jimmybro1 Posted March 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Bench 120x6x6 Incline DB 40x4x12 Gym was to busy took ages to get a bench so couldn't be bothered waiting around to do accessories. Made some good progress on bench considering last time we had forum 5 rep max challenge only got 5 at 120 now smashing out paused sets of 6!

jimmybro1 Posted March 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Are you using your wraps?You mean elbow sleeves? If so yeah I used them for a few sets, when elbows started to hurt. Think around 4th set I put them on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmybro1 Posted March 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 blood test results in: FSH 7.7 U/L Testosterone 12.6 nmol/L LH 9.5 U/L DHEA 8.8 umol/LFrom my understanding hormone production and sperm production androgens look healthy (upper end of range) but Testosterone levels low? Not sure what DHEA levels mean they are lower end of range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudonym Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 So was this the test taken at the end of Jan? Seems like a long time to wait for results if so. Or was this another test? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmybro1 Posted March 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 Saturday Squats 60x1x5, 100x1x5, 140x1x5, 160x1x1, 180x1x5, 200x2x2 Front squats 60x5x12 Stiff leg deadlift 70x1x16, 90x5x12Leg extensions 2x20 Working sets of 200kg felt quite heavy on the back, first rep of each set and smooth but both second reps were grinders. I'm going to put it down to the man flu as a week ago I got four easy reps at 200. Registered for the Waikato GPC meet just trying to workout what I'm going to open on. Haven't deadlifted for months so will probably just do a bit of a token lift for that squat and bench will be the two lifts I'm looking to improve significantly from previous meets. Working longer days now and 6 days a week. I'm working right this moment that I am typing this..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmybro1 Posted March 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 FridayBench 60x1x10, 80x1x10, 100x1x10, 120x5x5Dumbell Incline 38x4x12Machine Flies 4x12Tricep extension 4x16 Saturday Rest SundaySquats 60x1x5, 100x1x5, 140x1x3, 180x1x3, 195x1x1 (All paused, beltless)Leg press 4ppsx4x20 Deadlifts 150x4x4 (double over hand, beltless) Tried squatting without a belt managed to get 195kg for a paused squat which is a personal best. This Saturday heading out to Te Ahora to play around with openers and see whether I want to compete in wraps or not at Waikatos. After this meet going to take a couple months off powerlifting, body is beat to f*ck and needs a rest. Neck and lower back always tight, stiff and sore. Will go back to more volume training for a bit then traveling for a couple months over in Europe so probably won't be training over there just partying it up. Should be wicked though. Doing a 16 day Contikki will 14 days either side of it. Going to visit Belgium, Netherlands (Amsterdam), Prague, Germany, Hungry, Italy, Spain and Switzerland. Wanted to also visit Norway but will probably run out of time and its expensive as f*ck. Will be heading over towards the end of their summer (september). Been doing some crazy hours on site so this is all the training I have been able to do this week. ngapuhi strong 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmybro1 Posted April 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 Good Friday Tested openers for squat (220) and bench (135) for GPC Waikatos Also here is a video from the rear. It looks like the bar isn't sitting parallel to my traps. When I was walking out would keep hitting the sides of the squat rack. Squat sets were : 60x1x10, 100x1x5, 140x1x3, 160x1x1, 180x1x1, 200x1x1 (wraps added), 220x3x1 Bench: 60x1x10, 80x1x5, 100x1x5, 120x1x3, 130x1x1, 135x3x1 reddog 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmybro1 Posted April 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 Saturday Lat pull downs 5x16Seated horizontal row 4x14Seated horizontal row variation 3x16Seated dumbbell press 32x4x12Lateral raises 14x5x14Face pulls 5x16 Used mostly machines more of a pump/active recovery type of workout. Didn't want to load lower back at all, trying to stretch out the tightness of one side of my spinal erectors. Doing a bit of trigger point relief seems to be doing the trick and improving mobility. After the squat and bench session on Good Friday feeling pretty good not particular sore or anything just some tightness in my lower back but that has always been there. Haven't been able to keep up with the stretching I use to do due to work. Going to try manage my work load a bit better this week going into the competition working long days can take the motivation out of training. All going good should get a 240kg squat at this meet which would be a massive person best. Considering I plan on opening with 220 which would be a 15kg meet pr alone! Not sure what I am weighing at the moment. Don't really like to weigh myself to much as the number is always either to low or to high and influences my dieting decisions to much.

jimmybro1 Posted April 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Easter Monday Bench press 60x1x10, 80x3x7 Triceps extension 5x16 Ab swings 4x16 Doing Ab swings seemed to have aggregated something in my lower back. Icing right now as I type this. Hoping nothing that is going to affect me on the weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmybro1 Posted April 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Been stretching my back out throughout the day and its seems to have only aggravated the situation. Its painful to even walk at the moment. Going to the physio later today and tomorrow pain to much to deal with at work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
