in the back but it came up ok. Most I've DLed for a while so reasonably pleased. 5" deficits felt strong, I actually feel like I am fairly strong off a deficit, and actually its below the knee that I'm relatively weak, especially from a dead start, ie a 15-17" DL. Gonna work on these. 17.3.11 DB Press: 20x10, 25x10x3 DB Row: 45x15x3 Bis, Tris + Traps x lots Couldn't get to the gym today so did some bodybuilding with DBs at home. | ||

Gone and easily forgotten....... Member 331, 22298 posts SQ 185, BP 100, DL 230515.0 kgs @ 85kgs UnEq | What is your diet like mate? You seem to be one of those guys that monitors things for optimal everything, and I saw a few low carb recipes on your blog. | ||
| JamieC | | ... | 17-03-2011 @ 19:18 |
Member 2179, 68 posts SQ 180, BP 120, DL 245545.0 kgs @ 85kgs UnEq | Hehe, yeah occasionally I try and eat well, but 'monitoring everything for optimal results' is a bit far from the truth! To be honest I'm pretty inconsistent with eating, I just try and eat lots of protein and vegetables and drink tons of milk. I can be quite busy with Uni so rely on shakes a fair bit. The low-carb lasagna is just on the blog because it's really nice! | ||

Squats frustrate the hell out of me, just cannot seem to make any improvements. Just got to keep hitting them I suppose. Speed DLs felt good, am trying to work on accelerating the bar from the get-go, at different heights to strengthen my pull below the knee. | ||
