Acquiring bulk!

[jimmybro1]

Good to meet you guys too.

Have CAPO published those numbers, or do you just have a phenomenal memory?

Thats all just from memory ! 

I may have got some of those numbers wrong. 

[Leeroid]

Darren got 280/205/310 and Reds last pull was 262.5

Sunday Night 

Squats & Deadlifts

Squats 160x1x4 (paused), 180x1x3 (paused), 200x1x1, 200x1x2, 140x1x17

Deadlifts 140x5x8 

Was definitely feeling like rubbish both hungover and tried as, when getting into the working sets was sweating like crazy and had a massive headache. Attempted 200x2 but failed the second rep mid way up and dumped the bar. Came back and had a second attempt and nailed it. Whole body was shaking like crazy and legs felt like jelly. Sat down for a few minutes then decided to do 140 until I was gased. Around the 12th rep was gasping for air. This pretty much put the nail in the cofin and I was wrecked. 

Since I'm heading off my a fortnight for work and won't beable to train decided to do deadlifts also, didn't work out to well as absolutely shattered. 

Went home ate some Subway and attempted to sleep was still shaking throughout the night and couldn't get to sleep until around mid night then woke up at 5am to train again today LOL. 

Monday

Bench Press 100x1x8, 110x3x6, 100x1x8 (all paused)

Welcome to the selfie crew

[Pseudonym]

Hotel bathrooms have the best lighting, eh, Jimmy?!

Pasty, perhaps - but hardly skinny!  You're looking good, bro. I've been meaning to get some selfies up too. Perhaps in the next couple of days.

Haha definitely, but when your as white as me you get washed out easily. 

Cheers mate, this was after not training, sleeping or eating well for a fortnight. Slowly getting back to it now. Prehaps a transformation selfie haha. 

[Pseudonym]

Good! You know transformation pics tend to win prizes. Are you shredding for summer?

[Pseudonym]

Dude, that hotel bathroom didn't do you justice! You're actually pretty lean.

Being counting calories again for a fortnight now, making slow changes. 

Yesterday I was crushed by a large forklift truck luckily no major damage. I was having some crates of plate heatexchangers moved into a storage shipping container on site and the operator collided into a steel shelf sending it towards me and pinning me at the hips between the shipping containers inner wall the the self. Luckily I could signal to the operator to stop before he crushed my hips was a close call though. Just got some brusing at the hips and a bit of inflammation. So no squats for a few days.

Not sure what plans are in terms of completing again just trying to get back into routine and other shit is messing it up too. Squats felt terrible, everything felt heavy.

Trained at Les Mills on Victoria St place was packed with people with wicked songs like One Direction and Bieber blasting in the background. majority of the people were dressed for the occasion in there jeans and flashy gold screen print shirts and hats rotated to the ultimate angle of swag. All the place was missing was a smoke machine and a strobe light and you would have yourself a night club. 

Apparently you get so much pump when you train there you have to walk around like you are continuously carrying buckets, not to mention making as much noise during sets as possible how else are your brahs going to know your half repping the 30s. 

Other than that gym wasn't to bad reasonable equipment I guess. 

Anywho selfie update, back on that bulk. 

[Spacebound]

phaggots guna phaggot.

hope you wore youre matching fitwear costume for the occasion. 

[Pseudonym]

Hahaha! I hear ya!

Les Mills Britomart is much better, IMO. It's still a bit shiny, but people are generally more casual. And we still get to enjoy the same music.

[Leeroid]

I think there's a Victoria st les mills in both hamilton and auckland. Pretty sure jimmy is talking about the hamilton one and not auckland lol.

Shame that u went when the superstar azeus is in aussie

Squats 100x1x5, 140x1x5, 160x1x3, 180x1x1, 200x1x1, 220x1x0 

Hack Squats 2ppsx1x12, 3ppsx3x10, 2ppsx1x14

Laying Hamstring Curls 4 sets of 12 

Needing to re-approach my old routine on squats training with my brother tend to max every session not the best for recover. 

Form was also rather ugly. Feeling sore all over, the 220 attempt seems to have re-injuried my below. 

Friday - Shoulders

OHP 40x1x12, 60x6x10

Laterial 16x5x12

Rear delt flies 12.5x5x12

OHP felt good, elbow still sore should have taken day off for recovery but didn't. 

Saturday - Squats and Deads

Squats 100x1x10, 140x1x5, 160x5x5 (paused)

Deadlifts 70x1x12, 110x1x10, 150x5x6 

Split squats 3 sets of 12

Lat pull down 4 sets of 12

Single arm cable row 3 sets of 10

Wore elbow compression cuff for squats and deadlifts pain was still radiating down arm. 

Squats felt good tight and fast. 

Sunday - Bench and Shoulders 

Bench 60x1x12, 80x1x10, 100x1x5, 120x4x3, 100x2x8 (elbow was sore as at this point)

Incline dumbell 36x4x12 

OHP 60x4x8 

Laterial 4 sets of 10

Rear delt 4 sets of 12

Elbow had become really bad during the sets at 120, felt good during the warmup as I had a heat pack of my most of the day. 

Sunday night was spent on the couch using the cold/hot therapy to try and speed up recovery as much as possible. Woke up this morning and elbow as still sore. Going to train back tonight and try to take it easy followed by more hot/cold therapy tonight. Its worked wonders on my lower back before hopefully follows suit on my elbow.
