    The fact that you even bothered to work out in such heat is impressive in and of itself and THEN doing squats, very strong squats, **** man, you're a beast. I've done prowlers but they seem evil and awesome at the same time, mostly evil I'd imagine in this heat. Your upcoming sessions are going to feel like a breeze compared to today lmao.
    I fall off the lifting wagon all the time but I'm still here lol

    168.5lbs


    Round 2 .... Squats with the PT


    Paused squats
    10 x 20kg bar (44lbs) 5 second pauses
    5, 5 x 60kg (132lbs) 3 second pauses
    Depth and neural patterning

    voodoo flossing/BW squats
    10

    Squats
    10 x 100kg (220lbs)
    8 x 110kg (242lbs)
    6 x 120kg (264lbs)
    4 x 130kg (286lbs)
    2 x 140kg (308lbs)

    Box squats --- 12" box
    5, 5, 5 x 100kg (220lbs)
    Glutes and hammies
    Pause and power up


    Superset
    Step-ups to 18" box

    10, 10 x 60kg BB (132lbs) alternating legs
    with forward Lunges
    10, 10 x 60kg BB (132lbs) alternating legs

    Superset
    Prowler pushes

    90kg+50kg sled = 140kg/308lbs total x 20m
    4 laps
    With reverse superman
    20 seconds, 20 seconds

    Thoracic rotations/hamstring stretches

    60 minutes



    The session:
    Paused squats
    For depth and neural patterning = drop ATG, pause, explode up
    voodoo band flossing and BW indian squats
    Voodoo band flossing on the right knee = tightasfuk above and below the knee: Speed down and explode up. No knee pain on the right after

    Squats .... T&G .... 'the rack'
    100kg/220lbs x 10 ... felt great
    110kg/242lbs x 8 ... easy now
    120kg/264lbs x 6 ... still good form and speed
    130kg/286lbs x 4 ... starting to feel heavy. Lats rep a bit slow
    140kg/308lbs x 2 ... good form. Speed out of the hole
    I'm keeping the chest up, squatting back and driving up through the hips. I was tanked at the end but didn't fold forwards once

    Box squats
    Box squats 100kg/220lbs x 5 ... hold the breath, squat back, pause on the box and then driveup through the glutes and adductors.
    These felt light. Good speed off the box

    BB step ups and forward lunges
    Concentrating on keeping the head and chest up. 60kg felt good but did not want to bump the weight

    Prowlers
    This was so fcuking hard in the heat ... I just could not cool down!


    Cliffs
    1. Sh!tload of squats.
    2. Form was consistent throughout = didn't fold forwards, even on the 140kg
    3. Tracking was good. Knees were painless. Weight was back through the heels
    4. Box squats felt good with good speed off the box
    5. Prowlers in this heat were deadly but I got through them
    6. Went for my massage after and nearly fell over on the stairs

    It was a really good session ... squats felt strong and my conditioning held up ... and that was despite the heat






    Edit: and the temperature peaked at


    43.4ºC/110.1ºF


    at 2:48pm .... right when I was doing the prowlers


    No wonder I finally hit the wall then

    That heat is why I will never visit Australia in the summer. Finally you are happy with how your session went . Strong squats and stepups there man! Have a good weekend.
    At least where I live it's a dry heat so that you sweat and it evaporates ... I was doing OK with the heat until the prowlers
    I was very happy with my squat form even though the bar started feeling very heavy form 130kg on, and I was happy with my conditioning considering the circumstances

    No thanks on the prowler at 43 degrees, that sounds just awful. Hell of a battle, sir.
    Thanks Sean! I've been squatting the 140kg for a little while but I'm feeling that my form is getting much better with each outing .. it's taking the strain off my knees and I can feel that my hips and glutes are taking the workload. I can feel my glutes and my VMO today!

    Yeah ... the Prowlers sorted me out .. I tried pacing myself but it doesn;t take long to get anaerobic and then the heat just builds up .... I was panting just to cool down!

    That must've been killer.
    I really enjoyed that session. I was concentrating on trying to 'spread the floor' with my feet on the drive up ... could really feel the medial quads activating and they're sore today. After the heavy squats the box squats felt light. On the last set I could not have got a 6th rep. The step-ups and lunges felt good. The prowlers fcuked me over though .. power work in that heat is just deadly!

