| all i know i want to see Jonathan & Olly go head to head on farmers, Yoke, log and Stones That will be something to watch and it will be a close call, i'm sure both will push themselves like never before. | |||

| i wish this f**ker would keep his log up to date so we could a) give him even more abuse and b) congratulate him on the rare occasions when the lifting was good. Like yesterday, that 215kg squat was like a feather, indeed it looked like a first rep of a triple. Unlucky with the 222.5kg - form went because of lack of heavy squatting in your training for a while. | |||
| » my next routine (Go to post) | 16-10-2006 @ 15:27 | ||
| comments? ------------ Routine till end of November Goals: 1. make some time for busy life schedule coming up in next two months and cut down to three times/week 2. focus on bringing up my lagging bench 3. slightly more deadlift focused lower body work 4. increase in lat work and shoulder health work Day 1 - Wednesday Deadlifts - heavyish singles and back down to three singles focusing on speed Optional: occasionally rack pulls or platform deads if lower back feels up for it Push press pull-ups (have this on deadlift day because it lenghtens the spine nicely) Day 2 - friday Bench Press - details yet to be decided. Most likely will back down in weight and reps and build up again aiming to reach triples with 125kg. Should focus more on singles, but could get the same effect by focusing on the quality of the first rep with my triples. Barbell row Dumbell press or narrow grip board press Rotator cuff work Day 3 - Sunday Squats - much like deadlifts, except back off to doubles Shoulder press - dumbell or barbell, strict. Stiff Legged deadlifts Abs | |||

| dog tired, aching joints, bad sleep, creeping cold, sore throath, lost apetite... Sound familiar? I am thinking of either taking this week off or go ridiculously light. And let this day become famous for Joni NOT injuring himself but actually cycling back down for his own free will! First time for everything | |||

| Tokar is competing, but who are planning to go watch this comp? Wayne, who has trained with the Edinburgh Cult folks few times will be competing too sporting a familiar looking Metal singlet  I'd definitely like to go and watch unless family matters come in way (rochelles b-day...) | |||

| i think it will be mainly Jonathan vs Olly, and then rest of us can go head to head in other categories. Buzz is making great gains with the toys - i would not be suprised if he would beat me by early next year. Alex is a skinny bodybuilder ( ) but a strong one and will probably make leaps and bounds with gains now after moving to live in the strength cult house. he already nailed that 100kg stone didn't he? Buzz & Jonathan, should Spug be counted in the cult house team since he is kind of scottish If Wayne comes along, he should remain neutral because otherwise we get our arses handed to us...Jo could take on Kathryn? So my suggestion: Jonathan, Buzz and Olly, plan the events and set a date. Go heavy. | |||

| » Do not trust the sugden scales! (Go to post) | 15-10-2006 @ 21:50 | ||
| Weighed my self twice in a week in sugden: 107.4kg and 108kg - i thought it was really frustrating because of the huge amounts of food i have been put away during my GFH. In edinburgh i tried three scales and the consensus was that the one which showed 110-112kg was most reliable, perhaps a bit generous. I then weighed myself at a petrol station which gave me 111kg with shoes and extra shorts on, so maybe 110kg - sounds about right? Who to trust here! I shall complain to the Sugden manager! | |||

| squats 5x60 5x100 4x140 1x170 1x190 1x200 1x207.5kg new pb 1x212.5kg new PB! firstly, i was wearing my competition singlet - i know it is raw and all, but the tightness really helps. Walkouts were awful, the weight felt like a ton! But once i started to move, it was ok. The 212.5kg was not too bad, but the depth was questionable. This left me feeling quite unhappy about it because i was thinking if i should claim it as a PB or not. After watching the video couple times i think i'll take it as a PB - not a good lift, borderline, and with a bit of good morning thrown in. Could have dug it up from deeper as well, no problems. Thats all, i was wasted afterwards and my peak has been reached i think. I will take time off till wednesday and start new lighter cycle then, though haven't decided what to do with my bench press (after all, i have only put 2.5kg to my bench PB in the past 8 months, so understandably i am eager to turn my recent work into a PB!). Hopefully will reach new heights again in about 6 weeks time! | |||

| s**t mate - that was an awful a lot of work. Awesome lifting Jono, that 130kg stone was especially impressive. Now you need to use your persution skills to get Deckerz to do strongman - almost nailing 150kg stone and flipping that 400kg tyre is no mean feat for someone who has done strongman for like twice before in his life He would do ok in the under 105kgs despite his old age Good work, keep it up! | |||

| Just showed it to rochelle as well Seriously funny, but at the same time a bit disturbing... but f**k that! Todays session to report! I am feeling some overtraining creeping in - no suprise there, going h as been good and heavy lately. But anyways, no time to be a weakling: bench press 10x60 5x80 3x100 1x110 5,5,5,4,5 x 120 - YES! only missed one rep (Olly did touch the bar on last rep of last set as well, but claims he didn't help ). This is seriously good result.Dont think i can keep this up no longer, so may pull back now. Will think about this next week. Pullups 6x3 rotator cuff work from two angles, and rear delt flyes. | |||
