Cheers guys! Happy Haha think it must be something to do with guardians. Im gonna need to channel it tommorow if my kettlebell session is going to materialize. Expected hangover may result in spewing my gizzard!

Nick, thinking about going for 250kgs x 3 next week and then depending on how it goes possibly 260kgs x 3. If the 250kgs sets a grinder ill drop back to singles and maybe start from 260kgs and go from there. In no rush to max as i know im due a PB.

Only benched today after picking up a drunken injury at the weekend and hurting my knee Roll-Eyes . Nothing too serious so hopefully be alright to deadlift tommorow.

110kgs x 1 (paused)
120kgs x 1 (paused)
125kgs x F(paused)
100kgs x 3 (paused)
100kgs x 3 (paused)

Military Press
40kgs x 10
50kgs x 5
60kgs x 5 (Push Press)
60kgs x 5 (Strict - felt easier than 1st set)

70kgs x 3 (Push Press)
40kgs x 10

Pullups

Quite pleased with todays session although i need to concentrate more on taking the bar down. I took the 120kgs down very slowly and made it harder than it should have been and then tried to bring the bar down far too quickly for 125kgs sunk it into my chest lost all tightness and arch and couldnt get it off my chest.

Haha im not exactly sure to be honest Confused I only realised when i was going to bed and saw id cut it. Its quite sore when im put any weight forward on it but it feels alot better than yesterday. Vaguely remember decking it on sauchiehall street but cant be sure.

Im pretty sure i could have gotten the 125kgs touch and go as ive done 125kgs and 130kgs before. Dont think the 125kgs paused is a mile off. Been a while since ive done much so going to start incorporating a bit more paused stuff over the next few weeks.

Dont know why but i wasnt feeling very confident about getting this today. Partially because of my knee and my upper back being a little sore and because i didnt get a great sleep. However, dont think this affected me very much and got what i came in for.

Deadlifts
Bar and Hyperextensions to warm up a bit
70kgs x 5
120kgs x 5
120kgs x 3
170kgs x 3
200kgs x 2
225kgs x 1
250kgs x 3 - rep PB Woohoo!! Grin

Very very happy with todays session. Got 3 reps with my old max PB. Thats going to be the last weight i do triples with for a while now and im going to start with singles next time i deadlift. The grip started to go a little on the third rep so this may be soemething i need to train a little if im going to pull big numbers. Ill get the video up in a bit.

Cheers guys! Happy Im pretty confident ill be close to the 600lb mark for a single but until i give it a go who knows! 290kgs would be awesome but think itll take me a little while longer to get up to that kind of weight.

Was in two minds whether to do some kettlebell stuff today but i got bored watching TV so thought stuff it.

Kettlebell
Warm Up - Pumps, Bodyweight squats, kettlebell deadlifts

20kgs Turkish get ups
1 per side alternating between arms - 10 reps in total

20kgs Kettlebell Complex
15 x Right arm swings
15 x Left arm swings
15 x Double Handed Swings
15 x Squats (5 with kettlebell then 10 with BW)

3 sets x 60 total reps

20kgs Kettlebell Alternate arm swings
20 total reps

20kgs Kettlebell Squats
20 total reps

Sweating like a b**ch and gonna do some foam rolling before i go for a shower. Glad i did it as i feel alot better for. Tried bracing more on the swing but still finding my back pumping up after a couple of sets. The get ups were hard on my left hand side in particular but enjoyed doing them. There something id like to get good up.

You have the gizzard of a true guardian to that lot without spewing (or yarping up a pellet at least)!
As soon as I have access to hot water again, I shall be doing more home KB stuff.
(Can't see a 20kg get up happening any time soon though). Unhappy

Haha i didnt end up doing any kettlebelling over the weekend as the hangovers/drunken injuries were too painful. I quite like the get ups. Need to try the reverse part though (get downs?? Confused ). Seen boar do it and looks harder than gettting up.

Meant to say does the fourth book in the series follow on quite well from the films? Or would you recommend starting at the beggining. Might look into it once ive finished Trainspotting.

Also why is it you need the hot water before you can get back to it? Shower? Confused

You can get the box set of the first 4 books off Amazon really cheap and all worth reading. Saying that I haven't started book 4 yet, because I don't want to finish it Unhappy
The film sort of mixes bits and cuts lots out, so although similar, the books are also quite different, if that makes any sense?
My boiler's f**ked, so I have no hot water at home whatsoever.
So... With your get ups, you get up with the KB and then lie back down without the KB to re-set for the next one?
I think a video might be in order.
