 a splendid chap, unlike some bitches on here Member 1670, 1705 posts SQ 190, BP 112.5, DL 220522.5 kgs @ 89.5kgs UnEq | I think I may try dumbbell bench press tomorrow. I've never done them before. I haven't benched in 2 weeks. Couldn't give a f**k. | ||

tabbouleh and fattoush salads were very refreshing Member 267, 8548 posts SQ 220, BP 165, DL 250635.0 kgs @ 90kgs Eq | I've got to bench something, anything, at least once every 5 days. It makes me more of a man. | ||

a splendid chap, unlike some bitches on here Member 1670, 1705 posts SQ 190, BP 112.5, DL 220522.5 kgs @ 89.5kgs UnEq | I was just sitting here wondering why I've got post. delt and tricep DOMS and it's because just before leaving the gym I went for some cable pushdowns. I got 65kg x 6 which is a rep PB. | ||

Squat: (light) 72.5kg x 5 92.5kg x 5 112.5kg x 5 112.5kg x 5 Dumbbell Bench: 20kg x 5 25kg x 5 30kg x 0 (dropped) 30kg x 5 35kg x 0 (dropped) 32.5kg x 5 32.5 kg x 4 (dropped) 32.5kg x 0 (dropped... ON MY ****ING THUMB!!!) Deadlift: (with straps, for obvious reasons) 70kg x 5 110kg x 5 150kg x 3 170kg x 1 185kg x 2 (failed 3rd, thumb really hurting) (PB* for reps technically) 185kg x 1 (failed 2nd above the knee) Rack Pulls: (at the knee, no straps, just mixed grip surprisingly) 70kg x 7 110kg x 5 150kg x 3 180kg x 3 190kg x 3 200kg x 3 210kg x 3 (PB*) 230kg x 0 (got it about an inch off the pins) Thumb swelled up like a sausage after smashing it between two 32.5kg hammers. Vids to come later. Used straps for deadlifts, but it still hurt. First reps were easy, but I think it either dragged on my leg or the bar bounced and hurt my thumb more, but I couldn't do the 3rd rep due to the painful distraction. I had no lockout power for the 2nd set, so I got pissed and decided to do rack pulls. Very surprisingly, I used mixed grip and it was painfree and surprisingly strong. I've been using hook grip for over a year and I didn't think my mixed grip would hold 180kg let alone 210kg x 3, but it did no problem. This hasn't been a great week in training. I know I'm not eating enough, because I've gone down a notch on my belt so I'm losing weight. Need to eat moar. | ||

Member 2116, 19 posts SQ 140, BP 100, DL 170410.0 kgs @ 78kgs UnEq | In your case, losing weight may not be such a bad thing! It was 35kg for the DB presses btw. | ||

a splendid chap, unlike some bitches on here Member 1670, 1705 posts SQ 190, BP 112.5, DL 220522.5 kgs @ 89.5kgs UnEq | Thanks. I stand in front of the bench with arms down by legs holding the dumbbells. I thin simultaneously rock back on to the bench whilst swinging my legs and arms up, such that my arms should end up in the up/locked out position. This takes a bit of practice, certainly more practice with heavier weights. I've got a vid, it's easier to show it that way. http://jaycut.com/content/10-february-2011-558 | ||

a splendid chap, unlike some bitches on here Member 1670, 1705 posts SQ 190, BP 112.5, DL 220522.5 kgs @ 89.5kgs UnEq | Squats: (PB*) 72.5kg x 5 92.5kg x 5 112.5kg x 5 127.5kg x 5 142.5kg x 5 (PB*) 112.5kg x 8 OHP: 30kg x 5 35kg x 5 40kg x 5 45kg x 5 55kg x 3 55kg x 2 (failed 3rd rep) Technically, I was only going for 3 reps, but since I missed this weight for 5 reps on Monday, I decided to go for 5 today. And I got them. I might move to 145kg x 3 for Monday, and will swap my Monday and Friday routines for this program. Or just get 142.5kg x 5 again. Meh. OHP, this is a repeat weight since I missed Monday's set of 5. I'll try again for 5 after the weekend. | ||
