[fishpat86]

Congrats on the PR

[fittofattofit]

Love the Bro session Leigh ... mirin' 60kg x 17

[SlothBane]

Finished with 130kilo X 1 Non calculated actual PR.



Walkout was gash.
Felt heavy as a lorry.

I am happy with the fact that no matter what the weight I bring up. I do not squatmorning the bar back in place. I got no idea why. But will take my luck from my learning of form as it seems to be quite well ingrained.

Worth bumping the vid again. Looked easy for you and like you said no squatmorning. You must have been sandbagging Good programming is good.

I was apparently watched on cctv yesterday on my squat session lol. Got to love the PT guys here where I train. I used to admire them.

They probably thought you were dealing the 'Mexican Creatine' at the squat rack. Beast mode!

Seriously though, your squat form could teach PTs a thing or two. Keep at it Broseph!

[EjnarKolinkar]

That 130 was clean as a whistle. I mean really solid control and power. Owned it from start to finish.

[OzChops]

ITT the sandbagging stops.
I mean that's the only conclusion I can draw from the effortless 130kg squats so soon after 100kg was a goal.

[RT1957]

Never thought I'd post this in here but nice bro session Leigh :-D

Nice to just go in and put something together for a week after sticking to what is nailed on in the program. Really makes a nice change.

Never been a Chest n Bicep kind of guy. Cheers Dave.

CCTV? You're one step away from being the next Geordie superstar, Nick!

LOL. Nope. Cameras everywhere. Desk was watching my lift. Mentioned on the way out.

Dont know wat all the fuss is about You made that 130k squat look easy :-) Nice one Leigh

Thanks Jonny. Spotter being there really clears my head. Saying that. Not thinking about the session due to having no real structure in place prior to training was a relief. (for now)

Congrats on the PR

Cheers Pat.

Thanks Ron. Slowest into the hole I have ever gone. Any faster and I was buried.

My deload official is next week. Playtime this week. Squat progress is good. Lower body seems to not have a stop button at present. Upper body though. Different matter.



Shopping, chilli, spring cleaning. Nothing gym related until Saturday.

[Daniel0636]

God loves a trier.

Stopped at this point. Agony. My arms do not compute and there is nothing for the bar to fix to with low bar.
Someone post me a decent video at some point.
All I can do is rest the bar in the middle of my fingers. Chit hard.

End.

Nothing to report. Playing with form and just getting stuff on paper.. Knees ached after one of the sets on squats. Had to remind myself to focus on foot placement.


Don't hold your breath for any logging for the next 9 days. Will lurk around now and again.

[fittofattofit]

Great way to fill in your last session before a big deload ... 120kg squat ... You know it's eSy for you now
And plenty if volume on the bench rows deads and goblets to make sure that you got a full body workout
Enjoy the deload and the chance to reacquaint yourself with the family

[yaaar]

In for the deload!

[MikeWines]

Not entirely sure I followed all of that last post. haha

You saying that low bar hurt your...shoulders? wrists?

[hostelmaniac]

Takes a couple weeks atleast to get used to low bar. make sure you do good shoulder warm ups and upper body warm ups before you get to low bar squatting


the thing i fuked up the most when i did low bar squat was flared my elbows out like crazy. id suggest keeping them pinned in lol.

[raynerd]

Ahh deload huh? Well I just proved to myself today that deloads just may mean something lol. Right there with mang, my knees were aching too among everything else from bones to hair! How come u are fuggin around with low bar? Just wondering as u have such a minty high bar.

Enjoy you family time man, I am sure Harry has grown like a weed!

[AlacrityH]

Mirin tattoo on calves Leigh you rebel

130kg squats looked solid as well. I feel like you can attempt and hit 3 plates already if you tried.

100kg bench is STILL right around the corner. Soon.jpeg

As for lowbar, I spent 4 months trying to get it and eventually never did LOL. My shoulders and wrists couldn't handle it. So I switched back to high bar and stuck with it ever since and now I'm riding the gains train. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Cheers Andrew. Close now. Finishing off the final bots n bobs to not allow her to be able to run a white glove over anything and find any dirt.

Got to prove I am able to fend for myself. I hope her reaction to my dreamerbulk is not too shocking.

In for the deload!

Great timing. Enough time to read through my endless droll in 137 pages while I do nothing much apart from the odd full body session when I can and if I can.

Not entirely sure I followed all of that last post. haha

You saying that low bar hurt your...shoulders? wrists?

Elbow flare had me wincing.
Shoulders ached like a bastard.
Wrists seemed fine IIRC.
Bar was not able to be pulled in with enough force to allow a good solid ROM.
Was all over the place due to the bar moving at one point.

Old man poverty mobility in upper body. Just need to persevere and eventually it will come together.
I aint a quitter. Gnome sayin.

Harry has teeth. He has changed 100% since I last seen him IRL apart from skype.

I will follow the deload protocol for the rest of my lifting days. It may not feel like one is needed sometimes. But there is no race going on. Just persistence and linear progression.

A week of light(er) lifting works wonders IMHO.

Also gives one a chance to catch up with new form, exercises, adjustments that we can incorporate at a later date.

One of my biggest regrets in life was that ink mate.

I got the squat in me. May even have the bench. Will wait though. Tested the water. Happy with progress.

As for that low bar. I know it aint broke lol. But it is nice to get variation into the workout instead of sitting with high bar all my life.

Cant wait for the 5x5 progress coming up from you. Gonna smash it mate. I can tell. Canditos has done wonders for a few of you lads running it lately.

In on "deload"

LULZ.







Thats it folks. I lay this journal to rest.


Back in 9 or so days for cycle 10.

[MikeWines]

^hence why I'm not a low bar advocate. Most folks don't have the shoulder mobility to do it correctly, not to mention it increases shearing forces on the spine due to the bar placement. I think folks should learn how to actually squat correctly with high bar before they even think about touching low bar and worrying about pushing more weight. Some folks just aren't built for it.

[RT1957]

Checkin in Doughnut....Don't have any input on low bar squats....I'm happy with high bar...deload and the return of the family is a good time to step away

One of my biggest regrets in life was that ink mate.

There are going to be many many people who have that same feeling as they get older. I'm also sorry to say there's also going to be huge hepitatis epidemic in about 20 years.... It's a fad now but it will fade and there will be a whole lot of people out there that will feel the same way. Glad I never did that. I meet a guy when I was 19 at the gym who was about 40 at the time....he had a naked women tatted on his right upper arm and he was going through skin graphs to get rid of it....the graph looked like the outline of a naked women...he told me it was the worst decision he ever made 2 twice...1 for getting one at all the 2 for the one he picked....

See ya next cycle....
