    Better than monday :) feel conscious that im wasting my time if im not doing them right so thats why i took a **** fit over technique on monday. Stayed with 85 and as far as i could tell without a mirror (gaa club gym) they were solid.

    Bench was fine.

    Could have got more chins except other players trying to conduct a conversation with me while im banging them out GGGGRRRRRRRRRR.....

    Havent trained in a while due to college and other commitments...

    Workout A

    Squat
    20kg - 2x5
    50kg - 1x5
    65kg - 1x3
    77.5kg - 1x2

    Weak as a kitten... Squats technique for the 90s was terrible. Good to be back under the bar though.

    WHOWSERZ its been a while....

    Really slack with the consistency and tipping the scales at 85kg gave me the wakeup call i needed. Going to continue on with my starting strength and possibly throw in a few metcons here and there for fat loss.

    Workout A

    Squat
    20kg - 2x5
    40kg - 1x5
    50kg - 1x5
    60kg - 1x5
    70kg - 1x5
    80kg - 1x5
    85kg - 3x5

    Building up like this helped me control my technique which seemed grand. 15kg away from my original goal ---> big push to hit it starts now.

    Bench Press
    20kg - 2x5
    40kg - 1x5
    60kg - 1x5
    70kg - 3x5

    10kg away from goal.

    Chin-ups
    1x8
    1x5
    1x4

    These have gone from an exercise i enjoyed to absolute torture! The weight gain obviously has not helped.


    *Please God give me the willpower to not be such a pussy.

    Workout B

    Squat
    20kg - 2x5
    40kg - 1x5
    60kg - 1x5
    70kg - 1x3
    80kg - 1x2
    87.5kg - 3x5

    Press
    20kg - 2x5
    30kg - 1x5
    40kg - 1x3
    47.5kg - 3x5


    Deadlift
    60kg - 2x5
    80kg - 1x5
    100kg - 1x5
    110kg - 1x3 Lost grip here so did another 1x3 with mixed grip

    I think im going to use mixed grip for my deadlift worksets from now on as i feel my grip is limiting me.

    Workout C


    Yesterdays Workout

    Squat
    20kg - 2x5
    40kg - 1x5
    60kg - 1x5
    70kg - 1x3
    80kg - 1x1 1x2
    90kg - 3x5

    Some dodgy reps here, the depth was fine although i was losing my posture on the 4 or 5th rep with each set. Moved on to the pull-ups because there was someone on the bench.

    Pull-ups
    1x8
    1x5
    1x4

    Guy still on bench so i had to work in with a smaller warmup.

    Bench Press
    50kg - 1x3
    60kg - 1x2
    72.5kg - 2x5 1x4 Fail

    Got all reps but the last one was assisted so im sticking with this weight for the next time.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,375 ✭✭✭Antisocialiser


    Slight change of procedure in order to accomodate football and improve fitness test results as illustrated here

    Also i couldnt get out of my drive due to the snow so i attempted a 10min AMRAP version of crossfit cindy:
    5 Pull ups
    10 Press ups
    15 Bodyweight Squats

    I got just over 5 rounds (one of which had chins) but my inability to do more pullups was my main undoing! Tough going but know i could have done so much better....

    Hopefully ill get to the gym tomorrow.

    Day 9

    Got my Grid foamroller so i tried it out for about 20minutes an hour before my workout. I thought id be grand but it was excruciating in places if not very relieving... obviously had some knots i didnt realise where there! technique on the squats seemed alot smoother and more controlled but it might have been the wider stance.

    And you're destroying me in the squat ;) As long as you're getting enough protein here's a couple of other things that have worked for me mrpink:

    -Reset - 10% off and build back up.

    -Slow controlled reps with less weight - totally hammering your triceps on the way down with a weight you can get 3x5 with. Good technique = better gains. Im learning this with my chins and pulls only now :)
