***Aussie Winter Bulkers***

[woodsmash]

Thought I was lucky and avoided it, but it has finally hit....

I got the fcuking man flu!

Woke up this morning with a sore throat, now headache and stuffy nose...

No gym this week

unlucky brah, hope you get better soon. I was hit with the flu at the start of winter.

[WideAsleep]

Thanks man!
Yeah, just gonna try and rest, eat a lot more veggies and fruit and hope it goes away soon... Might be a good time to start watching Breaking Bad...

No solutions exist. LHS is always gonna be greater than the right hand side

So coming from a brah who got VHA10 in Maths C and B, answer is: "No solutions exist for y"

What you studying at UQ? (seen your posts before)
And props on someone thinking you're on roids, was that at UQ gym?

been doing arts psych until i figured out what i wanted to do, which will hopefully be commerce if the gpa stars align and grant me safe passage to a rank of 90 or higher
and yer at UQ, cant be certain he was suggesting juice but yer, caught him looking at me a few times, i think he was jelly. which is strange seeing as there are a few over the top blatant juicers there, so i dont know how i became public enemy number 1
also thanks for the maths help

[Neddysmith]

Yeah dat man flu sucks, stay safe....

Pretty stoked with tonights session, brah. First time back doing heavy deads for a couple of weeks, and coming off the back of a pretty dirty cold. Still managed 195kg x 3 on deads, getting super close to a 2.5x bodyweight max! Will have it come cutting season for sure.

Lol don't put me in that group mate!!
Good work though that is massive 3 at 195!!!!

Had my first big sesh since being back and I love the gym!!
Got a massive forearm pump tonight from chest???
And did 7 unassisted clean reps on bench at 100kg which is equal PR so pretty happy!
Dat incline though ... Weak.

What set/rep range you using for bench? I found high volume helped me heaps coming back, was almost at 4x10 reps @ 100kg before I started DY.

Just a thought

Horry sheit, 200kg is my next goal for dl, currently 180 is best and 165 is about all I can pull atm. Strong as faurk man.

The same each time like this:

12x130lb
8x170
8x200
Max out x 220

Once I hit 8x220lb(100kg) gonna change it up...
What you recommend benchbrah?

Mate deadset, i dropped to a weight where 5x12 @ 90s set breaks was hard, added 5-10kg a week, would stay on a weight if I couldn't make the reps...then up it, even if that last rep was a struggle. At 90kg I dropped to 4x10... In 2 months I went from bench 60kg to a new 1Rm of 140kg.

Guessing because I'd NEVER done Such high volume.

[Andybird]

Thanks heaps, brahs.

Lies, you're in the 500lb club, kunt!
I know that feel. Did bench assistance after deads. First exercise = incline bb bench.
4 x 5 of 70kg. Feels bad, man.

thats farking crazy improvement. tossing up how to train after my program ends in 2 weeks, might give that a try
who said they had done sheiko? thats the main one im looking at, keen to hear your thoughts on it

[rb80]

Sup brahs, back from quick holiday in QLD, was fun but did not eat healthy protonz, my angus was not peppered. But home now and can eat healthy again! Gym tomorrow, my body is ready!

@Andy top sh$t on your deads mate, 195 x 3, mirin!

I've done Sheiko 29. Rate it highly, brah. Strength gains were good, and it's not as hard as it looks as you never really lift much over 80%. Just be prepared for super long workouts (like 2 hours).

Welcome back, mate. Get right stuck in to it!
And, thanks

176 pounds must be the weight you automatically get accused at, both on the same day, funny as fuk

2 hour work outs with no pwo sounds farkin draining... i used to spend 2 hours a day when on PHAT but id be taking 2-3 scoops of jack3d a session... duno how i'd go with none. might just harden the fuk up and do it

EDIT: barely any shoulder work, dafuq? cant be losing my bw for reps shoulder presses

What's up Aussie Brethren!
Past two weeks I've finally been able to push 3 plates aside squatting. Only on my 3rd set though, and not quite ATG yet, but definitely bellow parallel. feelsgoodthough because that's what I was aiming for when I joined the gym late last year. Can only get better from here right?
Also had a good chest day today, inclined DB Pressed 42KG for 10 second set, then 10 3rd set with spotting on the last 2 reps.
oh and the wheels as of now:

That's good. I personally havent even had any serious shoulder problems, despite my lack of warming up before my workouts. I've probably had a few minor shoulder problems but weren't caused from lifting.

[carnage1985]

Day after first session back and I'm sore.
Like I've never been to gym in life.

Fukk work sucks after a holiday.
I really need to win lotto

[Shiremag]

Everywhere I go Ausbrahs are on that flu time.
Have avoided in the past but I don't want to get struck down and miss gym. Feelsnervousman.

Quality chest session last night but was a pain in the arse getting there early and it not counting for **** as I had to wait around for the bench anyway.
