 over 1000 posts and still no tagline Member 865, 1370 posts SQ 200, BP 155, DL 250605.0 kgs @ 80.6kgs UnEq | jamspastic said: "Sometimes I think people get a little too nuts on the last set and I think many people would be best served if they did the last set for the set reps...or just a few over and call it a day. This is not a license to be a pussy; just understand that we are training for something bigger than today." There's no need to kill yourself in the gym everytime you train. Going to failure in every set and workout, for most people is training suicide. Here, here! (As the saying goes). | ||

just call me J-spaz. Member 1160, 1556 posts SQ 205, BP 140, DL 260605.0 kgs @ 83kgs UnEq | Friday 7/5/10 Last of the deloads. Push press 20kg x 10 40kg x 8 60kg x 5 80kg x 1 84kg x 3x3 Pretty easy, but still got that nasty pain in my left bicep/elbow. Sandbag strict press 55kg x 10 Had a quick mess around with my kegs cleaning a pressing the 70kg one, and trying a few different ways to clean the 92kg one. That's all. | ||

just call me J-spaz. Member 1160, 1556 posts SQ 205, BP 140, DL 260605.0 kgs @ 83kgs UnEq | Staurday am Sled pulling 12 runs (7 forward, 5 backwards)and 4 runs pushing the car. Car pushing was hard, feet kept slipping on the wet tarmac. Orderd a belt from strengthshop on wednesday, got an e-mial notification saying it was posetd on the thursday, and recieved it on friday! Great service. Belt is much softer than i thought it would be, feels really compfortable compared to my old belt, yet still very supportive. | ||

PROOF enough that deloads are for the injured (ie ...me) sled work is mans work Deloads almost always feel harder than they should. I would have to put that to blasting throught the workouts with alomost no rest, using no support gear (belt) and not getting a physc on and just going through the motions. (brooks kubik style). I do think there nessarsary though boar. You can't expect to keep pushing your body every week, hitting p.b's. I'd like to think having regular de-loads is one of the reasons i'm relitivley injury free. Each to their own though  | ||

just call me J-spaz. Member 1160, 1556 posts SQ 205, BP 140, DL 260605.0 kgs @ 83kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 12.05.2010 @ 14:58 PM by jamspastic Monday 10/5/10Bottom position squat 20kg x 10 60kg x 8 100kg x 5 135kg x 2 161kg x 5 161kg x 5 First set felt great, almost light. Second set was a little tougher, kept hitting the stops i'd put on the spotter bars on the way down, on one rep i ended up with one side of the bar infront of them, and the other side behind. But still got all reps without to much of a struggle. Band pull thrs 3 sets of 24 reps. Definatley getting stronger with these. On the first rep, i managed to drag my 92kg concrete block foward,(have my bands attached to a big ass concrete block) had to re position it behind another patio slab. Kroc rows 20kg x 10 40kg x 8 60kg x 6 (straps) 75kg x 30 So hard. Felt like the world was ending 2" thick bar curls bar x 10 30kg x 10 40kg x 8 48.5kg x 8 48.5kg x 8 Finished with 2 sets of leg raises Good ses, feeling strong after my deload Motivational soundtrack of the week. Some days we all need a extra little motivating. Scores like this really get me fired up to lift strong. It's from the sunshine ost, called katana's death part 2, and is allso used in the film Kick ass when Hit girl attempts to rescue big dady and Kick ass (or it's as close to that as i can find). Really great movie. Here it is........... Edit, couldn't get it to embed so here's the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCJFHiXJ6a0 | ||
