Yikes.Cycle4 wave 1 Deadlift day 5+ thursday 6 december
Greetings, brothers of the iron!
It's the national day of Finland, yeah! I was born there so I celebrate this workout to the old fatherland. Anyways, I learned yesterday, calling the doctor, that bloodied mucous membranes ain't a childplay so I refrained from cardio, but I feel strong enough to take on a the weights, so to the gym I went! Well there I saw that "my" squat rack was taken. It was an aqcuintance tho, a nice you lad and he was doing squats, so we dealt with it nicely. He was squatting at 264 lbs and repping 10 with decent form but with a pussy pad, so I made first of two good deeds, told him where to place the bar; he followed the advice and put on 330 lbs " squatting like a boss, I thought, but it was alas just half squats, which I kindly told ( good deed nr 2) And mean while I started this workout:
Deadlift
warm up
5 x 70kg ( 154 lbs)
5 x 90 kg ( 198 lbs)
3 x 105 kg ( 231bs ) realized I got it all wrong last week, went for 105 kg ( 231 lbs) then,
working set
5 x 115 kg ( 253 lbs)
5 x 130 kg ! ( 286 lbs )
8 x 145 kg ( 320 lbs )
1 x 145 kg ( 320 lbs
1 x 145 kg ( 320 lbs ) singles the Jason style!
BBB standard deadlifts
5 x 10 x 90 kg ( 198 lbs ) - forgot to crank them to 100 kg ( 220 lbs)
Cable Crunches
5 x 15x 119 kg ( 262bs ) maxloadz
Weighted Chin ups @ 15kg ( 33 lbs)
10, 10, 9, 9, 8 - rep PR! a nice show for all ladies around..
Barbell Shrugs[
1 x 7 = 100 kg ( 220 lbs) to heavy to get a decent rep range..
4 x 10 x 90 kg ( 198 lbs)
Biceps curls
8 x 42,5 kg ( 94 lbs) = Rep PR! but heavy like hell
8 x 42,5 kg ( 94 lbs) almost out of form so..
10 x 30 kg ( 66 lbs ) drop set
8 x 42,5 kg ( 94 lbs)
10 x 30 kg ( 66 lbs ) Yeah, gotta do dem awesomme bro curlz !
Thoughts: I did a decent workout today. I whined too much over the performance at tuesday, appearently I hadn't recovered properly and I'm still having issues with sinuses. So hopefully I'm back in full power next week. But the benching awaits tomorrow!
Cheers and lift safely!
Those curls should be done in the squat rack.

Yes, it's whole different ball game when you had a good nights sleep and are fully recovered! Dips felt heavy but I realized the I have raised another 5 kg so..It will also be the working weight at the competion so I'm quite ahead at this dispcline. Lost almost another pound too so my bodyweight is lower than ever. I was thinner at my early twenties..but I doubt I was stronger. So I guess I have done decent jobb this last six months..

Damn U I went for the 145kg today, immediately I knew I wasnt going to hit all 5 reps ha. Banged out the first two and it felt as if I was lifting near my max ha, attempted the 3rd and failed. Reset back to 140 and performed 2 more. Oh well I tried, I knew me adding 10lbs for the last few weeks instead of 5lbs was gonna catch me up. At 140kg I stay....for the moment...soon.

No, If I had known better at that age..lol, but I had fun at least..
Thanks Bro!
Yeah, I've begun to drink camomille tea and quit all mobile and computer activities before sleep. I guess that made the trick..
Yeah, Kelt. You gotta remember two things: 1. It's marathon, not a sprint. Take babysteps if necessary. 2. It's you vs. you so focus on yourself.my workout log -> http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=147657213

Nice job man! Hopefully the wife wasn't too pissed about length!

Random question but does anyone in here know how much extra weight a person can pull using straps in the deadlift. I was talking to a guy in the gym and I asked him what he can dead and he said 180kgs (396lbs) with straps, I asked without and he said he never does ha. So anyone any idea?

there's no surefire answer to this. it depends on how much stronger your body is able to pull in comparrison to the amount of weight your hands are able to hold. most people's backs are stronger then their grips so usually you can pull more w/ straps is all. there's no answer like exactly 87.3 kilo's though

The lost sheet squats
Cycle 4 - Wave 2- Squat 3 + sun 9 december
Howdy all lifters out there!
An odd day, I lost the protocol sheet, so I had to pick up my smartphone and guestimate the weight. Later I was to go for an important meeting to see if I had my assignment left for the next biannual fiscal period. But everybody seem to be happy what I have achieved the last year so I got it unanimously. Rock'n'roll!
But on that meeting it turns out that I lost some papers there too, lol.. Well, I guess the workout as follows went almost by the book:
Pre-warmup
* Treadmill 10 mins
* 5 x 40kg ( 88 lbs) Power Cleans
* 5 x 40kg ( 88 lbs) Power Cleans and Push Press
* 2 x 40kg ( 88 lbs) ower Cleans and Push Press
* 2 x 40kg ( 88 lbs) Clean and Jerk

* 3 x 80 kg (176 lbs)
Working sets:
* 3 x 90 kg ( 198lbs)
* 5 x 100 kg (220lbs)
* 7 x 115 kg (253 lbs) - Rep PR!
* 1 x 115 kg (253 lbs)
* 1 x 115 kg (253 lbs)
* 1 x 115 kg (253lbs)- single works!
BBB Squats
* :10 x 80 kg (176 lbs)
* :10 x 80 kg (176 lbs)

Romanian Deadlifts
* :10 x 100 kg (220lbs)
* :10 x 100 kg (220lbs)
* :10 x 100 kg (220lbs)
* :10 x 100 kg (220lbs)
* :10 x 100 kg (220lbs) - I think it's called romanian when you don't go all the way down...
Donkey calf presses
* 20 x 40kg ( 88 lbs)

really strong dude... squats have come a long way. what variant of your power lifts did you care for the most? also what style jerk are you doing push,split, or squat?

nothing fancy about dragon flags really, it's like not making pullups right at the very first attempts, just be persistent man...
I'm struggling to get them right that's all, I'm afraid, I think they look awkward. The jerks seems more like push style. I really wish I could get some guidance at my gym. But since even deadlift seem to be freaky thing to do there. so...my workout log -> http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=147657213

The singles idea you're running is interesting. It's probably been said in here, but what is the logic on it? Can I read about it anywhere or is it something you're just trying out?
