My 'attempt at Strongman' log

My wide bench is much lower than my close grip, I believe it's a side effect of been f**king awesome

I also believe this to be true!

I also believe those that differ in opinion are as wrong as those who believe in creationism

I too believe this to be true. How is the sciatica after the last attempt at deadlifting?

Not sure- it's not bothered me, but i've not done anything that makes it hurt. Felt it a bit with farmers today, but not much. Avoiding squats and deads seems to be doing the trick.

Week off training as i've been away with on holiday with the wife and kids.

Tonight>

This was possibly the hardest squatting I've done. Feeling pretty rough on the later sets, really wanted to vomit and the 90 second rest period was to short to recover properly.

10 minute break.

Ham curls:
10,10,10,10, 5+5+3(drop sets)
Calf raise:
10,10,10

Jelly legs, home time. Hard work but enjoyable (in a S&M way ) Glute didn't hurt- tight and a bit numb kind of, but no stabbing pain. Quads are shot! I expect tomorrow may be sore.

Good squatting tonight mate, rather masochistic though with the 10 X 10.

Cheers Neil, light but hard.

Pretty sore today so did a mess about with some light squatting and stretching.

Good that the glute didn't hurt after your week off chilling.

Autum and winter of Olympic stuff?

Cheers Neil, body building for me (for now)

Tonight>

Lat pull down (60 sec rest):
50kg 10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10

35kg 8 (5 sec rest) 1,1,1,1,1

Frazzled, pumped and nothing left, enjoying this BB stuff

Edit to add- my legs are still sore as f*ck because of that squatting the other day!

Tonight>

80kg 10,10,10
70kg 10
60kg 10,10,10,7,10,10
Over estimated what I could start with, humbled by the 10x10!

22kg 10,10,10,7r+6l,7r+6l

Superset with 14kg DB, 60 sec rest:

Done.

Tonight>

Ham curls, 60 sec between sets:
50kg 10,10,10,7,4
Calf raised:
10,10,10,20

The 10x10 squat almost killed me on the last sets, mentally very hard to do the last two sets, really didn't want to....

10x10 bicurls tonight in front of the TV

Log C&P:
10x 42kg

Weak as fook! But I'm a bit hungover...

Loads of ab work- rollouts, leg raises, crunches etc

Got 7 ab rollouts (topless PR ) :

And had a crack at a 'Dragon Flag' at the end off the session, which I'll nail soon:


Interesting change to the norm; ab rollouts make your face feel like it's going to burst!
