crushed the generals chance of 6th place Member 588, 5477 posts SQ 200, BP 100, DL 200500.0 kgs @ 84kgs UnEq | Cardio : 5 a sides with old men. Was blowing out my arse after the first 20 minutes. Major wake up call. 30 minute light jog afterwards. Thoughts: Definately need more cardio my belly is now at an unacceptable level and my fitness is piss poor. | ||

crushed the generals chance of 6th place Member 588, 5477 posts SQ 200, BP 100, DL 200500.0 kgs @ 84kgs UnEq | Bench : 20kg x? 45kg x10 70kg x6 95kg - 3x6 BW Pullups : 5x5 OH Press : 20kg x10 40kg x10 55kg x9 55kg x6 55kg x6 Dips : BW x10, x10, x10, x8, x9, x3 Followed by : Cardio : 2 Hours Badminton Singles. Comments : Session was okay. The 70kg x6 bench felt hard so knew it wasn't going to go well. Hit the target weight reps and sets without too much of a struggle. Pullups felt easier than normal. Would have liked 55kg x10 on the overhead press but 9 will do and the dips good finisher. | ||

crushed the generals chance of 6th place Member 588, 5477 posts SQ 200, BP 100, DL 200500.0 kgs @ 84kgs UnEq | Yesterdays training 25/09/09 Deadlift : 20kg x10 70kg x8 110kg x5 155kg - 3x6 DB Rows : Right 35kg x16 Left 35kg x15 Inverse Row : 5x5 Drag Curl : 10kg x18, x15, x14 Comments : Deadlifts where a bit of a struggle by the last reps on the last set but got them done. Didn't feel particularly strong at all. DB Rows are no ideal as there are olympic dumbell handles loaded up and are just annoying. Inverse rows where a nice change and the drag curls done for the mate who I was training with that wanted to train his biceps. Overall friday sessions seem to be a carry on, might have to find myself a gym or somewhere else to train on a friday in order to get me motivated and up for it | ||

crushed the generals chance of 6th place Member 588, 5477 posts SQ 200, BP 100, DL 200500.0 kgs @ 84kgs UnEq | 01/10/09 JW Cycle 1 Week 1 Bench : 20kg x ? 47.5kg x10 65% x 5 : 65kg x 5 75% x 5 : 75kg x 5 85% x 5+ : 85kg x 12 75kg x10 75kg x10 70kg x7 70kg x9 70kg x9 OH Press : 20kg x10 45kg x8 45kg x8 40kg x7 40kg x8 40kg x8 BW Dips : 10, 9, 8, 7, 5 Comments : Benching was good. Happy with the 12 reps, wee brother thinks it was 13 but I counted 12 so going with that. The sets after that felt okay strength wise but took less rest than usual and was struggling with lactic acid build up so dropped the weight a bit. In future I will swap the OH press with the second lot of benching wasn't really thinking as I was doing it. Dips where a good finisher. | ||

crushed the generals chance of 6th place Member 588, 5477 posts SQ 200, BP 100, DL 200500.0 kgs @ 84kgs UnEq | JW 5/3/1 - Week 2 Press Training : Bench : 20kg x35 50kg x10 70% x 3 : 70kg x 3 80% x 3 : 80kg x 3 90% x 3+ : 90kg x 12 Video of 90kg x 12 : OH Press (Strict) : 20kg x10 35kg x10 55kg x7 55kg x6 55kg x6 55kg x5 55kg x5 Bench : 70kg x10 70kg x10 70kg x10 70kg x9 70kg x9 Buried myself on the 10th rep haha Dips (BW) : 10, 8, 9, 10, 7 HIIT : Went up to local primary school football pitch (smaller than full sized) and sprinted 18 yard box to 18 yard box then walk along 18 yard box and sprint to next 18 yard box. Done 10 laps in just under 7 minutes. Comments : Didn't count how many reps I was doing on the bench until on the video. Not sure if this helped or not as I didnt have a target amount of reps I was just going till I couldnt do anymore. Anyway hit 12 reps which is what I managed with 85kg last week so pleased with that. OH Pressing is pretty poor but need to stick at it. Triceps tired by second set of benching and then again for dips. Good session though. Enjoyed the HIIT. Will make it harder next time. | ||

