If I'm consistent I'm pretty sure I can hit at least a few of them. Are you training these days? I mean, do you even lift, bro? | ||

no longer the Swiss Deadlift record holder Member 3517, 3368 posts SQ 182.5, BP 122.5, DL 255560.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | Deadlifts for SPOLA * Regular bar DOH 180x1, 190x0 190 was close. I'd like to get to 200 at some point. * Regular bar mixed grip 230x1, 250x0 Failed 250 below the knees. 230 wasn't too hard, and consistent with recent reppage. *Axle DOH 125x1, 135x0, 130x0 125 is a 10kg PB, strangely. 115 probably wasn't a true test. * Also did a bit of rowing, including a couple of peak power tests (10 seconds at max speed, full strokes). Managed to hit 955W (=1:11.6/500m). Feels weird to sprint with full strokes. | ||

Am doing judo and sambo wrestling (and a bit of boxing) 3-4 days a week. Really enjoying it and looking to compete nearer the end of the year. Cool. Looks like a good balance. | ||

no longer the Swiss Deadlift record holder Member 3517, 3368 posts SQ 182.5, BP 122.5, DL 255560.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | Well, I'm back from holidays. Not sure if I can say I'm rested, but I didn't do much training, that's for sure. Activities centred mostly around the kids (including their illnesses  ). I managed one short xc ski outing, and one short sandbag/log session.Today it was back to the gym for a weakass pressing workout. Press 50x5, 57.5x5, 65x6 HSPU 5x3 Lat raises 7.5kg 5x10 push-ups x15, 25 | ||

no longer the Swiss Deadlift record holder Member 3517, 3368 posts SQ 182.5, BP 122.5, DL 255560.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | DL ... 137.5x5 157.5x5 177.5x10 Should have done 135, 155, 175 but I forgot to update my spreadsheet with the 230x1 from the other day. No matter. Glute-ham raises 4x3 These sucked. Wasn't set up properly I think (knees too far forward on the pad), it killed my quads like a bad foam roller massage. I hope they're not as painful next time, I was kinda looking forward to doing these regularly.  I must say the foam on the pad and the rollers is ridiculously soft. Don't buy GHD's from Crossgym, and don't buy their flat bench either, it's too short (I can barely fit on it) and the foam is the same soft crap as on the GHD. Idiots. KB swings 32kgx20 24+24x10 28+28x10 Not a huge fan of double swings, but I wanted something heavier than 32kg 32x30 32 right arm x20, straight into left arm x20 | ||

no longer the Swiss Deadlift record holder Member 3517, 3368 posts SQ 182.5, BP 122.5, DL 255560.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | Video of Friday's 30kg pull-ups. Not exactly an entertaining watch, even though I cut out most of the rest periods. According to the tape, it took me 6 minutes or thereabouts to complete the 16 sodding reps. On Sunday I only had time for a bit of log. Worked up to 80kgx1, 90x1 (2-ply sleeves; let the bruising begin!), then 1 clean and 5 strict presses at 70kg, and 1 cl + 8 strict press at 60kg. Better than no training at all, I guess. | ||

no longer the Swiss Deadlift record holder Member 3517, 3368 posts SQ 182.5, BP 122.5, DL 255560.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | Today: * Squats ... 95x5 110x5 122.5x10 Stopped when I felt my form was starting to break down. * Zercher squat 100 5x3 (every minute on the minute) * Pistol squats 2 sets of 10, alternating legs (so 5 each leg per set) *Squat jumps, max height to failure (up to a ceiling beam, stopped when I missed it which turned out to be after 6-8 reps) x 3 sets Nothing extremely challenging, but an enjoyable session. | ||
