NaZ said: Cardio? That for me is getting to the gym, putting the weight on the bar and off, need to start doing some again. Dont worry Naz, im not a fan of cardio but im thinking that short burst of cardio will help with stamina for repping events and medleys. Also could do with losing a bit (alot) of weight. Will be at the gym Friday evening if your about? around 5ish i expect | |||

| Tuesday 11th October Push press Bar x 5 x 2 40kg x 4 60kg x 2 80kg x 2 100kg x 3 - failed 4th rep 100kg x 2 - dropped bar after 2nd rep 100kg x 3 100kg x 3 100kg x 1 - just wanted to get the 12th rep Strict log press 80kg x 4 80kg x 4 85kg x 3 85kg x 1 Was aiming for sets of 4 reps but determined to get to the 12 reps even if it involves 12 sets of singles. May drop back to 95kg push presses and go for 4 or 5 sets next week or increase sets to 5 or 6 reps. | |||

| Cheers Matt & Naz, trying to keep the reps up untill xmas time then see where I am. Saturday 8th October Bit of event training at Gym1, Luton Farmers - I think each run was about 30m (15m each way) 60kg x 30m 60kg x 30m 100kg x 30m 120kg x 30m 120kg x 15m Circus dumbell 53kg x f Bent over barbell rows 60kg x 8 60kg x 8 60kg x 8 Session mainly involved alot of standing around chatting with James with a little training mixed in, just how its ment to be! Happy with the 120 farmers although i still hate this event. Tried the circus dumbell for the first time, could do with working technique on a lighter dumbell but elbow was hurting from yesterdays session so didnt push it. Bent over rows were done because the bar was in the way so thought id make use of it. | |||

| Just out of interest mate, I notice you mentioned that you are dieting. Are you looking to drop much weight? and is this to improve cardio? Also what does your diet look like? p.s. some huge overhead numbers there | |||

| Friday 7th October Training at Gym1, Luton Bench press Bar x 10 60kg x 10 80kg x 8 100kg x 8 120kg x 4 100kg x 8 100kg x 8 100kg x 8 Push press 60kg x 4 60kg x 4 60kg x 4 80kg x 4 Barbell curls 30kg x 10 35kg x 10 40kg x 10 45kg x 10 Really wasnt motivated to train today and had no plan of what to do, hence the random excercise selection. Bench felt strong, bar a slight pain in my elbows again, didnt go too heavy as had no spotter. | |||

| Just seen your last deadlifting session. Haven't seen many people doing reps with 3x their bodyweight! Keep it up mate | |||

| Good stuff Matt. Strict pressing is hard for us mear mortals. I reckon high reps is the way forward though. By the way, will possibly up your way end of Nov / beginning of Dec. Need you to cast your eye over my squat technique - its crap. Il speak to you nearer the time though | |||

| Wednesday 5th October Had been suffering with a really tight lower back all day. Even last night it was bothering me whilst sleeping. Got better during the day but i could still feel it before the workout so did 10 mins of stretching and warming up. Squats Bar x 10 70kg x 4 110kg x 4 150kg x 4 170kg x 2 - didnt feel right so decided to drop down and go for reps 110kg x 10 110kg x 10 110kg x 10 Back was seriously pumped after this so sacked off the SLDL. I think i need to sort out my training days to allow plenty of rest. | |||