crushed the generals chance of 6th place Member 588, 5477 posts SQ 200, BP 100, DL 200500.0 kgs @ 84kgs UnEq | Deadlift Training : Deadlift : 20kg x10, 60kg x6, 100kg x5 70% x 3 : 127.5kg x 3 80% x 3 : 145kg x3 90% x 3+ : 162.5kg x 6 Pullups : BW - 5x6 DB Rows : 22.5kg x10 40kg - 2x10 Finished off with some hyper extensions and different stretches to really stretch out the lower back and hamstrings. Training at the uni gym today. Deadlifts felt strong enough but only managed 6 on the last set. Was using a thicker bar than normal as about 32-33mm so could be that. Was hoping for 7 or 8 reps but I'm not that disappointed. | ||

crushed the generals chance of 6th place Member 588, 5477 posts SQ 200, BP 100, DL 200500.0 kgs @ 84kgs UnEq | Squat Training : Squat : 20kg x 5 60kg x 5 (Parallel box) 60kg x 5 (Parallel box) 60kg x 5 100kg - 5x5 (Parallel box) Paused (Bottom) Squats : 100kg x1 , 100kg x1, 100kg x1 Squats : 100kg x1 120kg x1 140kg x1 140kg x1 Hanging Leg Raise : BW - 5x10 Ab Rollouts (Knees) : 4x7 Stretches Comments - Dropped the targets for squats to work on form. Really opened my legs out and found that I could squat onto a parallel box without rounding my lower back. Done alot of reps really focusing on the technique onto the box and then took it away and maintained the same arch. Finished squats with some heavy singles, nowhere near a max but really tried to hammer in the new form. Abwork went well. | ||

crushed the generals chance of 6th place Member 588, 5477 posts SQ 200, BP 100, DL 200500.0 kgs @ 84kgs UnEq | 14/10/09 - Bench Training Bench : warmup 75kg x 5 85kg x 5 100kg x 7 60kg + ~10kg chains each side : 5x10 Dips : BW 5x10 Comments : Happy with the 100kg for 7. Put the chains on for a bit of variety. Skipped OH press as was push pressing yesterday. Dips went well but maybe because I skipped the OH press. | ||

crushed the generals chance of 6th place Member 588, 5477 posts SQ 200, BP 100, DL 200500.0 kgs @ 84kgs UnEq | 19th October - Training @ the garage Box Squat (~parallel) :
Squat : 80kg - 5x5 Push Press :
20KG KB C+P :
Done 20 x right, 20 x left, 20 x right, 20 x left etc. with rest in between each arm. Hanging Leg Raise : BW - 4x10 Comments : Trying to fix my squat technique so done lots of tech work with the box then done a few sets without the box. Just about making parallel with no rounding so just need to gradually work on the flexibility. Went well. First time doing push press really (Thanks Ken!) so was happy with that need to focus on the leg drive. Wrists where hurting a little and had a wee shoulder niggle but happy with what I managed. Kettlebell work was good to get the heart rate up and improve endurance. Ab work went okay. | ||

crushed the generals chance of 6th place Member 588, 5477 posts SQ 200, BP 100, DL 200500.0 kgs @ 84kgs UnEq | 22nd October - Training @ Unit 20 Bench :
Front Squats :
Load to 51" :
Comments : Got my hands on my nice Texas Power Bar. Thanks Brian! I think thats the main thing we can take away from this session. Bench felt strong, after an easy 100kg x6 went for a PB. Nailed 120 then tried 125kg and got that too. Doubt there was much left there. Dropped to 120 and tried to change my tech a wee bit for a double but failed number 2. Came away with a 10KG bench pb anyway. Couldn't get the fronties right but they felt a bit better using the clean grip even though my flexibility in arms was lacking. Stones where good fun, first time trying them. Happy with the loading the 100kg keg and stone. | ||
