| Weigh in: 95 kg Strict press (paused): 42.5 kg x 5 52.5 kg x 5 62.5 kg x 5 70 kg x 4 + Failed 5 th rep A bit disappointing, but I knew 70 x 5 was a big ask- not so long ago 72.5 was my 1RM! I tried to push press rep 5 after i failed strict and failed that too  Will get it next week Recovery Squats: 60 kg x 5 75 kg x 5 90 kg x 5 90 kg x 5 Deadlifts: 50 kg x 8 100 kg x 5 140 kg x 4 160 kg x 7, failed rep 8 PB 120 kg x 5, swapping mixed grip around to even out bicep strain. Was fairly pleased with this DB seated shoulder press: 35 kg x 8 (failure) 35 kg x 5 35 kg x 4 + 1 slightly forced rep + 1 more severly forced rep Perpendicular pull ups: BW x 15,10,10 Hammer curls: 17.5 kg x 8, 17.5 kg x 6 DB standing push press for fun: LHS: 40 x 1, 42.5 x 1, 45 kg x 1! PB RHS: 40 x Fail, 42.5 x 1 (equal PB), 45 kg x Fail Was quite bemused that my LHS was capable of more than my RHS, but it was definetly the amount of leg drive I was using- am pleased with my consolation PB. | |||

Post Edited: 04.07.2011 @ 12:47 PM by Terminator Weigh in: 95 kgBench Press: 52.5 kg x 7 62.5 kg x 5 75 kg x 5 90 kg x 5 102.5 kg x 4, Failed rep 5 Rep 4 was was fairly demanding, i paused for 4 seconds at the top and went for rep 5, rep 5 stalled a fists width off the chest. Bit pissed off about that, but i knew it would be a big ask after last monday. Squat: 60 kg x 5 75 kg x 5 90 kg x 5 105 kg x 5 120 kg x 5 (equal PB) 130 kg x 1 Used a little more back bend than i would have liked on the last 2 reps on 120, but decent neverthless I think. Thought I should do 130 for confidence afterwards, I kept near perfect form, but it was a bit of a grind, 140 isn't there just yet. Pendlay Row: 45 kg x 5 57.5 kg x 5 67.5 kg x 5 77.5 kg x 7 DB Bench Press: I want to work on my LHS weakness so did these too 37.5 kg x 3 sets of 8 I find these wobbly and hard to balance, especially on the left arm. Wide grip pull ups: BW x 10,8,7 Dips: Went for a bad ass + 30 kg to help my lockout strength on bench: +30 kg x 7 Barbell curls x 2 sets In reflection I was a bit annoyed about bench but it was to be expected, will have to nail 102.5 kg x 5 next monday. Squats are more important to me atm, and 120 x 5 went well. | |||

Post Edited: 03.07.2011 @ 13:34 PM by Terminator Was bored on my rest day so did some grip and flexibility work:I want to learn to front squat and to hold the bar across the clavicles rather than just supporting it with the arms like i do atm for overhead presses, am thinking this should also carry over nicely to my push press. Bar held in fingers, elbows approaching parallel to the ground, feeling the stretch: 20 kg x 10 seconds 30 kg x 10 secs 40 kg x 10 sec 50 kg x 10 secs 60 kg x 10 secs Front squat x 3, overhead press x 1 complex: 30 kg, 40 kg, 50 kg Grip work: Set the bar up 4 inches from lockout (no chalk, double overhand unless said otherwise): 50 kg x 10 secs 100 kg x 10 secs 140 kg x 7 secs ish 170 kg x 4 secs ish (alternate grip) 200 kg x 3 secs ish (alternate grip) 200 kg x fail (left hand couldn't get it off the rack) Felt good to lift the big 200, I am hoping to lift it from the floor by start of 3rd year at uni. | |||

Post Edited: 04.11.2011 @ 19:42 PM by Terminator dr_hazbun said:My current gym has only one bar, one rack and a limited number of plates. I work in with randoms almost every time I lift. It's to be expected and I just have to bear it. There are other aspects I enjoy about that gym and they make up for the inconvenience. There was one time I was deadlifting and was right at the start of my workout. Some guy wanted to squat so I ended up doing a set of deads, stripping the bar, then placing it in the rack, loading it for his squats, he'd do a set, we'd then strip the bar down agin, place it on the floor, load it up again, I'd do my set and repeat! Farcical! I was f**ked by the end of it. double post | |||

Wayne_Cowdrey said:There was a little Chinese fella who took part in WSM 2005 and 2006. I can't remember his name. He was in the same heat as Terry in 2005. Michael Abdullah represented Japan in WSM 1997 and 1998, but he wasn't originally from there. i found the chinese dude on wikipedia, in heat 2 with terry http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_World's_Strongest_Man but they don't have the 2006 heats/qualifiers on youtube, damn | |||

| I was just wondering why the vast majority of strongmen at WSM level are mostly white males, and I have never seen an oriental strongman. Powerlifting and olympic weightlifting is fairly popular in Japan and China, although I don't recall seeing any superheavies from out there. Are there any big chinese dudes doing strongman? | |||

| Moved house this morning so trained in the afternoon instead. Weigh in: 95 kg Bench Press: 50 kg x 5 62.5 kg x 5 75 kg x 5 87.5 kg x 5 102.5 kg x 3 75 kg x 15 (failure) My triple on 102.5 kg wasn't that bad, I could have done a 4th, but not a 5th I reckon. Squat: 60 kg x 5 72.5 kg x 5 87.5 kg x 5 102.5 kg x 5 120 kg x 3 87.5 kg x 20! The triple on 120 kg was done fairly strictly, all the way down and with a straight back, no long pauses. The 20 repper on 87.5 kg was pretty bad, but not as bad afterwards as i thought 20 reps would be, i probably was only just hitting parallel for this in my opinion. A couple of guys in front of me were talking about how strong and built their mate was. When one of them said how his mate could shoulder press 27.5 kg DB's, I snorted with laughter and nearly dropped the bar haha. I also controlled my urge to go over there and do presses with &rt; 27.5 kg DBs haha Pendlay rows: 45 kg x 5 57.5 kg x 5 65 kg x 5 77.5 kg x 3 57.5 kg x 8 Easy, just working 100% on keeping form Standing Dumbell presses (strict one arm unless stated otherwise): LHS & RHS: 22.5 kg x 5, 32.5 kg x 5, 32.5 kg x 5 Push Press LHS: 37.5 kg x 3, 37.5 kg x 3 Pleased with this Push Press RHS: 37.5 kg x 3, 37.5 kg x 4, failed 5th, 42.5 kg x 1, 45 kg (Fail) went for my old PB of 42.5 kg on RHS, it literally flew up with leg drive, unlike the hard grind on the triceps it was last time. Was feeling confident about 45 kg, but completely failed that. Dips: Some bugger lost the dipping belt, so I had to get my rucksack out and fill it with plates: BW x 20 +16 kg x 8 +26 kg x 6 Wide Grip Pull ups: Am changing my stratergy and going for 25 reps in as few sets as possible: 9,6,6,4 Decent session I think | |||
