Friday 10th February 2012 ATG Squats 60kg x 5 reps 60kg x 5 reps 60kg x 5 reps 60kg x 5 reps 60kg x 5 reps --Legs took a fair amount of warming up today, they felt very stiff and weak. After 5 sets they felt loose and warm, all good. 105kg x 5 reps 120kg x 5 reps 137.5kg x 5 reps Front Squats 120kg x 3 reps 120kg x 3 reps 120kg x 3 reps --Think I may have to lower my safety bars since I kept hitting them and could have gone deeper. I've been doing a lot of shoulder dislocations/dislocates recently, think my shoulders were much tighter than I realised. I now seem to have increased ROM on so many lifts, quite amazing really.

Thursday 09th February 2012 A1 - Bench Press 60kg x 10 reps 105kg x 3 reps 120kg x 3 reps 135kg x 3 reps --Just going to hit required reps for a bit, my bench used to have a big carryover to my overhead but this has dried up. Need to shift the focus elsewhere. A2 - Neutral Grip Chin Ups x 8 reps x 8 reps x 8 reps --Need more sets here. Want to start hitting 50 total reps on a regular basis. Incline Press --2 Notches Up 77.5kg x 8 reps 77.5kg x 8 reps 77.5kg x 8 reps 77.5kg x 8 reps --Still new to these and form is a little shakey but much better than last week. Going to increment again next time. Chucked in various rows, not sure what weight I used or the reps. Was running low on time so just picked up whatever was closest and rowed until I couldn't row any more. Did 3 sets of this. My lantern was failing today so most sets were done in the gloom. There was a little light but all it seemed to do was highlight the darkness. Lantern is on charge now but I did notice the sun starting to come up as I locked the garage. Will be good to train in the light again, feel like some sort of nocturnal weightlifting chimp right now. | |||

I use one for my top sets else I grind my teeth. I've actually broken a tooth that way. Gum sheild takes a little getting used to but I wouldn't go back. | |||

Tuesday 07th February 2012 Hang Power Snatch 30kg x 3 reps 35kg x 3 reps 40kg x 3 reps Deadlift 120kg x 5 reps 180kg x 5 reps 205kg x 3 reps 230kg x 1 rep --Very fast easy rep 280kg x 0 reps --Got to mid shin and stalled out. 280kg x 0 reps --Same, mid shin. Think this is close, just need a bit more speed or learn to grind better. Wanted to do either high (ish) rep deads or shrugs (or both) but near s**t myself on the last rep so decided it was best to leave and have a good clear out. | |||

Monday 06th February 2012 Military Press 65kg x 5 reps 75kg x 3 reps 85kg x 5 reps --PB By 2 Reps, think I could have ground out an extra one if I wasn't standing on ice. 85kg x 3 reps 85kg x 3 reps 85kg x 4 reps 1x DB Row 45kg x 10 reps (Each Side) 45kg x 10 reps (Each Side) 45kg x 10 reps (Each Side) Training was a bit crazy today since my footing was very unstable. It snowed a lot over the weekend so I was standing on a good inch of ice today. Just stuck with strict pressing as didn't want to rock the boat too much and start jumping around with the weight. | |||

Friday 03rd February 2012 Bench Press --Completely unsheduled but I was early today and the bench was setup from yesterday so it would have been rude not too. bar x 10 reps 60kg x 5 reps 70kg x 5 reps 80kg x 5 reps 90kg x 5 reps 100kg x 5 reps 110kg x 5 reps 120kg x 5 reps 130kg x 3 reps A1 ATG Squats 60kg x 10 reps 60kg x 10 reps 75kg x 8 reps 100kg x 8 reps 112.5kg x 8 reps 140kg x 3 reps --Wow these were deep, think my form went a bit off right in the hole since realistically I lack the flexibility to go this deep. I used a box to make sure I had uniform depth but these weren't box squats more squats to a box. The box was 6", think I need to adjust this to be 9" and they will still be deep and form should not suffer. Loves these even though I can't got as heavy. A2 Farmers Walk 90kg (Each Hand) x 40m (Turn @ 20m) 90kg (Each Hand) x 40m (Turn @ 20m) --Dropped from my right hand about 10cm before the entire bar was over the line. 90kg (Each Hand) x 40m (Turn @ 20m) -- Could feel my right hand opening just after the turn so turned upo the speed and almost ran over the line. Happy with today although I'm a little supprised my right hand started losing grip. Thats my strong hand but I do have a lot of bruising on my palm so I wonder if that could be a factor. Just need to keep loading these up and conditioning for higher loads I think. I've done 125kg each hand before so I guess I'm out of practice. | |||

Tuesday 31st January 2012 Keg Press ~50kg x 2 reps --Not sure why I did these but they were fun. The Keg is about 3/4 full of water and cleaning it is a task and a half, much harder than a log clean. Pressing is also fun because of the stabilisation. Hang Power Snatch 30kg x 5 reps 32.5kg x 5 reps 37.5kg x 5 reps 18" Rack Pull 70kg x 10 reps 120kg x 10 reps 150kg x 10 reps 170kg x 10 reps 220kg x 15 reps --PB by default since I havent repped this weight before.

fctilidie said:Awesome lifting matey. You seem to be hitting rep pb's at will. Well after reading your log I decided to hit the reps for a bit and not focus so mcuh on 1RM. Seems to be paying off so far. How long did it take you to start seeing progress on the Log (press), I'm just never happy with it. | |||

Post Edited: 30.01.2012 @ 10:35 AM by nails Monday 30th January 2012Military Press 62.5kg x 5 reps 70kg x 5 reps 80kg x 8 reps --PB by 3 reps. Front Squat 65.5kg x 10 reps --It was set up so I jumped and bashed out a quick set BOR 60kg x 15 reps --Again it was set up so jumped in quick. Ghetto Log 75kg x 10 reps --First rep from the floor, rest from shoulder. Think I might make these even lighter and just work on being explosive. I've got no power with the log, could just be lack of experience I guess. Video is a bit on the dark side but you can just about make it out. Think I'm on the mend with my abscess, didn't feel like it held me back today but didn't really push the volume either. | |||

Ended up going back to the denist yesterday and it turns out I have an abscess and it's absolute agony. Got antibiotics for it now but no further action required. Basically in a week I should be fine. | |||

Cheers mate. Think I could have hit a bit more but my training time is really tight this week. I'll be lucky if I can get half and hour sessions in, bloody early shift. I'm sure you'll be joining me soon mate, you're on fire right now. | |||

Wanted to got for a push press pb but guess I need to work on my power clean a bit first. I know my lower body is strong enough and I always fail be cause of lack of trap power. Gonna start adding in shrugs and build so upper traps since mine are little babies right now. Shrugs 115kg x 20 reps --Damn I'm s**te at these. | |||
