My conditioning is still suprisingly pretty good mate (which is nice) to be honest as I do very little cardio (probs all those slow twitch thingies deep inside me)!!!!. On the downside though I'm still weak (which is not so nice). I want to be a decent Powerlifter when I grow up though  Must try harder | ||

bollocks to global warming Member 475, 1735 posts SQ 200, BP 125, DL 235560.0 kgs @ 115kgs UnEq | Bike 10 mins Warm up with bar x 5 mins. Bench Press Normal grip, little finger just inside rings. Bar x 20 reps 10 reps @ 40kg 5 reps @ 60kg 5 reps @ 80kg 1 rep @ 90kg 1 rep @ 100kg 4 sets x 1rep @ 110kg 1 x fail 3 sets x 5 reps @ 90kg Fat man pullups 5 x 12 Plate front raises 4 x 15 @ 20kg Pleased with these despite the fail on the last rep. Fortunately Oly weightlifter mate Ed was training tonight and was there to help the bar back to the stands. If I'd hand a handoff I reckon I'd have got this but I insist on unracking the bar myself the theory being that when at a Comp it should seem piss easy with a handoff. I'll keep the weight at 110 and get all 5 reps next time before moving up to 112.5kg. Definitely feel 115 - 120 is there now for a max single. Got family commitments on this weekend so will probs have to miss squatting this week and move it forward to a week on Sat. I'd kind of planned an easy week this week anyway as I haven't had a 'deload' for 6 weeks or so and strength has been moving forward (slowly but moving forward)  | ||

bollocks to global warming Member 475, 1735 posts SQ 200, BP 125, DL 235560.0 kgs @ 115kgs UnEq | f**k all training so far this week, woke up feeling crap yesterday, bad throat etc, so just did some bands and stretching after work. Feeling a bit better today but will do same again. Meetings up in Newcastle area tomorrow all day so will probs leave it until squats on Saturday. No point getting pissed off just got to accept it Cheers Mike | ||

bollocks to global warming Member 475, 1735 posts SQ 200, BP 125, DL 235560.0 kgs @ 115kgs UnEq | Bike 10 mins Warm up with bar, s/leg deadlifts etc. Squats. bar x 10 x 2 sets 60kg x 5 80kg x 5 100kg x 5 120kg x 5 Belt On 140kg x 3 160kg x 1 170kg x 1 175kg x 1 x fail 175kg x 1 x fail Incline abs 4 x 12 @ 25kg Standing abs on pulldown machine 4 x 12 paused at crunch position Crunches on swiss ball 2 x 30 Mediocre session today. Been feeling rough with Manflu all week and still coughing up crap of my chest but haven't trained all week and wanted to get the 182.5kg nailed today. Not the brightest idea in the circumstances I suppose but felt good on warm ups. The 170 was fairly slow so decided to do 175 with the intention of then doing 182.5. On the first 175 the bar rolled forward coming out of the hole towards the top of my neck and pushed me forwards (not strong enough yet to GM 175kg)!! and the bar fell forwards onto the pins. On the second rep I got buried in the hole (saved by the pins again fortunately). I seemed to fatigue really quickly today, just not a lot there on the heavier sets so just did some ab work and left. In hindsight I should have stuck with the plan of 170 x 1 x 5 sets but in reality today I would've struggled to get the 4th rep. Not going to dwell on it, just an off day I guess | ||

bollocks to global warming Member 475, 1735 posts SQ 200, BP 125, DL 235560.0 kgs @ 115kgs UnEq | Bike 10 mins Warm up with bar x 5 mins. Bench Press Normal grip, little finger just inside rings. All presses to a 120mm thick board. Bar x 20 reps 10 reps @ 40kg 5 reps @ 60kg 5 reps @ 85kg 5 reps @ 95kg 2 reps @ 105kg 4 sets x 2 reps @ 115kg 1 set x 1 rep @ 120kg Then full reps to chest. 3 set x 5 reps @ 90kg 1 arm D/bell row 4 x 20 @ 37.5kg ( as usual, 20 reps right arm 20 reps left arm) PUMPTASTIC!! Pleased tonight, moved up another 2.5kg on board press and hit a solid 120 for a single after the work sets which is a pb single on boards. Encouragingly the 120 felt light in my hands when I unracked it Thinking about buying a bigger dumbell for rowing as the 37.5s are the biggest we have at Mytholmroyd and it's turning into more of a cardio exercise. | ||
