Tall's New Log

**Tall** · 25-01-2008, 09:04 AM

Shoulders were smoked from all that heavy rowing on Wednesday! I was knackered from sorting out a load fo stuff last night, and I slept in till 6am...

Chest - all the benches per taken, so switched to DB Incline Bench.
(Weight Shown is Per DB)
10 @ 10kg
5 @ 15kg
5 @ 17.5kg
2x 5 @ 25kg
3x 5 @ 27.5kg

Behind The Neck Press (Olly Bar)
10 @ Bar
5 @ 40kg
-- Didn't have the shoulder energy to continue, so switched to the machine.

Behind The Neck Press (Machine)
5 x 5 @ 40kg

Dips

Still all the benches were taken, so dropped GCBP and added in some exercises for fun

Cable Crossovers
1 set to failure @ 60kg
-- I now see what all the fuss is about...

Tricep Pulldowns/Pushdowns With Rope Attachment
1 set to failure @ 50kg

Done.

Was pushing a mate through a fullbody routine so switched training from the AM to the evening. I have a new routine to follow now too:

Pull
20 Rep Deadlifts
5x5 Chins
Bruch Curls to failure

Push
20 Rep Squats
50-75 Rep Leg Extensions - with zero pausing
Bench (I think I'm going to go for Flat Bench over incline this time)

Dynamic
Power Clean
Push Press
Power Jerk/Jerk

Deads

Never done 20 reppers before, not properly anyway. And tonight was no different!

Was just trying to gauge the weight mainly.

Warmup @ 60kg x forever
4 @ 80kg

8 @ 120kg
6 @ 140kg
4 @ 160kg
2 @ 170kg (PB)
3 x 0 @ 175kg - just failed at shin height on each of them

Next week I'll start at 130kg if I train in the am and work up.

Bruch Curls
50kg To failure (7 reps)

Hey Tall could you please explain to me what a Bruch Curl is. I don't think I'm fimiliar with it or at least not by that name . Thanks

Have a look at this video:

Its about 40 seconds in.

I'm sure many people will have something to say about doing them

Ricky Bruch in the vid is curling 3 plates per side (140kgs....) for reps...

Theres a clip of him doing 4 plates per side (180kgs....) somewhere...

I can't do them that heavy - 50kgs was tough after deads to be honest.

Thought they made an interesting change for the next 4 weeks of this training cycle

Kinda looks like a standard standing barbell curl starting with a mega cheat. I think I would be thrown off balance and fall over if I tried that one . Nothing wrong with em though.

Hmmm almost...

Less 'mega cheat' and more partial BB Curl/Reverse Grip Clean/Good Morning

If that were true you too would have an impressive man beard.

Some photos kicking around in the members photos section I think.

I do!

But its not as impressive as his or yours for that matter King Leonidas.

I'm not convinced that's 140K and that's some odd exercise, nowt like a curl or a power clean even if it is 140K its hardly showing bicep strength - good core strength tho and obviously powerfull... I'd be in casualty throwing weights around like that - shirl at the gym would brain anyone for chucking it across the floor :-)
