Full mask or nasal and chin strap? Member 3254, 2485 posts | improvements to be made - A I eat far too much food that is of very little nutritional value... Mostly due to a lack of forward thinking and flexibility B Weights on the weekend... Events on a weekend...Just not there... and in the long run will have a negative effect on me defending my strongman titles on the road to worlds strongest man. I fear my weekends are just too busy between works for me to be able to correct this to any degree. I can't lift heavy when exhausted. Still, I can improve my diet starting with porridge for breakfast with maybe a protein shake...and at the weekend I can try to use my break periods to do kettlebell circuits or (lightbulb moment!) stretch my back, glutes and hamstrings ALL of which are inflexible to the point it is affecting their strength development and causing discomfort as I stand for extended periods | ||

Americans 'win' with cheese Member 2293, 1493 posts | Post Edited: 07.05.2012 @ 21:04 PM by davidhowarth Training is looking good, on the event thing im thinking of doing some in each session instead off doing it all on a sunday. oh and for breakfast i still have (what you told me to have 12 months ago) 1 scoop of protein powder, one table spoon of peanut butter, 500ml of milk (or there abouts) 2 handfuls of oats. IT WORKS WELL FOR ME good to go first thing in the morning...... | ||

Full mask or nasal and chin strap? Member 3254, 2485 posts | With any luck I will do a pressing session tomorrow and (which is important) get some unilateral leg work done aswell... Maybe at an evening exercise class I'm not convinced I log it... but I try and do some lunges or Bulgarian split squats in once a week After this cycle I will try and get rid of the minor bleed/tear in my left thigh I will know this niggle will have gone again when I am able to do pistol squats without pain or wall up stairs two at a time Rehab Rolling pin work on legs and back, some more stretches | ||

Full mask or nasal and chin strap? Member 3254, 2485 posts | chaos said:Strong squatting and good pulls! They were up there with the best once done my regular viewer 215kg is my 3RM... I may settle for 222.5kg for three in a couple of weeks considering how hard they were yesterday Will do 235kg for three deadlifts that same session too It's good to actually squat weights that are mentally testing In quite a bit of pain today so my day starts with some porridge, (can't handle a protein shake in the morning) a couple of cookies and milk then some lower body stretches to put humpy dumpy back together again | ||

Instead of using two bands attached to the floor via dumbbells or anchor or some sort I use one. Put the bar on the bench itself and wrap the band over the bar at each end and under the bench in the middle... Then I upright row the bar and place it in the rack position | ||

I couldn't do dips after benching because of the elbow pain so I know I worked to my potential for once My arch is improving so the numbers probably reflect a better set up aswell I will video a bench set for you and others to look at at some point Friday 11th May 2012 14.25" Deadlift alternating mixed grip 70kg x 3 120kg x 3 170kg x 3 220kg x 1 250kg x 1 270kg x 1 220kg x 5 On course... I want 300kg from here in a couple of months which will finally mean I can pull to some competency* Dumbell Screw Curls 10kg x 25 I helped Mandy and becky do some kettlebell circuits ore workout which I think got me in the correct mindset for today's pulls Glute, hamstring and lower back long hold stretches to finish The asymmetries in my body are quite impressive and constant... Whenever I stretch I'm always reminded of this That's four sessions done this week which is fine... The weights sessions have all been pleasantly strong...can see me losing a bit of unecessary bodyweight over the next few weeks due to dietary adjustments and although this may sacrifice the pbs which are ready to be cashed in I can live with that We'll see Off to Edinburgh for three days, back to it Monday *more than Joni | ||
