⚽ Member 3634, 2381 posts SQ 227.5, BP 175, DL 250 652.5 kgs @ 143kgs UnEq	After 2 days off the gym due to circumstances at work (too much work not enough money) I thought I better get a training session in today so I dragged my lazy arse and make the what should be short journey to Hercules gym but thanks to town traffic and some stupid, over priced farmers show at the end of my road it took nearly a bloody hour!! There's commitment for you First up was the dreaded log press! Haven't done this many times and can't get the hang of it but needs must, here is how it went. Log Press - 82kg x 1 92kg x 1 97kg x 1 Equal PB 102kg x F 102kg x F 102kg x F 82kg x 3 Reps PB 82kg x 3 The last attempt at 102kg was the closest and felt like it was there but was so gassed by then I didn't have the fight to lock it. Was happy with the 82kg reps as with every rep it felt like my technique was getting better. Strict Press - 70kg x 1 80kg x 1 90kg x F PB attempt 90kg x F 85kg x 1 equal PB Reverse Pec Dec - 40kg x 10 60kg x 8 80kg x 8 100kg x 4 First time ever doing this and I quite liked it, hits my rear delts like nothing before and could feel it straight away. Lateral Raises - 16kg x 8 18kg x 8 20kg x 5 Not my best or heaviest session but my shoulders definitely felt it, was happy with my technique and felt like there is more there but a week of late nights, early mornings and long days at work have finally caught up with me. On the plus side I made it through a whole pressing session without dropping or bending a bar

⚽ Member 3634, 2381 posts SQ 227.5, BP 175, DL 250 652.5 kgs @ 143kgs UnEq	After looking at my journal goals I have realised that I have hit my goal of a 180kg squat this year so I am going to push the boat out and set my new squat target at 220kg by the end of the year

⚽ Member 3634, 2381 posts SQ 227.5, BP 175, DL 250 652.5 kgs @ 143kgs UnEq	Tuesday 17th July After a couple days off, would say of rest but spending the day walking round Westfields shopping centre with the missus in shoes that are slowly trying to cut your feet off is anything but restful! As my press seems to be going no where fast I decided that should be the order of the day. Strict Press - 60kg x 5 70kg x 5 75kg x 5 85kg x 3 Push Press 95kg x 3 Push press reps PB Close Grip Bench Press - 95kg x 5 115kg x 3 135kg x 3 145kg x 1 New PB Upright Row 60kg x 5 60kg x 8 Lateral Raises 15kg x 8 20kg x 6 22.5kg x 4 Front Raises 20kg x 8 22.5kg x 5 One arm Dumbbell press - As many reps floor to overhead in 60 secs 40kg x 9 Happy with that session my shoulders were still feeling it a bit from saturdays pressing so felt like there could have been a couple more reps in there but to be honest I was being lazy Very Happy with my close grip bench PB I seem to be finding this easier than standard bench press at the moment and my numbers are going up quicker as there's only 5kg difference between the 2 now. The DB press was for what I thought would be fun and my pathetic attempt at fitness and it was harder than I thought and not as much fun!

⚽ Member 3634, 2381 posts SQ 227.5, BP 175, DL 250 652.5 kgs @ 143kgs UnEq	Hopefully so mate I would like a higher deadlift than 260kg but thought that was more realistic? Same with all my goals really
