Pushing Tin - Paekakboyz Training Log
-
JK, did you say you had mad dreams on some of these supplements!? I was bloody sleepwalking last night lol!! Could be coincidence but I might give test pump a rest for a while!<br />
<br />
Didn't seem to get any similar reaction from Rage or Jack3d... fingers crossed! -
I have a history of sleepwalking so need to dodge anything that encourages that kind of activity ha ha<br />
<br />
Last night I woke up when the wife asked why I'd stolen her pillow. I'd taken it and my own pillow and put them by the front door... I think I was getting ready for work and thought the pillows were my training bag!! So not more test pump for me... I didn't have crazy dreams etc on Rage or Jack3d so I'll stick with them for the moment. -
just stopped by my local supplement shop. Got three more types of pre-workout powders and two blue pills of a new type of supplement they are selling... I'm glad he gave me a shopping bag as I had all these little baggys of powder!<br />
I got N.O Xplode, Rush, and SP Max. <br />
<br />
I promise I won't take it all before tonight's workout! -

Pussy -
Good stuff mate.<br />
<br />
From my experience NO Xplode tastes like ass (or what I assume ass to taste like)<br />
BPI Rush - is pretty dam good. Should do you well on stim and pump.<br />
SP Max - been around a while but still delivers the goods. Pretty similar to the effect Rage gives.<br />
<br />
The blue pills will be Detonate which is a thermogenic meaning you'll sweat like crazy and probably have appetite surpressed a bit. Its great stuff but probably not really what you are after. Only need to take 1 of them at a time and best in the morning. -
Just knocked back some Rush! off to the gym shortly - should be fun.<br />
<br />
The guy said those blue pills are great for days with low motivation - and spot on in terms of your description JK (he said they are kind of like E!) so that'll be fun to try ; ) -
ok, Rush is gooood! a solid stim for quite a while and definitely a pump. Had a mean workout last night<br />
<br />
Chest and back yesterday<br />
Y and T extensions = 3 sets of 6 @ 4kg.<br />
Bent over barbell rows 606, 706, 706 - very pleased with this - stayed rock solid through legs and torso and bar speed was really good. Super setted with cable flies 3 sets of 8-10.<br />
Bench and seated row super sets were messed up - really hard to lay claim to both when the gym is busy. My bodybuilder mate was working out so I cranked up the weight on bench. 670, 6100, 6120, 4130, 1060 - the 120 and 130 sets were spotted, helping me get past that sticking point low in the lift. It reminded me how good training with someone on bench is - does kinda suck to have to wait for a spot.<br />
Ended up skipping seated rows (will add them in tonight) and did bent over dumbbell row and dumbbell floor press superset. Kicked my ass! 3 sets of 37.5kg for 6 reps each side.<br />
<br />
At the gym again tonight - feels good to be getting along more regularly. -
Another day another crack habit pre-workout substance! This one was pretty mean, came on real quick and I was super focused - probably the best stim so far. Energy/pump was right up there too.<br />
<br />
Weighted step ups - 16kg KB's. 3 sets of 10.<br />
Box squats 1006, 1406, 1606, 1606, 14010, 1006 then I shifted the box and got loooow for 2 sets of 10010. Feel so much more solid and comfortable getting lower now. Not a worry about my knee/s or balance etc. In a couple of weeks I want to suss out my 1RM for a deep squat.<br />
Military press - 606, 606, 506, 506, 406, Bar10 - I've dropped weight down on this to avoid arching my back. Talking to a mate and my PT if you are arching it's more chest activation than shoulders. Either way I was pumped after this - after the back work yesterday I was spreading my wings lol!<br />
Reverse woodchop - 20kg plate 3 sets of 6 each side. Normally I work up to 20kg on this but today I was all business yo<br />
BBBT round the worlds 20kg for 20 reps (10 each way, alternated) for 2 sets. <br />
Seated row - 1006, 1004, 906, 906, 5010 second set at 100 was a bit iffy, really trying to get the bar (doing this wide grip aka a lat pull down grip) right up to the chest on this. Still can't manage two full sets at 100kg with mint form. That is the goal!<br />
Barbell bicep curl drop set. 30kg, 20kg, 12.5kg. Sets of 12/16/20 then 10/14/20. Arms were cranking!<br />
Finished with 2*1min plank. Actually getting a bit better about doing these. They are awesome but it's so easy to skip extra core work. That's why so much of my core work is weights/cable based. Just don't like crunches!!<br />
<br />
Seeing the PT tomorrow - going to run through the front squat workout - tweak some form and basically get a hiding! awesome sauce. -
Doh, can't recall... I've got the baggy at work so I'll update tomorrow!
