Member 2117, 118 posts SQ 140, BP 92.5, DL 175407.5 kgs @ 67kgs UnEq | My name's Martin and I have been lifting on and off over the past year or two. I've recently starting taking it more seriously and now train 3-4 times a week, usually with likesadeadkf and SuperSteel101. I'm hoping to keep this journal so I can track my progress. I'll also be writing on my blog at http://ifeardolphins.blogspot.com but it will usually just consist of the same content as I post here. When I go for a new PB I'll try get it on film so you should see some videos soon as I'm currently at or approaching my old PB's. I'll be posting my lifts from yeserday and today shortly. | ||

Member 2117, 118 posts SQ 140, BP 92.5, DL 175407.5 kgs @ 67kgs UnEq | I didn't feel up for training on Monday or Tuesday and so my lifts were a bit off but today I felt really good and as a result I lifted quite well. Bench Bar x 12 40kg x 8 60kg x 6 75kg x 3 80kg x 3 (PB for triples) 85kg x 1 (Equal my PB for 1-rep max) 70kg x 3 (Paused) 70kg x 3 (Paused) Pull-ups BW x 8 BW x 8 +5kg x 4 +5kg x 3 BW x 4 Dips BW x 10 BW x 10 BW x 10 +10kg x 5 BW x 10 I was particularly happy with my bench today, getting a PB for triples and equalling my 1-rep max. I was only going for a double at 80 but as I got both reps smoothly I decided to go for a third and was surprised I got it (I also started laughing half way through the final rep for some reason :S). | ||

The bench PB will be going up soon. I sure have! Yeah I think it will. I was reading yours and it seems people give good advice so I feel that would be benificial. How did you see I created it so quick? Did you just spot it by chance? Yeah it definitely should be. | ||

Member 2117, 118 posts SQ 140, BP 92.5, DL 175407.5 kgs @ 67kgs UnEq | I had some sort of throat cold but decided to go to the gym anyway. I didn't do very much but I was very happy with what I was lifting and I think my form held together nicely too. Squat Bar x Loads 60kg x 5 80kg x 5 90kg x 5 (x2) 95kg x 5 (x2) 100kg x 5 (Felt good) Considering I got 100kg for five and it felt quite easy, and after lifting quite heavy for me the previous sets I should definitely be at my old PB of 110kg for one. Next Friday I think I'll attempt it or maybe even try to beat it. I finished up in the gym with some step-ups onto a bench keeping it nice and easy. BW x 5 (Each leg) +20kg x 8 (EL) | ||

Member 2117, 118 posts SQ 140, BP 92.5, DL 175407.5 kgs @ 67kgs UnEq | Today was quite a good day all round, even though I'm still battling a cold. I ended up with a new one-rep max on the bench which I was very pleased about. My training for today was as follows: Bench Bar x 12 40kg x 5 60kg x 3 82.5kg x 1 90kg x 1 (PB) 75kg x 3 75kg x 5 75kg x 4 (Failed the 5th rep) Military Press Bar x 10 40kg x 8 50kg x 4 (Failed the 5th rep) (Rep PB) 45kg x 6 45kg x 6 45kg x 5 Seated Row (Machine) 60kg x 5 70kg x 5 80kg x 5 80kg x 6 80kg x 8 Lat Pull Down (Machine) 70kg x 5 65kg x 6 65kg x 8 I finished today with some random band stretches that likesadeadkf showed me. I bought a Flip cam today and got a video of the PB so I'll get it fired up later. | ||

Member 2117, 118 posts SQ 140, BP 92.5, DL 175407.5 kgs @ 67kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 29.03.2011 @ 22:29 PM by Roffall DeadliftBar x Loads 60kg x 8 80kg x 5 110kg x 5 110kg x 5 120kg x 5 120kg x 5 110kg x 5 Shrugs Bar x 20 50kg x 20 60kg x 20 60kg x 20 Bar x 20 Chin ups BW x 10 BW x 8 BW x 6 BW x 7 BW x 7 Bicep Dumbbell Curl 12.5kg x 8 (Each Arm) 15kg x 8 (For 3 sets) Decline Sit-up BW x 20 +5kg for 15 BW x 10 (More declined) Overall I am quite happy with todays workout. I was focussing mainly on my deadlift form as last week I was told I am arching a bit. I seemed to have kept decent form today, losing form slighlty on the last rep of each set. The weight was quite easy and I can lift it quite quickly, all I need now is good form before I can start pushing for the higher weights! | ||
