Firstly I managed to turn up at the wrong gym... ooops! Pikey set all the weights so I don't have them to hand. I was mainly trying to A) Breathe and B) Breathe without throwing up. It was fairly intense. Leg Extensions: 3 Warmup sets. 2 Sets Leg Extension + Triple Drop, Supersetted with Leg Press + Leg Press Partials Lunges. Unweighted. At this point I could barely walk, talk or stand up. 3x Lying Hamstring Curls, Increasing Weight each set. Couldn't get up the stairs at home without assistance. Had to slide down on my bum. Cheers Pikey |

I think you'll ache for a few days! H did ok but H's forte is long distance not cross country and it was the English cross country relay championships so Team GB runners etc, she didn't enjoy it at all, still a good bit of cross training for the distance running... PS you've improved some since last time we met, much better condition. All the best Pikey |

Legs routine has definately mate am impact in terms of different areas of the quads growing - I can feel that those bits on the outside of the quad are improving. And I know exactly what you mean when you said "You'll be swearing at me later" |

At least I've stopped falling over now Did 15mins walking on the treadmill + 20mins walking to the gym and back which has loosened them up a bit. Going to try and get a deep tissue massage on them tomorrow. DB Flies and DB Lateral raises are up 2kgs per side. Hands were aching and cramping up after the flies and grip kept going, so split the DB Incline Press into 3x5 with 10s rest in between and then 7,5 with 10s rest inbetween. Chest pump was insane!! Delts are starting to get bigger and more defined, which is nice. Coming to the end of this training cycle now, so need to start planning the next one |

Form is pretty much spot on on the positive side of the deadlift, but back is rounding on the negative portion as the weight increases which I think is placing strain on my lower back... This was my first workout since holiday, got upto 155kgs and then called it a day. 4 @ 60kg - Slow 4 @ 60kg - Slow 3 @ 90kg - Slow 3 @ 100kg - Spotted back starting to round a little here 3 @ 110kg 3 @ 120kg 3 @ 130kg - Back rounding at this point 3 @ 140kg - Explosive positive, and just dropped the weight for the negative 3 @ 145kg - " " 2 @ 150kg - " " 1 @ 155kg 1 @ 155kg Sumo Stance Weight felt light upto 150kg Then Incline DB Curls, BB 21s and some Preacher curls. I wasn't planning on doing the above (Bis) but lower back was really aching - guessing bad form on the negative put too much strain on it, and as I never seem to directly work Bis I though what the hell Aching like mad but really enjoyed the workout |

I had 30mins so I did the following: Squats 20 @ 60kg (Warmup) 4 @ 80kg 4 @ 90kg 4 @ 100kg 4 @ 110kg 3 @ 120kg Lower back was pumped like mad at this point. Quick mirror check would indicate my posture is a bit off again so must get to the Osteo. Stiff Leg Deadlifts 8 @ 60kg (Warmup) 3 x 5 @ 90kg (Just making sure form was correct) 2 x 5 @ 110kg Just to confirm on SLDL you do keep legs stiff and just move the hips back until the bar reaches the knees yes? On the last 2x5 lower back was really pumped so set them up in the rack. Tempted to do some rack pull deadlifts next week to get used to holding the heavier weights and build my grip... Any thoughts...? |
