I thought Ultimate Warrior had done that to Andre, but google tells me it was just a body slam...
Even with all the help the ‘slamee’ gives there is no fucken way on earth Andre would get Gorilla pressed.

Impssive balance from the Giant.

Jerry C used to say that Neemia T could press him!

Magnificent effort 'berg' but definitely helped by a bit of leg drive from the Big Show there.

Good hit out tonight in spite of a niggly hip and wrist. Strict widegrip press, DB floor press and rows, widegrip seated row, standing KB one arm press. Lots of volume to slay the preworkout tingles!!

It's also an amazing level of trust. Goldberg fucks that up, Big Show never walks again.

Missed a workout about 10 days ago. But then my right wrist flared up something chronic. If only I had medicinal chronic for it lol. But it's been slow to come right, although it is much improved since Sunday or so. Acute pain in the middle of the wrist, especially when bending my hand down or up. Suspect something has aggravated it as I never had a moment where I thought I'd fucked my wrist.
I seem quite 'lucky' with that sort of injury - I guess most of my niggles are from volume and an issue building up over time. Rarely have I actually broken something in the workout... fingers crossed! But I try to lift smart these days, rather than everyday is 1RM day.Felt pretty good aside from the wrist after over a week off. Would be better to do a light deload week rather than nothing. But I've been wrecked with cricket hours, have pretty much shifted my bodyclock
Bench tonight. Flat to start. Used my mates wrist straps and they made heaps of difference. Warm up sets of 8-10 at 60 and 80kg. My working sets were two sets of 10 at 100kg then 15 at 80kg.
Incline press next. Set of 10 at 50kg, then 10 more at 60kg. Final set of 6 at 80kg to finish.
Finished up with cable flys. 3 sets of 10-12, really trying to hit dem biddies.Was really good to do a bit of mahi tonight. Legs or back tomorrow then the other on Thursday. Warriors at the Cake Tin on Friday too. Lets hooks some sharks lads!!

What else might you have done to place excess strain on that wrist?
-
In all seriousness, hope it gets better soon. That not the kind of injury you want as a heavy lifter.
-
Cheers mate! It's improving and I've been able to work around it with training this week which has been good. But man I've got DOMs all over. We did a lighter leg session last night and my mate aggravated his hip again.
I worked well within myself and the heaviest I got to was 4 sets of 5-6 at 100kg. Tried the yoke bar (no idea what it's real name is) that lets you mimic a front squat without having to get in rack position. So I got in some back and front squats.
Hitting back tonight with some leg accessory stuff. 3 days straight of training will kick my ass for sure.
Back on the fasting wagon after a week or so off. I was still fasting but not actively tracking it, and now the CWC is over I can finally get back to a usual sleep schedule. Had almost shifted my body clock over the last wee while. Paying for that now in the mornings, doh.
Gym bro and I are looking to hit a course of creatine soon. He's been trying to bulk while I've been cutting. But I'm ok with a bit of weight increase if I know it's mainly muscle mass. Also wondering if that might be what I need to finally crack that 150kg bench.
-
Back and shoulders last night. Was feeling my leg doms so that made push pressing interesting. Wrist is getting better, feels like using it is helping rather than making it worse... I hope!!
Strict wide grip press. Sets of 6 from 30kg up to a couple of sets at 60kg. Push pressing between 70kg and 85kg. Going to work towards 90+ but given the hip niggles I've got time before I'll be doing any heavier overhead squats.
DB row and floor press combo next up. 30kg DB and sets of 8 each arm. 3 rounds of that. The weight was cake but it's the pressing motion that fires my wrist the most. So good to get some mahi done without going heavy.
Cable face pulls next. Using the rope attachment. 3 sets of those. Then light cable rear delt reverse flies. These are pretty technical wee buggers. But holy shit, when you get your form right they burn like a mofo. Especially when you rep them to failure and hold the last rep.
Sitting around 104kg which I'm happy with given my eating and sleep went to shit with the CWC. I was only kind of doing fasting during that time, and a few more takeaways. But back on track now.
Sore today after 3 days straight training. But feeling stronk!

Scrubbed up ok after last weeks training. Wrist is still being a bitch but does seem to simmer down a bit when I'm training. As long as I really make sure to lock it during lifts etc. Slowly improving, don't mention rest!!
Biddies last night. Sets shoulders and Y and T's - have moved to 4kg DBs on the Y/T's - guaranteed to deliver a sick burn!
Flat bench. Warm up sets of 10 at 60kg and 80kg. Then into working sets. 2 sets of 80kg for 10, then 4 sets of 90kg for 10. Making sure I was keeping my wrist in a neutral position so sticking with a modest weight was the way to go. Made sure I did things at a decent clip so I was even puffing a bit at the end!!
Incline press. Sets of 6 at 60kg, 70kg and two sets at 80kg.
DB flies. 14kg DB. 3 sets of 12, going really wide and slow for the descent. At the end of each set we had the DB's pushed together for a close grip pulse kind of thing. Really squeezing the biddies to get that burn and pump going. It worked!!
Sitting at 104kg at the moment. Eating is going fine and fasting is back on track. My gym bro and I are looking at a cycle of creatine. He's chasing a bulk and I'm not opposed to putting on more lean muscle. But the hundy is still the goal - from there it'll transition to a bodyfat % in the low teens I reckon.

Thinking of going the creatine as well. Any tips on the best way to do it? Any potential downsides?

@Rancid-Schnitzel my mate has more exp than I. From my reading its about getting that 5gm daily dose in for the cycle, drinking water and obviously training.
There is some talk about a pre loading approach then taking a lower daily amount. My mate doesn't rate that though. Reckons you waste some of the creatine as your body can only process so much. But I read the preload is a way to avoid as much weight increase.
So that's where we differ. He wants max bulk while I want lean muscle and minimise body fat.
Will let you know what we end up doing

Cool. Did it ages ago but just took the recommended amount if I could remember in the morning. Don't think it made much difference but obviously I wasn't paying much attention. I once got on the piss with a scientist and he reckoned creatine was the way to go.
My previous swimming coach also recommended those fat burner drinks. Haven't got around to getting any, but anything that burns fat and is recommended by a national level athlete should be worth a gander.
-
Pretty sure we gave it a hoon in uni, but that was years ago now. The lifting guys I follow swear by it as the single best (legal and safe) option to build bulk and get stronger. I think you do need to be pretty disciplined with it for best effect.
Fat burners? would be interested in what your coach recommended. In my experience they all have certain ingredients that I'm not sure pro athletes should be taking ha ha. Haven't tried any of the current crop though, I'm sure there are a bunch of options that are clean and within doping rules.
he was a man mountain aye!
