That's the plan mate!!

Moring up quick brosef. Hope the quad comes good soon!

I was starting to enjoy squatting again as well . It's really weird too... It doesn't hurt while squatting but then it starts to hurt maybe an hour or two afterwards, then in the morning the next day it's even worse. Sucks balls mate

Notes

Jumped up to 60kg on OHP. Was actually a bit tough... Will definitely be adding 2.5kg per session from now on.

Notes

Bench was pretty easy. Took my grip out wider and there was no shoulder discomfort at all. Same on dips as well, could go fairly deep today.

Will be doing Madcow deads on the SS DL day as I'm not squatting. Figured I could cope... We shall see

Notes

Chit day. Shouldn't have added 5kg to the OHP... Should've just kept it at 2.5kg. Will repeat next week.

Miscalculated the weights for rows on the first set. Put on 10kg too much. Was wondering why it was so fkn heavy.

Think I may start doing pull ups every session now. I was starting to get decent at them (for once) a few months ago when I was.

do deads mess with your quad at all?

[trancebreak]

Could you get a vid of your DL form one time? Man, I'm so frustrated when it comes to DL's. Can't maintain proper form to save my bloody life, did you have this problem when you first started? Seeing as you're 6'3" and I'm 6'4". Pretty close to just quitting deadlift -_-

[wick]

Not at the moment, but when I first noticed the injury coming back I definitely felt it when I was initiating the pull. Not enough to not deadlift though, it's just squats that really aggravate it.

I'm in the same boat mate! My form is nothing to write home about and it gets pretty bad when I'm maxing. Take a look at my 260kg DL for instance...


I think my form has improved a bit since then but it's far from perfect. I could do with a lot of help myself!

Dips

2x6 with 26kg

Notes

Been a fkn hectic week so haven't been able to hit the gym. Been working till about 9pm every night and just couldn't be bothered going anywhere but home after that. That and I'm in the process of moving, again. Good thing is, is that I'll be in a more central location so hopefully be able to choose a better gym.

[Tom Bro]

Good luck with the move bro!

[maimed]

At a better gym yet mate?

[Bum-Life]

^ This, except "Lift" instead of "do math".

[wick]

I'm back!! We moved into a new house so we only got wifi hooked up today. I've been training a bit, just doing SS with Madcow deads mixed in. Still not squatting... I'm going to Switzerland to ski for a week on Saturday so I didn't want to try before then in case I got injured or something. Will probably give it a shot once I'm back.

Anyway to tonight's workout:

Bench
warmup
3x5 with 100kg (220lbs)

Deads
120x5
145x5
170x5
195x5 (429lbs)

Pull Ups
3x5 with BW + 5kg

Notes

Bench was alright, 5th rep on all sets was a bit slow but otherwise fine.

Deads were kinda hard. This gym has nice round plates at least! No more ****ty hex plates.

Good luck with the move bro!

Cheers mate! It went well. Now living in central London

At a better gym yet mate?

Yeah it's a bit better. Me hoping to find a better gym since I was living pretty central didn't really workout. Just the same sort of ****ty commercial gym, just more of them.

^ This, except "Lift" instead of "do math".

I'm lifting mate!!!

[COBBER]

Finally your back! God dam im jelly of your travels brah

[wick]

Thought I'd start logging again as I'm racing some pussy Canadian to a 600lbs deadlift. Cannot let him beat me...

I've been lifting, but haven't been logging as my numbers are complete chite... Too much travelling/partying really.

This was last night's workout:

OHP
35x5
45x5
50x5
62.5x7 - had 1 or two left in me

Deads
warmup
170x4x4
195x2
215x2 (475lbs)
170x8

some pullups and abs

bodyweight's hovering around the 100kg mark (220lbs)

[Bum-Life]

Thought I'd start logging again as I'm racing my Canadian hero to a 600lbs deadlift, he is the baddest m*therf*cker to ever live, he will 100% win this race...

Can't argue this ^ My money is on that Canadian too.... after he does 600lbs before you, you should get a poster made of him, and maybe he will sign it for you.

[trancebreak]

lmao ^

welcome back wickbrah good luck on mag/ort!

Wasn't too bad... I'm going to Latvia tomorrow till Monday. Going to ask KK for some DL tips. 600 will be a piece of piss next week!

[wick]

Been lifting semi casually for the past couple of months. Had about a 3-4 week break (more laziness) over Christmas and am starting to get back into it. Will start logging again, hopefully keep it up!

Squats and bench were easier than last week. Even though I didn't step foot in a gym or exercise for 10 months, my quad injury is back. Not bad enough to not squat yet, but good chance it'll get worse as the weight goes up.
