    Waste of a session.

    bench

    20x2x5, 50x5, 60x5, 70x4, 80x5,5,7

    Too light.
    Bit overzealous with the reset. And I kept slipping up the bench when I was setting up my awesome arch.
    Gonna progress linearly from here with 2x5 and a set for reps. Meh.

    Pendlay rows

    something x10
    60x5
    65x5x5

    Yeah.

    Shrugs

    80x5,10

    To see how the felt.

    Thingy press for abs wotsit

    5 plates x2 x15

    Each side.

    DB Swings

    25x3x10

    Derp.

    Hollow position
    45sec
    2x30sec

    Will probably keep this as an exercise.

    I don't even feel like eating.
    Waste of a session.
    I need a training plan, quick smart.

    when are you testing your squat?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,025 ✭✭✭d'Oracle


    when are you testing your squat?

    Friday or Saturday.
    More likely saturday.

    Did you stick to the 4 day plan with smolov or did you spread this out more?

    I spread it out over 3 days.
    Usually Monday, Wednesday, Friday/Saturday.
    I think I did four days the first week before I had that allergic meltdown.

    It may not be the russian way, but I also have life.

    Interesting. I'd like to try Smolov soon together with a benching intensive programme (smolov jr?). However, between work/girlfriend/hobbies/social life I don't think I could guarantee being in the gym 4 times a week for a month. Could maybe aim for 4 times a week but be happy with a minimum of 3 times.

    Depends on how much of a hardcore badass you are.

    I found a few days that the Smolov workout took so long and so much out of me that a bit of biceps was all I could fit in/manage after. Certainly bench intensive would not have happened during the last week.

    But people like Hanley and Drifter seem to chew up exercises every day on it.
    I dunno.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,025 ✭✭✭d'Oracle


    When I say **** you say house.

    Squat

    20x3x5, 60x5, 100x3, 130x2, 140x1,
    150x1 PR
    155xFail

    By fail I mean I was unable to exert the necessary force to make the bar move from the bottom position of the squat.
    I wanted 160. This basically means I got 7.5 kilos out of a month of smolov.
    No excuses. Not a happy bunny.

    Press

    20x2x5, 30x5, 40x3, 50x2
    57.5x8x3

    I pressed some weight over head a number of times.

    HAmmer curls

    7.5xsomething
    15x3x10

    Maybe more next time or something.

    Chins

    Some not many.

    In other news the stallion(a kid of italian heritage I have mentioned before) was deadlifting today. He was gonna do arm after pulling 210.
    I told him he had more (it flew up). He did 215.
    I told him he had more if he kept it closer to his legs.
    He Pulled 230. 20kg pr for him.
    So I was of some ****ing use today.

    It shattered me.
    I might give it a shot.
    But if I'm that weak It might be wiser to just get training.
    Seeing as I'm looking at doing the CF total in December.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,025 ✭✭✭d'Oracle


    I don't know what I'm doing, I don't know what I'm doing, la laa laa la.

    Cleans
    Hang power: 20x10, 40x5
    Power: 50x5, 60x3, 70x3, 75x3
    Power Clean and Split Jerk: 80x2x1

    Deadlift

    100x5, 120x2, 140x1, 150x1, 160x1 PR
    170x5xF
    140x5

    CLean pulls

    100x2

    Should have had a stab at 165, I reckon I could have pulled 160 twice.
    The 170 just wouldn't move, which could be either a combination of something wrong and tiredness, or just me being weak.

    Either way I'm ****ing knackered Up late and working early. I went in with no expectations and enjoyed the pulling.

    Press

    20x10, 30x5, 50x3, 52.5x3, 57.5x3, 60x3,
    62.5x3,3,2

    Sort of going for a volume & heavy split on this, for no good reason.
    Might just go back to 2x5, 1xreps.
    Dunno.

    I did a lot of jawing today.
    Actually had a good time.

