Post Edited: 15.02.2016 @ 12:20 PM by Floobler 15/02/16 - MondayLower back/core was still in bits from Saturday so decided to do some squat variations instead to lighten the load on the bar Pause squat (about a 2 count pause) 60kg x 5 80kg x 5 100kg x 3 120kg x 3 140kg x 3 155kg x 3 PB 165kg x 2 PB 165kg x 2 Front squat (haven't done these in several months) 100kg x 5 110kg x 5 120kg x 5 PB Lying leg curls 100lbs x 10 110lbs x 10 120lbs x 10,10,10 Calf press (on leg press machine) 100kg x 10 110kg x 10 120kg x 10 130kg x 10 140kg x 9 Another confidence building session today, hit some nice PBs and they were all comfy with at least 1 rep in the tank. Think I'll skip deadlifts for this week's back day and replace them with squats to get one last heavy squat workout in before comp a week on Saturday. | |||

| » Thor deadlift pb (Go to post) | 09-02-2016 @ 17:40 | ||
| He says its a training PB, implying it was less than 450kg. Either way though the dude is looking like a monster, could be a dark horse for the Arnolds this year | |||

| 09/02/16 - Tuesday Strict press Bar for a couple of sets 40kg x 5 50kg x 3 60kg x 3 70kg x 3 75kg x 3,3,3,3,3,3 Very happy, only ever done 1 set of 3 with 75kg before today. Plus back was in bits from yesterday's deadlifts, so there's definitely more there fresh. Was beat after this so just did a bunch of isolation work for shoulders to finish off Upright rows 4x8-10 Lateral raises 3x8 Facepulls 5x10-12 Reverse pec dec 3x10-12 Training is going great, feeling unstoppable atm. Think I'm gonna enter Rotherham's strongest man U105 as well, the weights are very heavy for me but I'm hoping that'll help me keep my focus in training | |||
