MIA Member 7, 621 posts SQ 80, BP 45, DL 125250.0 kgs @ 55kgs UnEq | Tonight was the start of the new bench routine. Did a bit of a run but my legs were still way too sore for that from the weekend so did a fair few warm-ups with the bar before starting the working sets Boards 30 kg: 5 40 kg: 5x5 - really about getting used to doing boards again as it has been a very long time. Last sets were unsurprisingly the best form and speed wise CGBP 30 kg: 5, 5, 5 Wide grip 30 kg: 8, 8, 8 Rows (1 armed on machine) 10: 10 20: 20 25: 10, 10, 10 Core stuff - hyperextensions, roman chair and hanging leg raises, weighted little bigs Good introduction to the new higher volume - felt like a worthwhile session  Here is a link to my mountainbike blog if anyone wants a to read a write up about the race http://www.mtbbritain.co.uk/forum/index.php?automodule=blog&am... | ||

MIA Member 7, 621 posts SQ 80, BP 45, DL 125250.0 kgs @ 55kgs UnEq | May have had another short (3 hour or so) cycle at Cannock on Wednesday night - which has thrown my training out a bit this week. What can I say? I'm a CV addict But did manage to make my very sore legs do the first session of this squat cycle. 5 x 5, again - but going up 5 kg per week I think. Warm-up with bar then 30 kg: 8 40 kg: 5x5 And that was it - unfortunately a long day at work left me little time to get to the gym tonight  | ||

We're based down in Malvern now - so it's only an hour from Birches Valley. Or 2 if you go at rush hour | ||

MIA Member 7, 621 posts SQ 80, BP 45, DL 125250.0 kgs @ 55kgs UnEq | Monday - Deadlift Day Warm-up run - felt hard Deads: 60 kg: 5, 5 80 kg: 4 Felt like such hard work I gave up after pulling 2 singles with 100 kg Tuesday - Rest Day Couldn't understand why everything (both weights and CV) had been feeling hard since the middle of last week - I had been eating well, not had too much on at work and have taken training really easy over the last week and a half. Then I realised I just haven't been getting enough sleep. So many factors in the equation! Wednesday - Squat Day (should have been bench day really, but I knew I would be struggling to get to the gym for the rest of the week so wanted a decent session to recover from. Bench is never decent :lol: 15 min run to warm up - felt really good - like I could have run all night. Shows was a bit of decent sleep can do. Warm-up's with bar (lots) then: 30 kg: 5 40 kg: 5 45 kg: 5 x 5 felt like nothing tonight. I was so tempted to put more weight on but made myself behave for once and stick to the cycle. Front Squats 20 kg: 3, 3 30 kg: 3, 3 40 kg: 3, 3, 3 Lots of weighted core work | ||

MIA Member 7, 621 posts SQ 80, BP 45, DL 125250.0 kgs @ 55kgs UnEq | Ok, so I may have been a reet fecking dosser over the last couple of weeks. Too much cycling as always and not enough weights, although I did manage a half decent squat session yesterday. I have the big ride of the year coming up this weekend - Helvellyn, twice. (from which I may never return, so it was nice knowing you all if I don't survive it) Oh yeah, and the weight has fallen back off again - back to just over 52 kg in the morning.I'll just write up yesterday's squats cos, well, they wern't half bad considering the weight loss this week. Just a kg off bodyweight usually takes f**kloads off my total on squats. Warm up run - 20 mins Squats Empty light bar - loads to warm up my hip which has been a little stiff lately 20 kg: 8, 8 30 kg: 5 40 kg: 5 45 kg: 5 50 kg: 5 55 kg: 5 60 kg: 3 65 kg: 3 See, I can do volume! Also did a bit of benching and core work. Because cycling (as in, on the bike, not as in weights!) keeps messing up my routines so much I have a new plan. Lift heavy every session I manage to make it to the gym. Starting from next week. Honest | ||
