icecold's training log

Was that 25 reps of 70kg in 1 set?! :eek:

icecold · 28 Jun 2013 at 23:37

Yep

I want 30, at which point I'll move up to 75kg. I did 29 last week, but today I ran out of time and had to more or less giant set from the last set of OHP onwards. I think I might make slightly better progress when I'm not trying to do so much volume with short rests...

Freefaller · 28 Jun 2013 at 23:49

I doubt I could do that with 60 let alone 70! Madness!

mrthingyx · 29 Jun 2013 at 00:24

That OHP is disgusting after that benching.

I like that.

icecold · 29 Jun 2013 at 12:43

FF, I'm sure you could do it with 60, but are wise enough to not want to

I'm kind of doing it as a cool down, and maybe some day I'll be able to get 20 reps of 100kg.

Mrthingy, thank you sir

Traps on fire!

30 reps of bench press with any weight is painful.

icecold · 29 Jun 2013 at 20:46

Yeah there is a nice burn

Training 29/06/13

For some reason they were painting the powerlifting room today, but this did mean ALL KINDS of outside training was going on. Shirtless gains.

Long paused beltless deads
bar x lots
60x10
100x5
140x3
180x3
210x3 PB
200x3
200x3
200x3
200x3
These felt very strong today.

BOR
80x10x4?

Pull ups
bwx5x3
Stealth fatigue from the paused deads! 5 wasn't a max, but I wanted clean reps with short rests.

Face pulls
some

Tire flips
not many

Prowler
some

Farmers runs
fatigue

Enjoyable session!

Thanks! I actually quite like beltless, but I haven't done regular deadlifts beltless for a long time (those are paused deads, so there is a 4 count pause in the middle of the weak point of the concentric - resulting in one of the most horrible exercises to do).

In theory, bletless places a greater stress on the core. I don't know if I'm massively weaker beltess, but definitely slower (which definitely makes me weaker on these paused ones because of the extra time under tension).

Judging from today's session, beltless paused + farmers definitely rapes the core!

UPDATES PHAGGOT!!

icecold · 2 Jul 2013 at 15:49

DELOAD PHAGGOT

1/6/13
Deadlift
up to 220, then some beltless singles at 180 because I was bored

Bench
up to 130, then some triples at 100 because I was bored

Inverted KB press
Some sets with 18kg. Very bored now, although that might have been a PB

Deception · 2 Jul 2013 at 15:52

Boredom PB?

Delvis · 2 Jul 2013 at 15:58

Deload? Dafaq is this?

icecold · 3 Jul 2013 at 22:43

Training 03/07/13

Deads
130x2x8 + 6 chains 60 seconds rest

Bench
75x2x6 + 4 chains 60 seconds rest

Managed to russtle an intercostal muscle in my sleep somehow. Uncomfortable/10

Pigeon_Killer · 3 Jul 2013 at 22:45

I knackered mine on the leg press a few years ago, really not a muscle that's forgiving to any kind of movement.

icecold · 3 Jul 2013 at 22:49

Yeah I've done it before at the front and it was murder. Such a weird random thing.

This doesn't seem so bad, and it's in my back so it generally moves less. Benching was uncomfortable today though, so I might take it easy on Friday.

Delvis · 4 Jul 2013 at 09:31

What muscle are we on about? Do I have one?

Djdom56 · 4 Jul 2013 at 16:14

The muscles in between your ribs that facilitate breathing movements

Delvis · 4 Jul 2013 at 16:17

I THINK I may have a couple.

icecold · 4 Jul 2013 at 16:20

Mine are mostly scar tissue it seems.

Nate Silvers · 4 Jul 2013 at 20:10

Didn't realize you was that strong icecold, I was spotting a guy at the gym yesterday benching 140kg not far off your 130 and I told the guy he's on his own. That was some heavy weight for a bench press seeing it in real life, he said he's been training 15 years and used to be a power lifter he's 6'7" absolute monster.
