Doesn't like tall people very much. Member 5708, 391 posts SQ 260, BP 195, DL 275 730.0 kgs @ 137.5kgs UnEq	Right, my last journal didn't come to much for a variety of reasons, namely injury followed by the closure of my gym. Things are still up in the air as to whether a new gym will be opened by one of the guys I used to train with. For now I'm training in my garage. I know a lot of guys of here train in a similar way so any advice of what has been effective for you with limited kit it is all very much appreciated. I'm hoping a new journal will inspire me to train well by myself. My strength had fallen off lately so I need to run back up the hill. To re-cap: Age: 23 Height: 6'5"-6'6". (Depends how bad my lordosis gets) Weight: around 140kg mostly Bench: 160 paused Squat: 260 w/wraps Deadlift: 250 raw

Member 5708, 391 posts SQ 260, BP 195, DL 275 730.0 kgs @ 137.5kgs UnEq	16-7-15 Front squat Bar 50 x 5 80 x 5 90 x 5 100 x 5 120 140 PB New to these, I'm sure I've only done 100kg before, wrist flexibility is the main issue. Paused squat 140 x 3. 3 sets. Quick session today, severely lacking motivation at the moment.

Member 5708, 391 posts SQ 260, BP 195, DL 275 730.0 kgs @ 137.5kgs UnEq	I couldn't agree more mate haha. 22/7/15 Deadlift Warm up 170 x 5 180 x 5 192.5 x 5 Out of practice and not great, but managed them. Front squat 70 x 10. 5 sets. Each rep as solid as the last but they killed me still. I'm new to front squats but quickly appreciating their value. Barbell row 80 x 6. 5 sets. Barbell curls 40 x 12. 3 sets.

Doesn't like tall people very much. Member 5708, 391 posts SQ 260, BP 195, DL 275 730.0 kgs @ 137.5kgs UnEq	25/7/15 Squat Warm up 150 x 5 160 x 5 170 x 5 Felt awful. Feel like I have no leg power. A few months ago this would've felt easy. Started on sets of 10 lighter but my back gave out so I called it a day. Need to see the osteopath. Let's hope for something positive next week.

Doesn't like tall people very much. Member 5708, 391 posts SQ 260, BP 195, DL 275 730.0 kgs @ 137.5kgs UnEq	10-8-15 Well every new burst of enthusiasm is normally met with a stumbling block. My back has been out of action for a few weeks, I've been to the specialist and had a few appointments to try and realign my pelvis. Four weeks until my first strongman comp and it doesn't look good, I'll still take part just to get a feel for the experience. Squat Went to 140 and stopped, back isn't ready for this yet Strict press 60 x 8 72.5 x 3 77.5 x 3 80 x 5 50 x 10. 3 sets. Close grip bench press. 80 x 10 85 x 8 90 x 5 100 x 10 Front squat 80 x 5 90 x 5 100 x 5 Dumbbell press 32 x 6. 3 sets. Stretching and foam rolling the quads and hips. Done. Feel better mentally after doing my something for the first time in a while. Slow and steady progress to be made from now on. Try to build some sort of shape for the BDFPA full power early next year.

I've decided to try and get into doing pull ups, back when I was lighter I could knock them out quite well. I'd be lucky with 2 nowadays. Assisted pull ups (training partner supporting my shins when needed) X 10. Felt quite reliant on him though. Negative pull ups 2 x 3 All done wide grip. Barbell row. 80 x 10. 5 sets. Close grip pull down 3 x 10 Face pulls. 5 x 10 Cable curls 3 x 12

Member 5708, 391 posts SQ 260, BP 195, DL 275 730.0 kgs @ 137.5kgs UnEq	13-8-15 Bench Press 70 x 10 90 x 5 110 x 3 120 x 3 130 x 3 140 x 3 150 x 1 162.5 x 1 PB Pleased with this, haven't benched in a while, I think the addition of more overhead pressing has made the difference. I didn't have a front shoulder before hand. Close grip bench 110 x 6. 5 sets. Paused first and last. Strict Press 50 x 10. 3 sets. Tricep 100 rep challenge. A bit of fun, hell of a pump from it but not a whole lot of weight to speak of. Various pushdowns basically. Done. Happy with today. I think 180 is a very real possibility on the bench this year with this 162.5 off the back of very little training.

Still, I'm happy with that pull, most I've done in a while and it felt comfortable. Front squatting has definitely helped. Barbell rows 100 x 8. 5 sets. Wide grip pull downs 5 x 8 Low cable row 5 x 8 Face pulls 3 x 10 Done, thumb hurts.
