Wala's workouts!

[wala]

great stuff- the dips are the most impressive thing there!!!!

Thanks alot Scott. I'm happy with dips defo. I'm working upto 10 x 132 - thats a while away but thats what it's all about

Just my wrists with dips, the pressure on them in intense and with them being crappy anyway, it's not a good combination!

[wala]

nice tricep work brocef. do you usually start with pushdowns? and volume looks good to me, just about right imo. nice work with two plates on dips

Thanks Mark.

Yeh, mostly start with pushdowns as its pretty much the only movement that I can warmup properly on to then progress to the heavier lifts and feel no elbow pain (not that I suffer from that, but I feel pain in the elbows if I go straight to a compound type lift)

Pleased with the dips, would have liked 10 reps on the 2 plates lift tho!

Wala if I ever came to England and we did workout, you'd crush me. Those Dips are insane. I'm currently at BW + 25lbs. nothing special at all.

You're a little heavier than me tho, so your lifting a little more than you think?

Just to add anything to your dips is good IMO.

If we ever train together, you'd be fine. (only for the workout tho - afterwards you'd probably die from intensity!! )

[xquick]

bi's nad tri's? someones ready for the summer

srsly though, nice lifting there wala, hitting it hard as always

[5Six]

Holy shiat. Those are some sick numbers today, Mark! Great job, my man.

[matthor]

damn buddy, hope that kne isnt serious and comes good quickly. Pretty wicked arm session there though!

[DeannaOnlyne]

That is cool that you recognized that your back pain was from your hamstrings. I hope that your knee is getting better with rest... sometimes that's all you need, but knees can be scary things... getting injured is something the I am most afraid of right now... I feel that I am more vunerable to injury since I'm just getting back to lifting... I agree with you about most dr's they don't really know much of what is going on... GP's only want to write you an Rx... as if a pill will just fix everything... Keep taking it easy.

[vanillabn]

Sorry to hear about the pain

On the bright side, great workout!! Your dips are AWESOME

Hope you're having a good weekend!

[stealth_swimmer]

nice DB Curls and of course rest of the workout

[doindbt]

I lol'd at "something heavyish". LOL You goof.

Great workout, Mark! I hope the aches and pains are better soon! I think I'm behind but how's the knee doing now?

[Hard Drive]

I lol'd at "something heavyish". LOL You goof.

Yeah srsly.

And Wala man, you're turning into an UPO(upper bod only) man. Nooooo!

Sorry to hear about your wrists!

[MarvelComicGirl]

55lb hammer curls <3 <3! I mean awesome workout! Sorry to hear about the knee and wrist pain hope you heal up quickly!

[wala]

Yo yo! Sup guys!! I'll respond to all your posts tomorrow morning ok, don't have too much time now and going to bed right now!

My boss is in tomorrow morning but then goes on holiday to Spain for [colour=blue]2 WEEKS!!!![/color] So for the next 2 weeks I'll be on alot

My left wrist is hurting. The knee is getting better, haven't really noticed it at all today.. I'm thinking I'm due a week off from the gym right about now and could possibly take this week off - which gives me more chance to get to your journals too which I like doing

Anyway, I put the stuff on that I have so far for my Rambo fancy dress thats this saturday! I need to clean the boots and I need a wig and headband too!

Also, I can't find a toy AK47 gun anywhere, supposedly they can't sell them no more because of all this gun culture crap over the last few years.. They still make em but in blue and white!! If I find one (which I'm hoping I can) I'll spray paint it black (if anyone n the UK has a good Rambo looking toy gun, let me know!)

What do you think? I'll be cutting the vest obviously to look like a proper vest, I bought that top today for like a few ???. Also need a fake knife too

Rambo outfit is looking good so far Wala can't wait to see the final picture of the outfit. Hope you can find the toy gun and knife soon!

Thanks Jen, yeh it won't look the same if I don't get the weapons!!!

On a good note, I can get a bullet belt from the fancy dress shop, so that'll add to the look!!

It's a pain that all these toys I'm after seem to be banned! I used to have them all when I was a kid! lol

[matthor]

Gte a head band and your set mate!

I hope you tell the host what your coming as to avoid a call to the police when a massive badass sporting a kolishnakov rings the door bell

[2 D]

Agreed w/Matt Wala, head band would complete the outfit.

If you can't find a proper gun, go for the bow&exploding arrow combo, IMO that is one of the most memorable weapons from any movie.

Very Badass.

[Hard Drive]

what do you need a gun for?

you already got two of em attatched to your torso. big ones:-p

[vanillabn]

Nice pics!! I had to laugh at how your time on bb.com increases as soon as the boss is away... hehe Hope you had a great weekend!

[wala]

Haha, summer is here already mate, it's been a good weekend and today is another fine day too

Holy shiat. Those are some sick numbers today, Mark! Great job, my man.

Yo Kurt, thanks bro

damn buddy, hope that kne isnt serious and comes good quickly. Pretty wicked arm session there though!

Well over the weekend it's gotten better, I've not even noticed it yesterday or today yet so hoping it it ok now, still gonna take it easy tho!

Deanna, whats up.