    The squats felt heavy but the sets were short bursts of energy so I was able to recover without overheating ... the prowlers though are a different beast ... pushing 140kg for 80m really fires up the whole PC and lower body and it's a sustained effort. After that I just sat down and couldn't move while I cooled down for a few minutes. I enjoyed the session and I've got good DOMS from it today




    Today


    Friday 20th December 2013

    168lbs

    Back


    Yates rows
    10 x 60kg (132lbs)
    10 x 100kg (220lbs)
    10 x 110kg (242lbs)
    10, 10, 10, 10, 10 x 120kg (264bs)
    8, 8, 8 x 130kg (286lbs)

    Penday Rows
    8, 8, 8, 8, 8 x 100kg (220lbs)

    45 minutes

    Got a phone call at 5am from my eldest daughter who rang to tell me she was getting cold while waiting for a bus at Dublin Airport ... WTF ... do your kids never stop hounding you? This sort of messed my morning cos I tried to get back to sleep and then eventually gave in to the inevitable and squeezed in a quick session before going to work. It was a short back session today but I got in some heavy work to make it worthwhile.
    I feel great after yesterday's session .. I've got glute and medial quad DOMS which make me feel that I was doinitrite. Knees feel pretty good and lower back is perfect
    Things are getting busy in the run-up to Christmas and the cutting effort is looking decidedly shaky. TGIF!

    Very nice squatting! It seems like your squatting pretty frequently throughout the week which probably helps with form! And don't lie you like when your kids call you

    Thanks Nadeem! I've been doing a lot of squatting and deads and that along with all the other lower body work seems to be paying off and there's no doubt in my mind that it's helping my form. I feel that I'm neglecting my upper body though. And I love my kids ringing me .... just not at 5 in the morning and crying because it's cold

    Mirin row work Andrew, that's a lot of weight for a lot of reps. Which type of rows do you prefer?


    I still bother the **** out of my parents so the answer is probably not, lol

    I used to prefer the Yates rows ... the Pendlays always seemed to leave my lower back tanked and I really just did them because everyone said I should. Lately though the lower back has been good and the Pendlays have been feeling really good. I love the way the Pendlays hit the whole length of the lats so they're now my favourite

    Nice rows, Andrew.
    Pretty damn heavy and lots of volume.

    I've never tried Pendlays because I'm afraid of what will happen to my lower back.
    It's a vulnerable position and my back is weak.
    But maybe I should give them a go with some light weight and see what happens.


    lol @ the 5am phone call.
    As if you could help her in that situation.

    Thanks Tom ... you should try them. Once you learn how to lock your lower back during the row they are great. My lower back doesn't fatigue now so no rounding

    Firstly I had to get her to stop blubbering so I could understand what she was saying, then it was "don't miss the fcuking bus while you're crying to me". It came about 5 minutes later

    I'm going to give them a shot.
    If I slip a disc or something, you'll need to FedEx me some prescription meds.

    lol

    I think the temperatures in Dublin are well above zero which isn't even that cold.
    Now if she was waiting for a bus in Toronto last week when it was -17, then I could understand the distress.


    She's probably a little home sick and misses daddy.

    ^^^^^ corrected.

    I think she wanted me to say 'jump in a taxi and I'll pay you for it' ... would be about a 70Euro fare

    170lbs .. so much for cutting

    Bits and pieces


    SLDLs
    10, 10, 10, 8, 8 x 110kg (242lbs)

    one armed DB floor presses
    12, 12, 12, 10, 10 x 40lbs

    Wide grip lat pull-downs
    12, 12, 12, 10, 10 x 160lbs

    Band pull-aparts
    20, 20, 20, 20

    50 minutes

    40 hours after my leg session and my quads have the worst DOMS they've ever had, and ouch ... my teardrops are super tender to the touch!
    It's all good though because even though the muscles are aching the knees feel good
    I had been thinking that I might do some squats for volume (like 10 x 10 x 100kg) but that would have been stupid. My glutes and hammies however were only mildly sore so I was only mildly stupid and decided to do some SLDLs
    The last time I did SLDLs was 2 weeks ago: I bumped the weight from 100kg to 110kg and it still felt good .. got great tension through the glutes and hammies and was able to power the weight up easily. I kept a few reps behind to maintain form
    After that did the single armed floor presses .. light weight but concentrating on hitting the pecs.