    Its a 5 kg PR, and I wanted 170.
    I should be able for 170 if I can squat 150, but tae hell its progress and it looks like the Deadlift is going to always be the hard road for me so yeah, I'm pretty happy.

    Nah, I had been talking to the stallion about oly lifting and BW power cleans. Then when I was stripping the bar after the deads I just wanted to see how high it would go. Keep an eye out for shrugs.;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,025 ✭✭✭d'Oracle


    I "overdid" it on Wednesday.

    Also The Bonanza of rugby will stop me training tomorrow.
    So I have to train tonight.

    FUN FUN.

    Not anyone who I trust to know.

    I know something is wrong.
    Possibly more than just one thing.
    Just don't know what, something like lower back not setting properly.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,025 ✭✭✭d'Oracle


    All Sorts of Messin.

    Front Squat

    20x2x5, 50x5, 60x3, 70x3, 90x1, 100x1
    110xQ*

    90x5x3

    *Is for quit. Entirely sure that I could have put more into that squat.
    Got down there, pushed, felt heavy wasn't arsed. Abandoned the impromptu front squat test. Rest was grand.

    Press

    20x10, 30x5, 40x3, 50x2
    60x8x3

    Pressing stuff.
    Last rep was slow and horrible, cos I rushed into the last set most likely.

    Pendlay rows

    60x5, 65x5, 67.5x3x5

    Grand.

    Curls

    20x10
    30x8,10

    These aren't getting stronger.
    Sort of super setted with the last row sets.

    __________________________________________________________

    I'm working on a plan. Not sure how it will pan out.
    The Gut has kind of lost control.
    I'm actually a bit bothered about it now, so I am looking to start loosing some fat. Whilst maintaining strength.

    But the strength element is going to be influenced by the IProgrammes.
    Actually there may be a bit in conditioning stuff too.
    And that is the last I will mention about that.

    Have to make up my mind as to if I do the CF total and if so, if I will start defatting after or ASAP......I do see the difficulty of starting to cut coming up to christmas.:D:p

    Dont mean to spam your log d'Oracle but what type of program to you have in mind for the cut? Are the IProgrammes the ones on the Informed Performance site which i find so confusing?

    k thx bye

    Questions are cool, not spam at all.

    2 Strength days.
    2 conditioning/cardio days.

    Strength will be of similar structure to how I understand (or misunderstand the Strength sessions on IP)
    Two alternating sessions. High intensity but lower volume.
    Probably A) Heavy DL, back assistance, abs, Heavy OH Press, chins, other stuff.

    B) Heavy Squat, Hamstring assistance, abs, Heavy Row, Light bench, other stuff.

    Conditioning will be some mix of interval blocks (rower, kettlebell/dumbell conditioning blocks or hillsprints.) And workblocks & crossfit workouts.
    Maybe not 4 every time. Depends, its gonna be hard but free in the wind.

    And diet.
    But don't do what I do.
    I'm a right goon.

    Will Heffernan has a video up on YouTube explaining how the Strength blocks work.
    Thats as much help as I can offer you to understand, maybe ask someone who trains there.

    Ah yeh Will's video explains it nicely, cheers dude. Planning on a cut after christmas to get lean for fuseball but I've been curious about IP and crossfit recently.

    My belly is definately increasing in size along with my arms and shoulders but a few weeks of paleo and a switchup in workout in the new year will hopefully remedy it! :confused:

    GOMAD ftw.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,025 ✭✭✭d'Oracle

    Having done 3 months of GOMAD, I can honestly say its unadulterated mentalsim.:D

    Hah, I'm in a pretty similar boat. It'd be nice to have cut some before the CF thing but I'll be happier trying to aim for better numbers at it I guess. I'm thinking christmas is the perfect time to cut, though. May as well be at most strict when temptation will be most abundant, heh.
    This post was definitely spam in your log, sorry.

    What is your bodyweight nowadays following smolov and GOMAD?

