Delvis: weight lifting log - time to conquer

Freefaller · 19 Oct 2013 at 22:44

You find it harder to lift weights with rest between sets???

MoNkeE · 19 Oct 2013 at 22:50

Stop snapping your neck down at the end of every rep. You're doing well to keep your spine completely neutral every rep but then suddenly look down once you're stood up!

Delvis · 19 Oct 2013 at 22:53

Fair shout monkee, better than looking up I guess though?

Nate: wut? You mean between reps presumably? If I did touch and go od have a banana back, no thanks jeff.

The first rep is always the toughest for me and if I pause between reps it's harder again. It's just easier for me to have a momentum going. Pausing for me is like jumping in the air without bending your knees. I like to have some spring back power.

They're not deadlifts if you bounce it off the floor..

Freefaller · 20 Oct 2013 at 08:51

You're not doing deadlifts then - and your form is probably compromised as a result.

Chest today.

Managed the 26's for 8 on set 1, set 2 I failed miserably, nearly dropped the things on my face (2 with 2 more helped), set 3 think I got 8 again. Had help getting them to the top of my ROM, from there I'm usually okay.

After that nothing special, just got pumped y0.

Shoulders
OHP: Bar x 10, 30 x 5, 40 x 1.
Push press: 45kg x 4, 40kg x 8, 6, 35kg x 7.
Arnold's: 16's x 7, 14's x 7 + 4, 12's x 10.
Side raises (one arm): 8's x 15, 15, 6's x 15
Hammer Curls S/S: 18's x `12, 16's x 10, 14's x 10, 12's x 8.

Leaned back a bit far on the OHP, need to just stop next time otherwise ill snap my back. Also forgot my damn shirt so had to drive home and shower.

You are pleased you can squat 110kg, OHP 40kg and push press 45kg? :confused:

Good job on giving it a try!

Squat 120kg actually, and Push press 50kg for a single I'll have you know :mad:

Either way, yes, because my squats are crap and my shoulder has aids. Funnily enough my left shoulder is still weaker than my right

And that makes it better?

To be fair, push press should be in everybody's regime for that there explosive explosiveness.

Delvis · 24 Oct 2013 at 14:54

Yes.

Strict press doesn't work too well for me as pushing from the lowest point is where my right shoulder is the weakest and where it hurts the most, push pressing the weight helps

That and it actually enables me to shift some weight for once.

Push-press is a better exercise, anyway.
