klaatu21 Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 Realistically? No I don't . But I'm going to try my damned hardest. How would you advise benching when you know your gonna hit failure if you've no chance of a spotter? Squat rack? Yeah it's all good, weekend off soon:) how's things with you?

vegan_rossco Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Wrong answer! you'll do fine man! But doing it in the squat rack is definitely a good idea if you don't have a spotter, it'll make you more confident and more willing to try if you know there's no chance you'll get your neck crushed baha.Ahh lucky you man enjoy your weekend! All good hear man no training now until monday but may throw in some cardio for fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klaatu21 Posted February 1, 2013 Author Share Posted February 1, 2013 01/02day 24 squats57.5kgpress25kgdeadlift95kg i think ive cracked it, press was finally fun, and i really powered that weight up, really suprised my self with deads, was a battle but did it, my grip started to fail on the last two reps, so that needs addressing. and sensai ross, forgive me for doubting you and myself not a single twinge in my knee either so a pretty damn good day, apart from the huge bruise growing just above my right knee from deads hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegan_rossco Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I TOLD YOU!! Ahha good job moosh! You could get a grip trainer from amazon matey only about a tenner, or some cheap chalk for when you do them, my grip is super shit and my palms are a mess from years of playing drums baha! Are you benching on sunday or monday?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klaatu21 Posted February 1, 2013 Author Share Posted February 1, 2013 Mondays bench day, may have a Mate coming who can spot me. to be honest it was only the grip in my right hand, I'm not surprised as im left handed, I think i may need to use more palm than finger when gripping.

Mini Forklift Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Good work! Nearly at a 100kg deadlift, that's pretty solid. How many reps did you get with the 95? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klaatu21 Posted February 1, 2013 Author Share Posted February 1, 2013 got the full five, i doubt i would have got a sixth, im all out when ever i train but there is literally no room for faiure with 100kg on the bar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klaatu21 Posted February 4, 2013 Author Share Posted February 4, 2013 04/02day 25 squats60kgbench-barbell row45kg5-4-3-5-5 was in serious beast mode with squats, dont know if its because i had a good stretch before or what but i sailed through, was amazing, but after last bench session i started to feel a pinch in my right shoulder and it came back today when i was benching the empty bar, i think i over pushed my self last time and ive annoyed my rotator cuff. so i didnt want to tempt fate so im leaving the bench be for a week or so whilst i strengthen my shoulders. rows were fine apart from i didnt manage to get contact between my abdomen and gar on a couple of reps, so let my ego take the hit instead of my form.

vegan_rossco Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 What kind of grip are using for the deads mate?? I and most others would agree that mixed grip will allow you to lift considerably more hope everythings good your end duder! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klaatu21 Posted February 6, 2013 Author Share Posted February 6, 2013 was mixed im afraid, wasnt actually my grip this time, just couldnt get it past my hips on the third rep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vegan_rossco Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 The chest seems to be the difficult muscle to grow for most people mate just keep at it Ahh okay probably a good call, I really admire your patience man if I'm honest I probably would just bench anyway All good here dude cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klaatu21 Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 im tempted but i know if i push it, and damage it more i may be out completely, and then id be super pissed with myself haha, so im biding my time to prevent future arguments with my self Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klaatu21 Posted February 10, 2013 Author Share Posted February 10, 2013 so now that the weather is finally improving im back out on my bike, which is a very good thing. but this was before i started lifting. so im worried how ill be able to get big miles under my belt and still gain muscle. i dont cycle hard just like to pootle along but for long distances so my hr doesnt get to high too often. i burn an average of 50ish calories a mile so if i go say 20 miles ill need to eat another 1000cal to make up the deficit, i understand carbs before hand will build up stores to burn when im cycling and protein after will heal muscle damage as normal, is this enough? on a side note i had a look at chris hoys training (as his lowerbody at least is fricking rediculous), he can leg press 631kg, thats just under 100 stone for gods sake.

mrbear666 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 chris hoy is also on the hot sauce! im sure youll be fine with the cycling as you dont do it intensely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klaatu21 Posted February 10, 2013 Author Share Posted February 10, 2013 boooo how can someone become a hero and then break your heart in one day, im planning on getting up to 2+hours a few times a week, would that affect muscle growth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbear666 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 haha, i had the same feeling with lance armstrong.........i think at a low intensity youll be fine, i cycle quite alot but as long as i do it slowly/low intensity it doesnt seem to affect weight training strength etc........ as soon as i start pushing it hard though i start to get really thin, lose muscle as well as fat!

klaatu21 Posted February 10, 2013 Author Share Posted February 10, 2013 definitely, hes the biggest ass hole in history, he made out hes all amazing by beating cancer, but the juice works just as well on cancer cells as muscle. do you eat/drink any more than non cycling days?

mrbear666 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 yeah i tend to eat alot on cycling days, i carry food with me, bannanas and jam sandwiches etc and just keep drip feeding the sugar! dying to go on my bike, but the weather is always crap here!
