 Member 2435, 1013 posts SQ 205, BP 145, DL 222.5572.5 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq | Shame about your spotter man..I have come to realise that a decent partner (spotter) is so important when you are at your limits, they should just know when to let you fight the bar. Do you have a steady training partner bud?  | ||

 jerking is obviously great, Member 2521, 4713 posts SQ 235, BP 160, DL 290685.0 kgs @ 111kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 13.07.2011 @ 15:07 PM by Terminator At uni I don't have a fixed training partner, but its a friendly atmosphere so there's (normally) someone i've spoken to before who can spot me properly.when i'm home i have a training partner half the time, but he's not that experienced lol I think someone needs to invent a set of cables that dangle from the ceiling to the bar on bench press. when it detects the bar moving downwards, it takes the tension | ||

Clean and Push press because i felt like it: 70 kg x 1 (PB) Squats: 62.5 kg x 5 80 kg x 5 92.5 kg x 5 92.5 kg x 5 Deadlifts: 60 kg x 5 100 kg x 5 135 kg x 4 165 kg x 7 PB http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xeqP1Q789VU 180 kg x 1 PB 190 kg x 1 PB Was pleased with the workset and even more pleased with my easy pull on 180. 190 went up pretty easily too, I feel confident in saying that 200 is there, but I would have had to wait ages for plates to be free so left it for another day! DB shoulder press: 30 kg x 10/10/9 Perpendicular pull ups: BW x 15/14/10 or something Good session! | ||

One arm DB push press: RHS: 48 kg x 1 (PB) LHS: 48 kg x Fail Twice After seeing Big Loz do a 118 kg DB on Sunday, I could hardly be allowed to fail this puny weight! Dips: BW + 30 kg x 7 BW + 20 kg x 8 BW + 20 kg x 7 Wide grip pull ups: BW x 9 BW x 6 Wasn't feeling these today and the equipment was awkward so stopped it there Seated hammer curls: 18 kg x 8 16 kg x 8 Barbell curl: 45 kg x 6 35 kg x 8 Not a bad session, feeling stronger than I ever have in my life at the moment. Got home and my parents gave me a lecture about how overweight i am and that i'm going to get diabetes from all my over eating. Am going to see a doctor next week to apppease the parents, but I reckon he's going to say I need to lose weight.. EDIT: LOL at which ever mod changed my profile picture, I quite like it | ||

Rep 4 was a grinder, no way i could do rep 5- still a PB though. Squats: 62.5 kg x 5 77.5 kg x 5 95 kg x 5 95 kg x 5 Deadlifts: 50 kg x 7 100 kg x 5 140 kg x 3 170 kg x 5- Failed rep 6 (PB) The liquid chalk i used today wasn't quite the equal of my friends proper chalk I used last week, i was hoping for more than 5 reps, but this is good enough to progress. Seated DB shoulder press: 35 kg x 8 35 kg x 6 or 7 35 kg x 7 (with a spotter) shoulder press machine: whole stack x 1 rep pull ups: bw x 15,10,10 EZ bar + 10 kg each side for one set of 21's quite easy EZ bar + 11.25 kg each side x 10 reps of curls | ||

This should keep my strength increasing | ||

Pendlay Row: 50 kg x 5 62.5 kg x 5 75 kg x 5 85 kg x 3 (Failed to touch the chest on rep 4 and rep 5) Kept a strict form today on rows, first time I've been unable to get the reps.

jerking is obviously great, Member 2521, 4713 posts SQ 235, BP 160, DL 290685.0 kgs @ 111kgs UnEq | Weigh in: 96 kg Went out last night, didn't drink much but only slept from 4am-9am with training at 3pm. Overhead Press: 40 kg x 5 50 kg x 5 60 kg x 5 (Manhandled) 72.5 kg x 5 PB Atrocious form on the final set, no attempt at a pause between reps, I just went ape s**t until i got 5. Staggered backwards on rep 3 as well which isn't good. May re-attempt this week next week, or possible switch programming on the press to triples. Squats: 60 kg x 5 80 kg x 5 95 kg x 5 95 kg x 5 Not as easy as they should have been Deadlifts: 70 kg x 5 110 kg x 4 140 kg x 2 (double overhand) 170 kg x 1 (mixed grip) 200 kg x 1 (chalk mixed grip) PB I was very pleased with 200, but it was a grinder, got it off the floor an inch, and then i really had to put my back in to it for the next 18 inches, then it was plain sailing till lockout. Work set: 175 kg x 2 (wtf) The rep max attempt earlier must have taken it out of me, I was quite shocked though. Seated DB shoulder press: 35 kg x 8 35 kg x 7 35 kg x 5 Exactly the same as last week Perpendicular pull ups: +15 kg x 10 +15 kg x 7 +15 kg x 5 | ||
