Pushing Tin - Paekakboyz Training Log
-
Excellent workout today. Caught up with my mate and we hammered chest and shoulders. Dumbbell bench, flies, cable flies and shoulder press. I got up to 40kg dumbbells on the bench so I was pretty happy with that. <br />
<br />
My hammies are still a bit tender but at least I can walk properly today! Two sessions lined up next week plus sat. Looking forward to getting stuck in, I've got some pb's I want to break so that gives me some goals for my training. -
Squats, core, hammies and a 2k row tonight. Went reasonably easy on squats - chest was still sore so even getting into position was a bitch lol. 140kg was ok but I want to work back up to 160-165 pretty quickly. I'd been cranking on squats before my break. For some reason they improved a lot faster than my bench or DLs.<br />
<br />
With the row at least I can say I did some cardio! didn't even take 8min so I can't argue I don't have time to fit it in. -
Back workout today - pushed pretty hard with weight, will be feeling it tomorrow! Slowly getting back into the swing of things.

Solid session tonight. DLs were pretty good. 1006, 1206, 1306 then 2 sets of 1402. Got a wee twinge in lower back, right above left butt cheek. Didn't slow me down too much but it was a bit uncomfortable about halfway through the lift motion. Made me really concentrate on good form!<br />
<br />
Really happy with grip strength, no drama at all with today's lifts. Aiming to have a crack at 160-165 in a couple of weeks. I was right on the edge of shifting 170 before I lost momentum last year.<br />
<br />
Bench was also much better, 3 sets at 100 done and dusted. Triceps, biceps, shoulders and some core finished it all up. -
Yeah DL's and Squats are definitely my favourites. Bench is good fun as well.
-
Got through some good work tonight. Weighted step ups and hammie curls on swiss ball. Supersets of squats with a bridging exercise on a bosu ball. 6120, 140, 145 then 20100 to finish up. Still a ways off hitting my stride but felt a lot stronger squatting today. Bent over rows, standing shoulder press, rotator cuffs, reverse woodchops with 10, 15, 20kg - 6 reps each side. Then finished with a 2 speed sets on bench @60kg. Warmed down on the rower - 1000m at a leisurely pace to loosen up.
-
decline bench session after work - sets of 6-8 at 80, 100, 105, then two sets of 2 reps at 110 and 120. Still a newbie on the decline but it was a good workout. Far less pressure through the shoulders. Pretty happy to hit 120! We have a DL saturday session planned. That's it. Just DL's lol. Not sure if I'll be able to walk out of the gym afterwards.<br />
<br />
Squats, shoulders, core and arms tomorrow. Starting to get things moving again which is good. -
weighted steps, hammie curls on swiss ball. A solid squat session with a lovely 20*100 set at the end... wobbly pins!! Reverse woodchop, bent over rows, standing shoulder press - rotator cuff work. A couple of sets of curls and seated row to finish up. Looking forward to DL hell on saturday!
-
Boom 170 in DL today. Stoked as that is a PB. Managed 165 last time (late last year). Very pleased. Stated on 100 and worked up in 10kg increments. Reps started out at 8's then 6's, 4's and down to 1 for essentially the 1RM. Primo
-
I need to get a shitload more weights, as my workouts are not really designed to increase how much I am lifting (as I am maxed mostly with what I have) but will have to wait until I get back from the UK in July!<br />
<br />
Putting up some good numbers though Paekak!! -
As I think I said to TR at one stage it is amazing how farkin expensive weights actually are to buy. I was lucky in that I inherited the bench I have from my mate who lived across the road and once I changed his shitty bar I was sussed. The most I can fit on the bar while deadlifting is 150kg ( including the weight of the bar ) but I get round this by adding bricks on the end in pak n save bags ( good for attempting big single lifts ).<br />
<br />
One day I should really chuck a video up cos it does look absolutely ridiculous. -
yeah bro that would be gold - You do live in the hutt aye!! ha ha<br />
<br />
Had been thinking about putting the gym off all day - one of those meh days you get. Did manage to drag my ass to the gym and had a really good workout. Squats are sneaking back up toward 160/165 - managed 1406, 1506, 1556 and my semi regular 10020 to finish up with. Brutal. Had made good progress on shoulders recently and thought I'd have a crack at 60 for standing barbell press. Boom - smoked it for two sets of 6. Did my last set at 65kg! that is big news in Paekak land ha ha - shoulders have tended to lag behind but the hard work is paying off. Reckon I could manage a set at 70 too. And that's supersetted with bent over flies too. Bench was ok - cranking 100*6 for 3 sets on flat bench. Shoulders/upper back was poked by that point though so good to just finish three full sets.<br />
<br />
Saturdays bring the pain workout is going to be pull-ups. All kinds, for an hour! oh the joys ha ha -
Lol, don't know where I got that impression ; )<br />
<br />
45min of pull ups this morning. Wide grip and also some close grip using the seated row grip thingy over the pull up bar. Untold sets - started out managing 5-6 which soon fell back to 3-4. Once we were failing after 1-2 we went and continued on the weighted pull up machine (with the counter balance) - did another 5-6 sets! arms and back were super pumped afterwards. Gonna be very sore tomorrow. -

I'm glad after assuming I lived in the Hutt <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/rugby/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/knuppel2.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':knuppel:' /> to paraphrase Obi Wan Kenobi, "The Hutt is a wretched hive if scum and villainy"
