Notes

Squats were feeling great up until the last rep. Not sure wtf happened. Getting stuck half way up totally caught me off guard, was not expecting that to happen at all. 4th rep wasn't even that slow so I thought to myself "got this easy" and bam... I think I didn't put in 100% effort so I didn't have as much momentum coming out of the hole as I needed to and then couldn't recover once I got stuck. I know if I could somehow repeat that rep, I'd get it!! Oh well, I'll get it next week for sure, no biggy.

After failing that rep my I felt fairly drained and unmotivated. 3rd rep on bench was slow and there was no way I was getting 5 so I just racked it. I'll go up to 117.5kg/260 on Friday for the triple and see how it feels then. If it's heavy as fark I may reset back to 105kg or something on Monday.

Weight: 104.2kg

please give these weights another go on monday, it's not reset time yet.

I wont be resetting my squat but we'll see how my bench feels before making the decision!

[wick]

Fkn chit day today. Felt really drained. Failing on Monday really fkd me up! Even the light squats with 115kgx5 felt heavy.

Only got 2 reps out with 85kg on incline! Failed on the 3rd and got stuck! a guy had to run over and help. Pretty embarrassing. I reckon I couldve gotten the 5 last week with 85kg.

Worked up to 175kgx5 on deads and called it a day. 200kgx5 wasnt going to happen so I stopped there.

Anyways, pretty sure I'm gonna reset everything but we'll wait till Friday before I make the decision. Failing at these ****ty lifts is fkn depressing. No idea wtf I'm doing wrong

[wick]

No training for me tonight

There's a good chance I'd chit my pants while riding there and even if I managed not to, I'd then definitely chit my pants doing squats.

Not sure what the hell I've got but it ain't fun. 6pm here now and I've taken 12 dumps so far. Looks like chicken soup. Eaten fuk all today too!!

[ByronOrpheus]

Oh noes!!!! Lol at keeping a chit count.

[wick]

Oh noes!!!! Lol at keeping a chit count.

haha. The guys at work were.

Pretty sure I've got gastro. Not fun... My gut is making all sorts of weird noises and I'm still pissing out of my arse. Feeling more normal now though so hopefully I'm getting better

[xRequiem]

come on man, I out squat you now...

[wick]

come on man, I out squat you now...

Yeah it's not exactly a hard thing to do though

Hardly eaten anything since Friday so gonna be resetting yet again tomorrow!

[Bum-Life]

resetting yet again tomorrow!

gay !

[wick]

gay !

What's even more gay than that is I'm still sick and won't be lifting for at least a few days Won't be surprised if I've lost 5kg (10lbs) with the amount of food I'm eating

Once I'm better a new log will be happening for fresh start. This one has become depressing & real chit

Gonna stay on madcows or try somethin new bro? 5/3/1 has your name written all over it!!!

[wick]

I think I'll stay on Madcows for a bit... I don't understand why I haven't been able to get out a lot more out of it as I have in the past.

No idea what I'm going to do next though. I wouldn't mind trying coans bench program and jump on mag/ort again. Squats can go fk themselves

Notes

Still feeling sick but thought I'd do a sesh anyway. Weight was 101kg so lost about 3-4kg since last week. Everything felt heavy and ****ty. Probably couldve gotten 5 out on deads but I was already struggling trying not to soil my pants so I just left it there. Gastro sucks major ass

When I was laying down on my bed the other day I recorded the sounds my gut was making. I should upload it for the lols. Sounds realllllllly fkn weird/scary/not good. Anyone know where I can upload about a min long mp3?

fuarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

stay safe brah

[ByronOrpheus]

Holy ****, this log just got way better, or way worse... I'm not sure.

You should do something else besides madcows, that **** has to be getting boring by now.

[Tom Bro]

lol gross. Hope your feeling better brother.

[wick]

fuarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

haha! It was doing that for hours and hours. Felt just as weird as it sounds as well. Felt like my intestines were moving and twisting around. Some really strange stuff!!

Holy ****, this log just got way better, or way worse... I'm not sure.

This is my last run of Madcows. Going to start fresh next Monday with a nice reset and then once I stall will be switching to something else!

[wick]

Squats
Worked upto 142.5x3

Bench up to 105x3

Did the fri workout as normal just Cbf writing it out as I'm on my phone.

Anyway, you'll all be pleased to know my bowel movements are back to normal lol pretty sure I'm 100% now

Lost a bit of strength. For my final run of madcows I'm gonna start on 142.5 on squats, 102.5 on bench and 185 on deads. Hopefully I can actually get some progress in this time ffs!!

[Tom Bro]

So what are you going to move to after madcows

[wick]

So what are you going to move to after madcows

Wouldn't mind giving Coan's bench program a go and prob ort/mag again for deads. No idea what to do for squats.

It would probably make sense to focus on my squat as it's terrible and should be able to add a lot onto it if I tried... But I wanna hit a 600 DL asap!

Really pissed off at the moment. I was hoping to start off with a nice and comfortable week but nope, everything was fuken hard. Why am I struggling with these bitch weights? I'll see how I go for the rest of the week before I change anything, hopefully it was just a **** day. Seriously wanted to kill someone after the 5th rep on squats was a grinder.

Notes

Deads were a lot easier than last week (only managed 3). Prob had another 2-3 reps in me. Incline was just as hard though

I'm going to continue on as normal on Friday but 99% sure I'm going to do a massive reset on everything for my last run at Madcows this Monday. I really want to start off comfortable and not with grinders like I did this week. I'm going to look over my previous runs on Madcows when I went a lot further and copy everything. No bs accessory exercises, apart from calves.. come at me bumlife.

Weight: 102.8kg

[Bum-Life]

f*ck calves ! but close enough.... just make sure you don't do abs or any curls and you should be fine.

You know me. Abs and curlz every day

In other news, I bought a cheater belt last night. I was also looking at buying some oly shoes last night as well but bought the belt instead. Probably buy the shoes next month once I get paid as I'm a bit broke.

Notes

So decided not to reset today just to see how the weights felt.

Used my belt my top set with 145 and it was pretty comfortable. Definitely easier than Monday's squats. I don't think I'll be resetting now on squats after today.

Bench was allllllllllllright I guess... Not as easy as it should be but wasn't too hard. I might not reset this as well and just see how far I can go this time. In the past though, I've always responded better when I've reset to a weight which is easy and then built up. While Monday's weight was a massive reset, it still took me to failure. Not ideal. Gotta have a think over the weekend and decide what I wanna do.

Weight: 103.4kg. Weight is coming back slowly

Notes

FINALLY a decent session on squats thanks to my cheater belt. Nah, even without it I would've gotten it comfortably I reckon. 125x5 on the previous set was very easy and I can usually gauge how hard my top set is going to be from that. The 145x5 was nice and smooth! Very happy I didn't reset

Bench was much easier than last week as well. MAY have had another rep in me but it would've been slow if I did. Last week the 5th rep was to complete failure so least it's getting easier.

Looking forward to belted deads on Wednesday!

Weight: 104kg. Ate like a horse over the weekend. Weight is back up to normal.

[Bum-Life]

Very happy I didn't reset

Bench was much easier than last week as well.

Yay & Yay !

but, unfortunately none of these lifts count as you were wearing a cheater belt
