damn, PR's been steady and the weights still climbing. This has been a veyr productive period for you. Back looks massive above!

[8146]

unflexed at that weight and bf, the guy looks damn good! we'll get there!

[MrSinister]

love the fkn press :O rest looks tough too. i like how you're going heavy on raises respect !!

re flex; the guy's a fkn champion. i stalk his journal. (Y) strong mofo and looks good too. regarding that pic; sure i don't like that look either, but it's pre comp and alot of hard work went into that. $hit, if i went down to that low bf% i'd be one giant vein.. respect to the man for the heavy presses at that weight.

i love that seated machine great movement but im gonna have to go back to dumbells.. its too hard to load her up, i had room even at 100kg too!

Haha yeh it ws all just to light another fire up under your ass mate!!!

You are a beast...

Lol, no one would want to look like that. Disgusting hey. Pre-contest though.

haha yeah i know, dont worry i love watching vids of other people lifting... hola is an all time favourite and i just discovered Kpipes0683, his strength is inhuman.

Muuuch better leg session than last time... i really prefer squats being done second, following the pressing is such a great combo.
Had heaps more intensity than last time which is something i needed to improve on leg days. 500 on leg press next time for sure, light weight!
Probably Off tomorrow, chest/tris next.

[8146]

holy crap. man, you've absolutely demolished that press. DEMOLISHED. i am far far far behind now. and what impresses me most is the squat after. LOL. let's see 20 reps at 140 mate

i know what you mean in terms of pressing first prior to squat tho; sometimes it just feels like you're more flexible and switched on. keep this **** right up. post up a pic or two of the legs!

[nads786]

nice job man

good idea not cutting because you are killing it right now and those 6 month cuts killl gains

ta mate, u cant compare leg presses id say ascots would be harder as the sled would weight more, i think this one is more inclined though, who knows! squats did feel really good after it.. i prefer that order for sure.

Legs tomorrow

[141455675]

Hey mate, sorry I haven't been in here for a while. Busy the last few.

You were telling me my rows were high? They look the same haha.

No offense, but can you even feel the lats getting hit on those DB rows? It looks just like you are jerking it up with no control? I dunno, but if it is working - GREAT!

170kg decline conquered!!!!!

You've had forearm trouble before haven't you?

[MrSinister]

i cant remember your form but i think what i was criticizing was how you "thigh row" ie almost slide on your thighs and row low to your waist.. not that its bad its just different to how i do it, i tend to pull more upright as i do rows to hit my upper back. That vid wasnt my best tho, ill get another one up one day.
Regarding the db rows, mate you gotta go hard and heavy to build size and im all about maximum overload.. i used some body sure but in the end its your lats that are pulling it up and down, my rear delts and lats were toasted and sore for 2 days after those.
180 is next on decline and yeah i got permanent problems with tendonitis in my left but this is my right, just a little sore tendon itll pass.

[141455675]

what i said, doesn't mean crap then if you feel it!!!

180 is goona be fkn epic mate. seriously. schweeet. A old man of one of my mates trains at my gym.

earlier this year ripped out 180kg x5 on flat... reps 140 like 14 times. Fkn mauri beast haha. Bouncer - would not wanna mess with him.

Damn that sucks about the tendonitis! How'd youget it in the first place do you know?

tendonitis ive had it for years.. prob before i even lifted... worst thing to make it bad is bar curls so i avoid them, but i feel it occasionally on other things too.

Real nice session, leg press and vsquat combo i would say works better for me than squats, just zapped. Awesome pump after everything.. i really need to focus on single leg calf work, individually they are really weak, i can barely add weight, yet combine i can rip out the whole stack with raises.. strange, could be where a growth bottleneck lies, dont i wish

Went realll easy on the pressing as im doing chest tomorrow, laterals i went heavy as i can, went real well, feel smashed. I sorta feel like i could/should have done more sets but currently im trying to steer away from high volume and pump out the full heavy stuff for obviously lower reps.

[8146]

hahah, comon mate! you know i am taking the mickey!
love the shoulder work. first time ever i think, you're smashing chest after delts! haha welcome to my game bud!

[MrSinister]

worked out with a mate today and had a spot, still not adapt to making the most of it.. i just give up when i know im done when i should be making use of the forced reps!
Flat started off weak but my following lifts got going real well, slow start i guess, but i feel wrecked so it was a good workout.
Brownlow tomorrow so ill either do a quick back sesh or just have a night off, see how i feel.

[8146]

lmfao, i have the exact same tendancy with a spotter, when i start failing; i give up..!!! solid sesh, huge flat db, and the bb work to follow is killer.

[141455675]

Haha, how much are you weighing in at these days mate?

I remember when you first got onto those 55's...now it's 5 reps!!!

[MrSinister]

Haha, how much are you weighing in at these days mate?

I remember when you first got onto those 55's...now it's 5 reps!!!

107kg, 108 must be close tho!
i did a few of 60 a while back so i dont seem to have advanced, but then again i havent done them since then either.. i dont really progress huge on lifts unless i do them regularly, most ppl are probably similar i dunno.
