    Wanted to get one of these up running a while back but i had an injury and was only doing light cardio and light weights. Been back a few weeks now and got into it hard. Got back to a position i'm very happy with despite the lay off.

    Gonna record my diet and program in here. Changing my program a bit from what it was and using 5x5 for the most part. Gonna keep all sets at the same weight and look to increase each week. If i can't get 5 reps on each of the 5 sets i will keep the same weight until i can. And instead of starting off at my maximum now i'm going to drop the weight a bit so i don't hit a plateau early.

    When you say press, do you mean bench press or standing over head press?

    alos, when you say 5 x 5 @ 85kg - that means 25 reps in total.

    However, when you say

    Press

    5x5 - 85kg
    5x5 - 85kg
    5x5 - 85kg
    5x5 - 85kg
    5x5 - 85kg

    that would imply that your total reppage was 125 reps at 85kg.

    which was it?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,818 ✭✭✭Inspector Coptoor


    Ok, cool.

    Were you doing 5 x 5 on the bench press?
    or with the standing overhead press?

    Shít didn't even notice i had phrased it like that. It was just the 5 sets of 5 reps. 25 total. And the press is the overhead press. Just used to referring to it as that.

    very nice weight to be repping 5 x 5 with on the OH press.

    My diet hasn't been too bad despite the drinking over the weekend. Bought a load of chicken fillets and been eating them. So it's mostly been eggs and chicken all day. Not much carbs though other than oats in the morning and whatever from peanut butter.

    Had an unbelieveable workout earlier with the UMD Bulldogs. An American football team that my cousin plays for at college. The intensity was through the roof. Don't know the names of half of the things so i'll just describe. Not looking forward to tomorrow.

    Wednesday

    Warm up and stretching.

    Done 5 rounds of a circuit that involved jogging through zig zagged cones, then having to jump up when you reached each cone in the next series of cones, burpees at each cone in the next series of cones, 20 reverse crunches at the next marker facing away from the way you're going. When finished up as quick as possible and a sprint for 40 yards, 20 crunches at next marker, again 40 yard dash, 20 push ups at next marker and another 40 yard sprint. Always doing there exercise facing away from the way you sprint. Then it was through a series of tires and after that a series of box jumps spread out in a row. Finally on the home stretch you had to flip over a big ass tire back to where you started.

    6 of us done a circuit at a time and went in groups 40 seconds after each group. I thought that was it after that but nope. It was into the weight room then.

    More stretching.

    Then started with 80 kilos on the barbell doing stiff leg deadlifts for 10 reps, then the same movement but with a jump at the end of it for 10 reps, straight into 10 hang cleans, followed by 10 push presses, then over the head onto the shoulders for 10 squats and finally 10 lunges on each leg. Once the barbell was picked up for the SLDL's it wasn't put down till after the lunges. Done 3 rounds of that. Absolute killer.

    That was followed by 40 yard sprints wearing a weight vest and then running up and down the court dunking a basketball while wearing the vest. Well trying to dunk it.

    Lastly there was 5 rounds of deadlifts at 100 kilos and battling ropes for a minute. I think somewhere near the 4th round i lost all feeling in my arms. They had burned to ash by that stage. Don't know how i done the 5th round.

    We finished up with some more stretching and a warm down.


    To me that would seem like over training and no way would i consider doing that volume in one session on a regular basis. But they are well conditioned and unbelievably fit from it. Even the big defensive guys who done a slightly different workout. Hoping to do another session with them on Friday before going home the next day.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,341 ✭✭✭El Horseboxo


    Felt wrecked on Thursday after that session on Wednesday. Really struggled on the bench and had horrible form with my left side being a little weaked and lifting the bar up crooked. Still managed the 5x5 though with the 2.5 kg increase on last week.

