» What music do you like? (Go to post)19-12-2006 @ 18:55 
Tastes change with the moods, I've got everything from Mozart to Metallica. Currently playing Texas Red Book quite a lot and the best of Duran Duran !
When I'm drunk I sing along to the Backstreet Boys and Enrique, but not at the same time.
Its a miracle I haven't been arrested Tongue

Training with the Boar in the Boars Shed, which was both an honour and a priviledge in equal measure.

The weights were slightly barmy as they were in pounds and we converted to kilos on the fly...and I cant remember what I lifted !
Anyway, I did about 140x5, about 180x5, about 200x3, about 210x3 and finished with 220.5x3. The bar was ever so slightly horrible and the knurling hurt my hands, but such is life.

Bent Over Rows, a very risky pastime with the Boar lurking behind you !!!
We used about 70kg for 4 sets of 10, 10, 8, 10.

Finished with Barbell Curls, 40kg plus the bar, 4, 6, 5, 5. The first set was strange, it felt very heavy for some reason.

The Boar shot some interesting footage, which will no doubt make an appearance at some point.

Weight now 18 stone 9 pounds. My weight isn't a target in itself, its just a by product of my training and diet but I do monitor it regularly.

Next session Wednesday, Bench, Overheads and Triceps.

Wednesday would be Bench and OHP Rob, so would fit right in.
I might also be up for some Deads on the Sunday so please keep me posted with your plans and I'll try and join in unless the "family" have other plans for my time !
Cheers mate.

That is definitely the most unflattering pic I have ever seen of me !!!
Your a nasty man.
Training over the festive period will be pretty hit and miss !
Next Monday and Wednesday are for definite, and next Friday definitely not because its my last Scottish visit before Christmas.
Monday is Christmas Day, so will be off but the Wednesday should be on...and the following Friday I will be in Scotland again !

Meanwhile I have started my mild cardio...2 miles Running nice and steady. Didn't time it but nice and easy to break back into my running regime. Legs getting tight as I speak...and tomorrow is Deadlifts so I might live to regret this !!!

By popular request from my adoring fans - honestly, Rick DID actually ASK !!!
Here is my training journal.

Ok, well, erm I haven't actually trained today.
But, I thought I would start with where I am and where I am going...

I've been into Bodybuilding ( shock, horror, how very dare he mention THAT on a PL forum ) since my mid teens but never lifted "heavy", always working in the higher rep ranges with moderate weights. Late last year I became interested in getting stronger and started training a 5x5 routine. I was weighing around 17 stones at the time.

In May this year I was 20 stone 4 pounds and made PB's of 200/170/210 -ie still not very heavy but surprisingly this was considerably more than I was lifting before.

I then had a "forced break" from training due to relocation of my business and ended up having about a 2 month lay off. I then got back at it with a passion, made myself a member of Reps Gym in Preston and started training 3 sessions a week with Jonny Wildboar ( which I can confirm is, in fact, a completely made up name ).

Anyhow, I attempted new PB's about 3 weeks ago and made 220/160/240 at a bodyweight of 19 stone 4 pounds - a stone lighter than I was in May and the Bench Press had gone backwards.

My targets for year end were, and still are, 250/180/250 but I have to be realistic and state that at least two of them are not going to happen given the time remaining. Instead I am looking at revised targets of 227.5 Squat, 170 Bench and 250 Deadlift.

In addition, I am now 18 stone 11 pounds - due mainly to excessive amounts of cardio with a young, and very passionate, text happy Scottish Girl. Sadly, due to the distance between us, sniff, sniff, most of the calories are being expended through the actions of my thumb on my mobile phone keypad...

So anyway, where am I going ?
The truth is I don't really know and never really have.
But generally to lift more and weigh less. I am "lucky" genetically and would find it quite easy to weigh considerably more, but I'm not into the Power Belly type look. Years of Bodybuilding have imprinted the wide shoulders, narrow waist image in my mind and I don't really want to stray too far from that appearance, whilst trying to make my lifts competive for my weight.

So thats me, and as of Monday this will be a record of my training. Feel free to drop in, pass comment and hurl abuse at any time Grin

I'm off to watch X Factor...

To grind out a Squat like that takes some bottle. Big respect to Mick for that one.

Decided it was high time I came aboard after the Rhino's Gym meet and spending the day with several members. Nice to see the board is doing so well, 27 members now !!! Hope there is room for a little 'un.
So, what do you wanna know ???
