dependent on goals -

for strength 70-75%
bor BBing 70-85%
for powerlifting 85-100%

whats up with your hands?
wearing woolly gloves/socks will make the bar bigger but harder to hold tho.

einsteins mind was the key to all things...to understand more than to know.

I've broken each one about 3 times over the years - it's a pain to write more than half an A4 page gripping a biro.

They tend to cramp up really easily for some reason.

Using straps makes it much easier to grip the bar without them cramping.

I love training me

AM Session: Legs/Hips/Core

Suspended Keg Carry - 2 Kegs suspended on 5ft Scaffolding pole. Pole held on the shoulders. Kegs weight about 50kgs each, plus somewhere between 10 and 20kg for the pole.

1 lap.

You can only take tiny tiny steps doing this as the barrels are so unstable. Ruddy tough.

Farmers Walk - 2 x 75kg Torpedoes

1 lap.

Much much better than the 1/4 lap I managed last time. Grip strengh improving massively.

Farmers Walking Lunges

1 lap with 2x DBs (I forget the weight) - full stretch with knee to 1inch off the floor per lunge.

1 lap without DBs as above.

1 forced lap as above.

Total of 100 walking lunges. No word of a lie this exercise was spawned by Beelzebub himself. Monsterous pump on the thighs - especially in the teardrop.

Core work + stretching.

PM Session: Chest

From doing the above drove to Bodyworks, who was kind enough to ask me if "I was dying or summat?" And then decided he wanted to see if he could actually make me sick... Nice.

Incline DB Bench

12 @ 22.5kg DBs
10 @ 30kg DBs - Left shoulder disclocated on rep 10. Luckily for me I had a good spotter to get the weight and help me... Oh wait... No that would be me throwing the weight to the floor then

Put the shoulder back in while Bodyworks covers his eyes and tries not to gip...

15 @ 15kg DBs

Incline DB Flies

(Pause at bottom, Squeeze at top)

2x 10 @ 10kg DBs
15 + 3forced @ 10kg DBs

Press Flies

(Cross between Lying Chest Press and Flie Machine)

10 @ Machine+20kg
10 @ Machine+40kg
6 + 3 forced @ Machine+40kg

Next week - scheduled week off training. So just evil cardio.

sounds like a busy day mate, sorry if iv missed something have you had trouble with a dislocating shoulder before? Iv had the same injury really plays me up doing flys

Tall

Yeah both shoulders are a bit of a mess - left one pops out from time to time.

It last popped out when doing DB Hammer Curls - strangely enough while training with Shane...!

SX Dave

must be training to hard mate LOL, my training partner cringes when my shoulders are cracking and grating and i just carry on LOL

Tall

This week I will be mostly training legs. (In the voice of Jesse, from the Fast Show...)

Resting my shoulder this week, so no upper body work. Although I may add some light arm work into the mix...

Tall

Squats

Warmup: 10 @ 60kg, 5 @ 100kg
Fail @ 140kg - Note to self don't wear slippy football shirt for training...

Box Squats To Bench

3 @ 100kg
3 @ 120kg
3 @ 120kg
3 @ 140kg

Definately working the bottom part of the lift. Think hams may be weaker than previously thought...

Staggered Foot Leg Press

2x15 @ 100kg

Duck Foot Leg Press

15 @ 150kg

Leg Press - Standard Foot Position

10 @ 200kg

Bicep Curls Using Tricep Bar

This puts my hands in a hammer grip, which alleviates any forearm pain.

3x10 @ 30kg

Tricep Rope Pulldowns

3x10 @ 40kg


Little twinge from shoulder after the arm work. I'll drop all upper body work for another week to let the shoulder recover fully (barring light shoulder rehab work)

So what are you doing with the shoulder? just doing shoulder rehab?
