Pushing Tin - Paekakboyz Training Log
-
I'm with ya there mate. So pumped right now I could fit in an extra workout.<br />
<br />
Gonna crack in to work early as tomorrow as we have a big brekky on and then out to a client for a meeting followed by a spitroast on their premises. Then gonna hit the gym and have a meat/rwc fueled workout before the arvo/evenings festivities kick off. Cant wait! -
Fuelled with WC energy I smashed out a mean session tonight. Lol last couple of reps of each set were all about the last 2min of the final and getting over the line. I had a number of Rocky moments!! no drop kicks though... def a work-on!<br />
<br />
Squats were really good. 1306, 1506, 1406 then 10020 - I was shaking at the end! in between each set was a bosu ball plank exercise. Rotator cuff, shoulder press, some swiss ball curls for hammies and then tricep/biceps super sets. Dips, pull downs and hammer curls.<br />
<br />
Could barely carry my bag to the car. Which leads me to the only downer of the day. Some fuck knuckle decided to rip my AB flag off the car, probably the bloody hippies next to where I park. I was (still am) right pissed! Would have had too much built up lactic acid to take my revenge in any case!<br />
<br />
Was thinking about a workout on Sat but we will be out now. Given the later kickoff/opening I think I'll nip in for some cardio etc just to get super psyched! can't wait! -
Bit of a ho hum workout today. Been a bit slack last few days which is weird as I was super pumped only a week or so ago. Have a strategy to get my mojo back though! ie not hammer as much booze this weekend and get a bit more sleep. Saturday is full up so the aim will be a long walk or a short run on sunday. I'm catching up with a mate next sat to train together. He is a big unit - benching nearly 200kg ffs! I'll give his programme a crack but at 50% weight lol!<br />
<br />
The improved weather (other than the hail!) is making me think more about getting out in the sunshine. One day! -
Bah have been a slack bastard lately. Had a day off crook and motivation has been pretty low.<br />
<br />
Have my gear with me today but I'm full up with meetings/presentations ie work guff. Going to drag my carcass to they gym. Have a Saturday workout planned with my mate so that should get me back on the straight and narrow! -
Made it! decent blow-out. Wasn't as bad as I was expecting. Feel a hell of a lot better afterwards too - totally gagging for some kai now though, def didn't eat enough today.
-
Had a great gym session yesterday before watching my team the Dead Ants knock over a visiting US team. Then wins by the AB's, junior warriors and the warriors capped it off!! farking awesome!<br />
<br />
Only did three exercises during the workout. 10 sets of 8 on the leg press. Surprised myself and worked up to 370 for my last 3 sets. Workout partner cranked up to 540!! he is a big hua lol. I was really happy that I didn't feel any undue pressure/pain on my knee, a really good sign that all the sqaut and DL work is paying off.<br />
<br />
Next we hammered the hammies! standing and seated. Again I was pleased with the outcome. And I managed to navigate the stairs out of the gym as well! sometimes that can be iffy after a mean leg workout.<br />
<br />
Will be catching up with my mate regularly on saturdays. Will be excellent for variety and also motivation. I think I'm getting my mojo back lads : ) -
Was on AB watch at the gym today. Had a few words with Thomo and saw Boric - they are both big units.<br />
<br />
Happy with DL's today - have focused on finishing full sets of 6 and capping out around 120. Grip strength seems to be getting better. Set a crisp pace for the rest of the workout. Got a good sweat up! going to backup tomorrow either at the gym or a gentle run. The weather has been awesome and I'm on early finishes so perfect timing. -
I used to do it pretty regularly back at uni. Have been a bit shy on it with the iffy knee but if I can do squats and DL's I figured I'd be fine.<br />
<br />
Training with my mate again on Sat. Off to the gym tonight so I may be a bit tender come Saturday... not that it'll get me any pity or mercy!!<br />
<br />
Daylight savings and the recent sunshine has certainly got me more motivated. Not so much about 'body-beautiful' but just to be active and outside! -
Good workout tonight. Lower back was a bit tight after DL's last night but once I warmed up it was ok. Squats were good - had the Franks brothers and BBT working out nearby so that put a bit of extra fuel in the tank!! rest of the workout was pretty mint. Rest day tomorrow and another session sat morning.
-
Mean chest and shoulder workout this morning. Working out with my mate - dumbbell press, flies, arnie shoulder press, shrugs and another one I can't recall the name of. As it was the first time through this set of exercises I didn't go to heavy. Still reckon I'll be tore tomorrow!!
-
ha ha yeah in between sets I definitely was checking out what they were doing, and how much they were lifting!!
-
Good hit out tonight. Was a bit crook earlier in the week so this was the first session of the week. Was pretty happy with it overall. DL's were a bit rough but increased on bench. Last set was pretty nasty though. Going tomorrow and on sat morning - not ideal to do three sessions back to back but such is life! We're off to both wgtn quarter finals so I'm glad I'll be sitting down!
-
Arms = noodles. Tricep/Bicep workout today. Weighted dips, close grip bench, pull downs then smashed the biceps with an exercise (can't remember the name) where you start on a heavy barbell for curls then go lighter and then lighter again. By the time you are on the last barbell your arms are screaming.<br />
<br />
Saw a heap of Welsh and Irish supporters in town, the vibe is building!! -
Arms are still on fire! no gym tonight but will be out for a light run. Cardio time!
-
Woo Hoo!! first run in AGES completed. No knee pain at all which is awesome. Did a decent warm up and stretched. Light pace and concentrated on a midfoot strike rather than a heel strike. Thought it made sense to re-invent my running style now while I'm back at square one. The pace wasn't too taxing so the lungs felt ok. Had a bit of tightening on the top of the quads but I'd expected some form of pain in my legs!<br />
<br />
Will be interesting to see how things pull up tomorrow. It's squats day at the gym so fingers crossed the legs/knee doesn't flare up.<br />
<br />
Very, very pleased at the moment. Is that a celebratory Pure I hear calling me!?? hmm indeed it is lol -
Aside from slightly sore quads the gym session was mint tonight. It was lower weight, high volume squats today. Planning on another light run tomorrow so I didn't want to go too heavy. Rest of the workout was all good. Shoulders, core and bicep and tricep supersets. Wrists were a bit sore from close grip bench the other day, was kind of weird as I didn't notice until I started on barbell curls. Def noticing its getting warmer though, was sweating hard out!!
-
Good workout. Now that my running (fingers crossed) is starting up again I've decided to go a bit lighter on DL's and focus more on volume. My grip strength is really coming along which is cool. 4 sets at 120kg and no problems holding on. Mixed core work, rippers and extensions. Bench was tough but good as well. Managed a full first set then two more sets with a spotter. Was fading on rep 5/6 out of 6 so pretty happy with that. <br />
<br />
Got a run lined up for tomorrow evening and then another session on sat morning. All go!!
