Oof, DIY home set ups, yes I feel your pain...

And in my case, each one is more perilous than the last!

Right, back in the actual gym, moar front squatz:
10x3x95kg
Nearly failed the 3rd one in the 6th set. They got a bit ugly towards the end too. Not horrific or anything but I'm glad there's only another four sessions left.

I was wondering what that was about.

Forgot, yesterday, snatch 1x20kg, idiotic commuter race too, had EIA at the end and also lost spectacularly due to poor tactics and lungs like bagpipes (only half serious)!

today, habbin': one set of rotation stuff, two of the retraction stuff.

3x5x32kg single leg deadz. Starting to dread the final run through.

Edwardius · 15-10-2011 6:32pm

Right, final runthrough.

Front squat:
4x9x85kg
first set easy, felt ill then, 2nd hard, 3rd and 4th fairly ok, chest caving a bit and generally getting loose. Need more koar too.

Should be finished on thursday.

RDL: 2x5x75kg, not arsed.

Edwardius · 17-10-2011 1:45pm

righto. front squatz:
5x7x90
Bit more controlled towards the end. had some bouncing action on the earlier sets. Need to get less doomy before lifting, can't be helping! Two more sessions to go.

Single leg dead: 3x8x32kg

Incline pressez: 20kg dumbell

Db Kurlz: 16kg, 2x8

Edwardius · 19-10-2011 1:51pm

had to lift in a 'leisure centre', looked like a spanner grunting and strainin'.
Front squatz:
7x5x95kg

By far the worst day. First set was manky and they got worse from there. Nearly missed the 4th in 6th set. Last set was a lottery. Not too happy with manky lookin reps. Last day tomorrow, hopefully it's not as bad. If it's anywhere near as bad it'll take half the day!

Edwardius · 19-10-2011 2:07pm

even started thinking the bar might have been 25kg. Actually thought today would've been easier than monday.

I reckon that bar was more than 20kg. My sets felt manky heavy too and we all know how amazing I am so if I had difficulty, the weight was definitely more than it seemed!

Didn't bother training yesterday as I was hungover and the back wasn't great. Got in today though.

Front squats
10x3x100kg
fairly tough, was pretty tired and not really bothered. not as bad as wednesday. had to pay a visit to McD's afterwards! I'm not going to do the intense cycle as I lack sufficient self-loathing. Gonna fart around next week, test the max and then the following week sort out something with a decent amount of assistance. Shoulder is worse now, it hurts to hang from a pullup bar. In effect I appear to have been dehabbing the bastarding thing. gonna halt the supposed rehab until things stop hurting. Pissed off about wasting all this time not snatching. Happy about finishing feckin smolov base though. Not planning on doing it again for a very long time.

I think I know what to work on to even things out a bit. Having said that, I can actually remember failing a single at 62.5kg back in the early cf days and it looked worse than any of those! I'll see if I can find me non-E training log to confirm.

howtomake · 25-10-2011 8:39pm

Edwardius · 26-10-2011 8:13pm

Caught AIDS or something after getting drenched on monday evening, Housebound since then. Got some Koar work done yesterday and did some shoulder-fixin' stuff today. Ditched the band for the rotation stuff for the moment but kept it for the retraction and distraction stuff. Did some I-rows on the rings too. Might not get to test max front squat tomorrow either as I managed to hurt my back in a coughing fit last night. I do get to sleep a lot though!

Hi may name is Ian I’m in my final year of product design and am interested in designing a piece of gym equipment for my final year thesis

I've an idea for that too right, you take a rod of solid steel approximately seven feet long and 28mm diameter. Next, you get a pair of rotating sleeves, each of diameter 50mm and length 450mm with about 50mm at the end being about 100mm diameter. Place these sleeves on either end of the aforementioned bar, allow them to rotate by means of bearings and secure with circlips at either end. This ingenious device may then have weight in the form of discs of diameter of up to 450mm added to either end. Such a device may be used in many ways with near infinite weight increments up to about 400kg. It may be possible in the future to base several sports around the use of this ingenious device.

You're welcome!

Good effort Ed but I don't think it's going to catch on. No one would be stupid enough to do anything with that sort of device; they could injure themselves!

