    I would consider today awesome under usual circumstances, but to hit this with about 3 hours sleep and a bloated stomach was unbelievable
    ---
    Squats kicked ass BW, third set was weird tho, i had just finished 1 rep and was waiting at the top, when out of no where i started decending, didnt even get my breath, just went down, its like i forgot how to stand :confused:. i had no way of recovering so i dumped it, reset and banged out 5 more for good measure, maybe 30 sec rest between the 1 and the 5
    ---
    Deadlift got good, happy, hips stayed down for majority of lift
    ---
    Nearly at pr levels with this bench, which is confusing the crap out of me, i never have a good bench on Dl day. maybe its finally stopped its crappy decline :P
    ---
    Really felt the narrow grip rows, enjoy them
    ---
    Leg raises are getting easier, which can only be a good thing.

    who now??

    its a cable machine, one of my favorites actuallyseated_cable_row1.jpg this yokey, except i use a slightly narrower grip. I go in with the cable like he does and on the pull i lean back, not to use momentum as such, but to kind of get the lower back involved in the movement


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,462 ✭✭✭cardio,shoot me


    better include my lil bit of cardio for the day, 2k fast run home from the cinema in jeans and a hoody and a wooly hat, started lashing once i left the cinema :D, altho i really enjoyed it, was really out of breath. I might do more runs around this distance, i dont like sprinting or endurance running, but a 4min kilometre would be nice. i think these 2 where done under 12 minutes.

    Thats not a lateral row, or at least i wouldn't consider it to be, its a low pulley row with a nuetral grip, theres no real lateral movement

    If it were legal for you to do so, I'd tell the two of you to get a room.

    finally have no calf doms from monday so i will be going to the gym today, might think of 90kg on teh squat, who knows :P. For some reason i really wanna do a program thats just singles.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,462 ✭✭✭cardio,shoot me


    Low bar squat work
    Some reps, wide grip-killed my wrists as the bar kept rolling
    narrow grip- hurt my back muscles as it pinches a nerve, fun.

    Pendlay rows
    50kg -1x5
    55kg -1x5
    Big ass rom BoR
    65kg 3x8

    Shoulder press
    50kg 3x5 first rep as a push press ----PB

    pretty much it, for yesterday, was fun, wasnt overly exciting, i didnt squat high bar cause i found a rep at 80kg massivly hard, knew i wasnt gonna get it.


    Tonight:
    did a two hour kempo karate class, broke a good sweat, was fun.

    i wanna take up a fighting style and my friend does kempo so i tagged along, wanna try out a ground one now like bjj, or else judo, time to start browsing!

    Today, what in the hell happened :P

    Squats

    90kg 2x5 ---PB
    87.5 1x5
    ---
    Deadlifts
    110kg -1x9(This freaked me out big time)---PB
    first rep was conventional, the next 6 where very narrow sumo, elbows where touching knees like. The last 2 where the same stance as the sumos but hands on the outside.
    ---
    Bench Press
    67.5kg -2x4 1x5 (getting back to pb levels)
    ---
    Pull ups
    36 pull ups,

    3,3-Wide grip 4,4-Wide neutral grip 5,5-shoulder with grip 6,6 Chin ups very funny as all these sets where to failure, and they worked out like that!
    ---
    Thoughts:
    Great day.
    ---
    Squats where good, ugly tho, but would pass in a comp.
    ---
    No idea how deadlifts happened, the speed on the sumos and the wide conventionals was unbelievable, didnt hurt my back either, altho the conventional lift did :confused:
    ---
    Bench is getting better again, ass lifted off on two reps, one first set, one in the last set, but i would have gotten them anyway. fast reps, Enjoyed it.
    ---
    Pull ups where very decent, just wanted to do as many sets as i could and it ended up like that.
    ---
    Gonna try get out to a physio on my next day off. Wont be pulling until then.
    ---
    oh and to the ponce who found it necessary to fill up his whole 3 litre water bottle while doing his mountain of crunches, thanks for keeping me waiting....

    Wha??

    Thats kinda impossible man!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,462 ✭✭✭cardio,shoot me


    how? they where narrows as hell sumos if ya get me


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,333 ✭✭✭✭itsallaboutheL


    Naw!!:pac:


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,462 ✭✭✭cardio,shoot me


    what the fck is wrong with you lol :P


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,165 ✭✭✭✭brianthebard


    Lol if they're narrow as hell then maybe its just a wide stance? So long as it worked it doesn't really matter what you call them.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,462 ✭✭✭cardio,shoot me


    yea i wasnt calling the last 2 reps sumo, they where just wide conventionals, but i did technically do 6 sumo reps!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,165 ✭✭✭✭brianthebard


    Well you could have your new stance anyways!


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,462 ✭✭✭cardio,shoot me


    yea, i like it, the speed difference is ridicolous, it went up easier than the 90kg warm up with the narrow conventional!
