Session started off pretty crappy but got better once I got cracking on the dips - shoulders are still a bit of an issue but I'm going to start adding new exercises in over the next few weeks.
Have got some SERIOUS pain in my arms today on the inside of the elbow between the bicep attachment and the upper forearm muscles. My left arm especially is feeling really sore - not worried about it, just need to dose up on the L-Glutamine, day off tomorrow so I'll make the most of it!
very impressive! you still made it look pretty easy haha.
as if you did that without a belt aswell, even more impressive!
I can assure you, it didn't feel easy! Felt terrible! I never use a belt for deads, only for front squats. Anyway, in 2 months time I'm going to do that for 10 reps - that should be a nice little challenge!
Hi Buddy, good to see you again! I disappeared over the Summer, was really concentrating on work
Anyway, I'm back and I'm getting myself ready for the stage! It's going to take a fair old while but I'm gonna do it! How's you're trainng going? Have you got a a log I can subscribe to?

Yeah, was wondering where you went to
Ready for the stage . Get it done! Looking forward to this!
Training is going rather well. Here is my current log:
Nice.....400 lbs for 5 (or was it 6?)......nothing to sneeze at! Your goal will be pretty much similar to mine for DL's this off season. I want 405lbs for 10.

don't put yourself down mate you did a great job.... keep up the good work p.s were you training in flip flops lol
Hmmm... I'll regain my powers over time, it'll just take a while! Although I wasn't actually training in flip flops, I'd taken them off, you can see them just to my left in the video

thats a pretty beastly front squat imo, i cant even back squat that! strong curls aswell
Thanks buddy, it's a PB so I'm happy
Not so pleased with the curls, the form got a little 'loose' on the 60kg ones, I've got a video on my YouTube account with me doing 60kg x 8 strict, looking forward to getting back up to that!
Slightly OT but it might make you lol: When I was stronger, I decided to try some 'power curls' which I'd seen some else on the forum doing - basically, you stick a big weight on the bar and blast it up, keeping form strict at the top but loose at the bottom, if you know what I mean.
Anyway, I had 75kg (165lbs) on the bar and was blasting through my set when some skinny teen walked over to the dbell rack to my right. Totally oblivious, he backed straight into the path of my barbell which caught him across the chest / apper arm and literally floored him.
I put the bar down and went to help him, he started crying and ran away!

Gj on the fronts....im hitting 275 for one or two but the bar always slips its not a matter of me not being able to do the weight.
you should check out my log to see the leg progression since those pms a few months ago....actually all the progression lol look at what i was doing at the begin of my log till now....which is like 4 months its amazing what food does for you.
Bit of a mess of a session - must have seriously over trained my tri's earlier in the week as my bench was a bit weak and after about 5 sets my tri's were screaming!!!!! Seriously sore! Anyway, I'm off to London for a couple of days tomorrow so I'll have a bit of a break from the gym, sure it'll do me good!

Thinking I might be better off having 2 days off inbetween my 2 days on, as opposed to only 1 day off - give myself more time to recover!

hey man cool log, I'm going to sub this and see where you go. Now that you are "training for mass" how exactly has your approach changed? Mainly going for higher reps? Still going to failure though, right?

So I looked at him and then I looked at myself and said 'What was she thinking? Why have macaroni when you can have steak?' and then I remembered that she was a vegetarian.

Hi Bud, my approach before was just doing sets of 8 reps on everything, I wasn't really seeing any progress so I've decided to break my training in two separate weeks:
Week 1: 12 reps - light weight
Weeks 2: 5 reps - heavy weight
I do the same split and same exercises, just change the weights and reps. What's interesting is that the weights used in my sets of 12 don't really differ that much from my sets of 5 - on average, they are only 17% less!!!
I'm tempted to throw in a 'Week 3' at some point in the future, probably using the same weights as 'Week 1' but doing really slow lifts, really concentrating on the contraction for 6-8 reps - not sure, we'll see!

Hmm that sounds interesting. Well man you already have a solid base so I look forward to seeing what you can add to your frame.

Man, glad to be back from London! Sooo hard to stick to a decent diet when you're on the move all day and need to entertain clients and have meetings! Signed the employee contracts with the new guy so took him out for drinks afterwards - had a lot more beer than I've had in a long time but it was good to chill out and not worry about it. Think I'm going to regain my strength today and train tomorrow when I'm feeling 100%.
On a side note, if anyone is into cars - I was having lunch in a restaurant in Knightsbridge, my god, I took a table by the window, it was pure car porn!! In about 2.5 hours I saw:
