@jk said in JK vs 2018 - building BigRed:
Still smashing the tin. Been mixing things up a bit and diets been shit house but full of calories.
Had a horrible finisher today after a chest and back workout.
1 pressup then sprint the 25m lunge track then 2 pressups at other end and sprint back for 3 pressups and so on. Worked up to 10 pressups then back down to 1. Closer I have been to spewing for a long time! And I tell ya, I was farken close! Took me a while to come down from that peak.
Cracked this out again today and much easier. Only took about 8mins (wasnt timing but just from memory of the clock time pre and post).

Took last week off to go away skiing and snowboarding with the family. No gym work but plenty of activity on the slopes, either chasing kids or dusting myself off from my own bails.
Back in the gym this morning for Back and biceps. Need to sort out a plan for what I'm doing over the next few months otherwise risk just going thru the motions

Now I am beginning to think about increasing effort on upperbody workouts (fitness up, weight coming off), I popped over here to the best fitness thread, for motivation/inspiration.
I read that you have a knee niggle. That's not good news.About 3 years ago I developed a pain just under the knee cap. I had xray and mri, then based on the results, quickly had an anthroscopic knee op-I insisted on it, although the doctor preferred some rehab exercise. The benefits are obvious-pain resolved, and running well. Although it took quite a while for all the minor pain to go.
The problem was that the knee cap bone had grown slightly bigger at the bottom due to lots of pressure on the knees from hiking 2 steps each time. Hence, it would click or rub against the bone instead of moving freely with a gap.
The solution was to shave off the bone growth-spur.I expect eventually to have to do the other knee.
The doctor also advised cycling as a way of balancing the leg muscles and reducing pressure on the knee cap.I am not sure if this is what you have, but I mention it just in case this info is useful. Good luck-if you have any questions I'd be glad to help.

Good session this morning.
20mins ride to warmup with 10mins heavy going which seems to make a dif.
Usual roll out and mobility before some rubber band work for the squats. Did about 5 sets before any weight went on the bar then a few more sets at 60 and 100kg with the bands. Really focused on the cues and form felt bang on.Rest of workout was leg press, hamstring curls, leg extensions and good mornings before smashing the cavles. Abs and more band work (clam shells) to finish. All felt very good. Could be back in the grooove!

I feel ya, my chest day doms are killing me today, and I think they'll get worse!
Hope you can walk later, lol doesn't bode well for tomorrow!! Sign of a primo workout though!

Just firing along as per usual. Another good legs session this morning. Still doing a lot banded squats and worked up to doubles at 140kg today. All felt pretty good.
Chucked some nasty high rep squats superset with a 50 rep dropset of leg extensions to finish. Pure farken fire!

Good week in the gym.
No major highlights in terms of training but squats continuing to get better. Deads today were a bit slack, just didnt feel quite right but 3 x triples at 150kg for top sets.
Even did some cardio - stepper, bike, rower, cross trainer and even some steep incline on the treadmill.
