Pushing Tin - Paekakboyz Training Log

yeah dips make a big difference. PT has me doing weighted dips at the moment. Wants me to get up to near body weight which is about 100kg! I've got up to 70kg before but only for 2-3 reps, and they weren't full range ones either!<br />
<br />
23 @ 75 is excellent work! -
I've seen a guy doing dips with 5 plates! ffs it was insane. Didn't get many reps in but kudos for actually being able to move with that much weight!
-
100kg is 5 plate innit ? You'r trainers gonna have you doing that <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/rugby/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/knuppel2.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':knuppel:' />

yep, nothing like dipping twice your bodyweight to get you working hard! gulp!
-
Wouldn't want to have the chain too short... catching your bits between two 20kg plates isn't the best way to start your day!!
-
I'm working my way toward it ha ha - I'm doing the dips workout tonight. Can't recall offhand what my PT had me starting on... nowhere near 100 kegs though!

Rolled out hammies, glutes, and legs.<br />
Front squats - 640kg for 3 sets.<br />
Thrusters 640kg for 3 sets. Front squat form is getting much better. More flexible through wrists and getting the hang of thrusters too - using power from legs/hips to drive the bar off my shoulders, lets you get under the bar and switch grip. Looking forward to adding some weight on this one! <br />
Light set of squats 100*10 for three sets. Getting nice and deep now. Not quite ass to the ground but well below parallel.<br />
Weighted dips - 6 reps for 3 sets with 20kg dumbbell on the belt. Finished pretty sweet on those so I reckon I could manage 30kg. <br />
Superset of tricep kickbacks (while lying down) and hammer curls. 6 reps for each, 3 sets. 12.5kg on triceps and 17.5kg on the hammer curls.<br />
<br />
Working hard on keeping the intensity up at the moment. Cranked this out in about 35min. -
Ha ha, pretty sure the most I've added is 60-70kg. Could only do a few reps but with limited range. I've found that hanging a dumbbell off the chain is actually easier than adding plates. I expect this to be one exercise where the weight climbs pretty quick though - PT has made triceps and back a big focus to improve bench and all round strength. <br />
<br />
Will crank up the weight next session and see what I can manage. Don't want to let down the fatbusting crew!! -
Totally agree Paeks, Two recent benching sessions ( for the first time in 3 or so months ) has me damn near my best again, obviously the assistance exercises work wonders, you know the old cliche of one step backwards two steps forwards and all of that. I've been doing high reps with dips but not adding weight, time I stepped it up and added a plate or two now......
-
yeah bro it definitely works - PT is big on the role of the back in benching too. All about the bar position through the push and when each group of muscles gets activated. Stronger though the triceps and back means waaaay less stress on shoulders which is super important. He's a Nazi about pressing in an arc rather than straight up and down too. God forbid the bar doesn't touch your chest either! No pussy benching on his watch yo!<br />
<br />
All about learning good form and building up from there. Funny when we are training and he points out the guys who stack on the weight and barely lower the bar at all! You don't want to be that guy!<br />
<br />
Hmm with all the talk of supplements I'm kind of interested in those pre-workout thingys. Might hijack Kirwan's thread - seems there is a bit of discussion happening there about the different types etc.
