My Training Journal

thanks bro, Ill be doing my best to beat it.

Like I said I decided to have a cheat meal this evening to celebrate my exams being over. Just ate at home with the family but got a chinese takeaway, chips from the fish+chip shop and some nice desserts.

Already ate 3000+ calories in about 30mins, its hard to breathe right now haha. Just ate a tonne of chinese sweet and sour chicken with fried rice, then made a couple of sandwiches out of chips, chinese rice, chinese noodles etc. Then ate nearly the whole box of Tiramasu which is over 1000kcal alone.

also had coke with it... but dont worry it was diet coke, wouldnt want to rot my pearly whites

Tomorrow's training session should be interesting...

nice man haha I've been home from college for summer for a good 3 weeks and I'm eating so much more I literally cant get enough food most of the time. So wait are you going on summer break then or do you have more school? I really hope you get above 242 on bench that would be so awesome right before the big 17!

 

[ExtraMile]

Nope no summer break, back to school for now.

Had a severe headache all day today that got worse as the day progressed. Got home from school and slept for about 3 hours. Woke up and ate minced turkey with veg and an apple, took some painkillers and went to the gym.

Just got the bare minimum done today:

Benchpress
worked up to 209x5 for two sets

Military
empty bar x reps
94 x 14

Flat DB Presses
3 sets of 8 w/ 55's
- short rest periods

*in and out in 30mins
*still having stability issues on the bench

 

[Tblock1]

well with 209x5 for two sets on a crappy day I think you got 242+ without a problem man!

As for the stability issues on bench I think that is holding me back a bit too....I'm going to try some static holds

 

[ExtraMile]

I can't keep it tight and stable enough to trace the same path with the bar on each rep. It always wants to tip back or drop forwards too much so all the reps end up being crappy. This could be what is causing my shoulders to get a little aggrivated by benching...

hope you enjoyed your cheat meal nice job man... all things considered, 209x5 for 2 sets is real good
