Monday
Back spasms yesterday afternoon and this morning were a bit of as red flag (who knew squatting 900+ might cause a problem lol - see also neck issue below). Still once I took (found 2 Naproxen 250mg and 2 Gabapentin 300mg) 1 x 250 Nap it felt a LOT better. So off to Powerhouse. Had I had ANY issues I'd have been right back.

I also, over the weekend, set myself a new personal challenge (as they are all personal now) of Hatfield Squatting 500lbs or so x 25 reps a la Tom Platz's feat. So...

Hatfield Squat to bench as usual
bar x 20 reps, 100kg x 20 reps, 160kg/352lbs x 15 reps and 230kg/506lbs x 12 reps. The plan will be to add 1-2 reps per session. Apart from not being used to the rep range the only issue was where the bar and pads sat as the left hand side of my neck must have been compressed since last Mondays's 390 and 410kg and it HURT.

Leg Press
Stayed light., Went deeper than usual and this included a lower foot position
80kg x 20 reps, 160kg x 20 reps and 240kg x 15 reps

Seated Leg Curl
Cos why not
8p x 20 reps, 15p x 20 reps and 20p (stack) x 15 reps

Leg Extensions
7p x 20 reps, 15p x 20 reps and stack (20p)x 20 reps

Sounds like some really good sessions. Pain in the ass dealing with equipment but obviously important it is sitting properly. Especially with the amount of weight you are lifting. Hopefully that elbow feels better quick.

Friday
Feeling a little more energetic today
Spotted Landon J and a few members (inc female member Sam et al) had a go at my Saxon bar between sets. Gym owners birthday so energy in gym was up

Iso Bench Press
I start from dead stop position (great pec stretch) - no spot too. 40 rep warm up, 40kg a side x 8 reps, 60kg x 8 reps, 87.5kg/192.5lbs a side x 6 reps (90kg x 4-6 next week and visualizing 5 plates a side soon)

Lat Pulldowns
1/3rd stack x 20 reps, 2/3rd stack x 20 reps, 20p (all bar 1 p) x 20 reps

One Handed Saxon Bar work (towards 120kg/264lbs dumbbell strength)
Bar/12.5kg x 3 reps throwing and catching between hands, 32.5kg x 3 reps, 42.5kg/95lbs x too much. Dropped to 37.5kg/82.5lbs x 4-5 x 1 reps each
I used my free hand index finger pressed against an outside plate on the opposite side to the working hand to stabilize the set up. I suspect I need to work to 60kg or more one handed (52.5kg is best to date)
 
Top Bottom
