klaatu21 Posted February 10, 2013 Author Share Posted February 10, 2013 Yea gears are cheating, I treated my self to a no logo one, was about £300 before I stated customising, but I'd love a bianchi, some hills around here are a bitch but ive clocked up 40+mph on the way down before so it has it's benefits, it's not too bad, got a bench day tomorrow so I'm gonna start light and stop if I feel anything bad.

klaatu21 Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 (edited) 11/02day 27 squat65kgbench-row30kg squats felt amazing, i felt like i had so much power still unused, still off benching just whilst my shoulder recovers and I've taken my row weight down again because i was jolting the weight up and have been for a while so I'm trying to lift heavier than i can, if i don't manage to make contact between my body and the bar, I'm going to class it as a failed rep. was also weigh in day and according to the scales at the gym, i the last two weeks I've lost 3kg of muscle and gained 5kg of fat, this is obviously majorly wrong. not a very good days training at all.

Mini Forklift Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Keep up the good work mate, don't get too hung up on what the scale tells you. Hope you had a great weekend and your week is going well MF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klaatu21 Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 Oh I didn't believe it, was just a little disheartening to see, the weight on the bar is the one I'm concerned with, and that's only going in one direction, up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klaatu21 Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 13/02day 28 squat67.5kgpress30kgdeadlift 100kg1 squats were amazing again, im only going just below parallel now as the weight is getting heavyer, but im feeling it more on the inside of my thighs, my abductors i think, is this normal, is also the reason i couldnt complete my deads, really chuffed with my presses, best ive ever done:) and the scales must have been wrong on monday because ive now apparantly lost 1kg of fat and gained 2.8kg of muscle, dont know if this is completely accurate, just happy that theyre both going in the right direction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klaatu21 Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 I'm up to 47.5, managed 5x5 0f 45, what would you recommend i do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegan_rossco Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I would say continue on with 47.5kg matey, all that resting could have been beneficial to your strength, was 45 fairly easy or did you scrape through it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klaatu21 Posted February 16, 2013 Author Share Posted February 16, 2013 16/7day 29 squat70kgbench42.5row35kg i don't know whats changed lately with my squats but they're so incredibly strong recently, finally back on the bench, the programme said to dial it back so i did, but was still solid lifts and only a slight discomfort in my shoulder and I've dialled it back on the rows to concentrate on form, I'm keeping my torso parallel to the floor and only counting a rep if the bar comes in contact with my body. on the whole I'm really happy with today.

Mini Forklift Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Sounds like you could be a little overtrained. Take an extra rest day or two, keep your water intake up and increase your daily calories a little and see if that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klaatu21 Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 20/02day 31 squats75kgbench45kgrow37.5 kg everything today felt really solid, inner thighs feel bit better, bench was really good, i thought my right shoulder was feeling week after the first rep and i then realised it was lifting an extra 5kg haha rows were amazing, keeping my torso stock still and upping the tempo a little is really making a difference. on a side note i think i know why ive been struggling on deads, and why my inner thighs feel over trained, my deads were way too heavy on the legs and not the back, more like a squat. im going to de load to about 60kg and clean up my form, might deload on squats for a week too, just to let my legs have a break, see what that does.
