| Deadlift worked up to 190kgx2 belt off 150kgx5setsx3reps Axle Stiff Leg S/S Neutral Grip Pull Ups 140kgx2x8reps 15kgx2x8reps Good Mornings S/S BB Rows 100kgx2x8reps 100kgx2x8reps Pull Down Abs 3x10reps Just about to leave and got pulled into benching by two of the lads Close Grip worked up to 120kgx1 Incline 100kgx3-PB?-easy Press Downs 2x8reps-light Inclines didn't bother my shoulder at all. I am not motivated at all at the moment, I just seem to be going through the motions, I can't seem to settle on a goal. Part of me just says gain weight and put some mass on and the other part says get fit and healthy. I really can't be chewed pratting about with bands and boards and all that at the moment.... I don't know fat and tanned sounds more appealing than cardio and conditioning work....Might have to stretch my funds to the absolute limit and see what I end up weighing in at. | |||

| Close Grip Bench 50kgx5 60kgx5 80kgx1 100kgx4-PB?-easy though 120kgx1-easy 140kgxfail-should shat the bed! Standing Behind the next press 40kgx10 50kgx8 40kgx12-bradford press Rolling DB Extensions 25kgx8setsx8reps Done! Shoulder was fine all the way up until the 140kg, lowering the weight down to the chest and it gave out completely. I feel like if my shoulder doesn't play up, it will go for sure! Behind the neck press didn't bother it at all and felt really comfy, and the bradford press felt great. | |||

LessThanLuke said: He fought Brian Stann too. He looked awesome but Stanns ground game is poor so not sure how much you can take from that fight. I forgot about the Stann fight. That's true Stann has never been known for his ground skills. | |||

martinb said: what most people forget is sure his test was at a certain amount at the time of the fight, but how high was it in the months before, when he was doing the training that set the last performance up? going by his lacklustre subsequent performances, I'm guessing, quite high! Maybe so, but without random drug testing, it's quite possible for him to have the majority of his camp with high levels. I just can't see him coming in and making a poor showing of himself as he did against Bisping (his only fight since Silva). No matter how much I try, I can't say I'm looking forward to Tito vs Forrest. | |||

kirkynick said: Silva has proved himself over and over again, so I don't quite agree with you on that. Yes, I know some of his fights have been boring, but so have some of his opponents' gameplans. Silva by knockout! Sonnen hopefully wins though  I'm not saying proving himself as a fighter, I mean against Sonnen. He got dominated for 4 and a half rounds against him. Now Sonnen is registered for TRT he can legally have a T:E ratio of 6:1 by the rules of the Nevada State Athletic Commision(it might be even higher) I don't think we are going to see Sonnen coming in with low test like people are expecting. He only tested 1/10 higher than the average man in their first fight. If Sonnen wins, I expect him to offend just about everybody lol | |||

| Today I am sore as hell! Think a few days to rest and recover are needed. Saw a friend of mine today who will be going the YNE Open and Jnr Championships in November. I am giving this some serious consideration, it's been 2 years since I competed at the Bodypower Expo. I am penciling it in. Should have a definite answer on Friday! | |||

| Potential fight of the year! I see Sonnen grinding out a 5 round decision, though I think he is in for a tough time with a furious Silva. In my view Sonnen has nothing to lose and everything to gain, where Silva is the one who needs to prove himself. I just don't see Silva stopping Sonnen from taking him down, smothering him and working his game plan. I do think however that Sonnen won't have as many chances to take him down because Silva is going to be throwing kicks and punches with bad intentions. Chael won't be looking to make a mistake like last time, I expect to see him being more careful on the ground with where he puts his limbs. Plus I hope Chael wins so we get to hear a hilarious winners speach! The guy has some of the best lines going! | |||

