That would be nice

So the title of the thread needs changing now, started on 5/3/1 today using the bodyweight accessory exercises.

ohp

15kg 1x5
20kg 2x5
25kg 1x5
30kg 1x5
30kg 1x9

underhand lat pulldowns (in lieu of chinups)

75kg 11/11/10/9/7

dips 5/4/4/3/3

Dips are awesome exercises

toasteh · 5 Mar 2015 at 10:30

yeah, unfortunately the tiny elastic bands known as my arms and chest only let me do a few

GSVBagpuss · 5 Mar 2015 at 11:43

I get massive Chest DOMS from dips - just give it a few more hours

toasteh · 5 Mar 2015 at 12:15

I'm more worried about my lats falling off tbh

toasteh · 6 Mar 2015 at 21:45

day 2: deadlift

30kg x 5
35kg x 5
45kg x 3

50kg x 5
55kg x 5
60kg x 9

hanging leg raises 16/11/9/8/10

lots more deadlift volume than SL, was nice. hadn't tried hanging leg raises before, seemed like grip strength was the limiting factor here. what's the best way to stop swinging back and forth?

Slowly... very slowly. You will find you get your DOMS on much more effectively, too.

Sit-ups? What are you doing? Were you watching the latest exercise DVD from some no-name soap star? :mad:

No sit-ups. Unless you want your core work to match your full depth quarter squats.

Do barbell roll-outs. And then dragon flags.

toasteh · 12 Mar 2015 at 15:46

what you saying about my squats?

mrthingyx · 12 Mar 2015 at 22:06

Nothing. I am abusing you for sit-ups.
