Solid work bro. Hope the change with workout times goes well. Might be fighting with more folk for gear/racks etc?? Just channel some CT Fletcher and send those little punks running ha ha

So I tried some 4.30pm lifting today. Had been a crazy day so didnt get any lunch until about 2pm and by 4pm I'd had enough so shot to my local gym on the way home. No time to train tomorrow either so did Deads and OHP 5/3/1 last week of last cycle all in one today. Suprisingly it wasnt too busy and was pretty cool working out in my usual gym with no one I actually recognised. Oh yeah, I rocked a sample of Nano Vapor pre-workout (see [url="http://xplosivsupplements.co.nz/muscletech-nano-vapor-preformance-series.html"]http://xplosivsupple...nce-series.html[/url] ) and reckon it was pretty good stuff. Anyway the lifting...<br />
<br />
Warmup - 500m row and the 2 sets of hamstring curls - 15x 36kg whilst waiting for deadlift platform to free up.<br />
Deadlifts - 8 x 70kg, 5 x 110, 5/3/1 reps of 5 x 140kg, 3 x 155kg, 1 x 170kg which were all very easy then pulled 180kg with ease so pushed on for 190kg and then 200kg both of which are PBs. 200kg felt pretty much like the 180kgs did a few weeks back - bit of a slow pull but in control thru to lockout<br />
Front squats - 10 x bar, 8 x 50kg, 8 x 50, 8 x 50<br />
Hyper extensions - 3 sets of 12<br />
OHP - 5 x 42.5kg, 3 x 47.5kg, 1 x 52.5. All felt ok but shoulder was a bit sore. Seems fine now<br />
Pullups - bit of a struggle 8reps, 7, 8, 6<br />
Skull crushers superset with EZ bar bicep curls using same weight - 12 (of each) x 27kg, 12 x 27, 10x32, 10x32 with drop set on the bicep curls to finish for another 10x27kg.<br />
<br />
So 5/3/1 all done now and time to move on to the next. Looks like I may be limited to 3 days a week though rather than my preferred 4 so not sure exactly what yet... -
Awesome effort mate - that is a mean lift at 80kg bodyweight! CT would be proud - I command my muscles to grow!!
-
Yeah bang on 80kg yesterday when I weighed myself to kill time between sets. So 2.5 x bodyweight.<br />
<br />
Forgot to add a run from weds - did my 5km circuit again in the dark and in the rain. Bit slower at 24.45.<br />
<br />
Did another run tonight down to taka and around past my gym and home while listening to the rugby. 5.79km in the end but hoped it would actually be longer. Oh well. Felt alright and did it in just under 28mins. Will do another Sunday. -
Light jog this evening - just 4km and took it very easy. Had to stop a couple of times to stretch etc as left calf was giving me a bit of jip.<br />
<br />
<br />
This week I'll also be commencing a 3 day split - Legs / Push / Pull. Gonna be a busy week so will just fit them in where I can. -
Managed to get that legs session in today but nothing too serious as want to be able to run later in the week,<br />

Finished with 5mins on the bike and some work with the good old foam roller - always a treat.<br />
<br />
Weighed in too at bang on 80.0kg again which is good considering all the running I've been doing of late. -
