[Leeroid]

Big deads! You would be good for 280ish now

[AZIDE]

im unsure about that. 250 is the most ive ever actually lifted for deads and the difference between 240x8, and 250x2 sets was huge in how heavy the bar felt. i know a lot of it was probably because i was fucked from the 240 set, but still im doubtful that i would get close to 280.

next time i do deads in a week or 2 (depending on how my back is going) im thinking going heavier with less volume before the heaviest set. and making my heaviest set 260. anyone got any ideas how to structure this?

was thinking something like:

180x5

220x5

240x3

260x?

but thats kind of a big jump from 240 to 260 in terms of difficulty for me, yet not really wanting to do too much volume...suggestions?

[Leeroid]

180 x3

220 x1

240 x1

260 x1

270 x1

280 x1

Try that

[AZIDE]

stopped dbol yesterday but got my BA and BB today so will be making up my tren and test tonight/tomorrow and hopefully strength just keeps increasing

[AZIDE]

mirin vials *man_in_love*

[AZIDE]

been pinning the stuff i made and im still alive. 

weighed 106kg today.

 

did only squats yesterday with very little rest between sets as didnt have much time. was working in with some random who was doing sets of 115 but for some reason had each 5kg weight inside the two 20's on each side and the 2.5 on outside. as below:

2.5-20-20-5------------bar------------5-20-20-2.5

 

so i just left the 5's there.

115x10

150x10

170x5

180x2

150x5

that was it. will definately be hitting legs much harder next session.

 

[AZIDE]

arms/bench

bench

100x10

140x8

160x3

closegrip bench

140x5+100x7

100x13

100x10

100x10

 

preacher curls (5 sets)

smith machine closegrip bench at end (2 sets)

took about 35min

[AZIDE]

did deads again today. had done them another time since i last logged going up to 240x6 but wasnt keen to push myself at all then as back hasnt been 100%.

deadlifts (with straps)

180x5

220x5

240x5

260x4

did shoulders today also

[AZIDE]

lifts over past few days (best sets):

bench 140x9 and 160x3

squat 180x4

deadlift 260x5

military press 90x6

 

thinking of having 5 days (doing a repeating 5 day split with no rest days) off the heavier shit (squats/deads and possibly bench) as back and elbows arent 100% 

[Dinahlady]

I've said it before - you need a proper periodised program if you want to make the most of your strength. You are strong for your height/weight/age/experience lifting.

Do yourself a favour and make the most of that by looking into some strength programs with periodised rest/recovery and weight increments and it will take you really far!
 
All this "try and lift as heavy as i can every week" is seriously <10% effective in comparison! 

You'll just repeatedly end up injured or not improving then lose motivation. 

Maybe try westside? Anyone else have suggestions?

I think what Azide has been doing is algood. Maybe if ur natty u might need a program but when ur enhanced, u can max out every week I reckon. Haven't u put like 40kgs on ur bench in the last year and like the same on the deadlift?

[Dinahlady]

I mainly mean for the injury aspect. To not go too fast to continually be getting bad sore or injured so can continue increasing. Smashing maxes without being able to keep decent form every week isn't condusive to staying injury free  

I've trained with him and I reckon he could be lifting way more if he built a decent solid base in the lifts and form and to be lifting from that rather than stretching limits every week or close to. Would definitely pay off in the long run injury wise and for amount of weight lifted, and could be really competetive if he wanted.  

Even having someone really decent (dunno who in dunedin) help him with form and get that solid as and second nature and focus on that for a while or even along side what he's doing would be infinitely beneficial. 

 

[AZIDE]

im not injured. im just backing off for a few days as i feel it will be beneficial. trying to get in decent volume so i do try push myself but im happy to back off for a short period to avoid injury.

im not training specifically for strength, and not trying to hit maxes every session either, and also not looking to compete in powerlifting.

but yes im sort of listening to you dinah. do appreciate your advice

 

and leeroid i think its 40kg on my dead but more like 20-30kg on my bench within the last year. happy with my progress and think ill add some more by the end of this year (hopefully) and hopefully some muscle too which is my primary focus atm

[rapz]

[Pseudonym]

No. It doesn't suffice. But it's a start.

also did curls ~10reps/set in between db bench. start heavy (apart from a warmup) and got ligther heaviest was 60kg+ ezi bar (think its 7 or 10kg) lightest 40kg + bar

[Pseudonym]

Great bench, mate. You're bloody strong for your size. Or do you have a barrel chest I can't see while you're lying down?

[HarryB]

 

 Wow that's awesome benching!! Nice work!!

[AZIDE]

im not that small (subjective). think about 105kg there and 6'0" arms 18"+...I look smaller from that angle i think?

 

and cheers guys. had a few days off the gym and missed lots of injections because of more important shit i had going on. back into it again tho. 

did chest/legs yesterday

got 170x2 again on bench so hopefully missing so many inj and trainings hasnt fucked me up too much
