Yeah good effort mate.

Might be, A. Me being a noob or B. The angle of the video. But your grip looks very wide, do you always DL so wide?

300 is easy going to get smashed this year

making me want to deadlift with that vid of UE' doing 270 that looked mega easy for you! i also deadlift with really wide grip, feels more natural as i have lanky arms, so i can get lower down if i go wide grip

yeah same for me m8, but ive had a number of experienced and tall lifters tell me to go narrower so im not willing to claim to have reinvented the wheel. Might have l;ooked easy but the 280 that came after wasnt moving lol. i probs have around a 290 max but comp progression there went 180, 220, 240, 250, 260, 270 and as folk dropped out rest got less and less and i was done!

 

[ash_scotland88]

Thanks guys, I'll look into what I can change to help shift the last lot of fat.

Bent Over Row Superset w/ Lat Pulldown - 12/12x3

Chest/Triceps:
Incline Bench Press - WU15, W10+5(6 second negs)x2
Chest Press Superset w/ Cable Crossover(10 second contraction final rep) - 20/15
Bench Press Giant Set (Heaviest Weight First, no rest just drop) - 10/12/15/Bar until Failure
Cable Pushdowns - 15x3
DB Extension Superset w/ Bench Dips - 10/20x3

Legs:
Leg Extension - 20/20/50/50/15(Last set hold at the top for a whole 2 seconds)
Squat Superset w/ Front Squats - 15/15, 20/10, 10/20

Seated DB Curl - 15x4
Bar Curl Pyramid Giantset (no rest, next weight and go) - 15/20/25 x2

All that must be done with no more than 30 seconds rest. And ideally with a training partner so they can take the weights off for you

Steedie,

Being thick here a bit but Pyramids (Side Laterals) is it

15 light 20 heavier 25 heavier 20 heavier 15 heavier

Or is it 15 heavy 20 light 25 lighter 20 lighter 15 lighter

Cheers bro.

Just joined my local pure gym and I definitely win at having the gym with the smallest free weights area. I looked at the usage statistics online and it was as low as it gets between 9-11 but it was still packed. It has 3 power racks and 2 smith machines which quite good considering the weights room is around 25m2 but I can see it being a nightmare in the evenings.

 

[Delvis]

It will be heaving in the evenings Dan, you need to either go during the day or in the morning. OR somehow get there when its quetish after work and just hog the equipment.

I went to outs tuesday evening last week, there was basically queues to use the benches.

 

[tom_e]

Same at mine, even at 6am it's not exactly quiet.

 

[Skeptic]

1 squat rack, 1 bench gym crew checking in.

 

[Fireskull]

1 Squat rack that is also the BB bench rack also checking in....

Plenty of benches for DB's though.
