Discussion
Bit meh today. Tried as hard as I usually do, but didn't feel it so much, felt like I was just going through the motions.. perhaps mind was too focused on work..
Bench Press - 8 sets of 12-5 reps
Incline Bench Press - 4 sets of 12-8 reps
DB Pullovers - 4 sets of 12-8 reps
Wide grip Pull Ups (Behind head):
4 sets of 6-5 reps (no resistance band - damn these are hard!)
3 sets of 10 (resistance band)
BB BOR - 4 sets of 12-8 reps
Deadlift - 3 sets of 10, 6 and 4 reps (felt weak..)
Reverse grip Pull Ups - 2 sets of 10 reps
Bench Press - 8 sets of 12-5 reps
Incline Bench Press - 4 sets of 12-8 reps
DB Pullovers - 4 sets of 12-8 reps

Decided to go heavier on my daily max today and got a very easy 240kg squat bodyweight PB
Squat every day is paying off

Here is a link to an 'Age adjusted performance standard' chart. Not sure of the accuracy, but I thought it quite interesting...

Plus an article on age, performance and health:

Didelydoo to catch up with still, motivation!
Quick update, circuits at the gym over the weekend - ramped up the rep range up to 60 or 70 a set, mostly on the dips and other bodyweight exercises. Nice to mix things up. Saturday night - hilly bike ride - 45km with 1,000m of climbing, 29kph average. Very windy, pissing with rain, pitch black. Monday was dips and pull-ups at home, yesterday was a huge session on the turbo - average heart rate 175 off a maximum of 190 for 50 minutes.
Tonight a recovery ride on the road, just over an hour, very windy, 400m of climbing, 32kph average followed by some more dips and pull-ups at home.

I've not trained since Monday morning, enforced rest to recover from the last few weeks. Think I'll train tonight and aim for a PB of some kind, maybe a squat. Usually feel pretty strong after a wee rest, so will see how it goes. Think the gym squat record is 302.5kg (beating my previous 300kg) so may go for 305.
Or maybe a deadlift or bench, or something. Or I may not be strong enough for any of them! Be fun finding out though.

Video please! 300kg+ squats just boggle my mind totally.Or maybe a deadlift or bench, or something. Or I may not be strong enough for any of them! Be fun finding out though.
Here's the first (and only) time doing 300kg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqRldtVBflo
Was quite a while back, I'm around the same BW, but carrying a fair bit more muscle. Not been trying to peak, or even training for strength, so I doubt i'll get a PB..... I'll be able to do the first half of the squat easily enough though
It's been 3.5 days off! (by the time I train tonight)- feels like forever though, I do not like taking time off....but, sometimes, it's a sensible thing to do. (Last time I did I pulled a 15kg deadlift PB)

That's the first time I've seen you show that the thing you're lifting actually feels heavy!Was quite a while back, I'm around the same BW, but carrying a fair bit more muscle.

Would you feel happier with a good spotter each side rather than one behind you, or a sling?
I'd feel happier with no spotter- gives me room to dump it if need be without hurting someone- no way 1 spotters catching it if I drop anyway! Let the catch bars do their job....Gassing Station | Health Matters | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
