What training are you doing/have you done today? Vol.2

[TheBALDpuma]

Training going well atm, although my knee still isn't right!

Nothing too massive but still progressing upward accordingly...

DLs later today at 190kg for 6
Bench press yesterday at 125kg for 4
OH press singles and doubles at 85kg
Rack partial (about a 3/4) squats yesterday at 180kg for 3. This was to ease my knee back into squatting but it has still made things a little worse.

I can see the DLs getting hard at the 200kg mark, and I've already moved to the next stage (3,4,5,6 rather than 5,6,7,8 with bench press).

pull ups!!!!! Probably my most hated and least done exercise, a couple here and there every now and then! Thing is, everytime I fancy doing a WOD, the bloody things are there!

Had good session today though, I had to use a strong resistance band to help me do a useful set, but it was still tough and I'm not going to hide from these any more!

Working my way up these past few weeks to a 1000lbs (455kg) leg press for 6 reps. Yesterday after 5x5 on squats I ventured over and did 860lbs (390kg). It felt ok, so I reckon in a month I should be there, obviously not squatting beforehand though...

Had another go on the running machine today. Ran 800metres I. Just under 4mins and nearly died

I then did an hour of weights and circuits before having another attempt at running. Took it easier this time and completed a mile in just over 9mins.

I know it's rubbish but I'm just happy my ankle is letting me run. Aim now is to bring that time down into the low eights

[Johnny]

Went to the gym full of vigour and ambition...

Got started and just wasn't feeling it

Squats 1x10@60kg, 4x10@80kg, 5x10@60kg
Leg Press 5x10@120kg
Leg Ext. 5x12@40kg
Hamstring Ext. 5x12@40kg

Barbell Russian Twists 3x20@20kg

Hate it when that happens.

ETA - 3x30 Decline Push Ups. At home. Just now. Feet on the window sill.

Did some cardio on the arc trainer (like the cross trainer) as thumb is still healing. Sweated buckets. Was at a HR of 160-170bpm for the 50minutes I was doing it.

How would you describe afterburn? When your body feels warmer for several hours after exercise?Cos' Eeven hours after having a cold bath I still feel very warm while being sedentry.

Off to BodyCombat tonight.

Getting some cardio in for the next few weeks.

Went on the running machine and jogged 800metres at 10% incline as a warm up. Then just ran an easy 800metres flat.

1 hour of football with my boys on the field

[TheBALDpuma]

[Asterix]

Read this and weep suckers!

Squats - 5x5 @ 20kg
Bench Press - 5x5 @ 20kg
Barbell Row - 5x5 @ 30kg

That's right! Asterix started Stronglifts 5x5 today.

Joined a proper warehouse type gym with all the free weights I could ever need. My apartment block gym is pants - mostly machines and half of them are faulty.

My aim is to simply get some strength into my feeble body - If I end up looking better, which I hope I shall with a good diet, then all the better.
