    Didn't you used to squat 140+kg :confused:


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


    I've a vid of a 145 squat I did about a year ago. Knees buckling, chest caving. Got pulled aside and was told "you're gonna kill yourself" Ended up starting over. Have been just trying to hammer home good form for the last while.

    Gonna run this for a few weeks and work up to 110.


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


    This morning - no shoulder pain :D

    Close grip (Bar felt a bit heavier and thicker than the one last week, assuming its still 20kg)
    60 kg x 12
    60kg x 10
    60kg x 9
    60 x 8

    Reverse grip pull down
    No 9 x 10, 9, 8

    Facepulls
    4 sets of 12 @ no 8

    Db military press
    20kg x 12,10, 10, 10

    Db laterals
    4 sets of 12 @ 5kg - nom

    DB shrugs
    4 sets of 15 @ 32kg

    Db curls and preachers

    Tricep push down
    3 sets of 25 @ no 10
    1 set of 15 @ no 10

    Treadmill for 25 mins - heart rate ~130

    I think from now on my week is gonna be:

    Day 1 - Max effort upper
    Day 2 - Speed deads + loads of assistance
    Day 3 - Repetition upper
    Day 4 - Max lower + über assistance stuff

    Just wanna get my squat up as my DL is way in front since I've been just working on form. I should probably start counting the bar again. Bit unsure of what bar weighs what sometimes.


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


    Monday: Only decent thing that happened was that I got a massive burger after the gym. It was definitely a good investment.

    This morning:

    'Speed' Deads
    Warm up..
    4x4 @ 125kg

    45 Back Raises
    BW x 12
    3 sets of 12 @ BW + 15KG - Up this to 15 reps next time.

    Single Leg Ham Curls
    No.5 x 12, 10, 10, 8
    No.4 x 12, 10, 10, 10, 8

    Seated Calves x Many

    Double Leg Ham Curls
    No 11 x 15, 15, 12, 10
    No 10 x 15, 15, 10, 8 - ow.

    Cable Ab Crunches - Bit useless this morning.

    Fairly rubbish session. I'll probably do RDLS instead of back raises next week and leave the back raises for squat day. I'm gonna drop in tomorrow and just to a **** load of core work I reckon.

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


    Legs have just about returned to normal functionality. I've been using the disabled toilets in work because I'm sure I'll go straight through the porcelain without the hand rails.

    Monday
    Stretched and foam rolled my upper back, hams, quads and calves.

    Tuesday
    Stretched at home, got out the stick and mauled my legs.

    This morning - Max upper day.

    Narrow grip bench (index on the flat)
    Worked up to 82.5 x 4

    Incline bench
    50kg x 17, 16

    DB Rows
    45 x 12, 8 - Body said no.

    Facepulls, DB shrugs, DB curls and Preachers.

    Knackered. If anyone wants to sponsor me as a professional eater, that'd be well sound. I'll promote your business and definitely work hard at my job of eating becoming the greatest power-eater of all time. My stomach capacity exceeds my will.

    This was me yeterday!


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


    Think I broke my little toe :/ Can't really walk too well on that foot, so my calf is bunched up to **** because of it.

    This morning:

    Crappy speed deads. Need to sort out posture.

    Couldn't really do anything else, I'm fairly knackered. Gonna try and get an extra meal in today.

    The state of this pretty much sums up this morning:



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


    Broke the cable pulldown doing crunches. Beast mode achieved.


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


    Quick session, in work early today.

    Narrow Grip Bench (index on the smooth part of the bar)
    Worked up to 82.5 x 6.

    Incline bench
    50kg x 18, 15

    Tricep Pushdown
    No.9 x 25, 20

    Had to run.

    Gonna try for 8 on the narrow grip bench next week. Then probably try doing regular benching for 4 weeks.

    How am I supposed to do my high cable curls now you prick


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


    Use the other one and put a dumbbell in your handbag. Problem solved!


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


    Legs have just about recovered from Sunday. Consuming around 1.5 chickens a day, 2 steaks, 3 sweet potatoes and 300g of protein. Body is sore and hungry.

    This morning - quick one.

    Single leg ham curls
    No 2 x 8
    No 6 x 15, 12, 10, 8

    45 Hyper
    3 x 12 @ BW

    Leg Curl
    No 9 x 12, 12, 10, 10, 8

    Attempted cable crunches, back pump said no. Probably not able to train at the weekend, have to work and dunno my hours, so I'll probably do core and stuff tomorrow.

    So fat, gonna have to find someone to do a diet for me after this program is over.


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


    Haven't really eaten or slept properly in the past couple of days because work has been so hectic. Didn't really feel up to squatting today so just did the usual assistance.

    Might film my RDLs in future just to check my back isn't curving too much.


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


    Bench (Little fingers just inside the rings)
    50kg x 5
    60kg x 5
    70kg x 3
    80kg x 3
    85kg x 5 - Tried to get as little bounce as possible.

    Incline Bench
    30kg x 8
    50kg x 20, 17 - both sets were quite fast, just wanted to bust out the reps. All reps touching chest, very little if any bounce on every rep.

    Seated Hammer Row
    60kg x 12, 12, 10

    Shrugs n db curls.

    Happy enough with the bench, I could have gotten 2 more reps I'd say. First time I've actually benched without a close / narrow grip. Hoping to go for 87.5 for 3+ good reps next week. I reckon it's doable. No shoulder pain either - noice.


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


    Attempted to dismantle myself this morning. Tried to degunk my shoulder with some dislocations and some pec stretching.

    Single Leg Curl
    No.5 x 5
    No. 7 x 10, 8, 8

    45 Back Extension
    BW x 15, 12, 10
    BW + 10KG x 10, 10, 10, 10

    Leg Curl
    No 10 x 12, 12, 12, 10

    DB Sidebends
    30kg x 12, 12, 12, 12

    If I don't hit 9+ reps squatting on Sunday, I'm gonna go full retard with the assistance the next few weeks.


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


    Upper Repetition Day

    Lateral raises, shrugs, curls

    Daycent session.

    Very poor session.

    Ended up quarter squatting 112.5kg for 2 reps. Squats were pretty poor in general today actually.

    Did some single leg curls @ no 7 then dropped to 6 for a few then to 5 for a few.

    RDLs were shíte too.

    Back to double leg curls and a few sets of 45 hypers.

    I'm off Wednesday and Thursday so gonna go full retard and see what happens when I re-attempt this again on Sunday.

    Bodyfat was tested today too. You know something is wrong when your bodyfat is higher than your IQ :-/
