i decided to hit the DL and FS today, but rather than drive to gym decide my back was too sore still and have to head straight home i did it at home in the garage.
meant i had to use my tyre + weight plates for DL

tyre+35kg plates (think tyre is 75-80kgs so went on light assumption just in case) 10-10-10-10-10-10 also made this a grip intensive ( Read more... )

probably not interesting for anyone other than onesti, but nobody is making you read this so don't moan!

( gym stuff )

strongman/conditioning today:
total of 4 tyre carries, 2 sets of 5 bollard squats, 2 sets of tyre-stone lifts 5 reps each
cardio tyre +35kg carry 20 paces, tyre-stone carries, bollard carries done in : 46:15, 46:30, 43:65, 43:00 timing off as i was timing it and doing the workout could probably cut it down to 40 seconds if someone else was timing.

today i was rushed for time so instead of going 10x3 decided to gun for 5x5 ( Read more... )

deadlift 140kg did 15 total reps including 3 sets of 3 one done overhand other 2 with mixed grip. all singles done overhand to keep grip working

push press/jerk alternating 65kg 5-5-5-5-5-5

did some shrugs and 3 pull up singles just to see if i can. will be looking to add these in from now on.

this will be difficult

1 is i believe rachaels (no surprise there) flapjack made with bananas in the mix and half covered with plain chocolate

2 triple chocolate brownies made with banana in the mix, darker choc is better, these are really rich and some cannot eat them due to this. i have never had this "too rich" experience so no problem. recipe ( Read more... )

shoulder press 70kg barbell 3-3-3-3-3 this is almost what i was doing before so felt good to do this again
deadlift 120kgs 5-5-5 overhand grip then had to change to mixed grip 5-5

mixed bag really, i used to do 120kg deadlifts as part of a cardio session so it sucks to be finding them really hard. although my press as said is almost back where it was ( Read more... )

following DL other day my hamstrings were TIGHT as hell! probably a combination of night club jumping around followed by the DLs but still

today squat 130kgs 5-5-5-5-5 felt good, have not decided whether to just add 5kgs and aim for 5x5 next session, do 135kg for 5x3 or even do some
1RM stuff and see how i get on. this is tempting as i am going on ( Read more... )
