Glorious spam Member 1563, 3961 posts SQ 180, BP 130, DL 260 570.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq	09/10/10 trained at powerhouse gym in Rhyl with sion. First time having a go at anything other than everyday weightlifting equipment. did some axle clean and jerks/presses/push presses. dont know the weight of it, started with a wheel and a 20kg each side and worked up from there. did about 6 sets. Did some sandbag loading, got a 65kg bag up on a high platform a few times and a 75kg bag onto a medium platform once. finished by doing a few squats bar x 12, 70kg x 15. nowt special. was good to have a play with some strongman gear, unfortunatly the log is pretty heavy there, felt like over 80kg (unloaded) so didnt have much chance gettin that up on my first go.

Glorious spam Member 1563, 3961 posts SQ 180, BP 130, DL 260 570.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq	21/10/10 deadlifts 60x12 90x8 120x5 142.5x4 152.5 x 2 overhead strict- 20x12 40x10 50x6 60x4 push - 62.5x4 then some seated rear delt fly things and some tri pull downs. felt weak today, not a good session for me. i really need to find a new gym. man who runs it has now stopped me using chalk which makes proper deadlifting impossible, i also have to be carefull to place the weight back down very quietly which makes the way down harder than lifting the f**kin thing. i live in chester and have a car, any ideas for a proper non tarts gym would be appreciated!

Glorious spam Member 1563, 3961 posts SQ 180, BP 130, DL 260 570.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq	i've had a look over my log so far and think its time i put some structure to my training. im gonna go for the 5X3 training system and try my best to stick to it for a while and see what kind of results i get. the plan is bench sunday, squat monday, OH press wednesday and deadlift friday. so as i did bench today roughly 5x4, i'll pretend it was 5x3 and carry on next sunday with the 3x2 and so on. Just written out the first few weeks and some bits look harder than others due to personal repping abilities. should be fun!

Programme said 5x3 52.5kg. bar x 12 30kg x 10 40kg x 8 50kg x 5 training sets 52.5kg x 3 52.5kg x 3 52.5kg x 3 52.5kg x 3 52.5kg x 3 52.5kg x 3 52.5kg x 3 ^ managed 7x3 on this weight, possibly too light but glad to save some energy for dumbell overhead. One arm overhead from floor, every rep cleaned. F = cleaned but Failed press. 27.5kg L,R,L,R, 27.5KG L,R,L,R, 32.5KG L,R,L,R, 32.5KG L,R,L,R. 37.5KG LF, RF, R OK PB added elbow sleeve's at this point. L OK R OK L OK But hard R OK Super sets 15kg dumbell's front raises 10 reps, then seated rear fly's 6 reps. x 3 times. pleased with today, put my name down for a u90's novice comp in May and there is a 40kg dumbell overhead for reps so that has given me a good target to train for.
