Definitely get that OHP up broseph, been forever 37.5kg!

Question - overhand or mixed grip for DL? If mixed, at what weight do you normally ditch overhand?

Nitefly · 8 Mar 2013 at 00:35

I expect I'll be forever at 40kg as well - it's a big % increase compared to the other lifts.

Double overhand is used, but I've used straps for my working weight ever since I hurt my wrists. They have recently healed, but I've kept with the straps for now. I have stopped using them for pull downs / negatives, so my forearms feel worn but safely out of the injury zone.

To be fair, I think everyone has issues with OHP. Once you've hit your 'limit' it seems to take a good couple of sessions for it to be able to increase again.

I find I make progress every session, just not 2.5kg over 5 sets.

Squats 90kg - 5,5,5,5,5
Bench 62.5kg - 5,3,4,3,3
Rows - 52.5kg - 5,5,5,5,5
Decline 52.5kg - 5,5,5,5,5

Not much to comment on today. Squats were solid, will be doing them again at 90kg next time.

90kg squats club! 100kg incoming.

How's CBL going? Your treat-tastic back loads are relevant to my interests.

Literally eating a white chocolate magnum right now.

Had 60g of dextrose, a snickers... eyeing up a chocolate easter egg whilst my sausages cook.

Why 90kg again if they were solid? Is this because of injury thing?

They were as solid as my poos.

Make of that what you will.

Being more serious, I think I will totally fail 92.5kg.

Your squats were like brown wee?

More of a brown vapour.

It actually was

Zefan · 9 Mar 2013 at 21:08

Solid = hard as Fuark, not tight, strong, groovy etc.

icecold · 9 Mar 2013 at 21:15

That is so 2009

Nitefly · 13 Mar 2013 at 00:48

Squats 92.5kg - 5,5,5,5,5
OHP 40kg - 5,5,5,4,3
DL 110kg - 5,5,5,5,5
Chin Ups -> negatives to 5 - 5,4,3,2,1

Hip flexors ruined for life I expect. Really struggling to stretch them out.

Zefan · 13 Mar 2013 at 10:55

Yeaaaaaaaah! I knew you wouldn't fail 92.5, glad you didn't chicken out and do 90kg again

Wall//couch stretch should sort your face out, MWOD 2 I believe. I loves it hard.

Chris1712 · 13 Mar 2013 at 11:41

Making great progress Nitefly, we should meet up and backload sometime

. Bristol massive reprazent!

All of this!

Also, stretch glutes

100kg soon

Today was an ambitious gym session. It followed 4 nights of hard drinking and 3 hours of sleep. I am currently hanging out of my arse (/pilesception). But since therandom challenged me to a PB I had to bring on the pain. I changed into my strongman t-shirt and visualised myself as a sexual cobra ready to strike out.

Squats 95kg - 3,3,2,2,2
Rows 55kg - 5,5,5,5,5 (massive cheating)
Bench 62.5kg - 5,4,3,3,2

So yeah, nearly killed myself! Squats were actually dangerous. I have a history of looking strong and failing hastily from nowhere so I really had to be careful this time. A warning to fellow manlets, if you are going to fail, remember to fail safely! I didn't fail any reps but nearly stumbled over on my third set.... yikes.

Spine still in one piece... for now

icecold · 15 Mar 2013 at 23:13

Spine pieces PB!
