Cheers man. 2 months in now, I'm feeling good 8)

Went for a solid run yesterday having not run for months, which was a bit silly. Legs today are shot to hell, so I compensated by doing a heavy deadlift session and squatted light at the end. I realise this isn't following the program, but blah blah, one day of light squats won't matter shit.

Was good to do deadlifts fresh for once, instead of after squats.

Deadlift: 60kgx8 warmup, 105kgx5, 110kgx1, 80kgx3

Was meant to be doing 105 today, which I got. Chalked up for the first time which may have helped. Decided to go for 110 just to see if I could...and I could

OH Press: 42kg x 4, 4, 5 (push press the last rep)

Back was wee bit fucked from DL and could barely stand up straight, OH press suffered a little, couldn't get full reps except the last set when I cheated.

Pull-ups (Palms away): BW+5kg 8, 6, 4

Even adding 5kg makes a big difference to these, felt good though.

Squats: 3x5 50kg

Nice work on the deadlifts. :clap:

How do you stand on the OHP? Feet parallel, or split/ lunge stance? I was suggested to try a split stance, which did seem to help stabilise back. Just my 2c worth.

My stance is parallel- about shoulder width I would say. One issue is that I have to clean the bar to my collarbone to start with, as I don't do it in a rack. Never thought about trying a split stance, though I may experiment next session and see how it feels. I definitely get the wobbles in my back sometimes, it was just more pronounced today because I usually do deadlifts after OH Press.

[rimma]

Benched my bodyweight+ today which is cool. Just finding one rep max for a laugh. Other than that progress is quite slow

Nice work 8)

[rose]

Haro? :-s

[rimma]

I got fat and lazy. the dream is over

[rose]

Eeek :shock: Come back to the dark side or you'll regret it later

What's your body weight at the moment?

[rimma]

Maybe 69kg? I'm still working out a couple of times a week, and still occasioanlly crack a PR etc. But boy all those pies are taking their toll :grin:

[rose]

So, 1kg to go by June. How's student life treating you? What're your lifts looking like? Nosey nosey heh :shifty: But you started this, you can't blame me for taking an interest! :grin:

P.S. What happened to the pic?

Curiousity killed the cat miss Rose.

...mind you, satisfaction brought it back.

Student life is hard. This is year 2 and things are stepping up...overloaded with assignments over Easter :roll:

Lifts are alright. I'm making some ground on the squat which is nice, just hitting 80kg now. Bench is coming along too, just over 60kg.

as for the pic... what pic? :wink:

Nice Do you think you'll stick with lifting, in some form or other?

what pic?

Must have been mistaken 8) I think I was looking at another thread, got confused etc :roll:

[rimma]

I should leave this to die...but I need to set some new goals and by putting them on the interweb it makes them fo' Real.

By end of 2010:

1. 75kg bodyweight (up 5kg)

2. Deadlift 150kg (up 35kg)

3. Squat 100kg (up 20kg)

4. Bench 80kg (up 10kg)

Bam

[rose]

I should leave this to die...

Nooo, only people like that dizzy cow Rose do that. Man she's annoying. Moo. Nice goals sir. If you carry on posting in your journal I promise not to post your pic? :grin:

lolwut? You don't have my pic fool

...do you? cos that would be weird.

[rose]

cos that would be weird.

Haha, yes I am weird. This scientifically poven fact was gleaned from controlled experiments. I saved a copy when you uploaded it. If that was actually you etc. Which it might not be. You could deny it. Update your journal! LOL

I'm fully joking OK?

[rimma]

haha I don't know what to think now. If you really do save people's progress photos to your PC... but no, I think you are just yanking my chain.

Your blackmail won't work anyway

I am not ashamed of that pic (much)... If you saw pictures from a few months ago then you would understand that it represents a lot of personal progress!

Oh and I forgot to add another goal: participate in NZBB challenge. More motivation the better!

[rose]

Dude, I didn't mean to imply it was anything to be ashamed of, quite the opposite, progress pix are good. Be proud. I saved it cos you looked hawt :wink: :grin:

I was only joking about the blackmail part...

oooo I wanna see the pic I missed it!

Are you still doing 5x5 Rimma?

[rimma]

ha ha ha, maybe rose will show you.

Nope I'm not doing five by five...but still just doing compounds (alternating workouts squat+bench and deads+pull-ups) with a couple of supplementary exercises.

Some days I do 3x5 and some days I do 3x10 fast and hard (dynamic?)

basically freestyling...which is stupid but meh.

I'm only in it for the shits and giggles anyway!

[rose]

Check your PM's Miss Vee :wink:

I picked up some new plates, 65kg total for $100, bargain! Time to to roadtest it:

Phwaw dips are hard, first time trying them. A real dip station would be handy too

...but that would make life too easy! :pfft:
