    Deadlift: 130kg for 3x5. All mixed grip. Felt a slight twinge so maybe I'm not invincible after all.

    Larsen press: 82.5kg for 3x6. Just a repeat of last week, albeit felt easier.

    Calf raise: 245kg for 3x8. Hard.

    Lat pulldown: 83kg for 3x8. Finally.

    Squat: 115kg for 3x3. Was prepared to go down in weight in case Friday's twinge returned. Last warmup (100) felt great form-wise but 115 felt heavy, so just reduced reps on the fly.

    Bench: 1x1 @ 102.5kg and 3x3 @ 92.5kg. Repeat of last week but felt easier.

    Calf raise: 250kg for 3x8. My footing slipped halfway through the 2nd set which made finishing that set a grind. Other than that, grand. Was short on time so alternated with...

    Chest supported row: 60kg for 2x8. Form not the best tbh.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,923 ✭✭✭✭Mr. CooL ICE


    TNG bench: 97.5kg for 1x5 and 92.5 for 2x5. Warmups felt good so decided to jump up, but first set was too close to failure for my liking so I dropped weight.

    Calf raises: 255kg for 8, 7, 6. Finally met my match.

    Pull-ups/DB skullcrushers/seated hammer curls: BW/10kg/17.5kg for 10/20/8 and BW/12.5kg/17.5kg for 10/12/6. Not all DBs were available when I started so just adjusted as I went.

    Deadlift: 140kg for 3x5. All mixed grip. Great. No discomfort.

    Larsen press: 85kg for 3x6. Surprisingly ok.

    Calf raise: 255kg for 3x8. Defeated.

    Lat pulldown: 89kg for 6, 6. Ran out of time.

    Back to school next week means my schedule may be disrupted.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,923 ✭✭✭✭Mr. CooL ICE


    Squat: 115kg for 3x5. Felt more solid but could be better. Still happy to move the weight.

    Leg press: 1x8 @ 220kg. Just getting used to this.

    Calf raise: 260kg for 3x8. Grand.

    Chest supported row: 60kg for 6, 6, 6. Hard.

    Flat DB bench: 2x8 @ 35kg. Room in the tank.

    Bench: 1x1 @ 105 and 3x3 @ 95kg. Top single moved ok but the 3x3 was the easiest this weight has felt.

    Machine chest press: 2x10 @ 3 plates from full stack (labels have fallen off). Grand.

    One arm DB row: 2x8 @ 35kg. Easy.

    Skullcrushers/hammer curls: 12.5/15 for 12/8 and 15/17.5 for 4/8



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,923 ✭✭✭✭Mr. CooL ICE


    Deadlift: 150kg for 3x5. All mixed grip. Starting to feel heavy now.

    Leg press: 225kg for 1x8. Grand.

    Calf raise: 265kg for 2x8. Cramped setting up 3rd set, so just abandoned it.

    Flat DB bench: 37.5kg for 2x8. Bloody hard.

    Lat pulldown: 89kg for 5, 5. Worse than last week.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,923 ✭✭✭✭Mr. CooL ICE


    Squat: 120kg for 3x3. Still not 100% on form. Felt good on top sets but it took a long time during warmups to feel that.

    Leg press: 230kg for 1x8. Hard.

    Calf raise: 265kg for about 2 and then felt a pop in my left calf. Im hindsight, should have given these a rest after Friday's cramping.

    Chest supported row: 40kg for 2x8. Used a different one because I didn't want to use my feet for support. Easy but only going through the motions.

    Eventually fot fed up and left, so did no upper body press.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,923 ✭✭✭✭Mr. CooL ICE


    Bench: 1x1 @ 105 and 3x3 @ 95kg. Repeat of last week and unaffected by skipping pressing on Monday.

    Machine chest press: 2x8 @ 2 plates from full stack. Harder.

    One arm DB row: 40kg for 2x8. Harder but still room.

    Skullcrushers/hammer curls: 10/17.5 for 15/8 and 12.5/20 for 10/6.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,923 ✭✭✭✭Mr. CooL ICE


    Calf is still nowhere near 100%. I have tweaked it a few times since Monday, namely scurrying across the road while jaywalking and I end up limping for a few minutes. Yesterday was the first day where I didn't tweak it, so will err on the side of caution.

    Deadlift: 160kg for 1x5 and 1x2. Didn't tweak my calf but felt something in that second rep, so just left it at that. It felt heavy though.

    Leg press: 235kg for 1x8. Felt fine actually..

    Calf raise: just did a little bit while warming up calf raises. Worked up to 8 @ 50kg. Just enough to get some blood flowing. However, 50kg isn't really heavy enough to push the leg press down to give me a proper stretch.

