Rnd 1 Pullups (150ish)
Rnd 2 Farmer's Walks (18 circuits)

Good session, totally dead after the farmers walks. All the numbers are ish because i cant remember, but the pain is real.

Where's the possesive apostrophe?

I have the exact numbers still on the boards I'll post them up in the interests of your log's accuracy. I think we should knock a few of Robbie's pull ups off though.

Apostrophe now added

Robbie's pullups werent gold standard but compared to some of those inverted rows they were diamonds.

I somehow managed to hurt my neck, or make the pain that was there already much worse, so much so that the pain is travelling down to my shoulder blade when i turn my head to the left. Hopefully it eases up, otherwise ill go see someone about it later in the week.

Killme00

Neck has loosed up enough to allow me to train, hopefully it'll be okay in the morning too.

Good session, neck feels good, delighted with how easy the pullups felt. Tried without the bands and i am 90% of the way there...so close :pac:

DL's were fast and strong at the start. My training partner finished his sets when i was on 140 and i ended up not resting enough between 160 and 180, which is why i only got 180 * 1. Lesson learned about resting between sets. Tonight was the first time i have used chalked, wow it makes an unbelievable difference to grip.

Squatted again today as filler between my partners sets, i paused at the bottom of each squat and am very happy with how i felt after Sundays squats. Bench was weak, not happy.

Killme00

Ive decided to add some structure to my work and am going for the Wendler 5/3/1 which suits my needs for two lifting days a week. Its also what alot of others are doing so should be a decent guage.

I am going to use the following as my current maxes.
Squat 150 * 6
Bench Press 100 * 6
Deadlift 200 * 1
Mil. Press 70 * 6

I am a little unsure on the assistance work, so if anyone has any suggestions i am all ears.

Hanley

Jesus.... it's spreading like the plague.

My assistance stuff is;

Deadlift 5/3/1
SLDL off a plate 5x10
GM's 4x15
Chins 5-7 sets x 5-8 reps
Pulldown Abs 2x10

Bench 5/3/1
Dips 4-5x12 (adding weight or volume)
Lucy Press 3x10-15 (see my log for a description)
Pendlay Rows 5x10-15 (adding volume for 3 weeks, then 5kg and repeating)

Squat 5/3/1
Squat 5x10 (60%, 55%, 50%, 45%, 40%)
Pull Thrus 4x15
Side Bends 3-5x10-15

Press 5/3/1
Seated Dumbbell Press 5x10
Close Grip Bench 5x10 (60%, 55%, 50%, 45%, 40%)
Chins 5-7x5-8

But basically, do what you suck at and hate doing!!

I assume you know that every 4th week's a deload too?

Killme00

Thanks and yep on the deload. What are pull thrus? Im gonna look on youtube for these. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9srrE2-oM4

LOL@ the Lucy press, ive read all about it!!!

Ive used the workbook attached to work out the percentages and breakdowns. I asumme the third set is to failure for reps?

Thursday 30/04 KO Finglas

1.5 hrs Gi BJJ

Rounds were either 7, 10 or 12 mins. I can easily cope with whatever lengths the rounds are and my Jits is getting alot better, i need to keep rolling more and more though. I had the pleasure of getting skull ridden by big Andy though, now thats what i call pain.

That's a decent vid, but ya may as well do them they way they're done in the gym that invented them http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULTfU272Qhw

The third set isn't to absolute failure, but it's a hard set where you go til you probably wouldn't get any more. Kevpants is the man to ask here tho, he's the one with experience and results from 5/3/1!

Pulldowns abs were a bit wierd, ill need to have a look at other peoples technique in more detail. I expected the close grip bench to be easy but it was tough. Other than that, everything was good. Time was tight because im going to the match so no cardio for me today. I'll make up for that tomorrow.
