Finished week one of smolov jr. 10 sets of 3 reps at 75kg. V Tough. Can anyone tell me if those body fat monitors are accurate. If so I may have another achievement

Started and played all 60 minutes at wing-half back in the first competitive senior football game of the season. Was chuffed.

Finally showing my face in here. 5 sets of 5 chin ups. Final set wasn't pretty but full range of motion, so I'm well happy. Aiming for sets of ten now.

RidleyRider · 06-03-2013 7:19pm

Did 3 sets of 10 chin ups with 10kg added to BW.

Chuffed

Benched for the first time today, hit 75kg at 72kg BW, don't know if that's good but I was pleasantly surprised.

That is good, took me a year of benching before I could to my body weight...

I was 105Kg

I beat the cross-trainer machine today! It was a cardio day so I usually do 5 minutes warm-up, followed by 12 - 15 minutes of HIIT and then steady state as long as I can last. Have managed up to 50 minutes before, but today I got to 56 and the machine forced me into a 2 minute warm-down, which I changed but after 58 minutes the machine reset itself completely and I had to stop

Didn't do too bad earlier

Got a 320kg dead
180kg bench
And a 280kg squat

I could've got more out of the bench but I was proper fuarked

Frogdog from here was spotting me and fair play to him. He called me out on depth for the squat

That's savage! They are huge numbers!

I only succeeded in setting myself back, went back to gym after taking 5 days off due to very bad cold and now I'm worse than I was at the start so more time off. Totally p'd off

171.2lbs this morning. More food intake and weight moving down again!!!! come on below 170!

Oregano_State · 08-03-2013 10:39am

Had a go at the bench last night while waiting for a squat-rack to free up. I hadn't benched in about a year, and managed 85kg x 1 @73/74kg BW with a bit to spare. Pretty happy with that considering my PB from when I benched regularly is 92.5kg.

Wood · 08-03-2013 3:38pm

It's Woody you beautiful man, and i'll compete all over your face.;)

Michael 09 · 08-03-2013 4:44pm

I am aiming for 100kg for 10 reps on the bench at 70kg BW. I got 6 reps today after doing ten on 75,85 and 95. I'll get there

Reality_Check1 · 08-03-2013 5:44pm

For the first time since my teenage years I'm no longer medically obese. Im not stopping either until I have a 6 pack

if you failed any of them lifts with him spotting you'd be rightly fooked

272.5 kg sumo deadlift @ 75 kg. Finally pulled 600 lbs. YES!

My strength off the floor seems to have increased recently. This may be linked to the fact that I've recently started doing heavy partial Pendlay rows with weight that I know I can't do full ROM with. This is just a note for myself really, I'm not recommending that anyone else try this.

Rossin · 11-03-2013 1:52pm

10 pull ups, now for 15, fave exercise

Im similar weight....and can only pull 160....feck you anyways!

BrianD3 · 16-03-2013 10:24pm

Weighted standing ab wheel:
A few doubles with +13 kg added using a weighted vest.

Left handed suitcase deadlift with wrist strap:
1 x 150 kg. 10 kg PR. Double bodyweight.

The form on the suitcase deadlift was quite ugly which is probably risky for this exercise. Still, I have gotten stronger and can now do my previous PR of 140 kg with good form.

Sangre · 21-03-2013 5:27pm

Bench Press: BWx13

Tried this without a spotter the other week. Think I had 1 maybe 2 more reps in me that I didn't risk. Aiming for BWx15.

RidleyRider · 21-03-2013 9:01pm

152.5 kg deadlift PB- only 2.5kg and was easy! The temptation to go higher was killing me but I stuck to the programme

272kg Deadlift @ 75kg ? Do you powerlift? Don't suppose you recorded this?

I didn't record it but even if I did I wouldn't post it here. Like to retain some semblence of anonymity here. I realise that this leaves me wide open to being called a bullsh*tter.

I don't powerlift as in terms of the 3 powerlifts I am a one trick pony with an abysmal squat and below average bench. Could do the single lifts i suppose.

3xBW, 3.5x BW or even 4x BW deadlifts are actually fairly common among lightweight lifters some of who cannot squat or bench for sh*t.
