Rack pulls today!!!!

60kg 20

100kg 20

180kg 20

220kg 10

260kg 10

220kg 10

180kg 20

Did some other exercises for calves, abs and back as well... not gonna log them.

Was almost too easy. Reps came up nice and went down and touched the rack evenly. I could have got another 5 maybe on 260kg but my grip let me down.

Back to my usual routine next week.. 2 workouts one day, next day off, repeat... will do that for a couple of weeks again then have a break for a week like this again.

Nice work on the racks bro! 8)

Cheers! I had 300 on the bar after that set with 260... the bar didn't look too happy... and all I could think about was your eye all bloodshot... left that one for another week. lol

shit, at first I thought you just did 6 reps of 140kgs, was in disbelief to see you do that weighing 86kgs.

I'll try to do 8 reps with 140kg before Dec 12.... what you saw was just a warm up. :)

I've done 12-15 reps with 140... at 81kg. :D

I was 81kg three years ago when I won this:

post-9322-14166823573339_thumb.png I did a first lift of 145kg then went to 165kg but failed at that... I did manage to get it half the way up but the 2 second pause at the bottom zapped too much strength. I didn't do any powerlifting training going into the comp so I had no idea what I could do with a proper pause.

Back then I could confidently do 160kg for a few reps, normal bodybuilding style without a pause, no spotters needed in sight...

Early this year I fucked my AC joint up with heavy dumbbells doing Branch Warren type presses - been holding me back ever since. So depressing!

I think placemakers are looking to hire some people IDW, they used to be outsourced to datacom but it seems like they're going inhouse now

cheers mate! damn that's a big contract for them to loosing! I'll look into that tip. :)

they'll be alright, they look after all of fletcher building's companies (and there are quite a few number of companies under the fletcher umberlla) managed switches + a big number of servers (anything from a moss server/JDE servers/to the main FB firewall) not to mention the hardware/software procurement is done through them (they just order it from companies such as pb technologies through a 5 star account and then charge on top of it lol) , it doesn't seem to be on fbcareers...I'll call some people on Monday and check if it's still advertised on the internal board...

btw didn't know your weight was only 85 and doing those lifts...strong unit bro

Or did you go straight from 1 to 4? hahaha

I'm gonna kick your arse, Shutupandsquat! :D

Yeah... I think it was 1...2...3...4...7...8

Sorry bro hahaha.

Maybe try 125 for 8 next time? Those first 6 didn't look like much of a struggle

Yea, I'll stick to around that, probably do another video tomorrow.. haven't gone heavy for so long, not really too confident on flat bench anymore to be honest. Still want to do 140 for 8 before this comp closes though.

Trained with TLAF, SG, and Android today.

Luckily I had someone to count for me.

Did 140kg on Squats

8 reps I'm told for the first set

5 reps on the second... my Quad injury made me stop. If only I didn't have shit like that holding me back. Oh well, need to do a few weeks of lower weight Squats I think.

Then I did a couple of sets of about 20 reps with 100kg... wasn't able to go all the way down due to my damn Quad problem... still did about 90% down.

Then we went over to Hack Squats

I worked up to 4 plates per side and did 4 reps, held back a bit due to my Quad... Android the bastard got 8 reps... so, I should have pushed for more! lol

Did a few sets of 8-12 with 3 plates

Then we shifted over to Leg Extensions

I worked up to close to full stack and did one set of about 8 reps with 275lbs.

I then put the full stack on and turned the knob on the machine and added another 15lbs... but my Quads were fried.. it didn't move. Then did half-stack for 20 reps (according to my counting so who knows).

Android The Natural then called it a day and went home and left us hardcore fellas to continue, so we did a Superset of Seated Calf Raises with Seated Hamstring Curls.

On Seated Hamstring Curls I worked up the stack to 68 (or was it 78kg? can't remember) and did about 10 reps... then I did a drop set down to 48, then 32. After this I did a few more sets of 48kgs if I remember correctly.

On Seated Calf Raises I did a few sets with 2.5 plates. About 8-15 reps per set... didn't worry about the number of reps I just focused on my calves and made sure they got a good working.

At this point I called it a day, and left SG and TLAF - the hardcore fellas that they are - to continue with Hamstrings... they went on to do SLDL with dumbbells. I had to get home because my brothers came up to see me today, but I wasn't here ... so they went to the movies. And they're not here yet... could have stayed and trained some more! Ah well. Damn, they should tell me when they're coming up!

Was really good meeting SG and TLAF today and I enjoyed the train (apart from being held back a lot by my damn Quad tear!). SG is a damn monster, really worked hard on his Squats today. Go hard bro! Great meeting TLAF too, he's got some pretty good hunger to get bigger... once all the pieces start coming together he'll get there. :-)

It definitely felt like a less than maintenance train, though... just can't hit my Quads hard enough with the heavy weight with this injury. I WILL GO LIGHT FOR A FEW WEEKS AND LET THIS HEAL! (I hope)
