Thought id start up a journal to help spur me along, and to also get advice about strucuring a more strength orientated / strongman routine.
Just joined here really and just started training with strength more in mind.

Im planning on training 4 x week, basing a day for:-
Bench+assistances
Squat+assistances
OHP+assistances
Dead+assistances

Not sure about reps really or how often i should try out 1RM's

Sat 30th

Strict Press

9x40kg
5x45kgx2
5x50kg

Push Press

3x60kg
6x60kg
3x65kg + 4th F
2x70kg
F x 75kg (attempted twice)


Deads

8x60kg
5x100kg
3x160kg
1x190
1x220
belt on
1x230
10x115kgx2

4 months since i deadlifted properly, the 230kg was a joke hitched to buggery grip ok, but my (soft type) belt isnt tight enough since ive lost about 4kg.

wide Grip Pull ups

7xBW
8xBW
6xBW
5xBW


Dips

10xBW
9xBW

Any help structuring a routine would be great.

Cheers

Rodge

Hi mate, no sometimes even when not training, a lot of it is sometimes because im not being active enough. Its not all training related. I can wake up and whole body feels like ive been run over lol.

On a better note, Squats tonight should be good Happy

Royally f*cked up outside of my left elbow. Woke this morning and cant grip anything with it.
Its obviously elbow tendonitus/tennis elbow as ive had it before.

Really pissed off and has made me forget about my other shoulder/back issues to be homest. found some NSAIDS in my bag and must try some cissus and glucosamine as thiese have helped me int he past.

think its either down to me trying to master power clean technique with too heavier weight or curling with oly bar instaed of EZ bar, in any way i feel like a right c*nt

Certainly no overhead work tonight now