-
N.O Xplode was the one I had yesterday. No crazy dreams or sleepwalking which was good!! Feeling really good today, keen as mustard for my PT session.<br />
<br />
Rock and roll boys!! -
Mean session with the PT tonight. Had another sample of a pre-workout (can't recall the name) and it was really good. I was really happy with how I went tonight given yesterday was a heavy squat and core session.<br />
<br />
Front squats and bench workout.<br />
3 sets of warm up front squats - count of 3 down, hold at the bottom for count of 2 then power up. Did those with just the bar. Then it was 2 more sets at 40kg. Next focus was taking a deep breath and holding it one the way down and back up - really locks you out through the torso and stops that little swivel you can get in your lower back. Reps of 6 for 40kg, 60kg, 70kg. Next it was a superset of box step ups (with the bar in front squat position) with front squats. 6 step ups with each leg then a set of 6 squats. Repeated for 3 sets.<br />
<br />
Bench warm up was back arches - to stretch through upper back, triceps and get used to the bench position my PT wants. Driving through your feet, glutes and hips locked and all your weight on your traps. 4 sets of those for 20, 20, 15, 15 seconds. Brutal trying to hold that position!<br />
<br />
Bench was mixed with sets of bent over dumbbell rows (17.5kg) - mainly to make it easy to get that super set going. Tough to score a bench and the seated row machine when the gym is busy. Each set started with a set of 6 dumbbell rows then bench - [size=4] 6 reps with a 3 count down, 2 count with the bar on my chest and power it back up [/size][size=4]at 60kg, 70kg, 80kg, 100kg, and 105kg for a single rep at the end. Munted[/size]<br />
<br />
[size=4]Going to catch up with PT again in 2 weeks. We'll focus on another couple of exercises and just smash it out. Good shite [/size]<br />
<br />
[size=4]Cricket tomorrow so a few beers will be consumed![/size] -
Stuff I had last night was SP Max... maybe Super Pump Max?? Either way it was good. I'm going to go 'clean' next week and see how that goes. I'll def pick up one of these products though as they certainly work. Just not keen on developing a reliance on the stuff!

Chest and back day.<br />
Y-T bent over rows. 4kg6, 3 sets.<br />
3 sets of supersets - bent over barbell row variation and cable flies. 72.5kg6 and whatever setting number 10 is on the cables.<br />
Bench stretch <br />
3 sets of supersets - bent over dumbbell rows and bench press. 617.5kg dumbbells and sets of 660, 680, 6100, 4100<br />
3 sets of supersets - bent over one armed row and one armed close grip press while lying down. 40kg6 for each arm. Last set of the close grip press were super tough. <br />
<br />
Didn't take any pre-workout substances today - reckon I could feel the difference. I've use one type or another over my last 4-5 sessions - They certainly make a difference! I've ordered some but will follow what a few of the guys on here are doing, just take it for the heavier days... or days when I've got zero motivation. Promise! -
Workout sponsored by Super Pump Max - yessir!<br />
<br />
Rolled out for about 10min<br />
Front squats. 3 sets with the bar only to warm up wrists and stretch arms, gotta keep those elbows up. 3 count down and a pause at the bottom. 6 reps each set. 40kg6, 60kg6, 70kg6, 60kg6, 40kg6. Getting nice a deep - fingers end up slipping a bit but keeping elbows up and head back meant I could stay upright.<br />
Thrusters - 2 sets of 6 reps at 40kg. Wrists were a bit sore so I didn't go too hard on this. Did a few more F/S sets than intended so I lost a bit of pop to get the bar off my shoulders.<br />
Weighted dips. 620kg, 626kg, 630kg, 626kg, 620kg, 10*bodyweight. Reckon the Super Pump really helps with these.<br />
Supersets of hammer curls and lying down tricep extensions. 18kg for the curls and 12kg for the triceps. 3 sets of 6 reps.<br />
Still had gas in the tank so finished with 2 sets of BBBT round the worlds @ 20kg.