    Short session again because I'm under the thumb .. wifey has invited 6 couples over for dinner tonight so now she is getting all anxious trying to tidy the house up, get the Christmas decorations up, and get the food ready. I've got to get the BBQ ready, look after the booze and do all the house tidying ... after that should be plenty of eating and drinking. So much for cutting to have a 6 pack for the spa bath in France

    I was very happy with my squat form even though the bar started feeling very heavy form 130kg on, and I was happy with my conditioning considering the circumstances
    I hate the heat haha. You are probably somewhat accustomed to it by now.

It was a short back session today but I got in some heavy work to make it worthwhile.
    This is why you should turn your phone off . Strong pulling as always fit!!

    Thanks! I've kept the journal running through thick and thin .. Hopefully three steps forward two steps back
    Haven't seen you around for ages .. are you still doing the personal training? I assume you've gone from strength to strength with your own training

    Yeah im still training at the same gym and business has had its ups and downs. Right now a nearby gym closed down and ive gotten a few new clients that transferred over. My own training has been on pause for quite some time while dealing with a long running back and hip injury. My workouts consist of yoga or cardio with occasion light weight training.

    Thanks Ryou ... I've been trying to increase the workload and the extra fitness this year is helping me to do it. The volume on those squats was deadly because the rest times were about a minute between sets. 72 hours later now and I still have DOMS in my teardrops

    Yeah Ireland for two weeks visiting the outlaws and then a week skiing in France .. sharing a chalet with some friends from home. I wanted to have my 6 pak back for the post skiing champagne in the spa

    It's great that things are picking up business wise. With your own training: having done the yoga and cardio will give you a strong core and fitness base to build upon for that 100 day challenge. I assume that the pyriformis and back are behaving themselves now




    Sunday 22nd December 2013

    170.5lbs ... ate way too much last night

    RPM/HIIT cycle class


    50 minutes



    bench and tris

    Bench press
    6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6 x 60kg (132lbs)

    UH triceps extensions .. Ben P dropset
    14/14/14 x 40lbs
    14/14/14 x 50lbs
    14/14/14 x 40lbs

    25 minutes

    We had 6 other couples over for dinner last night ... a huge cheese platter for starters and then roast fillet beef on the BBQ and a whole lot of Greek desserts. Way too much food and drink ... cut be damned
    This morning was a penance session with the weekly cardio/HITT cycle class to make recompense for last night. I was conscious that I'm going to need to up the cardio fitness for the skiing as well
    After I did a little bit of benching .. I'm going to try to keep up the BB work and see if I can make slow progress again. No doubt about it .. that Ben P triceps extension work is a great way to pump the tris .... inspired by Exane

    That's a good question about the pressing ... after the first few shoulder ops I got back to benching 100kg for singles but the last time I've made pretty no progress .. I do have torn RCs in both shoulders but that shouldn't really stop me getting some progression. I think that I've just become a bit 'gun-shy' ... when I tore the right RC I was benching and it sounded like a sheet tearing
    I'm thinking of doing some programme like Macenko .. the problem is that the current mx would be so low .. probably only 70kg so that progress will be slow. It'd be nice to think that I might get a few reps of 100kg again in a year's time, as long as my shoulders stay safe

    Idk, maybe it's just cos i'm evil but don't you just love seeing new doctors at management meetings for the first time, eyes filled with hope and excitement? Like yes! i'm full of great ideas that are gonna change the world! and then watching that youthful exuberance getting crushed by the harsh realities of gov bureaucracy and public service life? Idk, always bring a smile to my face lol ^_^

    In other news, i'm probably the office sociopath and still haven't even begun to get all my xmas shopping done

    I'm thinking of doing some programme like Macenko .. the problem is that the current mx would be so low .. probably only 70kg so that progress will be slow. It'd be nice to think that I might get a few reps of 100kg again in a year's time, as long as my shoulders stay safe
    Macenko is a solid bench routine. You'd blow away your initial max after the first cycle through the program. 100kg by next year seems quite reasonable, however - Healthy Shoulder > Heavy Weight - but you already knew that
    I fall off the lifting wagon all the time but I'm still here lol

    It's so true .. we start idealistic (except for the Asians .... well most of them .... please don't neg )

    They are good for pumping up those tris ... I've slacked off a bit on upper body lately so I'm going to have to up the intensity and those pushdowns are a good start

    Yeah ... the shoulder health is the main thing. I don't want to be a pussy and not push myself because I expect there to be few twinges, but I really don't want to do any more damage .. especially since my surgeon has refused to operate on me again ... said I was 'non-compliant'




    Monday 23rd December 2013

    was too tired for a go at a PR

    Wide grip pull-ups
    Dead hang to chin-over-bar
    8, 8, 8

    Deficit deadlifts ... 4" deficit.

