 Has a long back. Member 2322, 2464 posts SQ 260, BP 175, DL 312.5747.5 kgs @ 105kgs UnEq | Thought i best start a training log here seeing as im permanently lurking the board...mainly following Cleggy,Tom,BigKen and Hixxy and a few others logs and adventures in the strength scene , but also i have a big interest in other Scots on the board  I'm 34 years old and from Aberdeenshire , been training now for 18 months , started with standard cast iron weights and a 5 foot bar , quickly outgrew that so about 6 weeks ago i went the whole hog and bought an olympic bar and 185kg package from an online store.I live in a rural town and the gym here is shocking , designed for females and cardioaholics only,it doesnt even have somewhere to benchpress let alone squat. I have been following the stronglifts 5x5 training mainly but im currently stuck with squat progression because i dont have a rack or stands , need to invest in a garage or large shed before i can acquire this though. My current lifting stats are : Height : 6foot 2 Weight : 97kg Squat : 1x97.5kg (bar) , 1x130kg (leverage machine) Bench press : 1x125kg (bar) , 5x150kg (leverage machine) Deadlift : 1x177.5kg (bar) Overhead Press : 1x87kg (bar) Short term my goals are a 140kg bp , 200kg dl , 100kg ohp , and squat i would love 2x bw but atm it feels a mile off because of the lack of a rack or stands  Eventually i would love to get involved in a comp or 2 but that feels a long way off to be fair. MON 25.4.11 SQUAT 5x5 @ 75kg Overhead Press 1x10 @ 40kg 3x5 @ 70kg (5,4,4: Shoulders felt fried for the last reps) Deadlift 1x5 @ 75kg 1x5 @ 130kg 1x5 @ 160kg ( grip was failing for last rep ) | ||

Has a long back. Member 2322, 2464 posts SQ 260, BP 175, DL 312.5747.5 kgs @ 105kgs UnEq | MON 2.5.11 SQUAT 1x5 @ 47kg 5x5 @ 92.5kg Bench Press 1x10 @ 60kg 2x5 @ 82.5kg 1x5 @ 112.5kg (4,5th wasnt even close) 2x5 @ 102.5kg (5,4) Bent Over Row 2x5 @ 60kg 5x5 @ 85kg Tricep Pulldown SS with CG Bench Press 3x10 @ 30kg/60kg (new idea to nail the triceps , was seeing stars by end of 3rd superset , fun fun fun) Incline Situp 3x25 (planning on doing these at end of every workout now , part of our new routine) Dissapointed with the benchpressing , but i had 3 days on the lash at the weekend so i guess i can only expect to fail after poisoning the system that much !! | ||

Has a long back. Member 2322, 2464 posts SQ 260, BP 175, DL 312.5747.5 kgs @ 105kgs UnEq | MON 9.5.11 Back to the grind and feeling well rested and raring to go SQUAT 1x10 @ bar 1x 5 @ 60kg 5x5 @ 100kg (last set was a 10 , just to prove to myself that when cage arrives next week the bigger numbers are well within grasping distance) Overhead Press 1x10 @ bar 1x5 @ 47kg 3x5 @ 62.5kg Deadlift 1x10 @ 60kg 1x5 @ 100kg 1x3 @ 130kg 1x5 @ 165kg (4 only , fingers were about 2 inches longer after 4th rep !!! ) 1x5 @ 145kg (grip still felt crap on 5th but at least i got the full 5 on this ) 1x1 @ 185kg (tried straps for the first time ever and destroyed this , clearly my grip is the weak link atm with my DL's) Grip Work (Farmers walk with 2 56'ers,supersetted with 2x5kg plate hold each hand) 3x10 garage shuttles (260m) with the 56'er , followed straight after with 2x5kg plate grip and hold for time , all 3 were roughly 45sec holds Dumbbell Hammercurl 2x8 @ 25kg Incline situp 3x20 Good session , was interesting to find out that my left hand is FAIL when it comes to gripping for long periods , even though its my dominant side . | ||
