Dom's Training Log

Oh it's fine. This is what it's here for really, I can keep track of my workouts and people can ask questions.

I might change it a bit after the qualifier to include some more things like diet and other such that are relevant to nationals but I'm not sure yet.



I hate posting off my phone. However interesting fact of the day: I'm sat in the middle of a lake :D.
 
Only had time for a short session today which was a shame but it doesn't matter. Very pleased with how my squats went.

Squat
10xbar
8x60kg
5x100kg
6x6x127.5kg

Bench
somexbar

5x60kg
3x70kg
3x80kg
1x85kg
1x90kg
1x95kg
0x100kg :(

Squat felt good as I said, it was very easy if I'm honest and I had a play around with some different bracing and timing bits but I think I'm good as I had it before :).

Video coming next week.
 

Don't know why there is no sound, it's very upsetting :(.

Like I said I had a bit of a play with some different timings of bracing and breathing, also went to full range on the last rep just for fun.

Dinosaur Walk Thing

Don't know the real name for the Last exercise but you go into a push up position on the sliders with core fully braced and walk your hands forwards pulling your feet with you so you look like a dinosaur dragging it's tail :p. That circuit is atrociously good, my core is ruined now :).

The squats felt great, I find that the belt tends to help with the speed a little just because I'm able to put a lot more tension in my core. It's definitely a nice thing to train with out it though. I will still use it on dead and heavy day squats though.


Here's is a nice video of my squats:

Ab Wheel
3x5xBW + 2 chains

Back was very tired today so I sacked off some stuff.

Ab wheel was heavy loaded and very very slow with a 2-3 count at the end of each rep. Absolutely horrendous :).

Deadlifts were fast and easy, same for bench.

 
I was down to about 76.5kg today which is nice, that means I only have 2.5kg left to lose in a month but some of that can be done with water manipulation.

Circuits tonight so more weight going to be dropped tonight :)
 
I think your plan of keeping on hammering your fat loss is the way to go. Then you'll be able to add more muscle after this first comp.
 
Random question dom, do you and ice train at the same place? Cause from his vids he looks like he's training in the posh part of the gym lol!

Anyway sorry for random question. Lifting is looking good, strong and smooth, how long till the first comp?
 
:D

I'm completely shattered now. I had coaching all day then I went to circuits but I didn't really do much because I was so knackered. Now I'm going to stuff my face :).


Sometimes he trains in my gym other times he trains in a 24hr one :)

Didn't do any core stuff because I was fried and I'll do it tomorrow.

Swapped Arnolds for military press. I've been wanting to do it for a while but I just never got round to it, I was just feeing things out really, 40kg was ok, 45kg was a little tough after everything else so I think I'll stay around there for a bit. I'm also tempted to play with behind the neck presses but that might just be me being silly :).

Like I said, no gym today but I went to gymnastics to have a bit of fun, lots of stretching and soft tissue and then some gentle stability stuff like handstands :).


Edit, just noticed this watching the video back, look at the defect in my hips at the lock out :), oops. I'll fix that next week :).
