Stickman 2: Return of the YOLO...
- Thread starter mrthingyx
- Start date
Wedding weekend in somewhere past Swansea... Considering I thought Swansea was as far as it got, I was surprised by how far England keeps on going. 
BACK SQUAT (6) 122.5-122.5-122.5-122.5(4) Nearly a full house but wasn't sure how clean the last two reps would have been.
SLDL (10) 100-100
Very tiring as diet and sleep have been rubbish... But there we go. Legs felt awesome afterwards (are still humming nicely).
And yes - I am just joshing about the whole England thing, before anybody asks.
I know Swansea isn't as far as one can go!

I know Swansea isn't as far as one can go! Very much so.
Did some cable-machine back work on some day this week, which meant today was clearly legs.
BACK SQUAT (6) 125(4)-125-125-125 Body is feeling a bit off... And I just couldn't sort my rhythm on the first set...
POWER SNATCH (3) 60-60-60 Slow, but unsurprising...
Happy with the squatting, but it could have been better. More sleep is definitely required.
That must put weightlifting in the superhero category...
STRICT PRESS (10) 50-52.5-52.5-52.5(8+2)-52.5(8+2) Triceps were smoked... So I decided:
PUSH-UP (10) BW-10-20-20-20-BW Yup... Triceps died a fiery death... So I decided:
DELTSUNTRIZE (10) Ho-yes.
Pump was spectacular. Yes.
Did some cable back'n'bize earlier in the week. Then some bizentrize yesterday. And some squats.
BACK SQUAT (2) 127.5-127.5-127.5(3)-127.5(3)-127.5-127.5 I wasn't counting properly for a couple of sets. Derp.
SNATCH PULL (3) 100-100-100
Session was late, so I was knackered and decided to go for a "rest" day...

BACK SQUAT (6) 127.5-127.5-127.5(3)-127.5(3) Probably should have gone for a third sextuple, but just didn't feel amazing. This close to a 6RM and fatigue is bound to happen sooner rather than later.
STRICT PRESS (10) 40(5)-55-55-55(8) Obamanotbad.jpg
It got late... And I was hungry.

Finally back in the gym after a week of looking at puppies.
BACK SQUAT (3) 140-140-140(1)-100(8)-100(8) Working sets felt too heavy after a week off.
CLEAN PULL (5) 100-100-100 Technique shot to a smelly heap to start with, but got better for the last set.
I also did some pressing yesterday in my work's main gym and almost managed three sets of five for OHP at 60kg (last set managed four reps). Just to see if I could do it. Shame I can't do jerks/PP at home...

Finally got back into the gym after acquiring a new cocker spaniel puppy... The little piranha needs to make some gains.
BACK SQUAT (12) 80-80-80-80(8) So much pain is headed my way...
RDL (12) 100-100-100
Just desperate to get some consistency going...

Z0mg... Two training days within two weeks! Feel the gainsssszzzzzzz...
HANG POWER SNATCH (3) 40-50-60 Yeeesh. All power... But technique was not so much.
BACK SQUAT (3) 100-120-120-120 Easy day...
STRICT PRESS (12) 40-40-45-45(9)
PUSH-UP (12) 10-10-10
DELTSUNTRIZE (*)
So much triceps pump it was unreal. Yes.

Cheeky shoulder session over lunch...
STRICT PRESS (12) 40(5)-50(5)-60(5)-65(3)-45-47.5-47.5(8)
DELTSANTRIZE (12) Had nothing left. Shoulders and trize had been nuked.
Meant to do chest, but that can happen later.

Thanks.
It is back up to where I got to two or three years ago. Hypertrophy routine FTW.
So... a quick leg session.
HANG SNATCH (3) BAR-40-60-60-60
BACK SQUAT 60(3)-90(42) Errrrmagersh. That was foul.
So. In five minutes I managed 42; I was duffed up by 4:30 but figured that was more than that fey git of a cyclist and therefore enough.
Legs are ruined. Very ruined.

To be fair, what hurt the most was my upper back-dated keeping that tension for five minutes was actually painful.
Yes, my legs are tired and sore today, but they aren't actually that bad. It wasn't the sort of thing that left me close to vomiting (10RM on DBSS is actually worse), it was just metabolic irritation. If that is a thing.
Probably a hint that I didn't try hard enough.
