Tony_Bonner said:Back from 2 weeks in Lanzarote, and off for a long weekend in the lakes on Friday. When I get back I'm sacking Wendler off for a bit and going to triples doubles and singles based on Prilepin's numbers. It looks effing horrific which is why I'm hoping it will work.....  How come you're dropping 5/3/1? | |||

Post Edited: 03.09.2012 @ 22:59 PM by VinnyJones Cycle 2 Week 3 Squats (5/3/1+)Rack Squats: 60kg x 5, 100kg x 5, 140kg x 3, 180kg x 3, 200kg x 3, 225kg x 3 Squats: 60kg 2 x 5, 100kg x 5, 125kg x 5, 140kg x 3, 147.5kg x 6, 147.5kg 2 x 3 More Squats: 87.5kg 5 x 10 Decline Sit Ups: 3 x 12 12mins HIT cardio on bike. Felt like crap going into the gym and felt crap under the bar. Hips and knees feeling a little beat up. Manned up and got on with it. Another squat rep PR and even some time for cardio. How you feel is sometimes a lie quite clearly. Missed my pre-workout shake and I think I felt it a little. Currently on a 10 day low carb stretch so I need to make sure I take my pre-WO s**t or I'll flounder. | |||

| I built a 55kg axle for £30 inc. proper olympic collars. Adding weight is simply a matter of cost. | |||

Post Edited: 28.08.2012 @ 21:53 PM by VinnyJones Cycle 2 Week 2 Press (3 x 3+)Press: 20kg x 10, 40kg x 5, 50kg x 3, 60kg x 3, 65kg x 7 Push Press: 70kg 5 x 5, 80kg x 1, 90kg x 1, 95kg x F, 100kg x 1 Trap Bar Shrugs: 105kg 3 x 10 CGBP: 20kg x 10, 40kg x 5, 55kg 5 x 10 Parallel Chins: Pin 10 5 x 5 Face Pulls: 30kg x 12, 45kg 5 x 12 Again another crappy day to go into the gym. Little sleep and s**te food yesterday. Payday to top up fridge tomorrow. Ended up with 2 PRs; the 7 reps at 65kg strict press and 100kg push press. Absolutely over the moon tbh. Been a few times I have gone for it but never quite made it. It makes it particularly pleasing that I hit it after missing 95kg. I just felt that there was something else extra to give and despite a slight wobble on the final push it was nailed right on. I was a little bit excited afterwards as you might tell from the video.

Post Edited: 28.08.2012 @ 14:05 PM by VinnyJones My lad who is 7 years old quite likes weight training. He likes watching strongman comps too so when I built the axle he was all over it like a rash.He bangs out 3 reps here... future star in the making I think? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMtIEZeX4tE | |||

| Cycle 2, Week 2 Squat (3x3+) Squat lockouts: 60kg x 5, 100kg x 5, 140kg x 5, 180kg x 3, 200kg x 3, 215kg x 3 Squats: 60kg x 5, 100kg x 5, 120kg x 3, 130kg x 3, 140kg x 10, 100kg 3 x 10 (60 seconds rest between sets) Leg Press: 80kg x 10, 120kg x 10, 140kg x 10, 170kg 2 x 10 Main lifts accomplished. Zero energy left for pretty much anything else of consequence. Felt pretty fried after the 3 x 10 squats. Crap night's sleep, session was fasted, did everything quickly. Another squat PR though so a productive session in that sense. | |||

Containsnuts said:Just read your story lol Bench ain't really gonna carry over to anything in strongman so you could drop it for close grip. Close grip will carry over to pressing So could be a good move. Keep mentally strong Sir reads as though your doing well but maybe beating yourself up! smalls steps right direction all good in my eyes! Good show It's reads like a Dear Deirdre letter lol. I think it's just one of those sessions at the end of a gruelling week. Feel better today hence doing a barbell complex session this morning. Good food, sound nights sleep (best all week) and plenty of fluids and I feel right as rain again. | |||

Post Edited: 24.08.2012 @ 22:43 PM by VinnyJones Good work mate. We're doing different programmes but putting down similar numbers it seems. I'm still so I'll be happy lifting the same as you when I am down to 102kg (ish) lol. | |||

| Cycle 2, Week 1 Bench (3x5+) Bench: 20kg x 10, 40kg x 5, 50kg x 5, 60kg x 5, 70kg x 12, 80kg x 1, 90kg x F, 90kg x 1 (verrrrry slow rep) Row: 50kg x 5, 70kg x 4, 60kg 5x5 DB Incline Press: 16kg x 10, 18.5kg 5 x 10 Seated Tricep Ext: 18.5kg 5 x 12 Seated Row: 60kg 3 x 15, 40kg 1 x 20 10 mins cardio on treadmill. Then some shoulder dislocations with an 8kg bar thingy. Okish session. I beat my reps on my main lift (bench) from last time but the more and more I do this the more and more I am thinking of relegating it to a standard 5x5 assistance type lift mainly because I just don't really care about it. I know a lot of people think that getting strong on the bench is a good thing for strongman stuff but there are plenty of them out there that don't do it at all. Not really going to drop it but perhaps there is another way to make better use of my time in the gym or make the most of having an extra rest day. Or this could just be one of those sessions where I'm feeling s**t; in which case I am to be ignored. Getting a new rep PR is no bad thing of course. Maybe I am expecting too much of myself. Disappointed with my rows; hit 70kg 5x5 easily last week. Could be something to do with the press BBB yesterday and deadlifts which hammered my back big time. Not going to beat myself up too much over not doing what I wanted but disappointed that the power had deserted me. Not only that but I'm still adapting to this low carb thingy so energy levels might take some time to adapt to the new state of play. I'll stick with it because I have lost fat which, again, is a good thing to take away from this week's training. A few PRs here and there this week despite calorie deficit, so I've gotten stronger, and fat loss to boot. Can't really ask for more than that. | |||

Post Edited: 24.08.2012 @ 18:57 PM by VinnyJones Cycle 2, Week 1 Ortameyer Deadlift RoutineDeadlift: 60kg x 10, 100kg x 5, 140kg 4 x 4, 160kg 2 x 2, 180kg 2 x 2, 140kg x 10 Trap Bar Deads: 115kg x 5, 155kg x 3, 195kg x 2, 225kg x 1 (PR) Press BBB: 50kg 5 x 10 Decline Sit Ups: 3 x 10 Couple of PRs today repwise and back is feeling a lot stronger. Occasionally feel it twinge ever so slightly but it's not painful. Need to make the most of rest days and get some more sleep and keep up with my rehab work. Was planning to do some seated rows and some direct arm work but I was pressed for time so that will have to wait until tomorrow. A 3 day week is getting closer on the cards now. | |||
