| Saturday 12/02/2011 IFSA log 80kg *1c+3p, *1c+3p 95kg *1c+3p 105kg *1c+3p 115kg *1c+3p 100kg *1c+5p Yoke 75kg *24m 155kg *12m 215kg *12m 275kg *12m 315kg *12m Stones to 60" 80kg *1, *1 110kg *1, *1 150kg *1, *1 Went down to Gloucester to train with Mobster, Big Loz etc. First event work in 5 months, and something I'll be focussing much more on this year, to get my gym strength into the equipment. Nothing majorly heavy today, but knocking the rust off. Log was pretty smooth and stable. Could have done more but wasn't looking for big numbers yet. Yoke was interesting, only the second time I've ever done it. Broke the 300kg barrier though so bodes well, albeit slow and wobbly, practice required. Stones were ok, but hip was cramping so didn't do too much. Not bad at all :-) | |||

Cheers mr pateman, always been fairly handy at pull ups. Can currently do about 12-16 in one set, or a good 5 with 20kg. Had to be quick today tho  I think it's becaue I've always done them since I was 10 stone of piss, so as I've got heavier I've got stronger at the same rate. All dead hang and throat to bar of course too  | |||

| Thursday 10/02/2011 Push Press 60kg *5, *5 100kg *3 117.5kg *3 130kg *3, *3, *3 Deadlift 180kg *3 230kg *3 260kg *3, *3, *3 Incline Bench 100kg *8 122.5kg *8, *6, *5 Pull Ups Bodyweight *8, *8, *8 Really good session today. I solved the problem of my mid back cramping on the push press finally. Take off my belt  Seems it was restricting the movement in my back and causing my lats to cramp and spasm due to not being able to elongate properly. They were strong, and if I'm honest probably a little too light. Exciting times to come as I can start getting my pressing power into the bar.Deadlifts were good for the first time in a while, I've had very little consistency for a while, so changed a few things around today and they seem to have worked. Pretty comfortable, more to come. Couple of bits and bobs to finish, should have been barbell rows but ran out of time so had to do chins instead. Total time 2hrs 5mins | |||

| Weighed in at 129.9kg last night, 0.2 off my heaviest ever, but about 5% less bodyfat now 4 leanish kilos gained since new year, good times! Also just noticed my tagline and feel I have to clarify that the giant set in question was Fanny knocking one out into his tea haha | |||

MrSmall said:Nice flexibility for a big man, big man. Cheers senor small, I work quite hard at it. Got to the stage where I had to sit on the floor to put my socks on! Worked hard on it and it came back quite quickly. My next wl session I'll stick some vids up, as those 'strongman muscle power cleans' aren't representative of my true ability and flexibility LOL! | |||

Post Edited: 07.02.2011 @ 17:25 PM by VanillaGorilla Monday 07/02/2011Power clean and push press (clean every rep) 60kg *3, *3 90kg *3 105kg *3 120kg *3, *3, *3 Squat 100kg *3 180kg *3 Belt 220kg *3, *3, *3 Belt, wraps Bench Press 100kg *8 135kg *8, *7, *6 Chins Bodyweight *8, *8, *8 Chest Press / Lat pulldown superset 100kg *10/10, *10/10 First session of phase 2, starting to put some strength work in there. Won't be anything below triples, but starting to get some weight on the bar. C&P were solid, not pretty but strong. 120*3 is my 3 rep PB, so to do 3x3 was really pleasing, especially as haven't done a proper session with them in about 9 weeks. Didn't know what to expect with the squats, as again, not really had a proper session with them in a while, 6 weeks or so. My reps aren't usually anywhere near as good as my top end, so was happy with these, all very deep and smooth. Few bits and bobs to keep working on my size to finish. Overall, really happy with this session, way more fun than the last 5 weeks of bodybuilding nonsense haha! Total time 2hrs 10mins. Video of my second set of C&P with 120kg, messy but strong, a bit like me haha! | |||
