Your ideas intrigue me and I wish to suscribe to your newsletter.

The times are posted up next to the gate, however the gaff's only open off-peak for periods an hour or two long. F*cking disgrace to be honest, considering nobody's hardly ever in the place. Your club would probably get to use it would they?

feck's sake! but sher if ya can plan around getting in at those times it'd be pretty sweet.

yeah we train in there 8-9pm tuesdays and thursdays, we've proper level 2 coaching and whatnot so it'd be well worth your time if you want to learn the oly lifts!

do you train with anyone at the minute actually? since fat L went back to limerick i'm training on my lonesome :pac:

Oh good God, the DOMS of it all. Can't face the gym there now until tomorrow morning, took me nearly half an hour to sit on the jacks today.

I don't train with anyone lad, I only lift in the mornings usually if that suits you I wouldn't mind doing an auld session. That having been said, I said the same to L, the pair of ye would be of a much higher standard than myself like.

Well I work as a doorman in town so "mornings" for me are usually after lunch! Basically I aim to get in there before 4 because I stand the Mardyke when it's jammers.

Anyway,

Huzzah, finally starting to sweat again and get an appetite back.

Grand, great cure for the crippling pain in my legs.

Hard.

Broke my ankle. In a cast. If you see no further updates it is because I have thrown myself in the river.

Slaanesh

Bad luck! That's ****. I put my back out a few weeks ago, first evening back with a light session. You'll be out a lot longer than that

Seated OH Press. 6 week intensive.
Chins in the smith machine from a seat.
Gansai load of arm work.

I agree with d'oracle. (wait, what?)

You have no excuse not to return with 27inch guns.

Get to it

FTA69

Ha ha, thanks lad. Will they leave me into the Mardyke on crutches I wonder? Also no door work for a month, boo urns. Pain and poverty, a winning combination.

FTA69

Out of the cast, feeling much better. Gym tomorrow, starting from scratch again. Onwards to victory!

FTA69

Grand session, decided to take it well handy because I haven't fully tested the ankle with exercise yet, plus after being off for a few weeks, drinking and eating sh*t I've to get back a bit of conditioning. I've put on a couple of pounds of fat and I'm feeling a bit lethargic. It's great to get back lifting again.

Squat
80kg 5 x 5

Grand, pure light. I'll be dying tomorrow though.

Bench
60kg 5 x 5

Not too testing but I need to build up a good bit more strength in this lift.

Squat
90kg 5 x 5

Just back from a week's holiday in the Netherlands, didn't do the dog too much on the drink so today's session was a doddle.

Issues with the grip but the weight was manageable.

Delighted, finally got my three sets of six!

Well done mate ^ ^. How long are you resting between chins? They do take a bit out of you. Saying that if you can complete 6 on the last set, you should be able to do more on the first, saying that that depends on how knackered you are after the deadlift. You could try the chins before the deads and see if it makes a difference.

I rest about a minute at most. I used to always do them before the deads and immediately after the presses, but I think my arms and shoulders were knackered and as such my pull-ups suffered. Doing the deads before them gives them more of a rest. I'll be adding reps progressively from now on anyway.

FTA69

Whoop! Grand session, moving along nicely, a stone lighter than when I was doing stronglifts last year so still a lot of gains to be made.

Squat
100kg 5 x 5

East out.

Bench
67.5kg 5 x 5

Excruciating, my benching ability has gone down the p*sser.

First Brazilian Jiu Jitsu class. Tears and crying. Have mat burns on my back, face and ass. Got repeatedly submitted but also managed three of my own which I'm declaring an unqualified success.

FTA69

Second class of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, we did various guillotines and escapes followed by an intensive guard passing drill. Nearly threw up. Great stuff.

FTA69

Back to boxing. Training included stretching, laps (pause for a brief vomit), shadow boxing and drills of heavy bag work and skipping.

FTA69

Monday 10/1/11

90 minute game of soccer, bouncers vs barstaff. We won a resounding victory, shame I can't move today though.

FTA69

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

Warm-up run and stretches.

Push-ups, Sit-ups, Squats and Pull-ups.

Leg raises and guard passing drills.

Breaking the guard and passing.

Arm-bars and bicep crushes (vicious.)

Rolling.

Delighted with this, some sh*t is finally starting to make sense, managed to side-mount a blue belt a few times and got some cheeky buckaroo full-mounts.
