Chins 1 x 5, 2 x 1, 2 x 2 -- i just don't have anything left for these after deadlifts, I reckon if I put some weight in addition I would manage the same amount, so going to try for 3 x 3 + 5kg or similar next week and try to build it up.

Place was mobbed today - half day closing due to Good Friday and everyone seemed to go when I was there on top of which one of the benches was out of action, which left 1 bench....not a hope I was getting onto it and so I settled for dumbbells, which I am even more useless at.

3rd one on 140 might not have been fully locked out - not sure only occurred to me afterwards, last 2 on the set were tough to straighten up...thought it was going to be easy as first 2 flew up. Seeing as I was setup for 140 thought i would throw on another 20 and get that 2x BW. Had it half way up but couldn't lock out...think it was technique more than anything else. Needed someone to be coaching me to remind me what to do during it!! Someone did see me and said I had the strength no probs but probably was too far forward on the lift or something, music was loud so hard to hear. next time, hadn't really thought about doing it till i got there.

So a real shock at how poor I was today after making some small progress over the past couple of weeks. I put it down to a number of factors all of my own doing:

Firstly I was tired, man I never slept properly or enough last night.

Secondly, I had porridge at 8 and half a slice of toast and boiled egg at half 9. Not enough fuel ! Add that to going to the gym later than usual, not being hydrated and generally feeling weak and tired before I even got to the gym and there you go.

Thirdly, and not sure really that this is much of a factor but might add overall to the previous - am dropping weight at the mo and have dropped 2lbs in the past week- not a great deal but I am eating below maintenance so combined with the previous two i think it did have some impact.

Fourthly, I was mentally tired and weak and never felt like I would complete so I was beat before I started.

Fifthly - I am a weak assed biiiiaaaatch and need to improve!

In saying that I felt no where near as strong as Friday and don't think I was anywhere near getting 5 which is a pisser.

could be bicep tendonitis, i got it before, very annoying.

I widened my grip a little if it came about, that helped it. Then i had to rest for a few days to get rid of it. Hasnt come back yet but i'm doing a few stretches before squats now to loosen them up!

jaggiebunnet

yeah funny you should say that it was widening my grip that eased the pain. will keep an eye on it, as i said never felt it before...not like the constant left hip pain I have which is only satiated with a good stretch, but it always wants more!

Tricep Ext with KB: 3 x 10 8kg -- pathetic I know but was running out of time and couldn't find something too heavy.

curls and dips ran out of time.

so the end of the extended 6 week program as per the s/sheet. I have 4 weeks now until I go on holiday and am probably going to go for another 6 week program but omit the first 2 weeks so that I am lifting hard still.

Delighted I got 110, PB really - struggled to get 1 x 115 earlier this year so progress.

Pissed off my bench hasn't really made any progress or my press but deads and squats have so can't complain really.

so will hit a couple more 6 weekers after the hols, then I might try something a bit different just to keep the interest and mix it up - obviously crossfit springs to mind so will need to research that properly.

jaggiebunnet

Kind of just continued on from the 6 week prog rather than start a new one - thinking that next week might be hard to get to gym with bh monday so might just try out some maxes or something and then try something different for a couple of weeks for hols - for everything except squats anyway.

Squat
5 x 55
5 x 70
5 x 82.5
5 x 97.5 -- form was going badly towards end.
5 x 110 PB for reps...and not far off my single PB (115). Delighted as I was a bit worred after the 97.5 but my form felt good and the last rep was incredibly easy....well relatively speaking

Bench
5 x 37.5
5 x 47.5
5 x 57.5
5 x 65
4 x 75 -- again, different spotter who still felt the need to stick a finger on the bar to help...think I might have got 5 but felt there was no use as I was definitely getting help even if it was only a finger. Bench has gone no where in the past few months...really stalled. Going to try and up the reps at lower levels or something and see if that makes any difference over the next couple of weeks - prob read up see if i can do anything to help too. If I was benching 80kg np I wouldn't mind as that is what I was doing last year, but my squat and deads are way up and bench has gone backwards.

Well chuffed with the 120kg @ 78kg - think I had maybe another 2 reps in me but I was slightly not right in mind due to no contact lenses and not being able to see properly (doesn't make a difference strength/balance wise - just gives me an excuse ) and I wasn't going to push it too much so close to holiday time.

back from hols, fatter and slower than ever...amazingly i only put on a few lbs and about 1% bodyfat despite daily drinking and eating of everything that is bad for you. Tired though, holidaying with 3 kids is hard work. Did start off the hols with some stretching and body weight exercises with the kids on the campsite - but once the rain was there in the morning it went out the window..so back to gym today with some light workout and lots of stretching to try and appease the DOMS Gods.

5 asides tonight

pain tomorrow...bring it on..

going to big increase my protein intake know I have been poor with this in the past few months and it shows in my lifts. won't go for powder as I don't really want extra cals, just more protein == more chicken breasts for lunch. white meat + green veg FTW !

anyhoo enuff of my nonsense...i also realise I really want to take up golf...holidays do strange things...
