Wookie method


GyzzBrah

Recommended Posts

Havent posted in ages. Because we are all about honesty here, its because I havent been lifting. Pathetic time management at my path, leaving exam study to the night before and spending the rest of the time doing f*ck all. It is what it is, and Im not gonna make any excuses for it.

But that is all over now and I have lots of time, not that I didnt have any before.

 

Gonna set myself some goals, and hold myself accountable for them. Im also going to listen to what others have been telling me and take advice on board.

  • Get back to 85kg's
  • Turn up to every gym session that I need to do for the week
  • Keep track of the foods I am eating and hit macros (I will post diet here most of the time)
  • Complete an entire training cycle in full

Current weight = 79Kg's

Fucking horrible incident in gym today. The 20's were all being used so warmed up with the bar then put on the 25's then put on 10's.

Was supposed to be an easy 80 x 1, but benched 90 by accident and was so embarassing.

At first I was like no fucking way I could fail 80, that would mean I was regressing in my training, then realised the mistake and was like lol.

 

On the good side I know what trying to bench 90 feels like, so now I can keep that in mind when Im training and that can be my new goal for next few weeks.

 

Just did dumbel bench lat pulldowns etc 3 x 12 each.

What do you mean "etc" after preacher curls when you specified reps and sets ?

Chest press 3 x 8 (will do dumbells again when forearm gets better)

how do you think you strained forearm?

i would say use straps if you need to bro if you are gripping a slippery bar too hard or doing something weird.

Well if you look at my lift numbers I was doing 150 deadlift a while back then lost a bit of strength then got back to doing 150 again so probably just tension or something like that. Will be all good in couple days I reckon. Nothing too serious.

Pretty sure week 3 was speed squats but looked at the PDF file apparently not

 

Squats doing these for ages felt really good to do a solid albeit weak leg workout

100 x 1 (could do these for reps ago)

80; 3 x 5. light weight but good depth and form felt good

 

Leg Press

3.5pps for 3 x 12

 

Leg extension

3 x 12

 

Seated Row

3 x 15 67kg

yoo pretty decent deadlift session today. Wookie has me carry on with these through max out week then deload, so the idea is I max out deadlifts at week 1 of every training cycle, when I feel fresh and recovered, since deadlifts are generally more dependent on mood / fatigue.

 

w4 d2

 

Deadlifts

 

150 x 3

130 x 3, 3, 3

100 for 4 x 3

 

Seated Rows

75 for 3 x 10
