mrbear666 Posted November 30, 2012 Author Share Posted November 30, 2012 friday, back! weighed in at 84.9 kilos today havent weight myself for a while after MF and rossco talking bout deadlifts, i decided to start doing them again tonight, i wanted to stay light and work on technique but couldnt resist going a bit heavier. 1 set 20kg 30reps1 set 60kg 10 reps1 set 80kg 10 reps1 set 100kg 10 reps (failure)1 set 40kg 20 reps 5 mins stretching 30mins fast spinning bike was made up to deadlift 100kg again its hard to lower the weight tho because im upstairs on a wooden floor so i have to slow right down for the last inch or so of the rep so it doesnt damage to floor ill probably keep the weight down next week and go for 20 with 80kg, and 15 with 90kg food today 6 slicesbrown bread toast with jam2 cups brown rice1tin butter beans1tin black eyed beans6 baked potatoes1 pineapplesmall dry salad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegan_rossco Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 wahey! good to see you deadlifting! high rep deads feel great don't they ? get yourself a couple of spongey mats? I have some that were intended for taking camping but they've become a little platform for the weights in my room haha, where did you get your weights from dude? I got mine from argos (lol) agessss ago but only have up to 35Kg at home. also noticed loads of beans in your food for today I just got a tin of the new heinz 5 bean its so good!

vegan_rossco Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 holy shit that sounds amazing!! Currently saving for a deposit as I'm getting a decent place with the mrs next summer so can't invest in something that cool just yet but I'll need a set up like that! it'll save me a lot of money in the long run paying for gym memberships and petrol money getting there yeah they're standard heinz baked beans but consist of 5 different types of bean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbear666 Posted November 30, 2012 Author Share Posted November 30, 2012 theres a pic of it a few pages back somewhere. i think it was 500quid for the rack bench and all the weights but its a proper heavy duty 3inch box section one, i got in on good old 0% finance about 5 years ago. fitness-superstore.co.uk brilliant place. its definately works out cheaper, plus you can have the music as loud as you want, and shout YEAH BUDDY whenever you like too first stop tomoro is tesco for some heinz dream beanz!

Mini Forklift Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Which Mike Mentzer book? I've had great success from his stuff, I highly rate it. I have most of his books and a few of his videos and seminars where he is speaking. Food looks delicious !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbear666 Posted December 3, 2012 Author Share Posted December 3, 2012 yeh my food is simple, i cant be bothered cooking fancy stuff lol just big portions and im happy. my forearms feel fine today! was hoping for some soreness, do some more tonight with more weight. ive woken up with a sore back for some reason today hopefully it will ease off in a bit. ive got a mike mentzer dvd, and 'the wisdom of mike mentzer' also 'high intensity training the mike mentzer way'. like how he recommends a diet of 60%+ carbs dont hear bodybuilders saying that these days.

Mini Forklift Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 MM was ahead of his time, a shame more people didn't take much notice of his methodology. Shame how his final years ended up, what a waste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbear666 Posted December 3, 2012 Author Share Posted December 3, 2012 yeh he was a legend and what a physique, i much prefer physiques like his, frank zane and so on, massive but real looking, unlike the pros today! right, work for me now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrbear666 Posted December 6, 2012 Author Share Posted December 6, 2012 cheers buddy! chocolate cake and ale ive not had a vegan cake, they good? it is hell but i love training forearms they look so cool for a bit after all pumped up and veiny haha i found it easier 2nite than the other day so must be working! make one mate its pumps your whole arm up! 107? ok for a cyclist/weight trainer i suppose, yeh i used to be able to lift alot more on everything, but that was when i was a big lump at a touch under 17stone, taking evry supplement under the sun and eating about a million calories a day of, well pretty much anything i keep forgetting that im much lighter now so my lifts arent going to be as good. you training tomorow?

vegan_rossco Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 vegan cakes are fantastic! my father in law is an old fashioned farmer and was reluctant to eat some of it but once he did he had seconds haha how did you make it? I used to do light forearm curls and a weird yet effective technique where you hold two or three full bottles of wine or water, (wine bottles are better) inbetween your fingers and walk. sounds odd but maybe that's because I'm not explaining it right haha regardless of that you get a killer forearm workout, hurts like shit!!well that's still an impressive number bloody hell you used to be heavy haha, what weight are you at now?yeah I'm training tomorrow lunch time, I was gonna squat but lunges yesterday have resulted in pretty bad leg doms :/ maybe I'll deadlift and hit shoulders again haha. you training tomorrow? got much planned for the weekend?

mrbear666 Posted December 6, 2012 Author Share Posted December 6, 2012 hmmm i might have to try and make one sumtime! haha is he old school and thinks vegans are nuts? i just got a scaffold tube and covered it in bandage and tied a rope around it in the middle about 3 foot long. just tie the rope to weights then twist in your hands and wind the weight up then do the same to lower it! eh? i cant picture your bottle workout! yeh i was a big lump, not much definition but was strong, im 84kg now so around 13 stone something i think, racing bear! ah leg DOMS lovely innit sweet, i might hit the deadlifts again too but if my lower back is stiff after the squats ill just do some rows + chins etc no plans for the weekend really, might get the ducks some new houses and stuff like that! what about you? are u working again?