    Flat DB bench: 40kg for 1x6 and 1xF. Just. Couldn't.

    Lat pulldown: 83kg for 8. Just got tired.

    Squat: 120kg for 3x5. Form felt a lot better and the one video I took looked good.

    Machine chest press:

    Leg press: 240kg for 1x8. Haaard.

    Calf raise: 75kg for some random reps. Just enough to get some blood flowing.

    Chest supported row: 60kg for 8, 6. Meh.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,923 ✭✭✭✭Mr. CooL ICE


    Bench: 1x1 @ 107.5 and 2x3 @ 97.5kg. Top single matches comp max and moved faster. Felt like there's loads of room. Delighted.

    Larsen press: 80kg for 10, 7. Probably some rep PR.

    One arm DB row: 42.5kg for

    Overhead tricep extension/rope curl: 29/41 for 10/10 and 35/47 for 10/10. Haven't done these in ages so just feeling out what's heavy. I recall struggling with 29kg on extensions before so I've definitely gotten stronger arms since then.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,923 ✭✭✭✭Mr. CooL ICE


    Had a bad sinus cold last week which wiped me for a few days. Missed two sessions and still not 100% yet but the show must go on.

    Bench: 1x1 @ 100 and 2x3 @ 90kg. Strength way down. Not surprised.

    Larsen press: 80kg for 8, 5. Ugh.

    One arm DB row: 40kg for 2x8. Easy but need to take it easy.

    Overhead tricep extension/rope curl: 35/47 for 10/10, 10/10. Same as above.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,923 ✭✭✭✭Mr. CooL ICE


    Deadlift: 150kg for 2x5. Still feeling weak but the show must go on. No calf issues at least. But form didn't feel locked in - need to work on that.

    Leg press: 220kg for 1x8. Felt hard despite being down weight.

    Calf raise: 2x20 @ 100kg. The weight I started my calf raise journey with (where 3x8 crippled me with doms for a week) for high reps for blood flow. No pain. Hurrah.

    Machine chest press: 2x10 at something heavyish.

    Lat pulldown: 77kg for 2x8. Taking it easy here too.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,923 ✭✭✭✭Mr. CooL ICE


    Still not 100%. Cold still there

    Squat: 110kg for 3x5. Skipped squats last week so went back in weight. Glad I did because this was hard. Form felt good though.

    Leg press: 230kg for 1x8. Haaard. Was lightheaded.

    Calf raise: 125kg for 2x15. Fine.

    Machine chest press: 2nd last plate for 2x8. Surprisingly easy. Supersetted with...

    Chest supported row: 50kg for 8, 8. Easy.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,923 ✭✭✭✭Mr. CooL ICE


    Bench: 1x1 @ 102.5 and 2x3 @ 92.5kg. Strength not back yet. However, did a 100 before the 102.5 and the 100 felt far worse. Could have been my warmup routine. But form felt fantastic.

    Larsen press: 80kg for 9, 7. Ok.

    One arm DB row: 42.5kg for 2x8. Felt haaard.

    Overhead tricep extension/rope curl: 41/53 for 8/8, 7/8. Met my match.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,923 ✭✭✭✭Mr. CooL ICE


    Deadlift: Im missing deadlifts next week so just YOLOd some triples up to something hard. Got to 170x3 and realised that was my limit. Probably some beltless PB or something.

    Leg press: 235kg for 1x8. Felt hard despite being down weight.

    Calf raise: just some random sets while warming up leg press. Didn't push it.

    Machine chest press: 2x8 at full stack. Will just have to increase reps I guess.

    Lat pulldown: 83kg for 7, 6. Just felt weak.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,923 ✭✭✭✭Mr. CooL ICE


    Squat: did triples up to my limits for similar reasons to deadlifts on Friday. Did 130x3 and although there was possibly room for more, I decided against pushing myself 5 days before my wedding and worsening my hernia. Probably a beltless PB though.

    Leg press: 240kg for 1x8. Hard.

    Calf raise: 125kg for 3x15. Fine. But I still feel something in the calf.

    Machine chest press: full stack for 2x10. Probably a bit too easy now.

    Chest supported row: 55kg for 2x8. Hard.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,923 ✭✭✭✭Mr. CooL ICE


    Bench: 1x1 @ 105 and 2x3 @ 95kg. 105 felt crap. Just generally felt weaker than last week.

    Larsen press: 80kg for 8, 7. Ugh.

    One arm DB row: 45kg for 2x8. Hard and not quite sure how I finished it. Possibly a short rep or two towards the end? I dunno.

    Overhead tricep extension/rope curl: 41/53 for 2x8/8.
