JK vs BigRed
-
Pretty good workout this morning thanks to HyperFX, a decent sleep and a day off yesterday.<br />
<br />
Started with 5mins on the bike and then decided to do Fran as a warmup but didnt push myself for time etc. More just going through the motions. Found the thrusters easy enough but I dont kip (and probably never will) so my pullups took a bit longer and the first 21reps took me 3 goes to knock off. Then did 2 sets of 10 back squats at 60kg.<br />
<br />
Deadlifts (5/3/1) - 5 x 115kg, 3 x 130kg, 7 x 150kg (working sets only)<br />
Then 2 more sets of deads for 8 x 110kg.<br />
Hamstring curls - 3 sets of 12 x 36kg<br />
Hyper extensions - 4 sets of 10reps holding 10kg<br />
Ez bar bicep curls - 8 x 37kg, 8 x 37kg, 5 x 42kg, 5 x 42kg and then a dropset to finish of 4 x 42kg --> 5 x 37kg --> 8 x 27kg.<br />
<br />
<br />
Also, just chopped a kiwifruit up and added to my proats. Ewww. Will not be doing that again. -
Insanely busy at the gym today due to it being closed yesterday but managed a decent workoyut nonetheless. Last day of first cycle!<br />
<br />
OHP 5/3/1 - 5x37.5kg, 3x42.5, 5x47.5<br />
Acessory work started with 3 more sets of 6 x 40kg OHP<br />
Pullups - 5 sets of 8, 8, 7, 8 and 7 reps<br />
Close grip bench - 10 x 50kg, 8 x 60, 8x60, 8x60<br />
Seated row - 3 sets of 10x60kg<br />
Skull crushers - 12x22kg, 12x22, 10x27, 10x27, 10x27<br />
Bicep curls - 3 set of 21s at 22kg<br />
Tricep pushdows - 20x48kg, 15x54kg, 12x60kg<br /> -
Funny you say that. Major biceps and triceps yesterday. Hurt the stretch out straight. Back not too bad actually but felt it more Friday than yesterday.<br />
<br />
So weights go up this week. 2.5kg on OHP and DB press. 5kg on squats and deads although may push deads by 10kg<br />
<br /> -
Cycle 2 underway this morning with squats. 5mins cycle and then stretching plus foam roller for warmup.<br />
<br />
Squats 5/3/1 - 5 x 85kg, 5 x 90kg, 10 x 100kg (need to check the weights on first two sets as seemed low so may have taken them off the calculator wrong...doh - but could be due to rounding)<br />
Accessory work<br />
Front squats - 4 sets of 10 at 60kg<br />
Leg extensions - 3 sets of 10 (per side) at 54kg, 60kg, 66kg<br />
Hyperextensions - 3 sets of 12<br />
Standing calf raises - 15 x 126kg, 15 x 160, 15 x 180, 15 x 180<br />
<br />
Quick weigh in too at 79.4kg so still creeping up. Feeling a bit fatter but likely to be due to easter egg and hot x bun consumption over the last few days. -
Looks like some rounding or calculation issues with my squat figures which have effected last week as well so have tweaked it going forward to ensure lifts over the 3 working sets at 10kg increments.<br />
<br />
Theoretically today should have been 80 / 90 / 100kg for 5 reps each. Next week should be 85 / 95 / 105kg for 3 reps of each and then week 3 should be 90 , 100 and 110kg for 5, 3 and 1 rep respectively.<br />
<br />
Sorted.....I think. -
Day 2 of Cycle 2 and pretty solid workout. Legs and glutes sore from yesterday which is always a good sign. Made the rower a bit more interesting!<br />
<br />
DB Bench 5/3/1 - 5x27.5kg, 5x30, 8x 32.5 (working sets only)<br />

Dips - with 20kg added -10reps, 8, 8, 8, 6 (found these real tough. Extra 5kg makes bit of a difference. Could do with longer rests but then would need to unload the weight)<br />
OH cable extensions - 20 x 26kg, 20 x 32kg -
Sucks when you mess up increase or lose track of what you are meant to be lifting.<br />
<br />
Aside from my thread I've been poor at keeping a record of what I've been doing. Really should sort that out and put together an excel spreadsheet or something. -
Another late night so lifting on less than 5 hours sleep today grrrrr. Went well but will be struggling later.<br />
<br />
Started with a row as usual and then 3 sets of thrusters with just the 20kg BB to get fully warmed up<br />
Deadlifts - 5/3/1 sets of 5 x 110kg, 5 x 130kg, 5 x 145kg and then added some bonus single reps at 150, 160, 170 and 175kg. All felt pretty good and had PT watching over me for the top 2 lifts.<br />

<br />
Finished with some stretching and work with the foam roller. -
Shot bro!! That 175kg deadlift is mean. That's my current PB and I'm weighing in about 25kg heavier than you lol<br />
<br />
If I can ever work out why I keep getting a glute strain on DL's I'll be racing you to 200kg!<br />
<br />
Have you tried rolling out prior to squats and/or deads? give it a go, I can't offer a money back guarantee but you will definitely notice a difference! -
Yeah been rolling out prior to squats on Mondays and usually do a good roll out on weds as its my cardio and stretching day but short week so did some after workout today as been feeling a bit tender.<br />
<br />
Have awesome upper chest doms today from incline DB yesterday.<br />
<br />
Should have mentioned I'm back on creatine too. Started some yesterday. See how that helps.<br />
<br />
200kg is my goal for those deads eh. Making good progress as my weights coming back on. -
Skipped training this morning to go to the city gym after lunch. Always cool working out in a random gym you dont usually attend. Head phones on and just zoned out on doing what I do. Did 3 sets of 8 pullups to warmup. Felt great. Pretty much flew up on every rep<br />

That actually surprises me a bit Paeks cos having met you a few times you're hardly a waifish fella and can obviously smash heaps of tin in other lifts. I'd have you at 220-230 at a glance to be honest. -

My goal of getting more sleep this year isn't going well. Too much on work and home. Another training session this morning on less than 5 hours sleep. Hard to grow with rest like that!<br />
