Well today I decided to apply my new deadlift rep scheme to two push day lifts that I have struggled with in the past. These lifts are the barbell bench press and the overhead press and guess what chumps....

2 NEW PB's!!!

Todays session
BB Bench: 40kg x 5, 45kg x 5, 50kg x 5, 60kg x 3, 70kg x 2

Cardio day

Mother****ing GPS app, the bloody thing should've started tracking me at the same place I finished!!!



Got a pic to some up the god awful wonderful horrible lovely conditions as well



Soooo hot!

[fishpat86]

Leg day

Not a good day.

Todays session

Back squat: 80kg x 3, 85kg x 3, 90kg x 3, 110kg x 1, 120kg x 0, 117.5kg x 0
SLDL: 60kg x 8, 60kg x 8, 60kg x 8, 60kg x 8, 60kg x 8,
Belt squat: 50kg x 0

The squats went ok untill I tried a PB of 120kg and failed, I tried 117.5kg but also failed so that sucks. I moved on to SLDL and they went fine, got a good stretch and really felt it in the hamstrings then went on to do belt squats. I got to the bottom of my first rep and went to go back up and the joint between my right femur and hip went numb all of a sudden. Consequently I fell off the stands and know I feel like that joint is full of ice cold water and very tender!

I ****ing hate leg day, didn't even finish my workout!

Yea that happens usually,what was your PB before that?

I'm not sure as I have never tested it before for the squat. I am thinking that maybe my run the night before had some effect on the attempt though.

[ProtienandIron]

P&I checking in!

Good to see you training hard mate. We're trying to move closer to Cambridge, so if you ever need a training partner or a different place to train, I'm up for it.

might be.Also your attempt were too close.Did you rest enough for the next attempt,you should rest at least 10 minutes in 1RM attempts.

You could chase me with an axe to make me run faster and for longer, good forearm workout for you as well

Probably not, I am going to carb load like a mother****er next week and see if I can smash it!!!

Need to slip some viagra in her drink from time to time.

I saw these a minute ago;

http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/95...ghts/107466362

I would buy them but then they wouldn't match my other plates.

[ProtienandIron]

The price is good mate, but steer clear from those York Hammertone Olympic Weights plates, they are shocking! Check this review I did on them;

....and thanks for the viagra tip!

I saw that pic a few days ago, I hope you got a refund!

[ProtienandIron]

Nope, no refund mate. York Fitness are useless tossers. I sold them on ebay. I would have told given you first refusal, but I wouldnt sell these to anyone I know, even forum chums .

I agree, better to off load them to some numpty and just forget about them. If you have any 15kg body-power ones you want to off load then I am your man!

[ProtienandIron]

Yeah the dude was a really nice guy, but I can only advertise them for what they are, and who ever bids, bids.

I'm always on the lookout for another set, if you are interested we can split it? I want a couple of the small plates and some 20s or 15s.

I'm gonna need more 15's if things keep going as they are.

Pull day

I ****ing love pull day! I hit ANOTHER NEW PB

Todays session
Deadlift: 120kg x 3, 125kg x 3, 130kg x 3, 145kg x 1, 155kg x 1
Pendlay Row: 57.5kg x 6, 57.5kg x 6, 57.5kg x 6, 57.5kg x 6, 57.5kg x 6
Lat Pulldown: 42.5kg x 6, 42.5kg x 6, 42.5kg x 6, 42.5kg x 6, 42.5kg x 5
Seated Row: 60kg x 8, 60kg x 8, 60kg x 8, 60kg x 8, 60kg x 7

The 155kg pull felt good and while it was hard I felt I had a small amount more in the tank, maybe another 5kgs.

[ProtienandIron]

Congrats on the PR buddy! Good choice on the push pull routine.

Cheers broski, I love the push/pull routine. I'll be sad when I have to change to a different routine.

[super_tactical]

In this bich...if that's cool




How much weight are you trying to lose?

2200 seems like a lot of cals if trying to cut.



BTW: Congrats on upcoming marriage!

Fine by me.

I'm doing it slowly to try and maintain what mass I have. I am losing inches round the gut though but my weight is staying roughly the same so I assume I am doing ok.

Also, nice lifts I want to hit a 100kg bench or 225lbs by the end of the year. I have always had issues with bench, mostly confidence but recently I have decided to lose the collars and really go for it. Worst case scenario with this is a few broken ribs and plates if I have to slide them off. (I train alone at home so getting trapped under a barbell is a major risk)

A yesssss, how is your log going? I will have to drop by.

If you stay at 2200 cals you won't really drop that much bodyfat percentage in 7 weeks. I had roughly the same LBM as you when I started to cut cals, about 133lbs.

I would start off eating NO MORE than 1700 cals per day right now if you're not doing cardio, 1800 if you are. You will thank me in 7 weeks. Trust me. Eat 160-180grams of protein every day. It is very hard to do but it will pay off big time.

If you lift 3-4x a week and do not have an active job, your maintenance cals are probably around 2200. Drop to 1700 cals/day to lose 1lb/week

Here's just a peak at what I did. I didn't lose any muscle and actually went up in lifts.

When I weighed:
165lbs: I ate 1300 cals/day
160lbs: 1500 cals
155lbs: 1600 cals
153lbs: 1700 cals

I am now cutting from 11% to 9%BF at 17-1800 cals and have not lost any muscle, lifts have not dropped at all.

good job on the deadlift man,4 plates is next

Thanks.

Some nutrition calculator thing on the internet put my BMR at 2700kcals. I am not sure how you can only eat 1800kcals per day? I am already starving on 2200!!!

You know this!

Although...

A mile into my run today my lower back starting aching and then my right hip joint started hurting. It did this last week when squatting as well, I am going to ring the Doctor in the morning and see if I can get it seen to.

[fishpat86]

Push day

Todays session was a mixed bag, I failed to match my previous PB for overhead press but I got...

A NEW PB

for bench press

Todays session
Bench press: 45kg x 5, 50kg x 5, 55kg x 5, 65kg x 3, 75kg x 1 77.5 x 0, 50kg x 10
CGBP: 52.5kg x 6, 52.5kg x 6, 50kg x 5, 50kg x 5, 50kg x 5
OH Press: 32.5kg x 4, 37.5kg x 3, 42.5kg x 2, 52.5kg x 0, 50kg x 0
Shoulder Press: 15kg x 8, 15kg x 7, 15kg x 6, 12.5kg x 7, 12.5kg x 6

Was chuffed with the 75kg bench but I think I went for another 2.5kg too soon afterwards. I busted out a clean set of 10 afterwards though with a lighter weight. CGBP felt a little heavier than before, I think it was the bench failure ****ing with my head! My shoulders didn't want to play ball today, couldn't hit the 52.5kg for **** and failed at my previous PB as well. Shoulder press was fun, it's nice to burn those wankers with some lower weight!!!

I also did 6 minutes on the rowing machine afterwards.

Every little helps........
