    Man you're after getting VERY strong again...

    Your powers of recovery are diriculous..

    I hate you...

    Do me a favour? Throw up a vid of your Pendlays at some stage??

    Haha what you mean getting strong again?? I was never weak!!

    And thanks, I think the sleep I have been getting has actually been a window of opportunity for some nice caring people to replace my normal bodyparts with machinery.

    I've an old vid on youtube I'll find, but I imagine the form with heavy weight would be slightly different.

    Ummm lots of plans and goals for the rest of the year....

    1) survive Murph tomorrow
    2) drop the weight back on my squats and deads, slow build up over the next 2 months or so
    3) tons of lower back and hamstring work
    4) bench comp on september 20th - go over 2x bodyweight
    5) hit 95kg some time in october
    6) thinking about smolov deadlift.... (ties in with my 280kg deadlift goal)
    7) sub 4 minute Fran
    8) GUN SHOW!!!!

    I'm sure there's more....

    Aw man don't do that to me!!

    Now i'll have to get to like 60kg to look even relatively strong.

    or stay at 95kg and do something other than bench and some ghey stuff....for gods sakes man....if you actually did some decent squat and deadlift training you'd have a decent total....look at the size of you like...there are little people all over the world who would kill to have a frame your size....

    Thanks man...

    Got almost 6 hours last night. Was delighted with myself!!

    Haha sorry... you'll hate this even more.

    I'm giving SERIOUS thought to coming back to 90kg for the 2010 world champs in Ireland. First year as a senior and I've a MUCH better chance of placing respectively at that weight. Should really go over 9x bodyweight at it. And I'd be SHREDDED (I'd have to be!!).

    Should squat over 3.5x bodyweight (315kg+ at that weight), bench 2.5x (225kg) and deadlift over 3x too (270+). Like I'm planning on going over 800 in April, so if I do that all I'd have to do is maintain my strength while I drop a weight class (810kg =9x bodyweight at 90).

    Decisions....

    Trying to get psyched for THE Murph now... gonna be tons of fun.

    the what now?


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 21,981 ✭✭✭✭Hanley


    Hell day.....

    "Murph";
    1 mile run (8 mins)
    100 pull ups (10 min 24 seconds)
    200 push ups (13 mins 39 seconds)
    300 squats (12 mins 35 seconds)
    1 mile run (9 mins 22 seconds)

    Time: 53 minutes 39 seconds - running straight thru each exercise

    This was absolutely disgusting. I cant even describe how it feels. "Exhaustion" is the word I'd use to sum it up tho. I'm pretty sure I was half KO'd after it. One of the trainers in the gym called me to ask how I did, I could hear his voice but couldn't see him. He was standing in the balcony above me in plain sight like!!!! :s

    My pull ups were pretty good.... tore thru the first 50 in around 3.30 minutes. Still well off what I need for a good Fran time but in my defence I did weighted pull ups against the clock yesterday and loads of plate flips on Sunday. My forearms and grip are what let me down on it today. Did 5x10, then broke the 10's into 6+4 and eventually 4+3+3

    Push ups let me down. Did 20x10 but they were really really hard.

    Squats were ok.... 100, 50, 50, 25, 25, 25, 25.

    The last mile was nasty... noticed I was close to going over 54 with about 400m left so decided to push on and get under it.

    I REALLY don't wanna try that workout again any time soon.

    Oh and I did get a PR.... I've been chasing a sub 5 minute km since I got back cardio'n and I did it today quite easily... probably woulda gone 4.30 if I pushed, maybe even lower, so happy days, not bad for a fat git!!
    the what now?

    See above.

    I was hiding over beside the chin bar on the cable crossover doing what I can only describe as "cardio seppuku".

    Cheers dude. My only problem is, I don't know better!!

    Deadlifts 'n' sh!t

    Speed Pulls:
    70kg x5
    100kg x3
    130kg x2
    160kg 8x2

    Deadlifts:
    200kg 3x5

    Snatch Grip DL's:
    70kg 4x12

    Lying Hamstring Curls:
    stack 3x8

    Roman Chair Sit ups:
    bodyweight x10
    10kg plate on forehead x8
    20kg plate on forehead 3x8

    Murph took a fair bit outta me yesterday so today was low enough in volume and intensity. I should probably take a couple of down weeks with the competition coming up tbh. I might switch it up and go BB style for the next 3 weeks or so...

    Speed pulls were grand, did them strapless which was hard considering my hands are in BITS from the pull ups yesterday. 5 or 6 callouses ready to tear... gonna have to sort them out later.

    Deads were alright... tough enough but again it's cos I was tired from yesterday.

    Snatch grip DL's are quite hard, reckon they'll be LOTS of fun when I start to push up the weight.

    Like the Roman Chair Sit Ups a lot... really nice stretch and contraction from them.

    Wrist was a bit sore so didn't bother with curls or rows for today, but I've been pushing them hard the last few weeks so it's not a big deal.

    Hey man, some nice work on the Crossfit stuff. I was actually expecting you to suck at bodyweight stuff like Cindy but you've blown me right out of the water!
    I shall be re-introducing some x-fit type stuff over the next few weeks so it's good to have a benchmark.

    Hah thanks man. The bodyweight stuff's easy. It's the weighted met-cons that are truly hard.

    My chest is gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay. Gonna work on getting it up a bit over the next 6 weeks or so.

    Think my winging scap is back judging by my push ups during the week and pressing today... gonna try get it checked out next week.

    Yes, I'm training to get my Fran time down. No shame in it either!!! Got thru the sets above fairly non stop and recovered quickly afterwards. That's about 62% of the full Fran. Gonna train in blocks of 62, 70, 77 and 85% or thereabouts for the next few weeks.

    Thanks man... tis catching up on me now. Sense says to tone it down a bit for the next couple of weeks, let the diet do the work, rest up for the bench comp.

    Everything else says.... TRAIN TRAIN TRAIN!!
