Damn these workouts look great Andrew. Easy squats at 120 are nice to see and I wish I had the guns to be able to curl 5 sets of 10 at 35Kg. Love the sailing shots, looks like my kind of holiday!

The equipment was free so it seemed sensible. :)



I probably could have pulled another on the deads but form would have been horrible.

Oh, the Wendler "training maxes" (0.9x1rm) for this...

What charity has golf caddies like that?
Sick squatting. Damn it, I'm far behind you now.

Yeah, I pulled an ugly 220Kg at 16 inches back in January if you remember that strongman events day video. I haven't really done much rack pulling since but there was also that 128Kg per hand farmers...

What magic is this? Are you a wizard? If the avatar is anything to go by this is going amazingly well. You are an inch shorter and over 30lb heavier than me and look like that! I'm jealous.

Oh and...

Holy crap man, love the new avatar! All that volume you do is showing!

Well, some people use it for doing rows and rack pulls. Rather than using the general purpose racks..



Quite a long row over to Cowes. Possible if you time the tide right, just not at that...

Haven't been taking pics much lately, but seeing as how cmoore started doing his deads double overhand I gave it a go at the same weight as my last set:

182.5Kg DOHD, not hooked. Plates from...

Summer must be coming, gym is getting more popular. At least the squat rack is always free. :)

5 x 65Kg
5 x 82.5Kg
5 x 97.5Kg
5 x 115Kg
3 x 130Kg <- grr, should...

I guess that makes sense. Its not really all that light if you only have half the working musculature enabling you to keep the lift stable. Out of interest how do machine presses work for you?


...

Echoing the above, nice OHP! Cycle to cycle numbers look right on point, you are getting stronger and most of that was in a deficit or at maintenance wasn't it?

Awesome as usual. One thing I'm always impressed with is your ability to maintain reps across sets so well, particularly with upper body lifts. And packing all that into 50 minutes really doesn't...

Thanks and sure you will. :)

Missed it the other week after rowing too. I need to have a think about how to restructure things as I want to continue rowing over the summer.

Rubbish. Head wasn't in the game. Was rushed, unprepared got the weights wrong on the squat and didn't have my usual rack, may sound crazy but I hate the one shoved in the...

Very strong. I can match the 440 but not the 405x8 :(
