Conditioning - Babs (half Barbara!!)

10 pull ups, 15 push ups, 20 sit ups, 25 squats - 5 rounds for time, 1min 30 seconds between rounds

Did it in 8.24 not including breaks. 25 mins later and I still don't feel right.

Can't even imagine the hell that full Barbara is - 20 pull ups, 30 push ups, 40 sit ups, 50 squats - 5 rounds, 3 mins between rounds.

It's a hellish vicious beast. Makes you wonder if it's worth it!

Good benching performance today. Hit the groove nicely and more importantly - consistently. Touched about 70-80% of the reps today which was sweet. Got thru all the sets without any bother at all. Up to 190kg 4-5x2 next week.

Dropped the bands off the board presses today cos my shoulder's a bit shagged... paused them instead and liked it!! I'll go to 120kg next week on em.

High rep band pushdowns make elbows and triceps feel nice so I like em!!

PRs or not it still looks like solid training. + with your weight coming down/crossfit workouts the day before etc. walking in and doing 190x5 is very impressive sir.
And I spotted the key mistake you made! You didn't smash your chest into the bar before the set, I mean that right there has to be worth at least another 2 reps

Ah yeah... but I don't care for any of that.. I've done more before, so I should be able to do more now

If I smashed my chest into the bar in that monolift I would also have smashed my head into the crossbeam... which would probably take away those 2 reps I gained, and probably then some. That's a mistake I made before!!

That's Hercs!! The mono's just outta shot on the left hand side. It's the one I'm squatting out of in the previous vids, you can see the bench in the background!

Practice man. I've always worked hard on upper back and shoulder flexbility and it's paid off with my arch-ability! My hips are fairly flexible too which helps. I've also started to take my feet out a bit wider which has allowed me to hold the arch better.

The trick's to get as high on your upper back as possible and arch from your upper and lower back. Arching's not just about your lower back like.

cardio,shoot me · 23-08-2009 08:13PM

that bench is so nice, i think the one in Tf is too low, finding it hard to get my feet under it like

That bench is perfect.

The one in TF Sandyford is honestly the worst I've ever used.

Gotta walk it out in competition too

hmm, i need a new bench then :P, and touche

podge57 · 23-08-2009 10:27PM

that first rep moved really fast, even more impressive considering it was your 4th set at that weight

the bench at my gym is awful too - its about 10" off the ground, contoured and is cushoined way too much. The bench at the idfpa nationals was pretty horrible too

Tell me about it. I wanted to bring that bench and rack with me and was told it was ok cos they'd have a comp spec bench and rack on the day.

Good session today surprisingly!!

Shoulder seems to be operating at near full capacity... MP's were grand, I'm sh!t on em anyway like. The one arm presses are up slightly. I've lost my groove on them a bit tho so when that comes back 3x10 should go.

Had to CGBP cos I forgot my boards... it was always gonna suck after the heavy benching yesterday and squatting on Saturady. Bit of volume tho, didn't wanna go super heavy.

Depending on how deadlifts go on Wednesday, I'd nearly say my back's as strong as it's ever been... weighted pull ups, pulldowns, pendlay rows, deadlifts... everything seems to be getting stronger. Long may it last!! (and hopefully I won't get laughed at on Wednesday for saying it now).

One arm curls were up a lot today... might measure my biceps and see where they're at the end of the week. I think they're up a bit.

CrossTrainer was hella ghey... but I'm trying to just add in a little bit more to get my weight down.

Hah yeah?

I hope they are, not because big arms are cool. But because I'm been training them 3-4x a week while dieting and losing 8-9kg, so if they're up the "isolation doesn't work and you can't build muscle while dieting" brigade can go fcuk themselves!! haha.

Seriously p!ssed off with my deadlifting today. WAY below what I was expecting of myself. The Powerlifting Gods are definitely paying me back for that hour on the crosstrainer last night. Shoulda been good for at least 5, and I was really gunning for 6. That's the end of my 5/3/1 deadlifting now. Spose it's not too bad.. went from 210x3 in the first week to 225x4 after 4 cycles. Definitely a PR at that bodyweight, but a bit of my all time 232.5 x5 which was done with 15-20 second breaks between reps.

Speed pulls were ok...ish. Form was a bit loose, but bar speed was good.

SLDL's were horrible... in a good way. My erectors and hamstrings cried.

Still loving the tightly arched hypers.. hurts my back in a good way.

Roman Chair Sit Ups are actually filthy hard. Can really feel everything being stretched!! Wanted to do pulldown abs but the stack was being used.

Gun show out in full force again today.... Bicep strength's actually up quite a bit now. Hoping the size follows. The lying incline dumbbell curls were once again nasty as hell. Makes all the right spots wanna give up!!

Hanley · 26-08-2009 10:45PM

225kg x4 - If you look really close you can see the Powerlifting Gods laughing in the background.

Vomit!! At the rubbishness of it like.

The 4th one was slow to lockout cos I was in a pretty crap position coming off the floor. My lower back's rounded out, it's always tough to lockout weight when you've put yourself in that position like.

YOU have the same belt as me. And I'm not prepared to let a crap bar get in the way of my deadlift training, so sssshhh little one

Gonna start training my grip in Hercs on Saturdays anyway and add back in kroc rows mid week so should hopefully see that come up fairly quickly. It normally does!!

Making myself less fat

Crossfit's Cindy (5 pull ups, 10 push ups, 15 squats):
19 rounds in 19 mins 41 seconds

CrossTrainer:
20 mins - 250kcal
5 min cool down

Dunno where I pulled that Cindy performance outta today. Originally gunning for 16 rounds. Did 10 in 9.14 which is a full minute down on last time, and that wasn't even pushing all out. Had 1 round plus the pull ups and push ups done in under a minute and paced myself from there.

Got to 17 with 3 minutes left and just said "fcuk it lets go" and put my head down and pushed to 19. I reckon I could go 20 in 20 mins next time I try it out. Haven't even being going too mad with the conditioning either. The reduced bodyweight makes all this CF stuff so much easier.

All the pull ups and push ups were spot on, may have been a question about some of the squats - I just pumped up and down like a piston with them.

The CrossTrainer was grand... just slogged away.

The cool thing about this log is that I've recorded (in writing like) my first ever attempt at Fran which was done in like 12.32, and I've recorded every single cardio and conditioning workout since then. When hit my sub 4 minute Fran I'm gonna collate it all and write about my journey!! (and yes, I'm going for a sub-4 Fran).