PeteHodgson said:Very strong. No DC and gomad anymore? Also your shoulder problem sounds very similar to mine. It's annoying! Effects bench but not overhead.  To be honest my heart has never been in training to look a certain way, I was clutching at straws and getting too off course with something like DC. As for gomad, I will still be drinking the required amount of milk. Mainly to replace the daft amount of redbull and the cheap versions I drink (8 cans a day on average). My shoulder seems to be more effected when I pull my shoulder blades together, if I shrug to set up instead, it is effected alot less. I am 90% certain it's to do with the tightness in my right trap and right side of my neck. I suck at overhead pressing anyway so it is definitely a good thing I spend some time working on it. I think a lot of it is confidence for me with pressing. | |||

| A friend of mine, who is a competitive bodybuilder as well as respected in the Teesside area for his knowledge on nutrition has come up with a diet for me to help with the weight gain. I have to admit, diet has always been the part I struggle with the most, so it is great to be getting help with it now. The diet is junk food free (I love junk food!). I am determined to stick to it, word for word, because he has taken the time and effort to help me (plus he is a big bugger too lol). | |||

| I suck at squatting without a belt and I suck even more without wraps, and off a box is just terrible so.... 14inch Box squats (no wraps or belt) 60kgx3 80kgx3 100kgx3x5-45-60secs rest between sets Hips and glutes felt pumped up! Pull Down Abs s/s Face Pulls 45kgx6 30kgx15 50kgx3setsx6reps-PB? 35kgx3setsx15reps 57.5kgx8-PB 40kgx10 Calf Raises 75kgx10 90kgx8 112.5kgx6 70kgx20 BB Curls 1x20, 1x10 I wanted to try a WOD today so chose Grace. All the bars were in use so grabbed the axle 60kgx5, stopped, a lad who I share a mutual distain walked into the gym. Our Hate for each other has been known to turn violent on multiple occasions. As I train in the gym I work in, losing my temper would have been extremely costly so Axle Deadlifts (why is deadlift my go to exercise?!) 190kgx1 240kgx1-HUGE PB!I won't lie, this was one ugly lift, add to the fact I hadn't took my belt and had to use an old york belt that was lieing around. So now I have managed to do more on an axle than I have on a crappy normal bar (which it's self is thicker than it should be). This makes me think I have a good chance at pulling even more on a normal bar....All I need is that crettin to be there and it's PB City! | |||

| Bench Press 60kgx5 70kgx5 80kgx3 90kgx1 100kgx1 110kgxBailed at the bottom, shoulder was agony! Rolling DB Extensions 20kgx5setsx8reps 25kgx3setsx8reps 30kgx8 Machine Lat Raises s/s Cable Extensions 3setsx20reps 4setsx10reps 1setx10reps DB Hammer Curls 25kgx3setsx15-20reps Shoulder has thrown me off again! Seems I am ok with push press and speed bench but anything over 100kg is murder. So I will do speed work as normal and instead of bench I will do push press then loads of pink and fluffy machine work for triceps, pecs and shoulders....Best I can do with a crap situation. I have a feeling it's down to a tight trap, every time I pull my shoulder back I get a tight feeling in my trap and neck. Will kill some stretches and work with what I can do for now | |||

| Deadlifts 60kgx5 100kgx5 140kgx3-slow as hell for some reason  Did not want to waste any more energy if this was going to be a shocking session 205kgx3-PB- Having thought back I deadlifted on Wednesday and multiple times each week for the last month or so! Stiff Leg Deads with Axle 100kgx5 140kgx5 160kgx5-Axle PB 180kgx3-Axle PB 200kgx1-PB, Never pulled this on a normal bar nevermind an axle! Push Press (spurr of the moment thing) 60kgx3 70kgx3 80kgx1 Haven't done these for about a year and this matched my PB, easy as hell, will slowly up them and hopefully hit something respectable! Pulldown Abs 35kgx8 45kgx8 57.5kgx8-PB? Then went to my mates and drank all day...Might not have been the best idea! I definitely need to start squatting every week again. | |||

| Bench vs Bands Pausing the last rep on every set 3 grips 70kgx6setsx3reps 80kgx4setsx3reps Between every set I did rotator cuff work, internal and external, both arms. I am alot stronger at internal rotation than external. This needs fixing. One Arm Standing DB Press 22.5kgx2setsx10reps Face Pulls Plate 11x3setsx15reps BB Curls s/s Skull Crushers 30kgx3setsx15reps for both Band Extensions s/s CG Bench x3setsx10 50kgx3setsx15 Dynamic day assistance work will be light and for want of a better term, pink and fluffy. I wanted to get some pull ups in but it was in use for awhile and I didn't want to stand around and wait so just got on with it. Tried a few different movements to see what bothered my shoulder. Shoulder held up pretty well, it might even be a possitive thing that it is alittle banged up as I managed to unrack the bar more efficiently which can only be a good thing. As my sets of dynamic bench went on, my shoulder felt better and better, I can only put this down to the rotator cuff work I did between sets. | |||
