vegan_rossco Posted December 3, 2012 Author Share Posted December 3, 2012 disappointing start to the week, some douchebag thought it was a good idea to use the only place in the entire gym where you can squat as a bench press area sduhgsiudhgishgosfdho. most of which he spent chatting and fucking around.anyway, no squat today so bench work with assistance. bench pressbar (20 Kg) x 1040 Kg x 850 Kg x 660 Kg x 670 Kg x 570 Kg x 4 (this was supposed to be to failure so I expected a few more reps ah well)50 Kg x 12 dips x10x10x12 press up challenge. massive disappointmentme x 20casey x 36 triceps were killing me so physically couldn't rep anymore wah3-2 to casey. we've decided it's first to 10 light tricep isolation I have a meeting at college on wednesday (I'm the rep for all the land based students so like 150 students haha) so going to gym after the meeting for squats and shoulder work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vegan_rossco Posted December 7, 2012 Author Share Posted December 7, 2012 Friday 7/12/12 Deadlifts, thought I would go light/medium and work on reps50 Kg (110 lbs) x 870 Kg (154 lbs) x 680 Kg (176 lbs) x 5100 Kg (220 lbs) x 3 done as single reps, I even let go of the bar for a second100 Kg (220 lbs) x 1 was supposed to pull another 2 but single reps is difficult!50 Kg x (110 lbs) 12 super easy, I may use 60 Kg as last set high reps from now on. All this talk of shoulder pressing has gotten me to dedicate more time to doing them, especially if it'll help in my benching too.OverHeadPress25 Kg (55 lbs) x 1030 Kg (66 lbs) x 1040 Kg (88 lbs) x 7 was going for 8 :/40 Kg (88 lbs) x 425 Kg (55 lbs) x 10 (to failure) shrugs (weight per dumbbell)20 Kg (44 lbs) x 1225 Kg (55 lbs) x 1230 Kg (66 lbs) x 1235 Kg (77 lbs) x 12could do so much heavier if it wasn't for my grip. 3 light/medium sets for high reps on seated rows (machine) from now on I'll convert my lifts into lbs as most on this site use lbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carrot topless Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 There is a big enough minority here using KGs to not give a shit about converting it.

If you feel like being nice just finish your posts with this link: http://www.onlineconversions.com/weight.php+1 Don't bother converting the units. The only reason most of us use lbs is because that's what's stamped on the plates. I would rather use kg myself but I don't want to deal with converting the units every time I lift. 1 kg = 2.2 lbs, roughly, and those who care can do the math for themselves.

vegan_rossco Posted December 7, 2012 Author Share Posted December 7, 2012 I didn't do it to "cater" for people that couldn't be bothered, I just thought it would make my log more readable for people in the states, all I have to do is times my lifts by 2.2 so it isn't any hassle for me at all plus lbs sound heavier haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbear666 Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 looks like you had a pretty good workout bud! good shoulder pressing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegan_rossco Posted December 7, 2012 Author Share Posted December 7, 2012 yeah thanks man 40 Kg x 7 is technically a pb, by calculation I should be able to push 49/50 Kg, I'll probably test it at some point next week did you train today matey?

mrbear666 Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 do you do it sitting or standing? yeh 50 should be no major deal if you can do 7 with 40,mind you doesnt always work like that tho does it . no im a part timer today my legs are f'in killing and i had to wheelbarrow rocks all day so that didnt help em, do back tomorow i think.

Mini Forklift Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Everything is in kg over here in NZ as well, I've always converted it because I got fed up of people asking how much I'm lifting, or if I'm writing in kg or lb haha. Spending time training your tri's and shoulders will definately help your bench mate ~ good pressing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegan_rossco Posted December 7, 2012 Author Share Posted December 7, 2012 well I use this weight. x reps x .0333 + weight.= 1RM. it was concocted by the legend that is Jim Wendler, it's pretty accurate from what I've experienced, I do them standing but don't the weight at all with legs I do it very strict, I feel sitting is awkward with a bar even when I have access to the power rack, doing a clean before the first rep doesn't hinder me in anyway so standing always wins ah fair enough mate, I get a bit like that carting around massive bloody rollers of wine and champagne all day, I'm sure I'll regret todays training tomorrow when I'm at work and very good point MF it just makes it easier for everyone and is no problem for me to do, thanks it's getting better! one more light/medium bench press session and then I'll be going for another max, I'm scared haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbear666 Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 standing is better, i do it sitting now and again but i find less pressure on my lower back standing! i do negatives sometimes, do say 8 reps failure then jerk the bar up with your legs for a few reps and lower slowly nice intensity booster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mini Forklift Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 You have to leave your fear at the door when you're going for a max mate, any doubt in your mind has to be pushed aside. When you lift for a PB (or even if it's just really heavy) you have to have a clear mind and be able to visualise that lift happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegan_rossco Posted December 7, 2012 Author Share Posted December 7, 2012 Easier said than done eh? I'm sure I'll be fine, I'm looking at 80Kg plus for bench day only a 2.5Kg improvement on my current max, slow and steady! love your new avatar and signature by the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
