Legs again. Decided on 3 by 5 at 120kg. That was a good challenge.
Usual warm up and band work. Managed to yoink the super heavy duty band so I got some mean tension going on. Worked a treat on my hips. 5's with the bar and then 60kg, 80kg and 100kg. Starting to see a lot of improvement in my mobility on the barefoot squats which is nice.
Did 5's at 100kg and 110kg before the three sets of 5 at 120kg. Had one rough rep that felt a bit odd on my right leg. Nothing sore just a bit off. But no pain or anything so who knows. Finished strongly with some nice controlled reps in the last set.
3 rounds of leg extension/hammy curls. Have upped the weight on both in the last couple of workouts, could probably push harder with my hammys
Threw in seated DB shoulder press. Two sets of 12 with 20kg DBs for a sweet shoulder pump.
KB goblet squats to finish up. 2 sets of 15 at 32kg.96kg today. Have been tightening up my eating again and really enjoying the fasting type approach.

Missed a workout or two but was also down with a cold last week. Covid free and on the rebound now.
Caught up with my homie for a hit out. He's rehabing his knee so we started out with 20min on the bike. Not going to lie, I didn't hate it lol.
Y and Ts and set shoulders with KBs. Then flat bench. Kept it light and did 2 sets of 60kg for 12. Then another set of 25 at 60kg.
Seated row next. 3 sets of 12.
Sitting DB shoulder press. Sets of 12 at 26kg and 28kg. Then 5 reps at 36kg.
Bicep curl - rope attachment and V handle for tricep push downs.96kg which is cool, starting to get the handle on judging things by fit of my clothes and stuff, rather that purely looking at the numbers.

Word to that Brutha, I’m convinced my belt is a bit tighter after Beervana over the weekend. I’m so paranoid I turned down a free ticket to beers at the basin this weekend ( that plus I’m on Dad duty and have a couple more work piss ups in the next few weeks )

@MN5 and holy shit the beers can bloat you something chronic - esp when you've been dry for a while!

A few too many Crafties is a great treat every now and again though

Legs. Gym was super busy tonight, bit late starting on the first day of summer. Not that you'd have any idea about that in Wellies over the last few days.
Still starting with band work on my hips and ankles with barefoot squats. Sets of 5 at 60kg, 80kg and 100kg. Then 5 by 5 at 100kg. Moderate pace and trying to make each rep mint. Working on staying as vertical as possible.
Single leg extensions. Did three rounds back to back as the kneeling hammy curl machine was taken. Then three sets on the hammy curl machine.
Seated DB shoulder press. 20kg for 12, 26kg for 8, 30kg for 6. Quite liking these, haven't really done too much shoulder work - aside from OHS squat stuff.
Two sets of 15 KB goblet squats at 32kg. These continue to be mean finish to legs with the added blast on your core, upper back and arms.Mid 95s today. We were away on holiday and chasing the kids must have counted for something! At least enough to offset the beers I enjoyed. Aiming to cut another 2kg by Xmas and longer term goal is 90kg. Ha ha that's fucking svelte for an ex-prop

Probably an age thing but I’m much more about fitness and being lean and mean rather than bulk these days. Back in the day I freaked out if my weight fell below 80. Still want to be strong but it’s not all about the GAINZ anymore. Probably has a lot to do with not playing rugby as well.

@Rancid-Schnitzel I hear ya bro. I'm still keen on retaining bulk but really enjoying life under 100kg lol. It's funny how you actually see more muscle as you cut, which somewhat offsets the overall drop in raw strength. So I'm trying to think about power/weight as my new benchmark rather than chasing the numbers I was doing at 110kg (or above, ahem).
As long as my BMI is still morbidly obese I reckon I'll be ok
Chest, arms and some shoulders tonight after work. Pretty much training solo at the moment as work and life in general is pretty hectic. Hoping to get some solid sessions in with my gym bro before Xmas though.

Ha ha. Pay that BMI comment

chest, arms, back medley tonight. Solid session and I'm feeling it now!
Did Y and T's, band work and KB shoulder setting for my chest and shoulders. Bit of dynamic stretching also (think of Napoleon Dynamite running... or dancing!) to get things loose. Seems to be helping.
A little bit of wide grip pressing then on to DB bench.Set of 12 at 26kg, then 10 at 34kg. Then 3 sets of 6 with 40kg. That well, only a wee bit of shoulder niggle but good form = no pain!
Seated close grip row. Sets of 12, 12, 10. Adding weight each set up to 55-60kg or so.
Superset of cable rope bicep curls and V handle tricep pushdowns. Went heavy on the triceps and reasonable on the biceps - really enjoy the rope handle for curls, good ROM and you can add a bit of a cheat curl at the top. Triceps were all good - can still feel the pump!Did two sets of one arm bicep curls. Kind of isolation style. Sets of 12 so only had 3-4kg on the cable stack.
Military press. Two sets each with the bar, 30kg and 40kg. Felt really good after all that earlier mahi. Still fucking around with grip width though, my natural set up is pretty narrow and I don't think that is optimal.
Finished with two sets of KB press. 14kg so nothing crazy. Set of 8 first up then 6 to finish.94-95kg today. Happy lad.

Ok but are you looking swole too ?

Smashed legs today. Had a brief training window this arvo and timed it perfectly - even if it hurt during the workout! Wellington was dank as anything today. @MN5 you'll know exactly what I mean - low cloud and humid as fuck. So it was a sweat storm!
Straight into barefoot squats with two rounds of band mobility on each hip and ankle. Usual sets of 5 with the bar, 60kg, 80kg and 100kg. Then 5 by 5 at 100kg for my working sets. Noice and toight today . Ended up squatting opposite a gym mate and my old PT. Basically went set for set which kept the breaks minimal.
Then back-to-back leg extension/hammy curl superset x3.
2 sets of 15 KB goblet squats. 32kg for extra fun times.Sitting 94.4kg before the workout, totally forgot to weigh again to see how water intake v sweat worked out.
