SuperSteel101's Training Log

Cheers pal!

A very challenging session this afternoon, I simply wasn't feeling strong enough today to do the reps I wanted so cut the main set of bench press short at 6.

Bench Press
1 x 10 20 kgs
1 x 8 60 kgs
1 x 5 80 kgs
1 x 5 100 kgs
1 x 1 135 kgs
1 x 6 122.5 kgs
1 x 6 105 kgs

Military Press 3 x 8 65 kgs
Pull Ups 3 x 10 BW + 22 kgs

The original plan was to take a slight increase on the set of 8 from last week but my shoulders just weren't playing ball today. I bumped the weight up on the other exercises also, the military press felt fine but not as easy as usual. The pull ups saved this session overall as they felt very strong and easy. I sacked off the dips at the end as I didn't think they would do my already sore shoulders much good.

One of those days really, bit of rest and on to the next one!

Heal up man. Looks like a pretty solid session anyway so you'll get a training effect and progress from it no doubt.
With some quality rest and food, I'm more than sure you'll nail it next week.

For a light day, that's pretty heavy there! What's up with your shoulder mate?

Cheers dude. You are absolutely right I should still get a training effect from those weights, I didn't feel confident on not failing rep 7 or 8 so I cut it short to avoid the CNS sapping effects of a failure lol. Can't win em all



Unfortunately it wasn't planned as a light day, the set of 6 with 122.5 felt very hard today. Shoulders are tight and sore, but I don't think a serious injury (damn you bedroom cardio haha ). Ovi one of the problems with benching with a max width grip is that it is quite shoulder intensive and if they are fatigued you are scuppered. Ultimately I just wasn't strong enough on this particular day, need to make up for it next time lol.

Yeah, know what you mean about the wider grip being shoulder intensive. I did a single with your set of 6 tonight and the shoulders were already tired by then. Never damn the bedroom cardio mate - just use a different form the day before / of benching

Bedroom cardio make for big lift RRRRR!!!
I notice that on the weekends Steph is over, I always have a good Tuesday session. Bedroom cardio makes for the best active recovery. Fact.

I always find i am weak as piss after it when shes on the sauce for that week i am strong as an ox!!

My wee lady usually goes home on the Sunday night and byt the time Tuesday comes around I'm good to go haha.
You must store up your testosterone on rag week haha.

HAHA yes it is! I think i need to put a bit more effort in if im going to beat you though!!!

Come join in allen it will be fun

The bedroom cardio can indeed take it out of you, I think I may have overindulged lately haha



I shall leave it to you guys mate, my immediate goal is not quite as lofty lol.

A nice and easy deadlift session today, I left the belt at home but it didn't matter at these weights as everything still felt very explosive.

Deadlift

1 x 5 70 kgs
1 x 3 120 kgs
1 x 3 165 kgs
1 x 3 185 kgs
1 x 3 210 kgs
3 x 3 150 kgs

RDL's 3 x 10
Assorted ab work x not sure what or how much lol

There was a good big crew in deadlifting today and a good atmosphere for lifting in. I have decided to mix things up a bit on the assistance excercises on lower body days, it was the first time I have ever done RDL's, I did them nice and strict and felt them loads in my hamstrings which was good.

The only downside from today is that my shoulders are still sore, I will see how they are doing for benching on Monday but it is very possible I am going to have to drop the weights back a bit for a while, we shall see.

*Edit: sugden and/or comp gone mental!

You had a good explosive session in there today man. The atmosphere was fantastic right enough.
Good on you for doing the plank and all that ab work. I'm sure it'll work very well in your favour.
Good sesh dude