    105 and change last time I was on the scales. :p
    I suspect I might be a bit heavier though, I certainly look like it.

    Although I should point out that Before I started GOMAD (December 2009) I was 85kg having done nowt but metcon and bodyweight stuff at home for a few months. Didn't like how I looked.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,025 ✭✭✭d'Oracle


    Comment on workout.

    Squat

    20x2x5, 60x5, 90x3, 110x2
    130x3x3

    These were hard.
    Technical problems. Not sure which but more reps wouldn't have helped.

    Goodmornings
    60x3x8

    Plank

    3x45sec

    Superset. Maybe Good mornings are wrong. My hamstrings are like fecking cables.

    Press

    20x10, 30x5, 40x3, 50x2
    63x3, 64x3, 65x4,3,3

    Grand I suppose. The 65 sets felt a little heavy.
    Wasn't really pushing.

    Pendlay Rows

    60x5, 65x4x5

    Shrugs

    90x2x8

    Hammer Curls

    15x3x10

    Sort of got bored.
    I never wrote down what I had planned to do.

    I have basically cut the excess food down.
    Although I think it might be wiser to introduce the conditioning load over a week of two. Kind of ease it in after strength sessions before crashing into longer sessions. Or something.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,025 ✭✭✭d'Oracle


    ****ing shambles.

    Deadlift

    50kg Powe clean x 3
    60kg power clean x3

    60kgx2x5
    100kgx5
    130x3
    140x3, 145x2x3
    140x3

    I did some off the rack and some out of it.
    Its easier to get into a better setup position if I it out of the rack when its light.
    But that is of no odds really. My deadlift is entirely ****ed. I cannot maintain a straight/arched/whatever back when the weight is anyway heavy. Its ****ing gayballs. I also have trouble getting into a good setup position for a bar on the ground. My back just bends and I have no ****ing idea what to do about it.

    So I'm gonna try re-building the deadlift session and taking a massive step back. As in, to a weight that I can lift right and build very gradually back up..... that said I have no idea what assistance will help this. I assume something like back extensions...

    Walking lunges supersetted with Hollows

    40kgx3x8
    3x45sec

    Chins

    Green band x2x8
    Blue band x4,4,5

    ****ing feeble too.
    Although I know this is cos I'm fat.
    Also another rep cam out of the last set so possibly I was doing them a bit ****. Bit embarrassing doing these but **** other people.

    Bench

    60kgx4x8

    Nothing. Just practicing or something.

    Natural Reverse Hyper ssw OH Plate Tricep extensions

    10,10,15
    10x10, 15x2x15.

    Not sure why I'm doing extensions.
    Need to rethink this.
    Hypers were done with a Bench, a smith machine and a Swiss ball.
    Worked alright, might even be able to use bands to add resistance.

    As usual any comments herein contained may be coming out of my ass.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,025 ✭✭✭d'Oracle


    Mighty Cooty Fiyo.

    Squat

    20x2x5, 60x5, 100x3, 110x2
    130x3, 132.5x3, 135x3, 137.5x2, 135x3

    Grand, felt better than last week.
    Still werent great though. Lifting my chest a bit out of the hole which is obviously slowing things down.

    Goodmornings and Planks

    65x3x8
    3x60sec

    Supersetted.
    Not sure these good mornings were right, felt like they work.

    Press

    20x10, 30x5, 40x3, 50x2
    60x3, 65x3, 66x3, 67.26x3,
    70x1 PR
    71x1 PR

    67.whatever felt good so I decided that I wanted to get this 70kg hoodoo monkey off my back.

    Pendlay Rows

    65x4x5

    Very distracted by a fellow who was asking me questions about lifts.
    Obviously being the stirling bloke I am, I advised him as best I could.
    But ran out of time to do curls.

