    Fair enough...I just feel it where I shouldn't and a time seems to touch of shoulder impingement which has manifested itself in a couple .For ways. Nothing serious beyond irritation but BB bench is weak as Temple Bar booze but changing the grip a little works. Just said I'd flag it in case it helped :)

    I appreciate it man :) Nice way of describing your bench too haha

    Body is in an absolute heap today after that 10x10 deadlifting 2 days ago. Playing football for 4 hours two nights ago and football golf the yesterday morning didn't really help either.

    1x10 @ 100kg

    Squats felt really good tonight. My waist has gone to small for the gym belt so didn't feel comfortable going above 130kg. Must get my own.

    Sumo Deadlift
    1x10 @ 70kg

    Haven't done sumo deadlifts in ages, felt really good and my strength has carried over from my conventional deadlifting as the highest I previously went was 1x170kg I think. Going to include these into my program every week. 1 day doing conventional another doing sumo.

    Db stiff leg deads
    5x10 @ 42.5kgx2

    Messed around today in the gym with some quads, arms and shoulders even though it was my day off.

    Today I got to have a cheat meal. Generally have 1 every 2-3 weeks. My weight before my cheat meal was 82kg afterwards I weighted 85.5kg. Ughhhhhh so full and bloated but was so good. My cheat meal consisted off

    Sushi takeaway (loads)
    3 chocolate infinity magnums
    big bag of dorritos

    Going to do sumodeads and squats tomorrow so i'll burn it off :)

    Had more in me but the belt being too big for me didn't push confidence in me. Found out whenever I come out of the bottom of a 130kg+ squat I fart. No idea why but must do something about it :P

    Hack Squat

    1x10 @ 190kg

    Felt good after that leg session. Weighed in at 81.3kg today which is the lightest I have been in about 10-11 months. Strength feels ok even though Im on a tiny amount of carbs. Every second or third day I will have 125g of white rice.

    I'm guessing you lost count and did a few extra to make sure you got the full set done...

    Week 8 Day 3 Squats

    10 min walk on treadmill to warm up

    Stretches etc

    Squats
    1x10 @ 20kg
    1x10 @ 60kg
    1x10 @ 80kg
    1x10 @ 100kg
    belt
    1x5 @ 120kg
    2x3 @ 130kg
    1x1 @ 140kg
    6x6 @ 100kg

    This cut is really starting to effect my squat strength. Going to build up the 100kg squat to 10x10 after I do my heavy rep squats. On the 6x6 I really slowed down the negative part of the movement and tried to explode back up. Didn't help the fact it was boiling it the gym.

    Db stiff legs
    8x8 @ 42.5kg x 2
    2x10 @ 40kg x 2


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 939 ✭✭✭chriity139


    Weighed in today at 81kg lightest I have been all year.

    Sumo's
    1x10 @ 70kg
    1x10 @ 110kg
    1x10 @ 120kg
    1x5 @ 140kg
    1x5 @ 150kg
    Dropset
    1x5 @ 150kg
    1x10 @ 110kg
    1x10 @ 70kg

    Superset 1x6
    1x10 Db chest press 25-42.5kg
    1x10 Bb bicep curl @ 30kg
    1x30 Standing side crunches with 20kg plate

    No issues at all with the shoulder while pressing until I got to the 42.5kg db's then I felt a slight sensation so I stopped at that weight.

    Superset 2x6
    1x10 Medium grip pulley row 64-100kg
    1x12 Standing hammer curl @ 12.5kg
    1x12 Hanging leg raises

    Not a bad session except for the heat, legs are still in bits from squatting 2 days ago. Sumos were unpleasant to say the least.

    Week 9 Day 1 Squats

    Warmup bike + stretching

    Squats
    1x10 @ 20kg paused
    1x10 @ 20kg
    1x10 @ 60kg
    1x10 @ 80kg
    1x10 @ 90kg
    belt
    7x7 @ 100kg

    6th set was very hard, gf pissed me off saying I don't think you will be able to complete the 7th set as the 6th looked very hard. Pissed of I selected an intense song on the iPod and murdered the 7th set not a single rep was hard. The 7x7 felt much easier than the 6x6 last week. Next week is 8x8 @ 100kg. Once I get 10x10 @ 100kg I am going to increase the weight by 5kg until I can get 10x10 again. Good way of increasing strength without all the heavy stress on your joints with 2-5 rep sets plus it counts as cardio :)

    Front squat
    1x10 @ 20kg
    1x10 @ 30kg
    1x10 @ 40kg
    2x10 @ 50kg

    Just messing around with front squats again, felt good might start including them in my hamstring dominant leg days for my quad exercise at the end. Since I have stopped training chest for the past month or so due to my shoulder my flexibility has gotten much better with the high elbows

    Close feet leg press
    1x50 @ 40kg
    1x50 @ 80kg
    1x30 @ 120kg
    1x30 @ 160kg
    1x20 @ 200kg

    Quads felt annihilated after the leg press.

    Leg extension
    1x20 @ 2nd plate
    1x20 @ 3rd plate
    1x20 @ 4th plate
    1x20 @ 5th plate

    Standing single leg curl
    5x12 @ 34kg
