fighting woo with woo Member 206, 1491 posts SQ 227.5, BP 165, DL 260 652.5 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq	I need to catch up on my journal. Tuesday - ish I've only got a vague memory of this workout. I remember I was in a helicopter, and a man with extraordinary living shoes gave me some plasticine. No, hang on, that was a dream. Squats - beltless I definitely did some. They were much more difficult than I anticipated. I think I started at 150 X 2, then did 160 X 2, 170 X 2 and ended at 180 X 2. Legs went very crampy even on the first sets. Bench Press I did some of these too. Worked my way up to 150 X 3, which I was happy with. Paused speed bench press Pretty sure this was 4-5 sets of 120 X 3. They weren't very speedy. Fat Gripz cable rows Quite a few sets.

fighting woo with woo Member 206, 1491 posts SQ 227.5, BP 165, DL 260 652.5 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq	Friday I trained with my mate at a David Lloyd Centre, which was an interesting experience. Plenty of yummy mummies there. Squat racks etc weren't really the right height for me, making fronties much harder. I think the numbers are right. Push Press 70 X 5 70 X 5 80 X 3 90 X 2 95 X 2 100 X 2 105 X 2 110 X 1 Front squats 70 X 5 100 X 4 120 X 2 130 X 2 140 X 2 145 X 2 150 X 2 155 X 1 Fat Gripz pulldowns Quite a few sets, then handed over to matey. At the weight I was using, he couldn't tell any difference between the gripz and the regular bar. This shows me how weak my grip is, because he is (a) by no means a serious weight trainer and (b) a homosexual.

I went the route of one all-out set in each exercise, which I rather like. 210 X 6 on deads was the killer for me. Some way off my best, but an improvement. 120 X 8 on close grips is good for me - it might be approaching a PB for reps. Deadlifts 70 X 5 70 X 5 120 X 3 150 X 2 180 X 2 210 X 1 220 X 3 225 X 2 230 X 1 210 X 6 (see vid.) Close grip bench press 70 X 5 70 X 5 100 X 3 120 X 8 120 X 4 120 X 3 Assisted pull-ups on machine (FatGripz) Ah ha ha ha ha ha. No honestly, they were laughable. I had so much assistance on these I was probably only lifting my shoes up and down. I still enjoyed them, though. 5 sets of an indeterminate number. Video

I'll try a 5-3-1 program and see how it works out. As usual,the poundages start off very conservatively. Nevertheless, I don't know what's up with me and squats at the moment. These weights ought to be easy, but I found it really tough. Then a few fatgripz pull-ups.Once again,amazingly bad at these. Beltless squats 70 X 5 100 X 3 120 X 2 145 X 5 150 X 5 160 X 5 100 X 8 100 x 8 100 X 8 Assisted pull ups with fatgripz 50-55kg X 5, 5 sets

Sunday Those squats from last session just killed my legs. I had worst DOMS than Maltese Premier Dom Mintoff on a trip to Castle Domington. Or something like that. I can't understand it, given the modest nature of the workout. Maybe it was sitting around. Anyway, the 5-3-1 turned out to be the world's most quickly abandoned program. Today I was due to do 195 for my top weight for reps. I just didn't fancy it: in theory, that should be around 9 reps for me, which is endurance athlete territory as far as I'm concerned. Bit of a meh session. Grip wasn't there today for the 220 and 230, though I think I had more reps in me. Almost got 7 on the bench press, which is OK. Deadlifts 70 X 5 70 X 4 120 X 3 150 X 2 180 X 2 200 X 2 210 X 1 220 X 3 230 X 1 Stiff legged deadlifts 150 X 7 150 X 6 150 X 6 Bench Press 70 X 5 70 X 5 100 X 3 100 X 3 120 X 3 140 X 6 Paused bench 120 X 3 120 X 3 120 X 3 120 X 3 120 X 3 Fat Gripz assisted chins 50-60kg removed 5 sets of 4-8 reps

You calling me a routine whore? Just for that, I did the 'threes' today. Wednesday Nothing to write home about. At least my legs didn't cramp up today.I have got marginally better at rowing with the fat gripz. I look forward to the day when I can row 70 kg with them. Beltless squats 70 X 5 70 X 4 120 X 2 150 X 3 160 X 3 170 X 3 100 X 8 100 X 8 100 X 8 Close grip bench press 70 X 5 70 X 5 100 X 4 120 X 5 125 X 5 130 X 4 FatGripz bent over rows 50 X 8 55 X 6 55 X 6 55 X 5 55 X 4

fighting woo with woo Member 206, 1491 posts SQ 227.5, BP 165, DL 260 652.5 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq	Friday Deadlifts were OK today. I couldn't quite lock the fourth rep out on 220 as my grip was going, but I'm claiming it anyway. Bench wasn't good: one of those days where one could make a cup of tea waiting for the bar to get down to my chest, then zero punch on the way up. Fatgripz rows reach the dizzying heights of 60kg. Well,I couldn't even hold the bar with 50kg when I started, so it's progress. Deadlifts 70 X 5 70 X 4 120 X 2 120 X 2 150 X 2 180 X 2 200 X 2 210 X 1 220 X 4 Stiff legged deadlifts 155 X 6 155 X 6 155 X 6 Bench Press 70 X 5 70 X 5 110 X 5 110 X 4 140 X 4 140 X 3 140 X 3 140 x 3 Fatgripz rows 60 X 4 60 X 3 50 X 6 50 X 5

I approve. Beltless squats 70 X 5 100 X 4 140 X 5 160 X 3 180 X 2 100 X 8 100 X 8 100 X 8 Close grip bench press 70 X 5 70 X 5 100 X 4 120 X 5 120 X 5 120 X 5 120 X 5 Fat gripz assisted chins 5 sets, going up to 45kg assistance.

Member 762, 79 posts SQ 200, BP 135, DL 250 585.0 kgs @ 106kgs UnEq	Cliff long time no see. Thanks to your gym turning down the music we now have loads of the ex members over here doing bicep curls in the squat rack! Can you ask owner to turn the "tunes" back up and invite them back innit Good to see you still getting under the bar. Shame you train so early as would be good to find somebody to train with local.

I fancied a change on deadlifts and used straps for once. It makes such a difference for me. I don't know if I've ever doubled 240 before. I felt good for about 250 with straps. Bench was a bit s**t. I don't seem to be going anywhere with it at the moment. Tried fatgripz on DB rows. See poundages for hilarity. Deadlifts 70 X 5 120 X 4 150 X 2 180 X 2 200 X 1 210 x 1 220 X 1 230 X 3 (straps) 240 X 2 (straps) Stiff legged deadlifts 160 X 6 160 X 6 Bench Press 70 X 5 70 X 4 110 X 4 120 X 3 140 X 4 145 X 2 150 X 2 Paused bench press - 3 second pauses 120 X 3 120 X 3 120 X 3 FatGripz one arm rows 25 X 4 (4-5 sets)
