    What kinda plan is this with 1 rep of deadlift ! Do you do warmups first or straight into 120?
    Tempo bench how does that work do you go really slow down and back ? How do you time it thanks ?

    It's a deload because I'm at the end of a block and going into peaking block next week. We have been doing sets of 1 rep on deadlift recently and decreasing the number of sets as the weight got heavier, so I can focus on my setup and start of lift. Got into bad habits of losing tension right at the start and looking like a monkey swinging weight around
    Tempo bench is programmed for me @310 so 3 second descent 1 second pause on chest then straight back up
    I do warm up, empty bar, 60 or 70 (today 70 bc i wanted to just load the 25s straight on the bar), so 20 70 90 100 110 was the warm up

    Thanks that makes sense . I need to work on deloads I suffer with just training constantly I've done a few years of my only break been holidays. With weights deload seems to be more important.

    Yeah I kinda struggle with that on deadlift myself , tension is important I take a deep breath and hold it probably wrong thing to do but feels ok.

    You have someone that writes a program for you ? Lucky you , probably better than generic programs you pull off Reddit :o

    Look forward to seen some shiny new PB's for you next week to so then , good luck

    Yeah im with revfit and have been since the start they are super and know their stuff. Better off doing as I'm told instead of overthinking everything
    Valsalva is prob the breathing you're already doing. There's some coke can analogy about how an empty can with no bracing gets crushed easily

    Deload important for cns

    Thanks :)

    Grand? Fine?! Ffs? Also I didn't top up chalk, first time iv had any grip slip, was fine til nearly at the bottom again. Interesting.

    How did you do the banded extensions?


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Politics Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 81,310 CMod ✭✭✭✭coffee_cake


    Propped a plate on my bench for extra height to sit on then looped 2 bands around the bench. Felt like the old extension machine days

    Ohp 4x4 30kg xxxx
    Is there an ohp equivalent of when bros do full body curls?
    -ss-
    Push ups x 6, 6, 6, 6
    Proper and full rom... ish

    DB curls 7.5kg DBs x 10, 10, 10
    Bent Over Lat raises may have turned into flyes. Using 2kg+1kg plates each hand x 8, 8, 8
    DB face pulls 7.5kg DBs x 8, 8, 8

    Supposed to be a bunch of myoreps in there but just getting thru day 5 this week at last was enough of an achievement even though it was quite light and took 20 mins

    Time to just go lie in the floor for a while