    Deadlift

    60x2x5, 100x5, 120x5, 120x2x3, 130x2x3, 120x2x3(from Rack)

    I was basically taking on an off my belt almost at random.
    Bent on some reps, but the two sets done from the rack helped.
    The 120s still felt kind of heavy strangely, but I'm starting to think it might be a mobility thing. 130 triples were strangely hard.
    Basically my back sucks.

    SLDL
    60x8, 80x3x8


    Standing Pulldown abs

    5plates x 2x10 6platesx12

    The 80kg SLDLs were supersetted with the Pulldown abs.
    No idea what the plates weigh on the lat pulldown.
    SLDL can and will get heavier next week.

    Chins

    Green bandX8
    Blue band x3x5
    Blue band x4

    Some of the blue band ones were nearly harder than bodyweight....

    Bench

    65x2x8

    Natural Reverse Hyper

    2x10

    Superset bench and reverse hyper.
    Meant to do 3 supersets but ran out of time.

    This session is intended to be an assault on my back to try and get it strong enough to take heavy deadlifts like a ****ing man and not arch my back. Wanted to add that plontoff press or whatever but had no time.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 21,981 ✭✭✭✭Hanley


    Would ya not just do SLDL's and RDL's for a while and working on getting greater ROM each time? Get a better deadlift position by essentially loaded stretching?

    I wish to subscribe to your news letter.

    Problem with RDL's is I'm not sure I get them.
    I have read a bit on both. The SLDL I can understand, Legs stiff, arse up, movement is more or less entirely hip movement.

    But the RDL, is it just a deadlift from the top down?
    So I stop where the arch starts to go and hope this gets lower every time?
    What about loading?

    RDLs are weird tbh. Think of an SLDL as bending forward from the hips, whereas with an RDL your hips just go back and you keep the bar as close as possible.

    The actual mechanics of both don't really matter that much for what I'm talking about. Just start a deadlift at the top, don't bend your legs too much and try to get the bar lower every time you do it while still maintaining your arch.

    As for loading... whatever floats your boat!! Just make sure you're working.

    Thanks chief.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,863 ✭✭✭kevpants


    Deadlift variations are much kinder to me than regular deadlifts as well. I'm currently pulling sumo (you should try this it's fun, a bit different and you won't be able to lift as much so it won't knacker you) and pulling conventional off a concrete block (once again decreased loading but increased ROM).

    I find these are much easier than conventional deadlifting all the time. If you can increase your lifts in some of the different variations it follows that your deadlift will be better. RDL's and SLDL's + rack pulls would also be valid variations you could use.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,025 ✭✭✭d'Oracle


    Hungry and not really that up for it.

    Squat
    20x2x5, 60x5, 100x3, 110x2
    140x5,3,3,2

    The 140x5 is a rep PR I Suppose. ****ing smoked it too.
    Then got steadily ****ter on 3rd reps.
    Probably could have gotten a bit more in but was opening my back angle and making it very hard for myself. Either way, it was pleasant to get a good solid 5 there.

    Superset of
    Goodmorning and Static Lunges

    65x3x8
    22.5kg DB x3x10 (5 each side)

    Now. Glute tastic, lower back tastic.

    Press

    20x10, 40x5, 50x3,
    65x2x4, 62.5x4

    Need to sort out progression here.
    But I didn't feel much strong here.

    Pendlay rows

    67.5x4x5

    Had to leave a set and some assistance cos herself came to do cardio.
    Noone should have to do 2 hours of cardio....:D
    It will teach her to come along with me though. I might do some band curls now....

    Got home too late to be arsed going to the gym.
    General not arsedness meant I sat around for 15 min before deciding to just test drive my Vibrams.

    So I ran about 3k with a couple of short sprints and a break after 1.5k
    Didn't feel particularly taxing.

    Running in vibrams feels pretty good.
    Very different with the forefoot strike and all.

    Wouldn't call any of it training though.
    Just a little introduction to get the screaming calf DOMS, which I will inevitably feel tomorrow, out of the way.

