mmmmmm me love cookies ! Member 3818, 98 posts SQ 135, BP 115, DL 170 420.0 kgs @ 85kgs UnEq	First session I did all the lifts to see if I'd got numbers right, will pass all current pb's by week 5 ish, made a vid... Basic premise, add between 32.5 and 40kg to all main lifts for 5 reps in 12 weeks Looking something like this... http://i.imgur.com/fAFjV.jpg Current condition, bodyweight 84kg, pics unpumped: http://i.imgur.com/CUgA8.jpg Goals (in 12 weeks) http://i.imgur.com/ubtkI.jpg

Was fairly drained by the end. Squat Bar x 5, 50kg x 5, 70kg x 3, 95kg x 5, 95kg x 5, 95kg x 10 Bench Bar x 5, 40kg x 5, 60kg x 3, 80kg x 5, 80kg x 5, 80kg x 10 Press Bar x 5, 30kg x 5, 50kg x 5, 50kg x 5, 50kg x 8 Deadlift 50kg x 5, 90kg x 5, 125kg x 5 - Very light, but after watching and re-watching the MR coaching vid I have massively re-evaluated form. Hang Clean (will progress to power clean asap) Bar x 5 (warm ups, jumps etc) 50kg x 3, 50kg x 3, 50kg x 3, 50kg x 3, 50kg x 3 Chins/Dips Superset 3 x 5 @ BW

Session 2/36 Squat Bar x 10, 60kg x 5 97.5kg x 5, 97.5kg x 5, 97.5kg x 5 None felt particularly difficult. Bench Bar x 10, 50kg x 5 82.5kg x 5, 82.5kg x 5, 82.5kg x 5 Again, nice and easy. Deadlift 60kg x 10, 100kg x 5 130kg x 5 Working on Rippetoes form video, which is completely different to how I used to do it. Feels good though, and think will pay off as it gets heavy. Pull Ups / Dips Superset 3 x 5,5 @ +2.5kg Easy, will alternate Pull Ups and Chins each session.

Member 3818, 98 posts SQ 135, BP 115, DL 170 420.0 kgs @ 85kgs UnEq	It's a long time coming yet mate, may have to give it a miss for now as next year I begin a sparky apprenticeship (at 30 lol) and a bunch of other stuff is gonna keep me mega busy dnwfitness.co.uk but there's nothing there atm The Rip vid is awesome mate yeah, downloaded it naughtily but thinking of paying him some money direct or something as it's invaluable u90 novice event next year, think there's one in Consett? I want it!

Member 5, 25597 posts Administrator	Post Edited: 27.11.2012 @ 19:40 PM by Boar I have this functional strength coach 4 and although this guy seems to be 'odd' on occasion , i always find some real good stuff in his DVD presentations .... consett is where they hold the u90 qualifier , always a SMASHING comp and if i hadnt paid 400 to do the ironman next year i would be back on the strongman trail and be joining you !!

mmmmmm me love cookies ! Member 3818, 98 posts SQ 135, BP 115, DL 170 420.0 kgs @ 85kgs UnEq	Session 3/36 Squat Won't log warm ups to avoid confusion. Few sets with increasing weight though. > 100kg x 5, 100kg x 5, 100kg x 5 Easy really, no major issues, possibly last rep of last set was more difficult but was never going anywhere but up. > 75kg x 20 fking emotional, first 10 flew up, next 5 were a bit urgh and last 5 made me see Jesus and Jesus isn't even real. Throwing in a set of 20s on the last session of the week, increasing 2.5kg a time. Overhead Press > 52.5kg x 5, 52.5kg x 5, 52.5kg x 5 No issues. Power Clean > 55kg x 3 (5 sets of) Starting to get to grips with this now, using hoo kgrip feels weird but can see the reasoning for it. Could probably throw 55 through the ceiling but can see 70 onwards getting very difficult. Chins / Dips Superset > 3 x 5,5 @ +3.75kg Easy, odd number but I could only fit 3 lil plates in my hoody as I'd left dipping belt at home. Finished with some low rows, face pulls, arms and other st I have no wish to log.
