Getting stronger getting older

Will the young lad have to walk through the doorway to give you a handout?

Haha it’s set up very temporarily there. He’s mad to help paint the plates now. Wonder will he be so eager when I’m dragging his ass out of bed at 5 am to squat. Ah, the joys of being a six year old

Deadlift

100kg x 5
120kg x 3
140kg x 2
150kg x 1
170kg x 1
180kg x 1

I said I’d deadlift today as I’m not set up for that at home yet. Was close to max there I’d say. Technically I didn’t fall to pieces but it was slow. Happy enough with the numbers.

Lat pull down

100kg x 3 x 8
110kg x 8
120kg x 5

Surprised I got the weight so high on these.

Home gym from now until Xmas.

Homegym

Squat

Warmups to 100kg x 3

110kg x 1
120kg x 1
130kg x 1
100kg x 10

Buzzing after that. Did not think I’d enjoy a home workout. The weight felt light. I honestly think I had 150 in me if needed. Said I’d go the cardio route at the end instead of maxing out. Delighted with how light everything felt. Shoulder feels almost perfect.

The young lad even tried a few on the empty bar.

Bench press

50kg x 4 x 12 PB

Safety’s are perfect on this rack. 1/2” from my neck. What more could I ask for. Having a 6 year old cheer me on got me to 12 on the last set.

Squat

100kg x 3
110kg x 2
120kg x 1
130kg x 3 x 3

Really surprised and happy that I’m back to triples at 130. I was even tempted to go for extra reps but old age and sense prevailed this time.
Think it’s time I did some sort of program now. I’ve literally no excuse not to

Bench press

60kg x 3 x 8
S/S
5kg plate Rev flys x 3 x 12

Very happy with the benching.

Busy busy week. I came home today at lunch and my deadlifting mats were here. Two monsters. 6 x 4 and 40kg each and the best quality mats I ever did see. Lovely finish to them. My Viking press handle arrived too. I Cant fit the mats until the cheaper foam mats arrive to put underneath them.
While I was there I moved the rack and that gave me head height to do some overhead presses.

Bar x 2 x 10
30kg x 8
35kg x 8
40kg 8, 5
45kg x 5

I had no idea where ohp was at these days. These felt ok today. I have a new program done up so I’ll start that any day now.

Db Rev flys

9kg x 3 x 15

Just to balance out the front deltoids

Bench press

45kg x 6
50kg x 6
55kg x 6
60kg x 6
65kg x 6

Got through these ok. The bar path was a bit sloppy.

BB row

50kg x 3 x 8

Handy

Bicep curl/tricep overhead extension 29kg x 3 x 10

OHP

Bar x 10
30kg x 6
32kg x 6
37kg x 6
40kg x 6
42kg x 6

Ohp is feeling ok these days. No pain in either shoulder

Slingshot Bench press

60kg x 4 x 8

I had no idea how to judge what weight to use. It was my first time using Marc belles slingshot. I felt the triceps were used more. 60 moved very easy and I had plenty left in the tank.

Single hand DB row

34kg x 3 x 10

I’ve rarely done these in the past, simply because I hate them. I’ll try stick with them for a while

Shrugs 100kg x 3 x 10
Bicep curl 29kg x 3 x 10
DB Rev flys 9kg x 3 x 10
Overhead tricep ext 29kg x 3 x 10

Supersetted these 4 to see if I’d live afterwards. I am alive. Weren’t too bad actually

It’s only a cheap rip off one from eBay but feels ok to use. Nothing to compare it to so it’s the best I’ve ever used

How many red lights can you see?

Camera angle isn’t ideal

**tried to upload a video but it turns out Boards.ie can’t handle the night of a 31 second video.

Ok
