Yeah, my deadlift was never too bad (relative to the lack of training). I suppose, it's the other lifts (particularly pressing) that need a massive improvement. | ||

has spent time in a modern educational setting Member 47, 1221 posts | It was a bit of a mixed session today. Basically, I did (just about) the same exercises as in the previous session - with varied results. 27/12 Deadlifts warmups 205kg X 5 Pendlay rows Warmups 110kg X 3 110kg X 3 110kg X 3 (Paused) Squats warmups 140kg X 3 - well within my comfort zone Push Press warmups 95kg x 1, f2 - I was aiming for 3 but got nowhere with these today. I'm completely embarrassed about the pressing but reasonably satisfied with the rest. | ||

has spent time in a modern educational setting Member 47, 1221 posts | I've (probably) made some unwise training choices over the last few days in an attempt to 'accelerate'  my gains (sorry, gainz).28/12 (On 27/12) A bloke at the gym said he wanted to train some deadlifts with me,"tomorrow". I agreed so, in other words, I started with the DL for the second consecutive day. warmups 210kg X 3 210kg x 3 Cleans numerous reps at several different weights Home! 29/12 We've got a chin-up bar and a pair of dip bars at work so I did several chins and numerous dips throughout the day. 30/12 Similar to the previous day. 31/12 In hindsight, I don't think that I had fully recovered from the 'exertions' of the previous four days as I had a crap session today. ATG Squat warmups 140kg X 3 150kg X f - I was aiming for 3-5 so was pretty pissed off about this. Strict Press warmups 70kg X 3 - easy (as it should be) 75kg x f - embarrassed and pissed off I'm resting tomorrow as the gym is closed. Wednesday will witness an improved session. | ||

 always lookIng for the extra UT2 work. Member 9, 18279 posts SQ 210, BP 167.5, DL 260637.5 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq | Push press is similar to mine and I've not stopped training! With a good pressing routine you could put decent weights overhead. 130 would be a good aim for you. | ||

To be honest, my lack of patience has always resulted in me becoming demotivated because I haven't turned into Big Z overnight. lol. I can't let that happen again. Robbo said:Keep it going Pete!!! I plan to, cheers. WILLSAN said: C- must try harder. happy new year pete! I was thinking more like an F. Happy New Year Will (and the same to everyone else on Sugden). shanejer said:welcome back Pete!! Cheers, Shane. Sparrow said:Push press is similar to mine and I've not stopped training! With a good pressing routine you could put decent weights overhead. 130 would be a good aim for you. Similar to you at push pressing? Is this the 'Mills Modesty Syndrome' again?  I'm certainly aiming for 130+. Like I said, I just need some more patience. Cheers for the encouragement - all of you. | ||

has spent time in a modern educational setting Member 47, 1221 posts | 4/1/13 Deadlifts warmups then... 220kg x 3 225kg X 1, f2 (should have got the second rep but I didn't manage to lock it out and I'm enforcing a 'no hitch' policy on myself) 225kg X f (I'm was determined to get a double on this set but, somehow, didn't even manage the first rep) 200kg x 6 (I probably had 8 reps in me but left it for another day) Pendlay Rows warmups then... Some really snappy work with 70kg for a few sets of 3 115kg x 3 115kg x 3 Push Press warmups then... 90kg x 3 (easy) 95kg X 2, f3 (should have had the third) 85kg X 5 (again, easy) | ||

has spent time in a modern educational setting Member 47, 1221 posts | Post Edited: 09.01.2013 @ 04:34 AM by Pete 09/01/13Same three exercises again. Yeah, I need to stop pussying out of squats but I'm quite 'proud'  of myself just for training.Deadlift warmups then... 200kg x 8 Deficit Pulls (probably 2 inches) 180kg X 10 Push Press warmups then... Plenty of (snappy) singles with a light weight (80kg) 90kg X 5 Pendlay Rows warmups then... 110kg X 5 110kg X 5 The plan with the deadlift is to get to 220kg for 8-10 reps by mid/late February. 205kg for 8 will go next session without a problem. Then I'll aim for some basic linear progression to get the next 15kg for the same amount of reps. I'll then formulate a plan to get to 250kg for 5 by May (?). | ||
