A bit random,m but felt awesome. Lots of bike riding (for me), too (5 miles )!

Obviously, because bike riding is for heroes

That must put weightlifting in the superhero category... :cool:

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. :cool:

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...

mrthingyx · 4 Dec 2016 at 22:26

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. :eek:

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...

mrthingyx · 18 Dec 2016 at 23:25

BACK SQUAT (12) 80-80-80 Figured I would reset my legs. It hurt.
RDL (12) 80-80-80
BROCEPS *

Workout felt good... Just have to keep heading in to the gym!

mrthingyx · 29 Dec 2016 at 22:42

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...

mrthingyx · 2 Jan 2017 at 22:10

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.

Busy with life... Job is rampant AND we decided to get a puppy...

mrthingyx · 10 Jan 2017 at 22:41

Back in for my fortnightly squat session...

HANG POWER SNATCH (3) 40-50-60
BACK SQUAT (12) 85-85-85
RDL (12) 100-100-100

Not the best session as I was watching "Epic Rap Battles" too much between sets... :rolleyes:

MoNkeE · 11 Jan 2017 at 07:30

At least your fortnightly squat session is more regular than my bi-annual sessions

Congratulations on puppy gains tho - don't do too much cardio!

mrthingyx · 11 Jan 2017 at 13:53

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.

65kg strict press? Mirin.

Thanks.

It is back up to where I got to two or three years ago. Hypertrophy routine FTW.

mrthingyx · 17 Jan 2017 at 23:24

Squats.

POWER SNATCH (3) BAR-40-60-60-60 Ropey as a ropey thing.
BACK SQUAT (12) 90-90-90(16) Set the timer for 5 minutes, got 16 reps in on the last set and then couldn't face any more. So lame.

wozza2k · 18 Jan 2017 at 09:13

16 reps is a disgusting rep amount, anything over 10 just makes me want to vomit :/

Having done front squatting for 12-10-10-8-8, back squatting is comparatively breezy!

mrthingyx · 18 Jan 2017 at 21:55

Pressing session...

STRICT PRESS (12) 40(5)-50(5)-60(5)-65(3)-50-50-50(10) No advance on the 65kg triples but happy with the volume...
