Yeah. Hammer Strength with plates for the first, cable stack the second.
Is it harder to shift the same weight on the cable?Saying that the stack is 100kg and i can manage that ok. But I can manage 160/180 ish on the plates.
Need to try cables with a bigger stack I suppose
100x8 strict press PB

230x2 squat, fell forward on 2nd and started seeing stars, was hoping for 5+.
I've just paid to enter qualifier for England's strongest man
Super excited!
Events are heavy!

Awesome! Really great work.
My comparatively feeble workout today:
Deadlifts 5 x 5 @ 120kg
S/S with
Bench 4 x 5-6 @ 95kg
Pause squat 4 x 8 @ 80-90kg
S/S with
Single arm dumbells row 4 x 8 @ 37.5 kg
Loaded walk with 40kg dumbells - 3 x 40 seconds. Grip was bad on the walks - not sure why. Maybe dumbells are harder to stabilise than kettle bells (which is what I am used to). Everything else felt fairly easy and smooth.

7 weeks post op n my broken hand and discharges from hospital yesterday.
Not mduh sleep last night but managed:
Squat 3x135 (wanted 3x5 at this weight)
Squat 20 reps at 90kg
Bench 3x5 70kg
Deadlift 1x5 110kg
Then a load of facepulls and trx rows. 3 rugby training sessions next week and will hopefully be ok to play on Saturday 😊

Last one from me for 2016 - Thursday was a fairly hilly recovery ride - 35km with just over 400m of climbing. Friday morning to the gym - had the craziest pump in my arms and back, really pleased with the amount of muscle I've added in the last 3 or 4 months, along with some extra fat of course. Dips and pull ups are all but finished now - that's nearly every day since October 1st. Last night was a brisker version of Thursday's ride and then today two really hard sessions on Zwift - 50km this morning and then 50km this afternoon, which pushes my December total for the bike at nearly 1,400km.
Below is a breakdown of my year's total for the pushbike and a small sample of the running which can largely be ignored due to a hip and back injury.
Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this thread in 2016 and happy and progressive training in 2017.

Time to start contributing to this and keeping a bit of a log as the year progresses.
The past few months have been the best ever for training, as I stopped training for physique or any reason other than because I f
king love it, and in that time have gone from strength to...well, you get the gist.
30th December I managed a 190kg deadlift which is an equal PB for me having come back from a knee injury. 6 weeks and I hope to crack 200kg.
I'm off the booze for January so was fresh as a daisy this morning and managed a nice early legs sessions. Wanted to test a max squat following the knee injury and got to 150kg before starting to struggle so left it there. Lots of other leg work to finish the session.
Overall really looking forward to a good year for training; good luck to everyone else in their training this year!!

Awesome work this year, Marcus! All the best for 2017.
Cheers 
Back on it for me - just over 2 hours on Zwift today, and a much harder session than originally intended, but hey ho. Then to the gym this evening, did feel a little jaded but a good workout nonetheless. Have really enjoyed deviating from my diet, nice to have a break from these things, but probably time to tighten up.
Happy New year!
Today's session, the first of the year was really tough, even though I used lighter weight to take into account the fact that I just had a week off (apart from a DL PB last Thursday..)
Squats - 2x12 warm ups and 5x5
Bench Press - 1x12 warm up and 5x5
BB Power Clean - 8x2 reps
BB Clean and Press - 5x5
Pendlay Row - 5x5
Wide grip Pull Up (chest to bar) - 4x10-7 reps

There's never quite 'time off' when it comes to your training, is there?! Today's session, the first of the year was really tough, even though I used lighter weight to take into account the fact that I just had a week off (apart from a DL PB last Thursday..)

Workout last night:
Squats: 5 x 12 @ 85 kg
Wide pull ups: 3x 10-8
Shoulder press: 4 x 8 @ 40/50/45/45 kg
Incline db bench: 3 x 10 @ 30 kg
Bench - had a crack at a PB at the end of the workout so did singles going 80, 90, 95, 100, 105, 110.
I stopped at 110kg as that was a PB (since university), but it all felt quite easy even at the end of the workout. Projected 1RM for me is 114kg, which I think I could do fresh and on a good day.
