Thanks but it's not really. Most people probably just don't do chins for singles, if they did they'd destroy me. Also chins are my fav exercise, for me they're the ultimate rage exercise. Unlike other exercises where you have to concentrate on form with chins you just grip the bar and pull.

I tried the hamstring sliders using the biscuit tin lid you suggested. I only had 1 lid so had to do a single leg ones........felt like hamstings were about to explode...loved it.

Is this the way you're doing them?

Sea The Starz

No I haven't tried them with lunges yet, but I will. I'm using them for hamstring curls. They really blast your hamstrings, which is good coz I find it hard to target them with a barbell without the lower back coming into play. They're demonstrated at 5.20 in the video below. He makes them look so easy

Lower back sore from Sunday, might try heavy (for me) squat partials for the craic next week. Bench was tough but happy as only managed 5 sets of doubles at this weight last month. First time ever doing rack pulls I like them but my back doesn't.

DB Rows

Wednesday

Dicked around with lightweights and tried sumo for the first time. No idea what constitutes good deadlift form so like a blind man at an orgy I'll have to feel my way around and get into a groove.

BB Squats

60kg 4x10 - still yet to be diagnosed with cerebral palsy but surely this is a symptom

RDL

60kg 2x15

1 arm KB Swings

50 reps alternating 5 per arm with no rest

All in all a piss poor week of training. Tail end of my cold, and as a result got into a cold sweat half way through my chins yesterday and thought I was gonna die. Was aiming for 10 sets...not gonna happen.

Gonna try 10x3, 12x2 and 15x1 on my chins, as it has been working so well for my bench. Once I get a 70kg chin I'll train for a one arm one.

Normally weighted chins I don't completely lock out at the bottom as i find i lose all tension in back, biceps and forearms and it puts a lot of pressure on my elbows but I want a 1 arm chin so I'm locking out completely at bottom from now on. I will die a happy man if I can get a full rollout by the end of the year. The place I'm starting work has a gym so might ask the trainers in their to help with squat and deadlift.

Sea The Starz

Trained 4 times this week after being on the go for 17hours each day - needless to say training was a bucket of sh1te. Had a Heather Brooke marathon yesterday to cheer me up.

Will have to train in the mornings, which will mean 5am sessions in an icebox of a shed in winter....YEAH BUDDY.

On a side note, ignorant people who take up two seats on a bus, despite the fact that their seat is one of the last ones left and there is an influx of people getting on the bus, yet still lie across two seats and have to asked to move the fuck over, should be tied to the bus and dragged to their destination. These people generally seem to be foreigners and/or fat messes. We'd all like to have 2 seats u selfish ignorant dip****s. U take up 2 seats -I won't ask you excuse me -I will just take ur bag off the seat and throw it at you or throw it down the bus... just a heads up in case ur one of the scum who do this.

Sea The Starz

Haven't had time to piss recently, never mind log workouts. Will try post on the weekends I don't have lectures or If I reach a goal or If there's something I need to log about my workouts whether good/bad for future reference.

Training in the cold is nasty, I warm up quick but it's a bitch holding an icy bar coz it numbs your hands and you can't grip for ****.

I have more energy for the 5am sessions but less time so that's the trade off I have to make.

Thinking of getting a pre-workout to boost energy for evening sessions but looking at the ingredients of them I'm leaning towards cocaine as it's probably the healthiest and most natural

Anyone who has any tips for training in subzero temperatures/having energy after 16hr days let me know!

Sea The Starz

Still training away. Will hopefully get into a habit of logging again.

Got 100kg paused bench last week which was something I was after for a while.

Focusing on weighted paused dead hang chins (horrible) to help with 1 arm chin goal. I'm also trying to bulk a bit which won't aid my attempt.

Squat is much better, weighted pistols improving aswell.

The only thing that won't get with the program is rollouts. I've been training them consistently for well over a year and still can't get to full extension.

You have to listen to this band below, they are so ****ingbrutal you'll either PR or massacre everyone in the gym due to listening to them. Travesty their videos have so little views.

How anyone can enjoy listening to that sh1te is beyond me.

Different strokes for different folks. I'd say you probably have to be semi-psychotic to like them, so it's probably a good sign you don't.

Sea The Starz

It's been ages since I've logged mainly due to my workouts being so dull and monotonous and wreaking of weakness. The only reason I'm logging now is I'm looking to get fatter and want to track progess in terms of weight and strength.

My fat plan is as follows,

Chicken Wings (600g) - 1200 cals
Cashew Nuts (200g) - 1200 cals
Bananas x 3 - 300 cals
Protein Shakes x 3 - 300 cals
Dinner - (depends on the auld won) - 750-1000 cals
Lidl Magnum Ice cream - 250cals
Other supplements - probiotic, fish oils, vitamin d, zinc.

The above will differ at weekends but calorie intake should still be around the 4k mark. I don't even want the ice-cream it's the only thing I can eat by days end I'm so full - the sacrifices. Will start logging workouts beginning tomorrow
