My Log: The Journey to 85Kg

[Growth]

Good to see you still got deadlifts in there, if your going to have a short workout you might as well do one of the big three huh.

[jono]

lol im natorious for workout out b4 exams when i should be studying :grin:

[Pseudonym]

I think it's probably a good thing. You'll be more alert and your study will be better if you do a workout first.

[Varven]

Good to keep working out . Even if If I have tests and stuff, I take a quick 30mins off and go for about 4 - 6 sets of the basic 3 lifts, at least you maintain gains.

Bit of Boxing just finish me off.

Bit of everything today, just felt like a lighter. higher rep w/o. i find the morning w/o harder as i dont usually eat as much as if it were in the avo or at night, not sure what i should do here, get up earlier and eat more or just eat a huge breaky real fast.

[Growth]

Solid effort mate, looks like its time to get off the shoulder press machine and into the bb's. 66 kilos for a shoulder press machines stack is pathetic.

[jono]

i agree 66 is nothing for a shoulder machine.. i think the one i my current gym is 100+ but ive never used it so i duno exactly

[deegee]

Good going mate but I am curiouse is your cable row 2 cables or one I have recently changed from one to the other but noticed unexpected results.

[Simo]

its one cable, what unexpected results did you find...

Yeh i usually do DB work for shoulders or smith machine, due to inbalances, i only did it here as it was free and pretty safe.

[Simo]

OK im back,

Ive been having major technical difficulties in the last 10 days or so.

I cant even remember what ive been doing at the gym, but i remember getting pinned doing squats at 90kg, but managed to do 100kg for 6 reps in the end. Yeehaa

great work. getting pinned a few times will make you a mean and remove all fear from the squats.

[deegee]

good work on hitting 100kgs and getting 6 reps out too.

[jono]

nice work man. with regards to your new pics. (with me anway, i make gains in the weights then a bit later the size comes on) so just keep eating and training hard and you will certainly grow :grin:

[Simo]

cheers man, yeh i got to eat better stuff, too many pies and beers, stuff that isnt really helping. but yeh i weighed myself and i was 76kg today, so i havent gained any weight really, back and forward i think. got another half marathon so i been trainging a bit for that.

[Growth]

Hey mate, looks like your going from strength to strength. I would say your training for, and competing in, the marathon would be affecting your gains.

[sponge]

can't you guys post your deadlifts in pounds its so much easier

[Growth]

lol are you from america of something mate?

[sponge]

no

[Growth]

Must be that the weights are all labeled in pounds then at your gym right?

[sponge]

no

must be from years of converting all my weights to lbs in my journals
