I've seen him do the same lift with 8 plates. Well not in person obviously...

He also had a petrol powered bench pressing machine, and used to take 750 vitamins, minerals and amino acid tablets per day to try and get steroid like effects.

Marginally mad... But in a good way

Cynical I may be but I've seen plenty of full size black 10K plates, yellows are invariably 15K, 20K are mostly blue – if they’re proper Olympic weights they always are…

Got me thinking of the bloke who first got me into lifting he used to collect strength records at a local level, there’s the lift’s we’ve all heard off then a load we haven’t. He’s probably nutty but most of us areI bet he’s a good guy to talk to.

I’ve only ever seen anyone curl 180K properly that was in the flesh – Kaz – awesome

Ps told you it’d snow :-)

**Tall** · 02-02-2008, 08:16 PM

Pah - we hardly got any snow!

Went to train with Shane again day. Sadly Pikey couldn't make it - we''ll get you up there yet!

Saturday is Shanes arms day.

We did:

EZ Bar Curls
Incline Hammer Curls
Preacher Curls

Tricep Rope Pulldowns
Skullcrushers
Overhead Tricep Extensions

That last set of Skulls was impressive to say the least Shane - its more than I incline bench...

As ever Shane and Rachel were lovely hosts. Rachel kindly looked after me while Shane had his ear chewed on the phone for the first 45mins of my visit

As I was feeling a bit nuts after training with Shane I went and trained AGAIN with another mate as I was in the area...

20 Rep Squats + Other crazyness

Got it videod if anyone fancies a laugh...?

Luckily for me, my height and marginal deafness means I am unable to hear the taunts of others...

Today was supposed to be Push day (Chest and Tri's)...

Alarm didn't go off this morning and I had meetings all through lunch so I gave training a miss.

Got home, felt tired and then I got my second wind.

Mrs Tall wanted to goto the gym, so I thought what the hell - lets do some deadlifts!

I was supposed to do 20 rep deadlifts... So I did... Well... Sort of...

Warm up

8 @ 140kg
2 @ 150kg
2 @ 160kg
2 @ 170kg

I train at a high street brand gym, and I saw one of the trainers heading over to where I was deadlifting / grunting ... Slapped some more plates on and banged out a double.

I thought I was going to get told off for deadlifting, but they had just come across to saw how impressed they were that someone was deadlifting for once and they had never seen anyone go that heavy...

As I thought I was going to get told off I though I had put 200kgs on the bar and was over the moon that I'd hit a double at 200kgs!!

Sadly when I recounted it - it was only 180kgs. Ah well. Inspired by my smashed PB, I carried on...

2 @ 180kg (PB)
0.5 @ 200kg - got it up to my knees then form went...

I now had a small crowd of onlookers. Which basically put me off / I managed to 'talk myself out' of the next lifts...

3 x 0 x 190kg - tried thrice to get it, failed on each
1 x 0 x 180kg - not happening. Glutes had fatigued.

140kg x Reps - just repped it out. Done.

Went to go and find Mrs Tall - she wasn't ready, tried to do some chins and failed miserably...

Went to find Mrs Tall again - still not ready, cranked up Pharoah Monche - Simon Says, and went to redress the balance on the Pulldowns...

5x5 @ 110kg - felt light. Chuff knows why I can't do pullups...? Maybe again its a mental thing...

**Tall** · 08-02-2008, 08:39 AM

Muahahahahaha

Today was legs. Wisely I stayed out until 12pm last night... Ooops... Luckily I only had one beer.

Warmed up on Front Squats
10 @ 40kg
8 @ 90kg

Front Squats are much tougher when you have some weight on the bar...

20 Rep Back Squats @ 90kg
50 Rep Leg Extensions (No resting, no pausing) - forget to record the weight. It was light.

Legs were smoked.

Legs are evil. They must be punished. Muahahahahaha

**Tall** · 09-02-2008, 10:12 PM

Training felt tougher than expected today - even though I had minimal fatigue. Just some adecdotal evidence that its tough to train heavy two days on the bounce naturally.

Bench - 5x5 @ 80kg

Power Cleans - 60kg, 3 sets lowish reps

Wrists and elbows started to ache so decided to leave the Dynamic lifts alone - I think I'm gonna need some assistance learning them.

Hise Shrugs - 10 @ 80kg, 100kg and 140kg

Pullthroughs 3x10 @ 65kgs

Single Leg Glute Ham Press 3x10 (Per Leg) @ 65kgs
