Deadlift

Bar x10
60kg x8
80kg x3
100kg x2
120kg x1
140kg x16 singles (1min rest)

Tore a callus clean off on my 5th set because I forgot to chalk up, was so pissed at myself because it ALWAYS happens. After that everything felt heavy, what's up with that? I always thought 'squeezing the bar makes the weight feel lighter' was a broscience kind of thing but now it makes sense because I couldnt squeeze the bar as much and my strength really seemed to blow ass.

I lost count on my OHP, I know I got 6, mighta been 7 though. On my 6th or 7th set I lost my balance or something just gave out and I almost fell backwards, wasn't a lack of pressing strength. I'll def move back up to 67.5kg next week and try and get some sets with it.

Tricep rape



I didn't think this would help much towards my training at first but my OHP has been on the up and up and I've been smoking regular OHP PR's while in a deficit so I've kept with it.

It was something I stole from Mike Hedlesky (sp?) and then I put it through a mincer and overcooked it.

The idea was ME bench + 1 high rep DB press + high rep/set tricep extensions. I can't do ME because I'm at home but I incorporated the rest and it seems to be having a positive effect.

Pushups with 1minute rest

Week 1: x16x13x9x6
Week 2: x15x10x7x7
Week 3: x18x12x10x9

Pushups on fists with slight pause
Week 4: x12x10x8x6 (2min)
Week 5: x13 x8 x8 x6 x5 (1min)
Week 6: x14 x10 x9 x8 x6

1 Arm Hammer grip OH DB press

Week 1: 10kg x22 
Week 2: 10kg x27
Week 3: 10kg x32
Week 4: 12.5kg x32
Week 5: 17.5kg x22
Week 6: 19kg? x18

1 Arm OH DB extension 1-2min rest

Week 1: 10...kg  x10 x9 x8 x7
Week 2: 10...kg  x12 x12 x10 x10

Speed pulls + GM's + Chins + Rows



My legs still feel wrecked from squatting and getting my good/badgirl on so I just did some speed/form stuff for my deads. I think I may rotate them every other week with a deadlift variation because I have been feeling pretty trashed as of late and never seem fully recovered.


Speed pulls

110-120kg x8-10 singles

My speed seems to suck. I watched a few speedpulls on youtube before the gym and they moved fast as hell but I couldn't match there speed with even the bar.. Maybe something to work on? These did move alot faster than normal though, I think 110 was just about right.


GM's

60kg x8
60kg x8
60kg x7

RDL's from now on.

All was going well up until my last set/rep when the bar almost rolled over my head. I don't have a power rack so if anything happens it's gonna roll down my neck and over my head, I don't wanna take that risk again. I tried a few DB GM's but they were really awkward to hold in the bottom position.


Chins +3 sets

Weeee.. Glad I can do chins now. Feels great not having to walk over to the pulldown machine. I feel like I should take my shoes off when I go over there because it's all shiny and clean.

Might do 4x5 next week or sets of 4 again with BW+a huge 2kg.


BB rows +10kg.. The f.

Pretty much a fail. Warmups felt heavy though so I knew my worksets weren't going to start or end well.

Will try same weight again next week.


DB flat press

26kg x12
28kg x10
32kg x6

Don't think I've ever done flat presses before, kinda liked em. Weight sucks but OHP before hand wrecks my pressing strength. Gonna try build up to the 50s on these using 3-5x5 anyway.

Is it cheating if I use the rubber floor mat to my advantage so I can get extra bounce out of the hole?  They were quite deep..
