PETN Posted April 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 Trained arms last night. Started doing some benching but elbows were fucking sore on warmup sets so just did arms, bis mostly and no close grip bench. By that stage elbows were already fucked and doing even db curls hurt on left side elbow. Bench 100x7 140x5 162.5x4 Db curls 22.5x7 25x7 27.5x7 30x7 (first reps real sore left elbow ) Some other shit. Nothing heavy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PETN Posted April 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 Was going to go gym tonight but then got home and cbf. Quite sore lots of places anyway.

PETN Posted April 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 Deads 160x5 200x5 240x3 270x5 Program said do 270x5 or 290x3. Back been sore whole day at work so opted for lighter sets. Was pretty easy slow reps. Slow coz got new belt which is 13mm thick twin prong style. So yeah feels fucking stiff and awkward getting low in it. Might save it just for squats anyway as dont really need belt for deads and might just use the old shitty one still as it gives me adequate support as need f*ck all and it doesnt hinder my mobility. In 2 weeks gotta do 280x5 or 297.5x3. Gonna be shit i assume but gotta trust the program Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonna be shit i assume but gotta trust the program id def recommend using the older softer belt for deadlifts. sounds like thats what a lot of people do when they have that problem. thick stiff belt for squat, thinner softer belt for dead/bench.

PETN Posted April 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 Bench 100x7 150x5 160x5 160x5 160x5 160x5 160x5 Db bench 70x7 70x5 65x6 65x6 65x6 65x5 Incline db bench 60x6 60x5 60x5 Volume week. Program said to do multiple sets of 160x5 on bench. Dunno what supposed to do if i only got 4 reps on first set or got one set of 5 reps or whatever. Just gotta trust in the program and do what it says and not bother my coach 'with retard or faggot shit' as per his instruction. Heres program for week i just did plus week i just started with above benching. Im doing it bench, squat, dead order. manlet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PETN Posted April 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 Not training related. My gf has a pet turtle. She went away for few weeks to nz for some bs and left me to look after turtle. Its food is some frozen mince type shit that comes in cubes. Her instructions were "feed it one cube per day". Anyway i can't be fucked feeding it every day so feed it 7 cubes every 7 days. (7 cubes)/(7 days) = 1 cube/day Anyway she comes back from trip and asks when i last fed turtle so i told her 5 days ago. So she gets upset etc and turns into huge argument with her saying turtle look skinnier (obviously bs as it has a shell so cant even tell its bodyfat %) and her getting mad at me for saying its IF. Ended up getting frustrated and punched nearest thing which was her car on upper quarter panel bit (hatchback car) hard so now my hand has white paint imprint on it and missing skin and hurts a bit and her cars caved in with pretty substantial dent. Basically I know im right as she specifically said "one cube per day" which is an non specific rate not "feed him one cube every day" which is specific amount and specific timeframe. Anyone else have to deal with this type of shit? Should i bother helping fix her car? Is there any easier way to explain to her that i was right?

PETN Posted April 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 Trained arms today. Did 150x5 on closegrip bench. My closegrip is actually close, like 2 hand-spans apart roughly, not like wookies for example which is wider and more like my standard bench. Anyway havent done it for while til today and decided to drop it after that shit set. Had to stop at 5 reps because shoulders and elbows were hurting like f*ck. Did few more sets of 100kgx15 etc but still making elbow sore so not doing it anymore at all til after comp perhaps. Was only matter of time before have shoulder blowout on it anyway. Just did curls and shit. Was good pump. Hopefully dont have sore joints from today next time i bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundsgood Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 I used to close grip like that and had countless elbow and wrist issues. Moved hands out a full hand space (still much closer than regular grip) and learnt that close grip bench is as much as about the movement of tucking triceps in and pumping through the movement as it is hand spacing. Now I get epic tricep pumps without the pain. PETN 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently bringing my normal bench grip out a bit too as i reckon ill be stronger a bit wider, plus a bit easier on joints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah thats the plan bro. Plus doing.fair bit of db benching to bring chest strength up a bit hopefully. Im still quite a bit inside rings on comp bar but last session was a lot better than i expected and im getting wider slowly. Wont go past rings though i dont think.

PETN Posted April 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 Oh and for a single or low reps i notice no real strength difference. Touch and go reps though im a lot faster with closer grip so tend to get more reps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
