180kg x3
200kg x5 (rep PB!)
531 over....
220kg x1
200kg x2
180kg x4

Bit of fun trying out new stance, feels good for rep work an d feel it more in the hamstrings so guess that's a good thing? Hard to tell as have been up and down ladders all week and hanging out of windows a lot so body's a bit beaten up

Bent over rows
Pendlay: 100kg x5 - still irritating forearm
Yates:
100kg x5
110kg x5
120kg x5
120kg x5
100kg x8


18" rack pulls - main work superset with chins
140kg x5
180kg x5
200kg x3 - chins x6
200kg x3 - chins x5
200kg x3 - chins x4

Power shrugs superset with empty barbell curls
200kg x8 -> x20 curls
200kg x8 -> x20 curls
200kg x8 -> x20 curls

Hammer grip pull downs
100kg x8
110kg x8
120kg x5

Will continue with narrower stance for a few weeks and see how it goes.

I've always used a narrow stance and then someone tried me on a wider stance which made my form better, however I can't lift for st with it which is strange

[deadmau5]

I was sure I was going to do body weight military press tonight but was just short every time. Nearly fainted after the first attempt.

After that I did 70kg 6x3 then handstands and reverse flies.

Some seriously strong and fit (ahem) guys on here recently.

Not sure how training is going for me – been a bit odd really since coming back as not felt like it much.

I’m much preferring high carb diet recently though – energy seem a lot better and I just feel better.

I did legs last night… squats, 12x70gs, 10x100kgs, 8x110kgs, 6x130kgs, 6x130kgs, 10x70kgs, 10x70gs and then calf raises, hamstring curls & leg extensions.

I’m hoping to get into the gym over the weekend but the gf is with me, so will probably be a quick session at best.

I did deadlifts for the first time in a while too – only went up to around 3x160kgs but I reckon I could have hit 190/200kgs so not lost any strength there.

Same, motivation is the lowest it's been since I can remember. My training partner is off at the moment finishing his house ready for renting so I have no competition either. On top of that I'm doing maintenance for another week so I won't even be making any visual gains. EUGH!

First of all, I am going for a run, and after coming back, would be ripping myself by doing some of the exercises from following video.

haha weird isn't it. I will try the narrower stance for a few weeks and see how I get on, felt it a little more in the hamstrings so should be useful but see how it goes. Got a big pressing session planned for later

First 'proper' workout since the injury, feels so good to be back!

20 x 1 minute rounds off 30 second rests, then some hip, trunk, glute and core work.

Lost a little fitness but nowhere near as much as feared and technique etc. still intact; suppose after all these years it's like riding a bike.

Lower back held up really well though still worried about my right knee. Really do miss not being able to box - like losing part of yourself, so it's brilliant to be able to train again.

Out of interest, can you lot do Jefferson Squats and compare your 1RM to your 1RM deadlift? Just curious. I can't see why they wouldn't be the same... but maybe they aren't? I'd also like to know how your 1RM back squat compares to the above, too.

Flat dumbbell flyes - 2 x 10Kg = 1 x 65 [wimp] expected 100 but knew it wasn't likely near end and quit through pain! [/wimp] straight to

Feet raised push ups = 8 pathetic; done!

Tricep pushdowns - 140lb = 1 x 25, elbows tucked firmly in, ultra strict

OH Tricep extensions - 140lb = 1 x 15 then halved weight and added 15 more

Narrow grip bicep curls - 60lb = 1 x 30

40 hyperextensions