    RDLs are weird tbh. Think of an SLDL as bending forward from the hips, whereas with an RDL your hips just go back and you keep the bar as close as possible.

    The actual mechanics of both don't really matter that much for what I'm talking about. Just start a deadlift at the top, don't bend your legs too much and try to get the bar lower every time you do it while still maintaining your arch.

    As for loading... whatever floats your boat!! Just make sure you're working.
    Its news to be RDL and SLDLs are different. Always assumed they were the same!

    In relation to deadlfits, I'm finding rack pulls are really showing up a weak back. I suggest you try and focus some energy on them if you've a chance.

    Cheers but there is a huge problem with my start, so Rack Pulls aren't the answer for now.
    I'm treating the SLDL as an assistance movement to engage the glutes more.

    Half session.

    Late in work and arsed around too long at home.

    RDL

    Barx10, 60x2x5, 100x5
    110x5, 120x5, 130x4, 140x3, 130x5

    Sort of got to upper shin, just as the quads takeover.
    But got hard to stay. Basically only the first 140 rep was really good, the others bowed a bit.

    SLDL and Standing Pulldown Abs

    90x3x8
    6plates x2x12
    7platesx1x12

    Not sure the PDA's were very good. Think I was holding my back arch a bit. Only really thought about it after.

    Pendlay Rows

    70x7,5,5

    Done because I wouldn't have time for my chin workout and wont be able to get over tomorrow.
    Bad Idea after all that hip work....:p

    ****ing gutting to train tonight.

    Lil warmup

    Squat

    20x3x5, (First of which was Wide-like-westside)
    60x5, 90x3, 100x2
    120x5x5

    Grand. Felt strange. Little unsettled form wise.

    Good Mornings and Static Lunges

    70x3x8
    22.5kg DBs 3x5 each leg.

    Press

    20x10, 30x5, 40x3,
    55x5x5

    Power Cleaned up.
    Peesapiss.

    Pendlay Rows and Hammer Curls

    60x3x8
    12.5x3x12

    Pendlays might be light. Not sure how to play them.
    Curls were a bit light cos I havenae done them in a bit.
    Pumpalicious.

    This was the first day of my new plan which I have mainly designed myself and is destined to fail miserably. But it means I will be walking into the gym with an idea of what to do, so awesome.

    why is it going to fail?

    why is it going to fail?

    Cos I designed it and I am a Randomer/Housewife/Idiot/Internet Nerd.
    Durrr.;)

    then why run it if you have no faith in it?

    Seriously? why not look at one of the tried and tested programs?

    How can I have faith in them?
    Literally everything in fitness and strength training is wrong.
    Have you not realised that?

    So I designed my own programme from all the many wrong programmes I have encountered.

    I am really only messing though.
    I think it will work.
    I just don't know for sure, only one way to find out.

    Move on up by Curtis Mayfield is the most inspirational song ever.
    There.
    I said it.

    Romanian Deadlift

    20x5, 60x5, 100x5, 120x5
    130x5, 135x5, 140x3, (belt)2

    Probably take 135 as 5rm and wave up from that.
    Getting a bit more solid now.
    But the 140s were a challenge to my arch.

    SLDL and Pull down abs

    100x3x8
    8 platesx3x12

    Still not sure if the abs are done right.
    Sldl will probably stay at that next week.

    Chins

    Green Band x8
    Blue Band x7,5,5,2,3,2,4 = 26.

    Need a little more rest and Ill bang 25 out in 5s.
    Just ascending rep targets at the moment. 30 next week...

    Bench & Poltoff Press

    60x8, 65x2x8
    plate 7x8 each side
    plate 8x2x8 each side.

    Couldn't get at the cable crossover so the Poltoff just wasn't right.
    Couldnt get a db bench.

    Did International Chest and Triceps day get moved to saturday?
    Did I miss the memo or something?