Edwardius · 27-10-2011 6:46pm

Today: still have aids, did some inverted rows on the rings, some pullups, light KB presses (7.5kg light) and scap pushups.

gonna move FS test to saturday, will probably test back squat and some other stuff just fo the hell of it.

Edwardius · 29-10-2011 6:59pm

Dragged my decrepit ass training

Front squat up to 110 for a single (cheap pb), horrible rep felt the lower back folding, dive bombed it and the bar basically kept going forward from the bottom.

put some wraps on and worked up to a nicer looking 110

tried 115 with a belt, fail

worked back up to 110 with the belt.

clean:
90-100(fx2)-100-105(fx2)-90x2

power clean
up to 95

some back squat singles at 100-110

snatched the bar for a triple

ham kurlz, standing and lying
leg extensions (I was bored)
incline press: 50x5, tucking like a mofo
erm...
did a bunch of tumbling on the mats then, don't even know where to begin with a backflip though.

I think that's it. Probably did more stupid stuff I forgot. Front squat was **** but I've been in bed most of the week so whatever. The successful clean at 100 was pretty good, nearly all the fails were due to not pulling into the bar on receipt, had 105 racked solidly on the last try but the legs were on hols. I'll figure out the next month's training tomorrow. Clean+dead stop FS will figure though, as will some positional stuff and a fair bit of single leg stuff and assistance. Need to be more upright on squats too so I think the stance needs to widen a bit.

Edwardius · 31-10-2011 5:17pm

Right, sort of formed a plan as I went along today:

Clean+ front squat (pause at bottom of fs):
5 sets at 80kg

Back squat:
5 or 6 doubles at 100

RDL
5x3x100

planks:

3x30s with 50kg

Had about half an hour of soft tissue work on the shoulder administered by one of the lads in the club, gent.

Was waiting around a while so ended up doing a bunch of stupid ****. Unracked 190 and 200kg on the back and then on the front. Was actually unable to breathe! Did a bunch of drop sets on the Ham curl machine too, we'll see how that goes in the morning. I currently have a pot with two kilogrammes of meat and other things in it, hope that mitigates the soreness somehow.

Edwardius · 02-11-2011 9:19pm

Trained in santry today, nice place, elite ****ers everywhere.

clean: singles at 70-80-85-90-95-100(f)-100
5 singles at 90

Snatch pulls (chinaman style) triples: 50-60-70-80-85-90 aggravated shoulder a bit, these are therefore out.

Frontal schwatz:
up to 90x3 and 100x1
Erm. heavy. probably shouldn't have raped my hamstrings the other day.

Trap bar deadlift (the one that looks like it fell off a JCB): worked up to bar+120kg with the higher handle position for a single. Still suspicious of these

GHR (I can't see a GHR and not use the bastarding thing) sets of 8 at various positions. Not sure what sort of creature used it last, it was set up all freaky.

Edwardius · 05-11-2011 4:12pm

right, warmed up carefully and snatched up to three singles at 60. Shoulder position improved and I can handle a wider grip. Still need to be very carefuL. Clean and jerked 60 once, shoulder not ready for that. Did clean +fs 3 sets at 85. Clean pulled 100 and 110 for 3, back sqyatted 100 for 3. So weak with wider stance, much better narrow. Trap bar 140x3

oh, I headbutted the bar again during snatches.

Some shenanigans

I'm treating it like a newborn Dodo for the most part. I'm starting to think the same though. Extensive periods of not lifting haven't helped too much, rehab has kinda helped but the horse had already bolted! I'm just gonna do stuff that doesn't hurt, and continue doing the rehab stuff that doesn't hurt.

Right, trained a bit later because I'm lazy.

clean+paused fs, 2x70, 2x80 (all over the place), 1x85, 3x90. Not too bad, might be able to go to 95 next time, maybe switch to clean doubles when these run out of steam.

Squat from the back: 80-90-100-105x3
****e

was gonna do rdls but for some reason I decided to do sumo deads. I have a reason for it somewhere

100-120-130x3

much prefer these to regular deads, I can pull with worrying about my back exploding and I'm very weak out that wide.

Plankz:
50-60-50
30s a hold

Zzzzzz

Not great. Cleans are ****e. Basically they were all pulled high enough to power clean and I was too slow and weak under the ****ers.

Actually pleased to be able to set a pb when completely knackered. Gonna take things down a notch or two and try to move all pretty for the next while.
