Jesus. CNSless. Up since 5.30am, coaching all day, timed an immense caffeine peak and digestion of 1lb of chicken to perfection to fuel the workout. The drop hit just after my first set of benches.

Feel like a black of hole of emptiness right now. So wiped.

Squats were crazy solid. Honestly cannot believe it. Still not even a risk of missing a rep. Onwards towards 175 and 180 3x5. Still under 90kg so mega confused but'll take it. Could potentially end up strongest lb for lb ever soon.

Benching was weird. Got better as it went on. Somehow added 24 reps to the rest pause set of rows. Dunno where that came from. Grip's coming up. Busted out a set of 12 dead hang chins on the 60mm fat grip pull up bar today and then just hung there for a while confused.

Thank god I don't have to train again until monday. Will have repped 2x bodyweight before the week is out.

Haha loved the "that was too easy" at the end while your squatting with two of yourself on your back.

What exactly are the Band pull aparts? Is it just a way of warming down or an actually exercise?

Also is that a home gym or are you working out of a clubs gym?

1) Hahah it's not quite 2 of me - but it WAS surprisingly easy. My body's not in great shape after it now tho so it was obviously more challenging than I gave it credit for.

2) Band pull aparts - scap retraction/surpression exercise, will video for you and post

3) Tis my own gym, Revolution Fitness. Can't link to it on here as it's against rules, but you'll get it on facebook.com/RevolutionFitnessIreland

Squats:

SET 3:


This session has just been pure hanging over me. I knew I'd have to do it on my own. I knew I'd be tired tackling it. I knew I wasn't up for it. And I knew it had to get done.

Skipped out on Monday because I was FUBAR'd, had to clean the gym yesterday so could train, RevFit had an electrician in all day between classes today so couldn't train - which meant training at 10pm tonight.

So I've been up since 5.30am, coached for 6 hours during the day, spent a lot of it writing programs, cleaning the gym (again...) because building work creates dust, and got ready for this session by being on my feet from 5pm straight thru to 10pm without a break. NOT a good way to prep. Thank got the pig arrived at 9.45pm with a can of monster.

Got thru it, it wasn't pretty. I coulda said that already. I'm so tired. I think my brain's broken. Hip hurts a lot on the right. Left TFL is tight. Tekkers was all over the place. Session was 31 reps in total. I'm a f*cking pussy. Emo emo emo.

...Friday'll be interesting.

SET 3


Well that was an experience. Was thinking all day about it... 180kg is always when I think squats start to get serious, and find it very hard to take anything less as serious.

Went thru the warm ups easy enough, right hip was stiff, left TFL was achy. Was going to take 160kg x1 and decided to just say **** it and jump to 180kg. First set was pretty decent, not STRONG, but strong...

Second set, just went in too relaxed, bitched out half way thru and was really p!ssed off with myself. Stripped the bar down to 140kg to "punish" myself with reps, sat down to get ready, then something clicked. Why bother "punishing" myself by wimping out because I was afraid to miss 180kg a second time.

Sacked up, went for it, and well the video shows the result. Definitely my proudest set since the 240kg I did in CFI in December 2010. Desperately needed to confirm to myself that I still had the mental strength to fight thru tough sets, and I think I've assured myself it's not something to worry about now.

Some sneaky KB swings for hamstrings and glute volume after, back to train tonight with Kevpants to do some upper body accessory work and gunzz later.

BENCH SET 1:


INVERTED ROWS:


Good training today. Think I've settled into a new training structure now, just need to finalise my squat day and all is good.

Benching was rock solid. A few reps outta position, most spot on and smashed. The x5 at the end was important to me because I know I can do 120 x5 now, which is where I rate my bench as "ok".

Rows were surprisingly solid. Semi false gripped them to take as much bicep and forearm out as possible, was definitely scap retraction that failed which is what I was going for. A strong grip makes everything better.

Stiff leg fat grip DLs were half there for grip, half for hamstrings. I'm quite tender still, so didn't want to push weight too hard. Figured the grip would be a nice self limiter.

Curls and extensions at the end were totally awesome brah.

<<all about tonight...>>

Warm up
-walking soldiers, quad walk, hammie walk
-band pull aparts

190kg x3
160kg x5

Speed Pulls:
120kg 6x3

A1) Ring dips 3x10
A2) 60mm chins 3x10



Bit of a bender motivationless session. Up since 5.30am, coached, spent 4 hours in a classroom at a CPR/AED course, went to train, complain about it now on boards, eat and then train again.

Deadlifts were actually pretty easy. So much better today. The 220 was better than the 210. May have gone up to 230. 100% was not arsed tho. Will try deadlift again on Tuesday, have to squat monday and then bench on one of the days too as off to Orlando Wednesday morning.

Speed pulls were ok. Got lazy and just pulled some rather than getting them with good form and technique.

Chins and dips were easy.

Wah.

SQUAT


BENCH


Glad I bullied myself into training... The squats were a lot more manageable than I expected. I'll have to go get 190kg x5 now next week.

Benching was nice. A bit crappy tekkers wise but whatever.

Off to Orlando on Wednesday, have a TON to do today and tomorrow, hence the significantly decreased training volume. Saving some energy for later in the week for when I get to train with James Fitzgerald (aka OPT), Brett Jones (the dude behind Convict Conditioning) and Dave Whitley (master RKC). Excited.

Was 91.4kg after training, so probably 90ish kg morning weight still.

Yup!! Wonder who he stole it off first tho...

<<You don't know...>>

Morning workout with James "OPT" Fitzgerald

Was at a sesh with OPT this morning (it's still only 8.45am here and I've eaten, showered, trained and played about online...). Ran thru some basic movement warm ups, all the major joints and junctions in the body, then some bodyweight stuff, then we did a workout...

Starting @ 90 seconds between rounds, descending to minus 5 seconds on each successive round
-24kg KB swings x6
-Burpees x5
-Shuttle run x4

....no idea how far in I got but I know I timed out with one person left outta a start group of 20+ so did alright!!

Great workout. Now onto the rest of the day