    Thursday

    Bench Press

    122.5kg x 5
    122.5kg x 5
    122.5kg x 5
    122.5kg x 5

    45kg x 5
    45kg x 5
    45kg x 5
    45kg x 5
    45kg x 5

    Finished with a bit of core work. 3 rounds of weighted crunches, reverse crunches and russian twists for 20 reps each. Used a 15kg plate with around 30 seconds rest each round.

    Friday

    Another session with the Bulldogs earlier today. Not as intense as the other day as they have a game tomorrow morning at 10 which i should get to see half of before needing to get to the airport.

    Started with stretching and then onto sprints wearing a weight vest. There were 10 cones all spread out on the field and a person would stand at each one. The coach would call 2 random numbers and you'd have to race the person from one cone to the other. Bastard called my number 4 times in a row.

    Then we went on to flipping big tires and carrying sand bags.

    After that it was some positional training with the ball which was really good and totally different from anything i ever done. A lot of it incorporated plyometrics such as single leg box jumps where you'd catch the ball in the air at different angles. Really difficult to do without falling over. Of course i lost balance a few times.

    Then it was into the gym for 3 rounds of what i done the other day with the barbell. Finished with stretching and then went to this restaurant where i must have ate over 100 grams in protein from lean meat. Beef, chicken and shrimp.

    Think i'll start incorporating some plyometrics into my work outs at some stage.

    4 mins tabata on cross trainer. 30 seconds intense, 10 seconds slow pace.



    Also not gonna bother sticking the diet up. Going on a carb cycling diet from today and i pretty much only eat oats, chicken, tuna, eggs, veg and nuts anyways and some rice. Don't eat sweets or drink fizzy drinks so my diet will always be good. On days where i lift the compounds i'll eat a carb meal only before and after workout. On days of cardio i will only eat carbs at breakfast in the form of oats and on the rest day i'll keep carbs to pretty much zero. Gonna borrow some of the approach to a keto diet and consume more good fats.

    Bumped the squats up by 5kg's on last week as the warm ups felt good and i've been completing them easy enough. Think i started too low on them.

    100kg x 5 (18 step ups on each leg holding 20kg plate + 18 box jumps on 16 inch box)
    100kg x 5 (15 step ups on each leg holding 20kg plate + 15 box jumps on 16 inch box)
    100kg x 5 (12 step ups on each leg holding 20kg plate + 12 box jumps on 16 inch box)

    100kg x 5 (6 step ups on each leg holding 20kg plate + 6 box jumps on 16 inch box)

    Doubt i'll go higher than 100 on the SLDL's as i want to keep the movement about stretching the hams and not about trying to increase the weight and work other areas.

    Been carb cycling a week now. Keeping the carbs low for most days and then none on one day of the week. Only after squats and deadlifts have i ate any considerable amount of carbs. And only around workout time. But what's weird is i have been experiencing the effects of a keto diet. Which i had tried before. I feel sapped for energy, my breath tastes a little metalic and i've been getting headaches. Thought i needed to cut carbs out for that to happen. Been getting a lot of good fats in place of them so should start to go after a week or so.

    For the last 2 weeks i've changed to a slight push press. Don't think i woulda managed the whole lot on strict form. Forgot to change it as i just copy and change the figures.

    Arms felt a little weak by the time i got around to doing the close grip bench and only managed 3 reps on the last. Probably should have rested a little more inbetween sets on it too. I'll keep the same weight next week.

    Haha i'll delete it. It was very very close to being a complete movement though. Millimeters away.

    Been dying with a bad dose of the flu for the past week and done nothing. Ate very little and lost some weight too. Today is the first day i kinda felt a bit energetic and healthy so i went for a swim. Done 50 lengths. Reckon i shall sleep tonight. Something i've been struggling with.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,341 ✭✭✭El Horseboxo


    Feeling better this week so back into the training. Gonna just do what i'm in the mood for this week because i lost a bit of weight and thought i'd feel a bit weak but i was really surprised how strong i felt today. Weight actually felt a lot lighter which was quite strange.