    With GHRs
    8, 8, 8
    with cobras

    Deadlift ladder
    one rep every minute on the minute
    1 x 140kg (308lbs)
    1 x 145kg (319lbs)
    1 x 150kg (330lbs)
    1 x 155kg (341lbs)
    F x 160kg

    8, 8
    Pendlays felt easy

    70 minutes


    The session

    Deadlifts
    All full reset
    150kg/330lbs x 3 ... all good form. Good speed
    170kg/375lbs x 2 ... 2nd rep was better than the first

    Good form

    Rope pull-up/GHRs/cobras
    Rope pull-ups = biceps and lats
    GHRs = glutes, hammies and pretty easy for me
    Cobras = spinal erectors

    Deadlift ladder
    This should have been relatively easy but I could feel my glutes really tiring.
    I should have got the 160kg single but I was just so fatigued


    Cliffs
    1. Got the 170kg x 2
    2. Got a 175kg single .. starting to lean forward
    3. Should have gone for a 180+ deadlift but the 175kg had been untidy
    4. Deficits deadlifts felt great
    5. Deadlift ladder .. I should have got up to maybe 175kg again but my ass was sore

    180kgs before new year?!

    Completely understandable about the shoulder especially. I just fail to see the point in doing 60kgs bench press weekly workouts again for the next year. I say sub-maximal progressive overload is the way to go. No need to try to hit 100kgs for singles for tge sake
    "i dont know man i try to maintain low bw and gain stregth because what good is stregth if your using half of it to move your body. high stregth plus low body weight equals intense explosion. i think a guy like irish kid or gray horse would mess bs up in a fight due to kickness and probably better punch stregth explosion. i still wouldnt wanna fight bser though hed wreck me due to the size advantage and my legs arent up to par to make me a stregth conter" Sickonstorm

    I've got maybe two more opportunities to get either 180kg again, or even better, get a new PB with 185kg. I'm thinking Saturday (I'm flying to Dublin that evening) or Monday when I'm in Dublin.

    I do need to push it a bit and sub-max overload will be the plan. The thing that I should be wary of is going for the singles ... if I can stay strong in the 5-10 rep range then hopefully what's left of my RC will stay intact

    Yeah buddy, spreading the word! I love it.... such an awesome exercise!


    Great work here Andrew. Grazy amount of pulling, no wonder you were tired! Awesome follow up with the dead hang pullups, those must have been brutal after the heavy deads.

    GHRs, Pendlays, Deadlift Ladder... way to kill it!
    4% shredded with striated!

    Yeah Ireland for two weeks visiting the outlaws and then a week skiing in France .. sharing a chalet with some friends from home. I wanted to have my 6 pak back for the post skiing champagne in the spa


    Thanks Sean ..


    It's great that things are picking up business wise. With your own training: having done the yoga and cardio will give you a strong core and fitness base to build upon for that 100 day challenge. I assume that the pyriformis and back are behaving themselves now

    170.5lbs ... ate way too much last night

    RPM/HIIT cycle class


    50 minutes



    bench and tris

    Bench press
    6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6 x 60kg (132lbs)

    UH triceps extensions .. Ben P dropset
    14/14/14 x 40lbs
    14/14/14 x 50lbs
    14/14/14 x 40lbs

    25 minutes

    We had 6 other couples over for dinner last night ... a huge cheese platter for starters and then roast fillet beef on the BBQ and a whole lot of Greek desserts. Way too much food and drink ... cut be damned
    This morning was a penance session with the weekly cardio/HITT cycle class to make recompense for last night. I was conscious that I'm going to need to up the cardio fitness for the skiing as well
    After I did a little bit of benching .. I'm going to try to keep up the BB work and see if I can make slow progress again. No doubt about it .. that Ben P triceps extension work is a great way to pump the tris .... inspired by Exane


    super jealous


    glad you had a great time at the party though


    wednesday... there will be food!
