3.5kg PB on Clean and Jerk today

tmc86

Not so much an achievement on weight increases but I had a great week's worth of training sessions last week. I finished off nicely with a legs and core day yesterday in which I concentrated on form. I spent about half the session on squats making sure I was getting perfect sets! Felt so good after it that i was sitting at home that evening wanting to go back to the gym!

13 standing ab rollouts today. Again, thought my head was going to explode. Very tough. Yet here is a video from youtube of 71 year old John Maulkin doing 15 standing rollouts.

Heh. From reading your posts I always just assumed you were a guy.

I got 10x10 ring dips with 10kg added. Was very happy there.

I am a guy:eek: I went through a phase of thinking 'sure I can eat what I want at any time of the day cause I go to the gym occasionally' So I turned a corner where I'd eat just one bar or something small everyday but that is after depressing me:pac:

If you can't moderate it then just don't eat it at all, go cold turkey and you won't even feel the want for it in a months time!

arse..biscuits

^^^^ owned.

on a side note, 185kg x5 raw deadlift. just sayin.

dylan051

new to this thread, thought i'd add in.

Pulled 95kg Deadlift x 1 yesterday @ 55kg.

Up from 87.5kg when i started this new program a month ago. Pretty happy

Sugar Free

My last training session before other life events take over and training has to take a back seat.

Squatted 170 x 3 x 3 (belt) then dropped back to 150 x 5 beltless.

Monday I benched 115 x 3 x 5.

So in the last 7 weeks I went from:

Squat 125 x 5 to a fatigued 150 x 5
Bench 100 x 3 x 5 to 115 x 3 x 5

By no means strong for my age, body weight and experience but pretty solid progress over that space of time.

nice_guy80

i'm up to 82 kg.
Heaviest I've ever been.

But the bodyfat % is way down

I'm the same, it's not been my heaviest but I'm at 82kg now but body fat has come way down and muscle mass has gone up.

In 3 months (including the Christmas period!) I went from 21/22% body fat down to just under 15%.

When I started back in the gym after a 2month break I got my measurements done and then last week I got a second reading of which I was pleasantly suprised! (particularly as its a self prescribed program)

I'm aiming to get down lower but that won't happen until March.

A little bit of self indulgence...

Just did 105kg 10x10 squats with the safety squat bar at 10pm after 5 hours of coaching in 20mins.

Mentally, I'm rock solid right now. Lets hope my body holds up too!!

Michael 09

Wide grip pull ups, 5 reps at bodyweight +30kg on a belt.

Bodyweight of 69kg

Ran 7.5km last night and felt like I could have kept going for ages! I have until next Thursday to do 10km and hit the January goal.

New PR of 175kg DL. Slowly starting to realise a lot of the worries about my back are in my head

A lot of worries about everything are generally in your head.

The worse is when you are in the middle of a squat and realise how heavy the weight is.

Not really. Youv'e only got two choices. Bail or man up. In fact that prob one of the least worrying situations you could find your self in.

I'm thinking option three - panic when going down, do a partial squat and hoof the bar up with awful form :pac:

I never did this though.

Did this a while back on my good leg. Very poor quality vid but I'm pretty hapy with it. Hopefully I'll get my other leg back to a similar strength sometime.

That is bizarre. And really makes me want to buy a trap bar to try it.
