well deads again yesterday.managed to add quite comfortably another 5kg to do 214kg for 20.feeling like ive got less and less in the tank for the rest of the workout tho,might be down to not eating as well preworkout or it might simply be how much effort its taking.i do feel like ive worked harder in the past tho with lesser weights.took a pic of the new height difference which i`ll post up.cant beleive so little distance is making this much difference cos i`m not close to dropping the increments down to 1kg yet.
just to reiterate 214kg is just a marker to show progress not to say how much i`m lifting.
still planning on seeing how much i can lift from the floor for a single before my op,i guess i am looking to see if i can do a genuine 200kg lift.

well i did upper body 4 days ago,just felt like i was going thru the motions and didnt have any real grrr in me.seems to be happening alot and i`m kinda wondering whether i`m overtrained or not.altho i`m sure i`m not it would explain my poor appetite too.
i did have a shake rather than just a tuna and pint of milk preworkout yesterday as it was leg day and it did help energy levels(to a degree)
by that i mean that i didnt sack the workout directly after doing me 20 singles (as i`m now thinking of them-as i abuse the term rest pause lol)
as i did 224kg for a single after i`d done 20@204kg t`other week i thought i`d carry on adding 5kg a time, so it was 219kg for 20.
OMFG can honestly say that was the hardest 20 i`ve ever done.it felt like i was using every muscle in my body to lift it.
i do time myself sometimes if i remember,but after 1 rep i realised this wasnt gonna be one of those times.first of i started thinking i`ll do 10 reps-leave it at that and just do the rest of the workout,then i thought fook it do the 20 and call it a day..
well i got to 19 and thought lets see if 219kg is equivalent to 200kg from the lower handles(standard deadlift from the floor so to speak)
errrrr nope lol.
if i`m honest i dunno if i`d get it at the beginning of a workout still which is a bit of a downer..
still at least i can hold 500+lbs without the bar ripping out of my fingers lol.
i did vid the lift and it look s like i didnt even try to lift the bar,soon as i tried to move it i knew it wasnt happening.
anyhoo the main thing is the numbers are still going up!
it had made me think whether i actually want to lift from the floor as my back really didnt like the degree it was at.after a certain point my back feels like its actually stretching rather than bending cos the lower back area is soo tight..

anyhoo id did do some shrugs and some bi curls to finish off with a couple of sets on a gripper too which soothed my conscious abit.
i really want to carry on adding to deads if i can but at some point ineed to drop back and leave myself some energy for other stuff(shouda done calves and theyre not something i like not doing altho theyre the first thing to get dropped and when you got crappy calves - thats not good!)
anyhoo dave came round later and had a workout,poor lamb forgot his gloves lol but as always it was good to have a catchup...)

I'm switching to deadlifting and squatting on alternate weeks (deadlift and squat every 14 days) so that upper body can catch up.

I love deadlifting. It's my fave exercise, but I need everything else to catch upto my back/legs

crazycal1 · 31-07-2008, 05:27 PM

i would too if i could dude.
that is the beauty of the trap bar tho it increases leg involvemnt substantially!

well i havent been posting my workouts regularly for a while now...
pretty much a sign of how much me backs getting me down in general..
finally got my op date thru and its next fooking week!
dunno if the lack of notice is a good thing or not.
the short notice has done nothing to give me the desire to quite baccy and it messed up my plans of doing a month of cardio before it.
had a last workout today and decided to see whats what woth a single deadlift.
i got 240kgs ok but then added (stupidly)another 5kg which is against everything i tell people,but i guess i was too focussed on the 250!
so i failed miserably on 245kg
gonna try and do loads of walking next week and at least increase my lung capacity a fraction lol

thats it for probly 6 months.....

cellaratt · 31-07-2008, 11:04 PM

You will be missed brother...Are you gonna be able to post at all before that 6 months is up...?
