Stickman 2: Return of the YOLO...

Did some arms at work. And cable rows, because why not?

POWER SNATCH (3) 40-60-70-70
BACK SQUAT (2) 125-125 Felt heavy, but form felt goooood.
STRICT PRESS (10) 40-45-50(8)-50(4) 60s rest for pressing sucks.
MUSCLE SNATCH w/o LEG DRIVE (8) 40-40-40 For those traps.
DELTS (10)
 
1RM test day, because I felt like it.

POWER CLEAN (3) 60-80-85
BACK SQUAT 60(5)-100(3)-120-130-140 Not bad... Form was ok, too. Could probably have squeezed out another 5kg, but for what?
PUSHUP (12) BW-10-15-20-15-10(8)
DELTSUNTRYS

Amusingly, all this tricep work seems to really help pressing... And bring the horseshoezzzz.
 
Forgot to log...

Wednesday...

OHP (10) 40-50-50
DELTS AND HORSESHOES (12)

SG DEADLIFT (3) 60(5)-100(5)
HIGH SNATCH PULL (8) 100(5)-80-80
PENDLAY ROW (5) 80-90-90
FRONT SQUAT (8) 60-60-60 Because why not?

More squatting soon.
 
Urgh. Trogging soil and hardcore in an effort to shift the kids' playhouse. That was a workout in and of itself. :o

On the hypertrophyz regime whilst on holiday, so stupid one-minute rests... :rolleyes:

BACK SQUAT (8) 90-90-90 Ouch.
GOOD MORNING (5) 80 Just one set to give my back a rest...
PUSH-UP (10) BW-20-20-20
MUSCLE SNATCH-LAT RAISE-TRIZE (10) Two rounds without a rest. That hurt. A lot.

So do I. Beach holiday coming up, too... Although I still have a fat tummy, according to my kids and wife. :cool:

POWER CLEAN (3) 60-80-80 Second set was a bit ropey, and no idea why...
BACK SQUAT (8) 92.5-92.5-92.5 Such burn...
RDL (10) 100-100-100
MUSCLE SNATCH - LATERAL RAISE - TRIZE (10) 22.5-22.5-22.5 Ver humbling, indeed! :eek:

Ta-da! Despite losing 7kg, it doesn't seem to be that different from when I was 99kg... :(

Loads different mate - lighting or not, that's a pretty lean back. Fat stomachs are meant to be there, it's a sign of true power. And the thing with a big stomach, is that as soon as you tense, pow, abs. Best of both worlds :p

Thanks - it looks a lot less awesome now having basically done two weeks of cardio in the Isle of Wight and back home. :(

BACK SQUAT (8)95-95-95 Tomorrow is going to suck-start a leaf blower...
SG RDL (8)80-80-80
DBSS (10) BW-20-20 Yes. Tomorrow is not going to be fun...
DELTS & TRIZE Pjmptastic, but need a couple more weeks of this.

And done. Hot weather made it hard to get into the gym, but that oh-so-sweet prelude to megaDOMS was worth it.
 
Still hurts today, but apparently I may no longer looked like I am walking as if I have soiled myself...

SEATED OHP (10) 40-40-40-45
PUSH-UP (10) BW-10-10-15-15
DELTS AND TRIZE (12)

I do like tricep workouts. Yes I do.
 
DEADLIFT (3) 100-130-150-150-150 Just to check I can still do these.
PENDLAY ROW (10) 60-70-70
MUSCLE SNATCH (10) 40-40-40 Moar for the traps than anything else. Last set was mostly the power shrug component...

Will do broceps tomorrow...
 
Legs have finally recovered, just in time for another bearing. :)

HANG POWER SNATCH (3) 40-60-60
BACK SQUAT (8) 97.5-97.5-97.5 Last session on 8s in this block; 6s next time!
SG RDL (10) 90-90-90
DBSS (10) BW-20-20 Coccyx wasn't happy, so kept the weight low... :(

Easing back into it. Feels good. :)

Bro were you one of the guys when I was in the gym the other night doing every form of curl I thought was possible and even some I didn't?

The pump was big enough to create a singularity, which might have produced a duplicate version of my arm session at another place in time and space...

I thought I felt the vernal equinox coming early but r must have been your arms session

I think so. Notice how the weather changes, too?

Sometimes I like to hit biceps 3 or 4 times a week just so I've really stimulated some growth. Anything less and you may as well call yourself one of those phaggoty "natural" athletes.

The gym I now have in the office is full of cable machines, so arms are the only thing worth bothering with. Every day. BUT I occasionally use creatine, so have no excuse, as am not natty... :(

Yesterday I did:

SEATED OHP (10) 40-45-45-45 Accidental two minute rests make this pressing stuff a LT easier...
PUSH-UP (10) BW(12)-10-10-10
DELTSUNTRIZE

So humid this evening... The workout was not fun.

2*POWER CLEAN > CLEAN 60-80-80 Ooooh. Cleaning without pain. Nice change. :)
BACK SQUAT (6) 105-105-105-105 Such a grind. Ouch.
DBSS (10) BW-BW Coccyx started hurting again. :(
SG RDL (10) 100-100

So hot and unpleasant... Sliding all over the place.
 
Urgh... Very slow this evening.

BACK SQUAT (6) 107.5-107.5-107.5-107.5 Not too bad; and easier than last time...
SNATCH HIGH PULL (5) 100-100-100
MUSCLE SNATCH (10) 30-40-40

Over the past three days, I have started consciously eating more and it is funny how quickly old routines reemerge: I had substantially more to eat on Thursday and Friday than normal and - amusingly - I was even hungrier at the end of each day. Yes.

Winter is coming. So is the bulk. :cool:

Oh, I also used a load of cable machines at work for some back (rows, cable rows, arms, high rows, arms, pulldowns, arms and some moar arms)...
