| 30/11/06 Squat 60x5, 80x5, 100x4, 120x3, 140x2x6 Nice and easy, just like the low volume days ought to be on this routine. Bench Press 70x5, 85x5, 100x3, 112.5x4, 110x5x4, 112.5x4 Hmmm. Started off absolutely crap. Had to rack 112.5 on the lower hooks cos I failed the 5th rep half way up. Very pissed off but dropped down to 110 and stopped pausing. By the 4th set with 110 it was really easy so I went back up to 112.5 and arsed up the last set by not bringing the bar out far enough and trying to readjust before the last rep. Bad idea. So disappointing, but not as bad as it was looking at the start. Still hopeful I can nail 112.5x6x6 next week if I drop the high rep close grips midweek. Pulldown (supinated) 98x5, 112x3, 126x1x5 Dead easy, as it should be. Back to 3s next week. Hammer Curl 17.5sx20x3 | |||

| 28/11/06 Front Squat 60x5, 80x3, 100x2, 110x1, 120x1, 130x1x2 Deadlift 60x5, 120x3, 145x3, 170x3x2, 190x2x4 Close Grip Bench Press 60x6, 80x6, 92.5x3, 105x6, 6, 5 Deadlift from knee 120x4, 145x4, 170x4x2, 192.5x3x2, 215x2x3 Machine Row 104x12 Deadlifts felt nice and easy. Bit disappointed with the close grips but I was in a rush and couldn't take as long rests as I would have liked. | |||

| Nice one Rob - didn't doubt you'd get it. Was it hard enough for you not to be tempted to stick on another 2.5kg? Or was that just your renowned PB conservatism holding you back? | |||

Post Edited: 01.12.2006 @ 12:26 PM Eww. On an anally retentive sidenote - I didn't think the third bench was any less paused than the second. EDIT - Just watched it again and am confirmed in my opinion - can't understand why the 150 was red lighted when then 140 wasn't. | |||

| 27/11/06 Some "fun" cardio tonight... 15kg DB Swing 20 reps x 12 sets w/ 40 sec rests So kind of high intensity interval training really. Followed by: Treadmill 10mins @ incline 4 speed 6 I really must get some kind of consistency going with cardio - this is a half-decent amount of work if I actually do it regularly (like, at least twice a week). Then I'll up the volume/intensity a bit - faster and steeper incline on the treadmill and more sets/reps on the swings. If I hadn't started doing a fair bit of stretching after workouts I'd be able to fit it in, but with an eye on injury prevention, the stretching is something I definitely don't want to be skipping. | |||

| I think you should always start off lighter than you would normally - if you try and jump straight back into weights that you were lifting before you were ill you'll just take longer to get back to where you were. Heavy singles is fine, but "heavy" is relative - you definitely shouldn't expect them to be as heavy as pre-illness. | |||

| 26/11/06 Squat 60x5, 80x5, 100x5, 120x3, 140x5x6 Squats haven't been feeling too good lately, but apart from a few godawful reps where I dropped too fast or had my stance too wide, these were not bad at all. Bench Press 70x5, 85x4, 100x3, 112.5x2x6 DB Bench Press 37.5sx14, 12, 11 Pull-up BWx10, +10x10, +15x10, +10x10, BWx10x2 | |||

Originally posted by Jonathan... Regarding the scales at Sugden, we think that they weigh a few kilos under. This was proven when Joni came up here, protesting he was 108kg despite weighing over 110kg on three sets of scales. He muttered plans of complaining to the manager about being consistantly ripped off.....  Jonathan That's pretty crappy if the 50p electronic superduper scales are inaccurate to the tune of a few kilos. I'll have to get my own soon, with all these untrustworthy ones about. | |||

| 24/11/06 OH Press 40x5, 50x3, 60x3, 70x1x5, 60x5x5 Barbell Row 115x3x8 SLDL off block 50x10, 90x10, 110x10 Decided to just do one top set on these; 3 is too much work with full deadlifts as well. Rope pressdown 52.5x15x3 | |||

| 23/11/06 Squat 60x5, 80x5, 100x5, 120x3, 140x2x6 Bench Press 70x4, 85x4, 100x4, 112.5x4x6 Could have been easier. Pulldown (parallel grip) 90x5, 105x3, 120x2x5 Hammer Curl 20sx16x3 L-lateral raise + rotation 7sx12x2 Not feeling too great on the Russian routine at the moment. Not sure whether to trust the analogue scales at the gym but they said 92kg today. One at home says 95kg - although that's after a big meal - so who knows? I think the heavy close grips on Tuesdays are definitely taking it out of me for the volume on Thursdays. Have to have a look at that. | |||
