The Syla5 Files

Well you'd have spare time in the evening, because you'd gym in the morning.........

Just swap everything around, amazingly the time still fits together in the same manner! Stop being such a Delvis, Delvis.
 
Without clogging up Syla5 thread more :p It might be able to work, the problem would be me getting to the gym before work, the gym opens at 6:30 and I start work at 8:30, it also takes 20-30 mins to get from the gym to work.

I'll have to have a think.
 
So the end of HST 5's cycle 2 week 2 today, i have another week to go, but from here on out its PB territory for a lot of stuff:)

todays workout, 3 sets of 5 unless otherwise stated

Deadlifts 130kg
Bench Press 80kg
RDL 90kg
Walking Lunges 20kg
BB curl 35kg
Pull ups bwx5 3 full sets then added in an extra neg rep at the end of each set

and that was pretty much that for today

How long is that taking you in the morning again? :)

Good work on the deadlifts mate, hoping to do 130kg tonight also.
 
Good work! Looks like things are progressing nicely and PBs are going to be smashed.

Nice lifting Syla. How are the Deadlifts feeling? Also, have you got used to morning training now? :)

Deadlifts are feeling better thats for sure, so hopefully heading in the right direction. As for morning traning, i think i am now fully acclimatised. I have my breakfast shake, blueberries and banana at around 6:15 and this gives about 25 mins for everything to settle before i start my first warmup
 
Cheers...It takes me usually over an hour to do my workouts, it would be a right rush if I was to train there :(

there is puregym you can consider.

there equipment list is awesome except the DB's only go to 36kg (assume not a problem for you for at least a year)

Free Weights.....

Plates will stack up to 400KG

Cables will stack up to 180KG each side

We will have 12 benches, 4 olympic bars, 2 EZ bars, 2 smith machines and 2 squat racks

joining fee is £15, and its £10.99 for the first year, no contract, and its 24/7 so you can get there for 6 you would be sorted!
 
Heh, that doesn't actually look too bad. :p

EDIT: Damn things not open though! :mad:

Can always alter your workouts around the time you need. Just make sure to get the big ones in first and then the odd assistance one :)

I pretty much would be doing the main compounds and that's it :p The puregym Syla5 mentioned looks okay (it's like the kiss gym I believe?) But it's not open til Jan! :p

however, it being 24 hours means I can go uber early
 
Starting the new territory week for cycle 2 :)

This week i started with my A workout, so hit squats.

finished squats last week at 115kg, matching what i finished cycle 1 on, so today i decided to really push on.

Squats 120x5 (belt) 120x5(belt) 120(decided to unbelt)x3 (10 second breather rest the bar) 2, omg last rep was a grind with serious knee collapse!!! i have videos but my youtube is playing up so i shall get them loaded when i can. Overall i am pleased that i pushed myself, but i can do better.

set 1:

set 2:

set 3:

Pull-ups 10kg +1neg at the end of each set
Dips 32.5kg

OHP 52.5kg

calf raises 75x5 just not getting any kind of pump, dropped to 50kg for 2 sets of 10

strict straight back Ab crunches on a ball 20 reps for 2 sets

abductor (opening legs version) 40x10 45x10

I may need some advise on this but i think my knee collasping issue is due to weakness in my glutes, which is why i threw in the abductor work at the end.

Thinking next cycle to throw in some glute bridge/pull throughs to help work on this.

One thing i really noticed today was that i only got about 5 1/2 hours sleep due to one pretty poorly daughter :( and i really felt that in the gym. I also think that i am feeling the effect of squatting or deadlifting twice a week!

Not sure how you managed a straight back crunch :p ;)

With calve raises, you need weight and lots or reps to get a nice pump, if you have to as well just stick some BW supersets in to get it going. I'm finding single leg calve raises make my calve pump up nice currently.
