Cheers Neil, I have started doing some ab rollouts and will probably add some planks in to get my core beyond pathetically weak. Seem to be when he does his rows, everything works (rather than just an arm/upper back exercise)?


i think thats the thinking behind doing heavy rows for reps. gets the whole upper body working rather than isolating the Lat with strict d/b rows

squats today
superior size 46 on, straps down.
10/5
30/3
50/3
70/1
90/1
110/5
130/3
140/1
150/1
160/1 (belt on)
170/1
180/1 (straps up)
190/fail (wraps on)

A funny one this. 170 onwards felt like a ton to unrack on my back (probably because I never squat this heavy), but weren't really too hard to squat.

190 simply slipped down my back, but I have no doubt that I would have squatted it. I think if I could keep the bar in place and overcome the feeling of it being so heavy, I could definitely squat 200.

Unfortunately on dropping the bar I completely bent itUnhappy

You could practice your walkouts occasionally with heavy weights, it gets you used to having it on your back.

Aye, I might give this a try. anything I can walk out and hold i can squat at the minute and my knees are pretty sore as well, so I might mix this in with front squats.

727.5 kgs @ 114.8kgs UnEq		About it feeling heavy on your back thats just a weak core, once the bars on the right part of my back it doesnt feel stupidly heavy but the walkouts fairly hard. if you dont use your belt straight away you'll build a strong core, only on light weights not all of your working sets, and remember that as you've got less support the weight you lift will drop accordingly.

Cheers Joe-I've just read this now. I only use my belt on top sets, but my core is horribly weak. However, I've started to incorporate stuff to strengthen things a bit, so hopefully this will bear fruit. Fronties are more of a priority for me at the minute, but I think some walk outs will do me good.

Anyway, on to today.

My nephew says he fancies coming to train with me. I don't know if he will stick with it, but if he does, it will nice to have someone to train with. I thought I'd get him started on a bit of 5/3/1. We'll see.

changed (a little) what I was going to do because my nephew turned up to train. It made a pleasant change to train with someone else. When I train alone I work at least as hard (put the earphones on, go into my world) but I tend to do less. It will be nice to maybe do a bit more, although I don't know how long he'll stick with it.
