BigMacca said: He stuck a video up today of a fairly easy 217.5kg log. The clean was a little cumbersome, but the press was solid (and very quick) Just seen that on his Facebook, the press looked like a joke | |||

Post Edited: 08.02.2016 @ 18:36 PM by Floobler 08/02/16 - MondayDeadlift 70kg x 3,3 100kg x 3 130kg x 3 150kg x 3 170kg x 3 190kg x 5,5 - big PB, new 5RM and I did two sets! Plus the plates I were using were slightly smaller than normal so this was like a .5" deficit deadlift, max has to be 220kg+ right now Rack pull (height around 19-20", slightly lower than last time) 120kg x 3 170kg x 3 210kg x 3 240kg x 3 265kg x 1 - felt very heavy!! Tbf I think it's the heaviest weight I've ever moved in any shape or form Regret doing these, didn't feel I gained much from them and it might hamper my recovery for squats in two days :/ T-bar rows 25kg x 10 50kg x 10 70kg x 10 85kg x 10 PB 95kg x 8 PB Lat pulldown 130lbs x 10 150lbs x 10 165lbs x 8,8 PB DB preacher curls 10kg x 10 each arm 14kg x 7 each arm 14kg x 6 each arm 14kg x 6 each arm These seem to be a lot easier with my right arm :/ | |||

Post Edited: 06.02.2016 @ 21:14 PM by Floobler 06/02/16 - SaturdayFelt s**t today from a hard week and going to the gym straight from a 10 1/2 hour shift, so just did some light push press and a bunch of arm work Push press 60kg x 3 70kg x 3 80kg x 5,5,5 80kg x 8 - think this is a 1 rep PB, not bad considering how knackered I was Close grip pause bench 60kg x 4,4 80kg x 2 95kg x 7 PB 95kg x 7 95kg x 7/8 - lost count during set, so not sure if 7 or 8. Was a grinder last rep though! Pushdowns 120lbs x 12 150lbs x 10 180lbs x 8,8 Actually tend to feel these a lot in my chest, not really sure what tricep iso to go with at the mo Chin-ups Bodyweight x 10,10 Easy, would have added weight if I'd had my dip belt with me Preacher curls 25kg x 10 35kg x 5,5,5 DB curls 20kg's x 12,12 Time to rest, feel worn out atm | |||

Will work on it in the future GHR Bodyweight x 10 BW + red band x 10 BW + red & mini bands x 10 PB Calf raises 120kg x 12 140kg x 10 155kg x 8 165kg x 8 Brutal!

Post Edited: 03.02.2016 @ 18:01 PM by Floobler 02/02/16 - TuesdayStrict press Warm up 70kg x 5,5,5,5,5 - very happy, only ever done this weight for 1 set of 5 before Strict DB press 30kg's x 8 PB 32kg's x 5 32kg's x 5 Was tired by this point, the 5x5 on strict press really took it out of me. Just did some side raises and some rear delt work to finish. 03/02/16 - Wednesday Pause bench 60kg x 5 80kg x 5 90kg x 3 100kg x 3 110kg x 3,3,3 120kg x 2 PB Incline pause bench 60kg x 5 70kg x 5 80kg x 5 90kg x 5 97.5kg x 5 PB DB bench press 40kg's x 10,10,10 DB flies 20kg's x 10,10,10 Very happy with today, feel like a 130kg pause bench is there for the taking if I want it, but I've got my eyes set on bigger things Chest, shoulders and tris are done after the last two days of training, a much needed rest day tomorrow then squats on Friday | |||

Post Edited: 03.02.2016 @ 18:02 PM by Floobler Not logged the last couple of weeks, will try and get back into it.01/02/16 - Monday Deadlift Couple warm up sets 120kg x 3 140kg x 3 160kg x 3 180kg x 2 200kg x 2 PB 200kg x 2 190kg x 2 Rack pull (from just above knees) 120kg x 5 160kg x 5 200kg x 5 230kg x 5 250kg x 5 Did these because I fancy doing a comp where there's a 300kg deadlift for reps from 21". First time trying this, based on how they felt I could probably pull 300 for at least 1 from this height. T-bar rows 50kg x 5 75kg x 5 100kg x 5,5,5 PB Did some machine work to finish off upper back, decent session. | |||

19/01/16 Pause bench 60kg x 5 80kg x 5 90kg x 3 Add sleeves & wrist wraps 100kg x 2 107.5kg x 4 PB 107.5kg x 4 107.5kg x 4 100kg x 7 Pause incline bench 60kg x 3 80kg x 3 90kg x 5 90kg x 5 90kg x 5 90kg x 5 90kg x 5 Incline DB press 35kg's x 8 40kg's x 7 Left shoulder was bothering me so I stopped here Incline DB flies 15kg's x 15 15kg's x 15 Not bad, felt about 80-90% due to slight pain in left shoulder. Think I'll focus primarily on inclines for the next few bench sessions, hopefully will have a bit more carryover to overhead strength. | |||

Post Edited: 14.01.2016 @ 15:37 PM by Floobler 14/01/16Deadlift 70kg x 5 110kg x 3 135kg x 2 Add belt and straps 160kg x 2 180kg x 5 180kg x 5 180kg x 5 180kg x 5 180kg x 5 Barbell rows 70kg x 8 Add straps 90kg x 8 105kg x 6 PB 110kg x 6 PB T-bar rows 50kg x 12 70kg x 10 Add belt 80kg x 8 PB 90kg x 6 PB Lat pulldown 160lbs x 8 160lbs x 8 Switch to underhand grip 160lbs x 10 Some curls to finish off. Today was okay, deadlifts were hard towards the latter sets but got through it. On reflection it feels like I may have done a little too much fluff work towards the end of the session, think I'd be better off doing less movements and putting more into the heavy lifting. Also, seeing as it's my day off work and I was disappointed with Tuesday's pressing, I might squeeze in a bit of push pressing and benching tonight. I'll have to see how I feel. | |||

12/01/16 Strict press 40kg x 5 50kg x 5 60kg x 5 Add belt , elbow sleeves & wrist wraps 70kg x 5 PB 75kg x 3 75kg x 2 Close grip pause bench 50kg x 6 70kg x 4 Add elbow sleeves & wrist wraps 90kg x 2 105kg x 4 PB 105kg x 4 105kg x 4 90kg x 9 PB Strict standing DB press 22kg's x 8 Add belt 28kg's x 7 PB 28kg's x 8 PB Hammer strength incline press 40kg x 10 70kg x 10 90kg x 8 100kg x 6 107.5kg x 6 PB Facepulls 100lbs x 15 120lbs x 12 130lbs x 8 Lateral raises 16kg's x 12 16kg's x 12 16kg's x 12 Not bad I guess, second day in a row I've felt like crap in the gym. Not sure if it's because of this cold I've got or if I'm slightly overtrained. Either way, will try and have a small deload next week. In the meantime, time to rest up and eats lots of food to recover |
