LiE's Log Part 2

LiE · 20 Feb 2013 at 19:15

Chest again tonight, the plan was to improve on Friday's lifts despite the reduced recovery time.

Paused Bench Press
BARxlots x2
60x8
80x3
100x1
110x1
125x5 - this was 120 on friday, so stepping up. Felt pretty tough.
127.5x5 - caught the catchers on the 3rd rep and ended up not pausing on the 4th.
127.5x4 - it was a big ask to do 5, pleased with 4. I'll nail this next week for sure.

Normal Bench
100x8
110x8
110x9 - nice progress from Friday (110x6+f)

Dips
30x8 - ditched 20x8 as the first set
40x8 - went for 40 for 8 instead of 50x6 that I did on Friday
40x8 - pump is getting intense.

CGBP
80x8 - moved up from 70x8 for first set
90x8 - 10kg over last week for 2nd set
100x5+f - failed the 6th, but I wasn't expecting 8 after all the press, 20kg over the 3rd set last week

Diamond Press ups
12, 15, 13+f - more than last week, dat pump.

mmmm chest pump

(monkee, this is how you use lighting

)

sick traps.

Delvis · 20 Feb 2013 at 21:28

What are you dipping on out of interest? Or is there something in the rack?

LiE · 20 Feb 2013 at 21:55

2 bars come with the rack for dipping.

Erich Kriegler · 20 Feb 2013 at 22:09

Awesome pic. Great size. Look thick. Solid. Tight. Keep us all posted on your continued progress with any new progress pics or vid clips. Show us what you got man. Wanna see how freakin' huge, solid, thick and tight you can get. Thanks for the motivation.

Jooocy!

Bodyweight still going up?

mrthingyx · 21 Feb 2013 at 06:02

Pecs to make the average Page 3 girl feel inadequate? Wowzer!

As per ice: what is your body weight, as you seem 'thicker' than the last photo. Could be because of the pump, but...

LiE · 21 Feb 2013 at 06:14

Yep, 83.6kg this morning. Gains.

Nice one

P.S: I'm bigger than you....

At least in physical weight

LiE · 22 Feb 2013 at 20:14

I think I made some gains tonight.

Usual mobility to warm up.

Paused Deads
70x7 (RDL)
100x3
120x3
150x2
170x3
170x3
170x3
Kept the weight at 170. I'm finding it hard to not move my hips first but I was trying hard. Video of 3 170 sets below. 3rd set I was obviously fatigued. My brother was giving commands, not sure why he was saying press lol.

Paused Squats
70x7
100x3
120x3
140x3
150x3
150x3 - nice long pause on the last one. Happy with these, more weight next week. Video of 150 sets below.

Single Arm DB Rows
54x10/10
59x9/9 - grip is struggling on left hand - video of my right arm set below.
59x10/5 - grip went on left hand

Chins
BWx8,8,8

Wide Pull ups
Bwx6,5+f - no pulling power left.

Any improvement ice? I find it tricky to spot.

I think they look pretty.

Rows. Form isn't ideal, lots of movement in the shoulder and scap. Power was good.

Djdom56 · 22 Feb 2013 at 23:07

Paused stuff looks really nice. There's some really good speed on the deads. How come you aren't doing a longer pause? I think that a 3ct would be much more beneficial to both movements there.

Nice sesh brah!

icecold · 22 Feb 2013 at 23:08

Mirin session.

Paused deads are definitely better, but there are still some errant reps. I can actually predict from your set up when they're going to be bad, but I can't put my finger on why... something to do with initial hip position and weight distribution in your feet I think.

That second set of paused squats is the best I've seen you squat :cool:

Slightly untidy DB rows aren't a problem, provided that you don't d-bag your shoulder at the top.

LiE · 23 Feb 2013 at 10:58

Thanks for the feedback. I think I see what you mean, I'll have a play around next week with it.

Squats were feeling good yesterday.

LiE · 25 Feb 2013 at 19:28

Feeling some illness today, nothing serious but does sap me.

Anyway, dem squats.

All kinds of mobility.

Squats
BARxLots x2
70x10
90x5
110x3
130x2
150x1
170x5 - 5kg increase from last week, wasn't too bad. Fatigue quickly.
170x5 - Lol tightness went on the last rep.
170x5 - not as tidy but got through it, fatigue very present. Hello core, wake up.

DBSS (Left/Right)
BWx4/4
28x8/8 - 10kg up on last week.
28x10/8
28x9/8

Reverse Offset Lunges (Left/Right)
15x8/8 - held the weight on my shoulder instead of down by my side.
15x8/8
15x8/8

Glute Med Bands - standing is fun after these.

Video of squats is uploading.

Begbie · 25 Feb 2013 at 20:19

Mirrin that photo.

IMO, one of the best physiques I've seen.

LiE · 25 Feb 2013 at 21:09

Cheers

Squats from tonight.

Strength is increasing I think. 170 was my triples weight I started with a while back.

Delvis · 25 Feb 2013 at 21:49

Easy as pie.

Good work

Just like icecold: reppin' out weights that would staple mere mortals!

Great work. And loving the Page 3.

LiE · 26 Feb 2013 at 10:54

Hopping I get to 180x5x3.
