I dunno if those were the weights. Had to sub in a few exercises in places cos the bits I wanted to use were in use. And I don't really give a **** about logging them because the pump was outrageous, and I worked my ass off.

Also - got a haircut and bought myself a present today

There's a T-Nation article somewhere about kickbacks recruiting more tricep muscle fiber than dips.

Know why I chose em?

The skull crushers had a MASSIVE long head recruitment, the CGBPs smashed everything and I wanted to hit the short head too.

FO' REALZ.

A) Deadlift:
225kg x2 w/ belt
..then nothing - couldnt' get 225 passed my knees once.

Sumo Deadlift:
100kg x3
120kg x3
140kg x3
160kg 5x3 - no belt

3 rounds of;
C1) SLDL: 145kg x6 @ 40X0
C2) KB Swing: 40kg x12
C3) Good mornings: 45kg 3x25 @ 20X0
10s break between exercises, 3 minutes between rounds

The good 225 x2

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIGFO4TCxzc

I dunno what to say. I've never felt like crying in the gym until today.

First time deadlifting in the morning ever, but that's still no excuse. My deadlift's gone from 220x5 beltless back to 225 x2 with a belt in 2 months.

That's easily the most frustrating thing I've ever experienced in the gym.

To the point where I just want to forget about strength for the next year and focus on bodybuilding. I can't handle the continual disappointment of lifts going great, and then falling apart.

Sucks man. I pulled 255kg in mid-December and 240kg for 3. Went for 240kg in early-February and may as well have been attempting 500kg for all the moving it did.

I let myself get woefully lazy for a few weeks though. You seem to have the opposite problem... training splits like a banshee and then throwing big strength in there as well.

Put it this way... if I showed you my log and it included all the training, recovery (or lack thereof), travelling, etc. that you've done in the last few weeks and then asked why I couldn't do more than one 225kg double at stupid o'clock in the morning... what would you tell me?

...holy-f*ck-my-life. That was HARD. Back is in RIBBONS after it. Not sure if it's the good way or not.

Very very happy with thedeadlifting today. Changed my start position a tad and the bar moved so much better.

Sumo's were ok. Could probalby do with moving my hips about a bit, but they're getting there.

The circuit is just brutal. Felt like someone slid 2 bottles of coke up underneath my erectors they were so pumped and full.

230kg x2 (first set)

Tried to find 24 hour fitness, but got lost and found a Planet Fitness instead.

"Balls to that", I said, I'll go for a run and find something better.

....and then I happened upon this magical place - voted one of the 6 best gyms in the US by muscle and fitness magazine.

Hanley · 21-03-2014 09:05PM

Those slow up, slow down pull ups are SICK.

Hanley · 22-03-2014 08:41PM

A1) Incline Bench: 80kg 2x6, 75kg x6 @ 4010

Pumptastic.

Feel like a creep using such light weights. Will need to do something serious to recover strength after all of this I reckon, but hopefully laying down a layer of new muscle will transfer over onto back end gains.

Great day for me today;

-coached/spoke for 7 hours in the gym
-lots of PRs were hit (90k squat to 105k and 105k to 130k dead in 10 weeks were my faves)
-Ginto's home for a couple of weeks, nice to see him, and he brought treats
-One of my coaches delivered an absolutely kick ar$e ladies seminar
-I got to train even after all that
-Eat really well for the day, and now going on the piss with my best mates

.....#BanterPR

Hanley · 27-03-2014 01:06PM

Woke up sick on Monday. Decided to try training anyway. **** you deadlifts.

Deadlift: up to 220k x1, missed 235k - not surprised

B1) GHR 3x6
B2) Leg Curls 3x12 @ 4010
B3) GMs 3x25 @ 3010

Hammies in a hoopie.

Hanley · 27-03-2014 01:10PM

Early morning in flyefit, gym was busy, triset wasn't happening.

A1) Incline DB Bench: 5x10, 1x9,7,7,8,7 (88 reps in total)
A2) Rev. Grip BO Rows: 60kg 10x10 @ 3010 - too light

B2) Scap Pull Ups: 3x15

Pumpy and tiring. Going up wit the DBs and Rows next week. Or whenever I come back to them.

Hanley · 02-04-2014 08:37AM

15 minutes:
A1) Squat x5
A2) Incline DB Press/Fly x10

..got 60,100,120,140,160 on the squats

B1) GHR x5
B2) Chinzz x5 @ 4010

...did like 6 rounds I think

8 minutes
C1) Low incline DB curls x12
C2) Tricep pushdown x12

Feeling like a big hairy dump since I got back from NYC. Have some bug I can't shake. Just trained to train there. Was happy enough.

Big projects on the horizon over the next while, so just getting any training is will be welcome.

Hanley · 03-04-2014 01:06PM

Juh-vuth-ah

A1) Incline DB Bench @ 3010:
35kg DBs 3x10, then x9,7,6,6,7,6,6

A2) Rev. Grip Bent Over Row @ 3010:
70kg 10x10

B1) Incline Flys:
12.5kg KBs 3x15

B2) Pulldowns @ 4010:
3x15

1 minute rest between all sets.

Will up the DBs to 37.5kg next time, and the rows +5kg. And now I need to plan the rest o my cycle.

Upper body like a bro.

Lower body like a boss.

Something like that.

GVT upper.
Gillingham DL lower.

Hanley · 04-04-2014 04:37PM

Day 1 of Gillingham...

A) Front Squat:
140kg 5x2

Rack Pull From Right Below Knee:
warm ups to 200
220 x1
*belt*
240 x1
250 x1
260 x1 - surprising

C) RDLs:
120kg 4x10

D) Snatch Grip Shrugs:
80k 3x12 @ 4010

Working off memory for that day. I think it's correct. Shrugs instead of rows cos I'm doing rows on other days, and I want a big yoke.

Biggest challenge on the RDLs is my detached rotator cuff muscle. Can't do high reps very well cos of it.

Rack pulls were strong than expected!
