mrbear666 Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 hey maybenot, all is ok thanks just really busy at the minute, still training and eating though! weigh 104kg at the moment............hows things with you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maybenot Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 things for me... stronglifts 5x5, body weight at 71kg, trying to make those gains! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbear666 Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 long time no post......... still training and eating, although alot cleaner, i had been eating everything in sight in pretty much any amount i felt like but i have tidied it up alot now. sticking to good clean bodybuilding foods........i lost 3-4 kilos straight away and had to tighten mybelt a bit too lol, but im guessing it was mostly water from all the junk carbs and salt.......... weigh 100kg now......training is going good havent lost any strength, at a point where i can bench 120kg anytime now, i think 140kg isnt out of the question soon. also doing bent over rows with 100kg (with an olympic bar on an incline bench) helps take injury potential away and also makes it alot stricter i find. iam maxing the machine in the gym on rope pressdowns which is 60kg i think, nothing unbelievable but it looks good 120kg leg extensions for 20 plus reps. i also did 48 reps of 60 kg bench press which i was happy with, had DOMS from hell the day after though, i would like to be able to do 60 reps with 60kg in the future. injuries arent too bad at the minute learnt how to manage them alot better these days and know what i can and cant do! hope anyone who stops by is well, and feel free to have a chat!

HIT Rob Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Hey Mike, Looking good mate, sweet numbers, i like the incline bench row myself, totally agree with your points on it. Are you still on the upper / lower body split? Hope your having a great summer. BestRob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbear666 Posted July 27, 2014 Author Share Posted July 27, 2014 Hey Rob how are you buddy? sorry bout the late reply, seems to be getting a regular thing for me on here im doing 3 days a week, too much for us HIT'ers i know but its working and im enjoying it so ill stick to it for now, ill probabaly go back to some proper HIT in september. im doing a kind of powerlifting/bodybuilding routine i suppose. on monday ill do 10-12 sets of bench working up to 3-4sets of heavy singles/doubles...........wednesday ill do the incline bench row we were talking about for the same kind of thing except going no less than 6-7 reps. then on a saturday or sunday i do a HIT leg workout and sometimes a little arms if i can be bothered just for the pure vanity of getting the pumped up feeling! had a chest infection/flu/cold thing all the way from hell for a week and a half and finish my antibiotics tomorow, trained last night and this morning though just because i couldnt hold off any longer was nice but feeling a bit weak, back to normal by the end of the week i reckon though as ididnt let the illness stop me eating just force fed myself so i didnt lose too much weight! your training going welll mate? mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbear666 Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 trying to figure out some goals for the future i never really have any, just get bigger stronger better etc........if i dont reach my goals i always get very angry upset about it, i mean really bad so i never really have set ones like i said.........but debating on whether toset a goal of 150kg bench press as a little while ago i did 135 for 3 reps. just wary of injury pushing maximum 1 reppers.......just building back up after the bit of illness i had, benched 100kg today very very easily couple of days rest now then legs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing worse than a summer cold, am sure the hotter weather isn't helping, hopefully your back to full steam soon. Am good bud, got a promotion at work recently, but means 50+ works per week, so training as efficiently as possible, trying to get the most out of the least:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah mate, little more wonga:) I think i going to leave the super kitted home gym for a while and just pay as i go, found a cracking wee gym in the out skirts of Belfast, real heavy duty machines and it costs just £3 a time. Just means a 35 mile commute though, still its better than the big corporate gyms that are full of functional training "experts", spice boys and posers Instead, me and the misses are planning on going to Iceland for a wee break in the new year, we can get direct flights from Belfast now, she wants to the the northern lights and natural spar's, but i want to go visit Magness Ver Magnussen's gym formerly owned by Jon Pall Sigmarsson:))) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbear666 Posted August 3, 2014 Author Share Posted August 3, 2014 alright pal, £3! thats alright isnt it mate lucky your into HIT though or that journey would get tedious doing it 4 or 5 times a week big "popular" gyms suck, give me under ground type ones any day! i would love to go to iceland, i would definitely make a trip to jon palls grave too, him and magnus are 2 of my childhood heroes have a look at this if you havnt already seen it mate youll probbaly enjoy it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIT Rob Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Hey thanks for the video bud, that was a good wee show, enjoyed that:) Am the same as yourself mate, i grew up watching them every new years day lol. I remember Geoff Capes being my favorite as a child. But my all fav's were Magness Samuelsson (loved the first year he competed and broke Nathan Jones's arm lol, 95 i think) and Ver Magnesson (brilliant all rounder).

mrbear666 Posted August 7, 2014 Author Share Posted August 7, 2014 reached my goal of bencing 150kg on tuesday, was a bit of a shock to be honest but i have been doing pretty well with benching lately.........warmed up on the bar, then 40kg, then 60kg, then 100kg jumped to 140 and did 1 rep with that then and managed to get the 150 after a rest.......i think it helped i was in a foul mood after a bad days work. happy nonetheless with that though.

mrbear666 Posted July 27, 2015 Author Share Posted July 27, 2015 Almost a year since i posted in here, times flies when your enjoying yourself lol.......hope that anyone who i used to chat to that drops in are well, injury free and training hard i had a good winters training, i was weighing in at 106 kg at one point and pretty strong too, i benched 100kg for 22 reps at one point and did 12 with 120kg. I also managed 33reps of the 100kg stack of lat pulldowns. i havent trained properly since march now due to and old injury coming back with a vengeance. Turns out it is nerve damage in my shoulder and neck so im having alot of physio, massages, chiropractor etc to try and sort it. I can train legs though so i iam atleast able to do something heavy, they look damn good too at the moment if i do say so myself! i weight 99kg at the moment with a 34 inch waist which i would like to get to 32 but it might not be possible. feel free to say hello would be nice to hear from old friends mike.
