Never tried more than bw+20kg but i dont think i could do much more

My joints might agree with me there aswell

LiE · 6 Jan 2012 at 12:44

tbh I've only gone up to +70kg, 80kg is probably too much.

The carabiner on my amazon bought belt pulls apart with 60kg. I have to borrow one from a cable machine for anything above that. At some point I'll customise the entire setup.

Here's some pics of mine. Removed the original chain and metal part that loops through the fabric.

LiE · 6 Jan 2012 at 14:28

Those meals look rather nice in the first post. I will have to try walnuts / bananas and whey

80kg dips?! :eek:

Nice! I've managed 50kg dips and chins before... but 80kg... that's quite some weight!

I find when I do back and biceps my grip fails at the end of the workout. I put shrugs in just before I do biceps and its so hard to grip the DBs but if I stick it with it my grip will improve. It already has improved a load in the past 6 months.

Same thing happened with mine. I'm still surprised it holds as I regularly hang a 140kg barbel off it when doing heel raises. Really ought to buy a thicker gauge one soon though.

I don't do shrugs, haven't really ever done them. If I did I wouldn't be able to do them on a back day not after my core is fried from deads. It's the chins that I really suffer with after back, I guess doing 100kg pull downs goes some way to explaining it. I may swap things around.

LiE · 7 Jan 2012 at 17:23

Major lower back DOMs today, good times

LiE · 9 Jan 2012 at 10:52

Fingers crossed I get my belt and wrist wraps today!

Mansize_tissue · 9 Jan 2012 at 18:22

Let us know what they're like when they arrive.

LiE · 9 Jan 2012 at 19:07

No sign of them today. One thing pullum need to do is make it clear what's happening with your order. It was changed to 'completed' on Friday at 12PM and with first class delivery I'd expect it today.

Legs went well tonight. Got a new PB on squat of 172.5kg. Couldn't do SLDL because my lower back is still a bit tight from heavy DL on Friday so did leg curls instead. Finally swapped reverse db lunges for normal db lunges, which hit my legs really well.

Gym was stupidly business tonight, it's good that I do legs on a Monday because 90% of the guys were doing chest/biceps/triceps.

Delvis · 9 Jan 2012 at 20:37

Of course...Everyone only EVER does Chest / biceps

I'm currently doing reversge DB lunges, any major draw backs because of this?

EDIT: Congrats on the squat

I'll be chuffed when I get to 100kg. Got a while yet on my current program

LiE · 9 Jan 2012 at 20:42

I found them quite tricky for balancing, so reps were slower, it also didn't feel like it was hitting the legs enough. With normal lunges I go for a walk and alternate legs as I go. Doing it this way it's very good at hammering the legs, especially if your knee is going almost to the floor each time.

+1 i normally drink at least a litre while i'm at the gym and another half on the way home. Probably 2-3 litres during the day + shakes

Yeah we have like 1/2 pint cups where I train and I tend to fill it up 3-4times. Im thinking they may be pint cups actually. I get such a dry mouth when training

Hmm k.

Currently reverse lunges are working for me, so i'll stick with them. I alternate on each leg, naturally I don't walk backwards though.

What sort of weight are you using?
