What training are you doing/have you done today? Vol.2
Discussion
I haven't been doing too well with my maxes over the past couple of weeks, I seem to be 10kg down on bench and squat for some reason, so today, I thought I'd try and force the issue, but with little success..
Squats:
4x12-8 reps (60/80/100/110kg)
6x6-1 rep up to 160kg and a fail (again, couldn't get back up out of the hole) at 165kg - I have done this quite comfortably a couple of times before, strange..
1xDrop Set of 10 reps wit 120kg
Bench Press
3x12-8 reps (40/60/80kg)
7x1 rep from 100 to 130kg - couldn't go any higher, most I have done is 140kg, this would have been impossible today, just about managed the 130!
6 x Drop Sets of 3-10 reps from 120-95kg
That was almost an hour gone!
Deadlifts - 4x3 reps
Pendlay Row - 5x5
Power Clean - 7x2 reps
Wide Grip Pull Up - 4x12-8 reps
I was totally spent by this time.
Maybe I need to add a little more variety to my diet...

t session today.
Went for volume
Squats 10x10@60kg
Incline Becnh 5x10@60kg
Was aiming for 10x10 squats/bench/Deads but was done after the above so called it. Bench hurt my shoulder too tbh.
Can't shake this feeling exhausted thing. I don't feel ill particularly, just worn out & fatigued.
Was gonna go cycling after bit obviously dropped that.
Working tonight. Hope I wake up feeling better.

Long time no post!
Over the last year I managed to break my knee and tear my PCL ligament, which lead to 6 months of feeling sorry for myself and enjoying the finer things in life (beer and pizza) turned the new year at my heaviest weight of 16 stone 4 at 5'10.
Battling with work drinking commitments and now down to a slightly more respectable 15 in 6 'real' weeks of training. Aiming for 14 by Easter if possible.
Training has included basically no weights, lots of HIIT and I've started spin classes. Will pick back up on weights at sub 14, not too fussed about muscle loss at this point in life

For me this morning>
18" deads: up to 300kg x 4 Sore...
Chins: +20kg x 11, 6,6
Inverted rows: 4 sets to failure
Hammer curls: 3 sets to failure
Decent. Glute ruined the deads and made it jerky, good few more reps if it wasn't stabbing. Probably a PB for the chins, full reps too: www.instagram.com/p/BRVAlkOjQqJ

This morning>
Bench: 130kg x 8, 100kg x20
Push Press: 97.5kg x 10
Dips: +50kg x 18 (+2 rest pause)
Tri push downs: 2 sets
Front/rear delts with bands
Benched in a cage today, hated it- bench was too narrow, set the lift off too low and was constantly thinking I was going to hit the pins at the bottom. I think 1, possibly 2, more reps if I'd risked it on the normal bench set up. Didn't want a repeat of last week though......
Feeling very strong on the dips +50kg for 18 must be a PB. Probably both bench PB's too.

I do my Bench in the cage, and I always seem to hit the underside of the pins on the last couple of reps, quite annoying, but in my situation, I have little choice short of buying another bench specific to flat Bench Press..Bench: 130kg x 8, 100kg x20
Push Press: 97.5kg x 10
Dips: +50kg x 18 (+2 rest pause)

Recently been doing fasted HIIT cardio at 7am before work, and then weight training in the evening. Find it really difficult to have a diet that provides enough energy, but lower calories.
Bang for buck.Enough protein and some sort of mixer can sometimes sort me, protein powder + oats, or a shake with peanut butter in it. Definitely use that fat to fill you up, have you tried bulletproof coffee?

How old are you? And how fat or lean?If you are young and relatively lean, it's very easy to worry too much about calories: just get enough protein and let any excess fat drop off slowly but surely. A much better idea than messing about with your digestion and metabolism by adopting some extreme diet.

30, 6ft2, 15 stone. Not lean, but not fat either. Around 16-17% body fat.If you are young and relatively lean, it's very easy to worry too much about calories: just get enough protein and let any excess fat drop off slowly but surely.
