    Fair enough...I just feel it where I shouldn't and a time seems to touch of shoulder impingement which has manifested itself in a couple .For ways. Nothing serious beyond irritation but BB bench is weak as Temple Bar booze but changing the grip a little works. Just said I'd flag it in case it helped :)

    I appreciate it man :) Nice way of describing your bench too haha

    Body is in an absolute heap today after that 10x10 deadlifting 2 days ago. Playing football for 4 hours two nights ago and football golf the yesterday morning didn't really help either.

    1x10 @ 100kg

    Squats felt really good tonight. My waist has gone to small for the gym belt so didn't feel comfortable going above 130kg. Must get my own.

    Haven't done sumo deadlifts in ages, felt really good and my strength has carried over from my conventional deadlifting as the highest I previously went was 1x170kg I think. Going to include these into my program every week. 1 day doing conventional another doing sumo.

    Db stiff leg deads
    5x10 @ 42.5kgx2

    Messed around today in the gym with some quads, arms and shoulders even though it was my day off.

    Today I got to have a cheat meal. Generally have 1 every 2-3 weeks. My weight before my cheat meal was 82kg afterwards I weighted 85.5kg. Ughhhhhh so full and bloated but was so good. My cheat meal consisted off

    Sushi takeaway (loads)
    3 chocolate infinity magnums
    big bag of dorritos

    Going to do sumodeads and squats tomorrow so i'll burn it off :)

    Had more in me but the belt being too big for me didn't push confidence in me. Found out whenever I come out of the bottom of a 130kg+ squat I fart. No idea why but must do something about it :P

    Hack Squat
    1x10 @ 20kg
    1x10 @ 40kg

    1x10 @ 190kg

    Felt good after that leg session. Weighed in at 81.3kg today which is the lightest I have been in about 10-11 months. Strength feels ok even though Im on a tiny amount of carbs. Every second or third day I will have 125g of white rice.

    I'm guessing you lost count and did a few extra to make sure you got the full set done...

    Week 8 Day 3 Squats

    10 min walk on treadmill to warm up

    Stretches etc

    Squats
    1x10 @ 20kg
    1x10 @ 60kg
    1x10 @ 80kg
    1x10 @ 100kg
    belt
    1x5 @ 120kg
    2x3 @ 130kg
    1x1 @ 140kg
    6x6 @ 100kg

    This cut is really starting to effect my squat strength. Going to build up the 100kg squat to 10x10 after I do my heavy rep squats. On the 6x6 I really slowed down the negative part of the movement and tried to explode back up. Didn't help the fact it was boiling it the gym.

    Db stiff legs
    8x8 @ 42.5kg x 2
    2x10 @ 40kg x 2


  • Registered Users Posts: 939 ✭✭✭chriity139


    Weighed in today at 81kg lightest I have been all year.

    Sumo's
    1x10 @ 70kg
    1x10 @ 110kg
    1x10 @ 120kg
    1x5 @ 140kg
    1x5 @ 150kg
    Dropset
    1x5 @ 150kg
    1x10 @ 110kg
    1x10 @ 70kg

    Superset 1x6
    1x10 Db chest press 25-42.5kg
    1x10 Bb bicep curl @ 30kg
    1x30 Standing side crunches with 20kg plate

    No issues at all with the shoulder while pressing until I got to the 42.5kg db's then I felt a slight sensation so I stopped at that weight.

    Superset 2x6
    1x10 Medium grip pulley row 64-100kg
    1x12 Standing hammer curl @ 12.5kg
    1x12 Hanging leg raises

    Not a bad session except for the heat, legs are still in bits from squatting 2 days ago. Sumos were unpleasant to say the least.

    Week 9 Day 1 Squats

    Warmup bike + stretching

    Squats
    1x10 @ 20kg paused
    1x10 @ 20kg
    1x10 @ 60kg
    1x10 @ 80kg
    1x10 @ 90kg
    belt
    7x7 @ 100kg

    6th set was very hard, gf pissed me off saying I don't think you will be able to complete the 7th set as the 6th looked very hard. Pissed of I selected an intense song on the iPod and murdered the 7th set not a single rep was hard. The 7x7 felt much easier than the 6x6 last week. Next week is 8x8 @ 100kg. Once I get 10x10 @ 100kg I am going to increase the weight by 5kg until I can get 10x10 again. Good way of increasing strength without all the heavy stress on your joints with 2-5 rep sets plus it counts as cardio :)

    Front squat
    1x10 @ 20kg
    1x10 @ 30kg
    1x10 @ 40kg
    2x10 @ 50kg

    Just messing around with front squats again, felt good might start including them in my hamstring dominant leg days for my quad exercise at the end. Since I have stopped training chest for the past month or so due to my shoulder my flexibility has gotten much better with the high elbows

    Close feet leg press
    1x50 @ 40kg
    1x50 @ 80kg
    1x30 @ 120kg
    1x30 @ 160kg
    1x20 @ 200kg

    Quads felt annihilated after the leg press.

    Leg extension
    1x20 @ 2nd plate
    1x20 @ 3rd plate
    1x20 @ 4th plate
    1x20 @ 5th plate
