Terminator | Week 2 Monday Session | 20-06-2011 @ 12:08 | |
jerking is obviously great, Member 2521, 4712 posts SQ 235, BP 160, DL 290685.0 kgs @ 111kgs UnEq | Have a job interview tomorrow, so trained today instead: Bench: bar x 20 50kg x 8 60 kg x 5 72.5 kg x 5 82.5 kg x 5 97.5 kg x 5 tried a 6th and failed Squat: had to wait ages for the rack because some girl was doing 25 kg barbell rows and screaming bar x 10 60 kg x 5 72.5 kg x 5 87.5 kg x 5 100 kg x 5 115 kg x 5 Fired off 3 quickly, short break before 4th and 5 th reps, EASY! Pendlay row: bar x 5 40 kg x 5 45 kg x 5 55 kg x 5 62.5 kg x 5 72.5 kg x 5 EASY! Wide grip pull ups: Didn't do these on the cage today, but went to the main pull up area. I used the thing thats like a lat pull down bar, but fixed. I used the closest possible grip, something like 50-60cm apart i'd say. BW x 6,6,5 Much harder than expected. Especially after I saw a 100 kg guy do it with 2 x 10 kg plates for 8 reps. Seated hammer curls (up to 18 kg) | ||

jerking is obviously great, Member 2521, 4712 posts SQ 235, BP 160, DL 290685.0 kgs @ 111kgs UnEq | Did things a little differently today, I took my pussy gloves and trainers off for the compounds. Overhead Press: I'm in a new gym for a week and the cage is marginally too short to allow me to overhead press without the bar hitting the top on lockout. I took my shoes off and it was OK. bar x 10 40 kg x 5 50 kg x 5 57.5 kg x 5 65 kg x 5 All reps paused. Tried a 6th rep, failed, so did a 6th as a push press 40 kg x 10 back off set to improve the neuromuscluar connections I used a narrower grip today as recommended by the helpful guys on here- much easier, more tricep less shoulder i'd say Recovery squats: bar x 8 60 kg x 5 87.5 kg x 5 87.5 kg x 5 Deadlifts: 60 kg x 6 100 kg x 5 120 kg x 4 140 kg x 5, grip failure and i noticed a callus had broken on my left hand. I put a glove on left hand, and pulled two more reps. Grip failed again, waited 30 secs and did 1 more rep DB seated shoulder presses (gloves back on): 10 kg x 10 18 kg x 5 32 kg x 8 32 kg x 6 32 kg x 5 Dissapointing, it ws 0.5 kg in each hand less than last week, and for 1 less rep on each set. Will drop the weight to 30 kg next time. Perpendicular pull ups: BW + 10 kg x 10 BW + 10 kg x 8 BW + 10 kg x 7 Tricep dips: BW + 20 kg x 4 reps, then my pec started hurting so i stopped BW x 3 reps, pec still hurts weird so i left it Hammer curls: 18 kg x 7 each arm 1 set, seated | ||

jerking is obviously great, Member 2521, 4712 posts SQ 235, BP 160, DL 290685.0 kgs @ 111kgs UnEq | Had a close one today, I don't actually pay for the gym I use in Slough (because I used to work for the same company a year ago) and I think i got rumbled at the door... going to have to be careful next time... Bench: 50 kg x 7 60 kg x 5 72.5 kg x 5 85 kg x 5 100 kg x 3 - My spotter kept tapping the bar just before I locked out, but I had it easily 72.5 kg x 16 (Failure) Squat: 57.5 kg x 5 72.5 kg x 5 87.5 kg x 5 100 kg x 5 117.5 kg x 3 Fired these off quickly not too bad 87.5 kg x 15 reps! I wanted to see if I could hit 20, reckon i could have reached 17/18 if i was going hell for leather. Pendlay Row: 37.5 kg x 5 45 kg x 5 55 kg x 5 62.5 kg x 5 75 kg x 3 55 kg x 8 No worries, got all these done in 55 mins too which was pretty rapid Wanted to work on my shoulder imbalance (left side a far bit weaker than right at PR attemps) so did some standing DB work: 12 kg DB both arms x 8 Left hand side: 28 kg x 5, 30 kg x 5, 32 kg x 5, 34 kg x 5 (push press), 36 kg x 1 (push press) Right hand side: 28 kg x 5, 30 kg x 5, 34 kg x 5 (push press), 36 kg x 5 (push press) Both arms at once: 20 kg x 10 Dissapointing i could only manage one rep on LHS and 5 on RHS Wide grip pull ups: BW: 7,7,6 Dips: (doesn't hurt to do this anymore) bw x 6 +20 kg x 9 +20 kg x 7 +20 kg x 5 | ||

as crimson as my last victims underclothing..... Member 899, 11324 posts SQ 180, BP 132.5, DL 190502.5 kgs @ 118kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 24.06.2011 @ 15:44 PM by Wiegieboard Sessions are looking nice and volumous. Had a wee giggle about the lassie doing the upright rows and screaming off a squat rack! I look forward to the day my upright row is stronger than my deadlift (might not be that fart away lol) and then I can use the squat rack too haha. How did your job interview go? P.S. TOP RESPECT for the high rep work on your squats. High rep squats are badass! | ||

jerking is obviously great, Member 2521, 4712 posts SQ 235, BP 160, DL 290685.0 kgs @ 111kgs UnEq | haha upright row stronger than deadlift? I'm just trying to get my row roughly equal to my bench. Interview went OK, but there were 20 of us for only 4 or 5 jobs! (I didn't mention my lifting lol) Will find out by next weekend how i did.. | ||

Yeah I was thinking that, I might do more of a pyramid technique though (30 kg, 32.5 kg, 35 kg) | ||

jerking is obviously great, Member 2521, 4712 posts SQ 235, BP 160, DL 290685.0 kgs @ 111kgs UnEq | Back at uni gym Weigh in: 94.5 kg pre-workout, 95 kg post workout Was sweating like a pig today, it was actually ridiculous training in the heat Bench Press: 50 kg x 8 62.5 kg x 5 75 kg x 5 87.5 kg x 5 100 kg x 5 = PB Was quite pleased to equal my old PB, rep 4 was difficult, took a 2 second break and went into rep 5, was epically hard to finish my spotter screamed at me to finish it Squats (High bar ATG without belt as per usual): 60 kg x 5 72.5 kg x 5 87.5 kg x 5 102.5 kg x 5 117.5 kg x 5 + went for a 6th and failed Did 2 reps quickly took few seconds break between next reps, rep 5 wasn't as bad as i thought it would be, so went for rep 6 and failed that. Pendlay Rows: 37.5 kg x 5 47.5 kg x 5 57.5 kg x 5 65 kg x 5 75 kg x 10 I did 5 had plenty of energy left so i did 10 with pauses between. Will post a video if this soon. DB bench Press: Felt like doing this to iron out some strength differences between my arms. Also I would like to bench the 50 kg DB's before I graduate next summer. 30 kg x 10 35 kg x 8 I find these really wobbly and awkward, its more the balance than the weight that stops me. Dips: +25 kg x 7 +25 kg x 5 BW x 12 Wide grip pull ups: BW x 9,8,7 Preacher curls to finish on 15 kg DB's | ||
