120k - lapped -failed to load
140k - lapped

I'll record things better next time I'm at Tony's.

Inaugural sesh since loosing a fair bit of weight. Hoping strength will fly up now as I put some weight on and get into strength training.Enjoyed the stones and I hope Tony is right in that they could be a strong event for me.

Speaking of Tony , I'd like to thank him for letting me train in his garden and showing me how to go on. Hopefully I can repay him by beating boar in the comp.


Today

Cheers Mr Small , I look forward to competing against you at the comp.

boar, I seriously expect seshion on seshion progress at the moment, I really am weak as p*ss since my cut.

Right this should be a laugh. I'm visiting a new gym today as it's the only one near me that has power racks or squat stands believe it or not. I've never really trained squats for any period of time and my pb was a one off attempt at Tonys last year. If I can work up to 100k for reps I'll be happy today. Short term I'm hoping for working sets with 140k although Tony says I should probably do fronties rather than back squats so this may have to wait. I certainly dont fancy trying to perfect my front squat technique on my first day in a new gym, I'm afraid my ego is a little too fragile for that. I will report back later.

Nice to have you around mate.

How much strength do you think you lost on the cut mate?

Cheers JC, really hoping stones is something I can hold my own on as it aint gonna be squats anytime soon.

Youngy, thanks mate, are you competing in the mini viking comp ? strength wise before my cut my best deadlift was 180kx3 and I struggled with a 170k single at the weekend, saying that I never really trained deads before or during my cut. The best example I can give is that pre cut I was incline db pressing 48k db's and I struggled with the 35's on the last week of my cut. I know incline db press is what considered gay on here though so we'll say no more about that , lol.





Squats
60kx12
80kx6
100kx4

Front Squats
60kx8

SLD's
60kx6
80kx6
100kx6
100kx6

Seated calvesx2
Standing calvesx2


Squats were just as bad as predicted strength wise however the movement itself was comfortable enough.
Front squats felt horrible, really struggling to keep bar in position.
Obviously not much work done but I really do want to ease into these, I cant be doing with wincing all day at work tomorrow.

New gym has lots of good equipment.

Squat rack
Power cage
Log
Trap bar
Big dumbells

Once I get settled in I can see me training there more than my current gym.

Quite alot then I would say!

Nah. I live in Glasgow and work every sunday so it would have been hard to get down there and stuff. Also havent ever done any strongman training. Could make excuses all night haha would have liked to have done it though.

Thanks to Tony for another fun ( sea of pain ) seshion.

Deads
140kx3
150kx3
160kx3
170kx3
180kx3
190kx3 - PB

Log

Yoke
140kx20m
220kx20m - 40+ seconds

Duck walk
50kx20m
103kx20m
128kx20m

Incline log
42kx3
92kx3
102kx8


Very pleased with deads.
Couldn't nail form on the log but the 72kx5 was pleasing.
Yoke was a f*cking nightmare. Boar, I may have underestimated this event.
Dont think the incline log was very similar to what we will be doing at the contest. Incline was a bit low and the log was fatter making for a smaller range of motion.

Spent the best part of the seshion hobling about wincing and generally feeling sorry for myself due to lower back and shin pumps. I really was in a sh*te state. Going to have to bump up water intake and try some potassium and taurine. Cant have a repeat of that f*cking carry on.

Got home and my usual training partner asked if I'd nip down the gym with him so I did and chucked in the following.

Incline DB Press
25kx12
32.5kx6
40kx6
48kx6
55kx3
48kx8

BB curls
30kx3x8

Concentration curls
15kx6x2

Well I have to get my ghey BB stuff in dont I !

Actually really pleased with the incline pressing. Back up to the 48k's and beyond

Strong session there mate, good work. 190kgx3 Deadlift is very impressive, your incline strength is just crazy too. I'll be having my first attempt at a yoke today, I'm expecting it to be a nightmare too!

Yoke will get easier quickly mate, I've only done it twice, but the second attempt was much better than the first ever time. I had an egg at the bottom of my neck for ages after though!