Thats right, most docs I've ever gone to with problems related to the gym (being injured) its always 'take 3 Ibuprofen a day' Simple as that! lol

Hey, you do the thing I do when you write.... with a few dots after every sentence.... know what I mean... ?

Sorry to hear about the pain

On the bright side, great workout!! Your dips are AWESOME

Hope you're having a good weekend!

Thanks Karina, the dips were decent, but I think they've messed my wrist up, as I said in the journal that I could feel the old wrist problem coming on.. not the left one is a little bad.

Knee is fine tho i think

nice DB Curls and of course rest of the workout

Yo Stealth, thanks dude!

I lol'd at "something heavyish". LOL You goof.

Great workout, Mark! I hope the aches and pains are better soon! I think I'm behind but how's the knee doing now?

haha, yeh I forgot to look but I don't even think it was marked!

The knee is now fine but my wrist is hurting now! lol

Yeah srsly.

And Wala man, you're turning into an UPO(upper bod only) man. Nooooo!

Sorry to hear about your wrists!

NEVER! I'd never leave legs out dude, I even did half a workout on them.

The left wrist has turned bad dude, not good!

55lb hammer curls <3 <3! I mean awesome workout! Sorry to hear about the knee and wrist pain hope you heal up quickly!

Thanks Jen, the wrist got worse, and the knee feels ok upto now!

Gte a head band and your set mate!

I hope you tell the host what your coming as to avoid a call to the police when a massive badass sporting a kolishnakov rings the door bell

Yeh dude, I know to get the headband, but need a wig too, was just seein how I looked so far. Not bad i guess

Luckily its my sis's party so she know's I'm coming................. But afterwards I was gonna go inot the cirty center where there's a massive club culture and go to some bars and clubs, might not go down well! haha

Agreed w/Matt Wala, head band would complete the outfit.

If you can't find a proper gun, go for the bow&exploding arrow combo, IMO that is one of the most memorable weapons from any movie.

Very Badass.

Yup, hed band is sorted, just didn't put it on there cos have no wig yet.

I'd actually prefer the bow and arrow, but thats probably even harder to find!!! Especially the bomb arrow, that's a cool piece of kit

what do you need a gun for?

you already got two of em attatched to your torso. big ones:-p

Haha, that can be my line of correspondence when asked where my gun is if I even up not having one lol

Nice pics!! I had to laugh at how your time on bb.com increases as soon as the boss is away... hehe Hope you had a great weekend!

Hey Karina, thanks.

Yeh, my boss goes away and I bring my laptop to work to watch movies, I have youtube on listening to music all day, list to some episodes of Pro BBing weekly and most of all post here and the other forum I'm on. Its all good!!! lol

Weekend was way cool, the garden is pretty much finished now, just some piles of waste leaves and mub that I need to get rids of but apart from that it's looking tidy and pleasant. So I chilled out most of the day and got my set of garden tables and chairs out!

[wala]

Hey!

Just deciding whether to take a full rest week off from the gym or do a deload week doing a bout 20 mins of light lifts each day..?

I think I'll try the deload as I've never done that before and could turn out ok.

I vote ---------------> full rest week!!!!!!

It'll do your body a world of good! I saw soo much improvement coming back into the gym after a nice week off. Do it!!

Yay for the garden being almost finished. Are we going to see some new, updated pics in here sometime soon?

Deload...Deload...Deload....after you get your bench workout in.

[2 D]

Wala read some of my notes in my log about my deload if you wanna know I how felt about it.

Ultimately it will pay off, but it was tough going into the gym and scaling back so much, especially since I had recently hit some PRs. With my conditioning work though, it was necessary, the C.N.S has been brutalized badly the past 4-5 months.

[wala]

Tried a deload with light weight, not many sets etc and it just wasn't for me! A full week off is what I'll do, plus even with the light weights I was doing, my wrist was still hurting!

I think you win! rest will do me good.

I'll get a video made while in wok tomorrow of the garden - from start to finish

Deload...Deload...Deload....after you get your bench workout in.

I was tempted to do the full 220 bench session then a light session, but when I got there even a 110 bench gave my wrist trouble! I'll be aking this week off and lets hope he wrist is fully ok by next week, it usually lasts 1 week (whether I train it or not, always 1 week!)

I may come back good from the time out?

I've already seen alot of your stuff Andy, that was part of my reason to try a deload instead of just a week off like I've always done it the past.

You're right tho, its hard just lifting some crappy weight and trying to get a sence of why you're doing it?! The week off will be best this time, especially with the wrist and the knee (which seems better tho)

[amj0883]

I agree on taking a rest week - your body will thank you

Hope you have a great week!!!

[matthor]

go a deload buddy. 50% volume, 75% intensity (weight) should freshen you up after a couple of weeks

[doindbt]

The knee is now fine but my wrist is hurting now! lol

What are we gonna do with you? Take it easy on yourself, hon.

Sounds like maybe it is time to take a quick break...or deload...or something. LOL We can't have you falling apart.

deloading would be a perfect idea.

either that or taking a break from barbells and other movements that force your wrists to stay put instead of following their natural movements.
