    This morning:

    Farted around. Attempted some swole.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,192 ✭✭✭Dathai


    In work late until I finish up at the end of the month which means moar gym time in the morning.

    Got in a bit late because I like sleeping. Gym was empty.

    Did some front squats, back squats, leg curls and leg extensions.
    Really just trying to get back into it after getting sick.

    Filmed myself for the lulz on some sets. Such a fat bastard it's unreal.
    Forgot how to back squat, it looked good on camera, but didn't feel any tension at the bottom like I usually do.

    Less gut, more quads.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,192 ✭✭✭Dathai


    Training was good. Went to Aussie BBQ after to get the 1lber.

    So sick. Never eating there again.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,192 ✭✭✭Dathai

    Haven't trained all week. I've just been drinking and eating insane amounts of **** ( 2 burger king meals in one go - yeah, I know).

    Just did a bit of cardio today and some core work. Gonna try and get a diet done up for me at some stage during the week.

    Tidied up the diet a good bit, dropped 3kg since the 1st. Going to start weighing stuff out for the next while just to make sure I'm on target. If I see another piece of chicken, I'll ****ing lose it!

    Been training as usual though.

  • Registered Users Posts: 2,192 ✭✭✭Dathai


    Haven't had much time to train at all. Been crazy busy with college stuff the past few weeks, so going to get into a daily routine and just get the head down instead of playing it by ear everyday.

    Just been squattin' mostly. Down 7kg since the 1st of October.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,192 ✭✭✭Dathai


    Squats
    60 x 5
    80 x 5
    90 x 3
    95 x 3
    102.5 x 5, 4 - Got a MANKY cramp in my hamstring that went right through my calf and right up into my arse.

    Front squats
    3x5 @ 75kg

    Leg press
    3x10 @ 200kg

    My entire right leg is in a jocker. I didn't get much chance to warm up before lifting, so no wonder.

    I'll retry this session again during the week.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,192 ✭✭✭Dathai


    Just did dome light stuff today. Shoulders and knees are kinda sore this week for some reason.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,192 ✭✭✭Dathai


    Just been doing sets of 3x5 on bench and squat.

    Hit 3x3 at 75kg the other day on bench without much effort. Last week of threes and now onto the Ed Coan Bench routine. Hoping to finish up with ~90kg bench and a bit more swole.

    Did up a python program for the coan squat and deads, I'll fire up a link later for anyone that wants it. That site AllThingsGym linked to a Coan spreadsheet which had all the incorrect increments for nearly all the lifts. So hopefully my version will be of some use.

    Single Leg Curls

    The single leg press is actually really ****ing hard. I figured I'd be able to do at least 100kg with one leg considering what I leg press with both legs. Started with 40 and it was tough. I'll stick with 40 next week and see how it goes.
