If anyone ever lets me know details I'll try and get over. If not I'll just continue training for the zombie holocaust. Lol There isn't but it's a good idea, don't you think? | ||

I think it would make a great spectacle and would push many to pass what they usually do in training. Nothing quite so funny as watching fat blokes in lycra sweating cobs whilst bent over a bucket spewing their rops up. I've heard it mentioned at a few gyms as a Xmas do. I'll get to as many as I can do. I think any DB or similar are great for people who have never tried them, to get over confident and struggle like f**k. At this stage I refer you to my point above.  | ||

 Hasn't always been a bench press specialist Member 44, 1907 posts SQ 252.5, BP 220, DL 210682.5 kgs @ 83kgs Eq | little_a said: Thanks Aaron. Are you just doing 1 particular weight and rep direction? May need mixing up a bit mate. Can you pass 16 with 55k? I went up to 70kg and got 14 rounds I think last week I dropped it to 60kg thinking I would blitz past my pb of 16 but it didnt happen, Ive kind of hit a wall with it because I have been doing it 2-3 times a week. I need to be doing something else for a bit. Having said that DBDL has definately made me fitter, I did a 2 mile run the other week and wasn't out of breath. | ||

I don't think you have hit a wall mate if you are doing it 2-3 times a week. You have just got a bit stale. Why not try 2 sessions all upper body and no back/ legs then give it a go again. Also, do it first. If you still struggle have another leg/ back break then try 60k 20 reps down to one. If you want to do this stuff 2-3 times a week then consider going 1 to 10 then back down again. It doesn't quite screw with you the same as either of the 20 rep variations. | ||

still a devious weightlifting bastard Member 43, 14374 posts | The recovery continues. Bag 3 mins on 30 secs rest x 8 Getting plenty packed into the 3 minute rounds now which is nice. Breathing good. More there again but struggled getting my hands to head height in round 8 so stopped there. First day for 10 days back on the commute tomorrow. Tyres pumped up, lights charged, helmet polished, forecast = rain. Yay. | ||

still a devious weightlifting bastard Member 43, 14374 posts | Yesterday Commute in/ home 20 mile - rusty, it's dark in the morning now and it's all a bit of a rush Today Commute in/ home 20 mile - bit better, it was dark on the way home tonight, but set the alarm 15 minutes early so the morning included a more leisurely fasted dog walk and a comfy coffee with cream. Sometimes it's nice to have the company of an old friend - Clean 60x3 90x2 110x1 120x1 130x1 140x1 DL 130x3 160x3 190x3 Press 60x3x5 shoulders a bit clunky so did these very slow up and down. Pretty much recovered from last week now I think. That's good. | ||

still a devious weightlifting bastard Member 43, 14374 posts | Bag session 3 mins on 30 secs off x 12 rounds. I could fight for a world title now as long as the champ didn't move or hit me back. I still fancy getting this to 15 rounds a couple of times then I need to break it up a bit. | ||

still a devious weightlifting bastard Member 43, 14374 posts | 0545 Birchwood Forest Park. During my daily morning fasted dog walk I had my daily fasted encounter with the miserable looking sod hunched over slowly plodding to work. Every weekday for the last 7 months I've given him a fasted yet cheery "Morning" to a silent response. Nowadays even my dogs ignore him, but I persist. Today my sistence paid off. "Morning" in my fasted cheeriest voice. 'Urrgh. Morning' His voice didn't sound like I expected it would. It wasn't miserable or grufty, but like a slightly deeper Joe Pasquale, but that doesn't matter. His voice is only the vehicle for the message, and the message was heard. Today is a good day. | ||
