Genetic Gimp Journal

[genetic freek]

Looks like you need to have a journal to be in with the cool crew so here I am.

About me:

182cm Tall

Weight (Today) 112kg

Would love to tell you what I am training for but I don't really know myself. I am really a bber but have been doing a bit of strenth training latley and some strongman events for fun. I have a great training partner who is a top NZ bodybuilder and has a done a few strongman comps in his time too.

I am currently training at eastside barbell club with the likes of Nurse squat, Mikezero and Luigi.

Anyways trained back yesterday.

What does the iniation involve?

Your not going to make me squat nude like you made Luigi the other day. That was too far man. How about 12000 calories in a day for iniation?

[Dr Squat]

Our standard Eastside initiation is bench pressing your bodyweight as many times as you can and then running 5 km. There is a similiar event at the Arnold Classic.

We have decided to give you a bit more time to work on your bench press bro. :nod:

Wednesday

Just crusing today.

Cleans from knee hight with the axle bar.

10x20kg

10x40kg

10x60kg

8x70kg

6x70kg dropset 6x60kg

6x50kg

This bar is very fat. I am not sure of exact dimentions but i can just get my hand around it. It has no nailing in it and is powder coated, very hard to hold.

Side laterals superset with rear laterals

3x 12x15kg

Cable bicep curls

I did 5 sets adding two plates at a time (not sure of the weight on this machine)

Seated dumbell curls

12x15kg

12x17kg

Rack pulls (knee cap hight) with... axle bar

6x100kg

6x140kg

4x180kg

2x220kg

1x240kg

8x180kg

These are insanly hard to grip, using chalk makes it harder as it just slips on the powder coat. Happy to hold onto 240kg I would say I am at least 100kg weaker using this bar.

In three weeks time I have been challenged to lift 300kg for a deadlift by one of the guys at the club. At this point we are similar strenth in deads so will be interesting to see who can get it up. Plan is to keep reps for deads above 6. I feel this will build strenth for them better than reps of 2 or 4.

[Dr Squat]

The 300kg deadlift club at Eastside could be getting a bit crowded. Maybe we need a special edition t-shirt.

What's the axle bar like to train with?

[genetic freek]

What's the axle bar like to train with?

Goes ok, bit slipery. Puts the weight in a diferent spot. Bit more glute...Imo harder

Could do the bench but he would never make the 5km run.

Dr Squat, would you stop recruiting members for your club from my gym, ther's only a couple of small boys left me & BigMD :pfft:

[Luigi]
