Crunches: Sets of 20 and 10 for a total of 100

Upper back, shoulders, scapula area and traps are absolutely blasted from heavy push pressing yesterday. New favourite exercise!

Missed two workouts earlier this week due to being busy as with assignments. Today was pretty good though, strength is still on the rise. Should be good for a 95kg bench soon by the way things are going, 100kg by the end of year easy. :pray: hope so anyway!

Shoulder pains? That's what I get from time to time.

[rimma]

Yeah shoulder pains. Not like DOMS but sharp 'not the good kind' of pain. But they are feeling much better now than they ever have before which is good.

[Shutupandsquat]

Yeah, I know the exact feeling. It definitely gets better with time. It's better to start off with unweighted dips to get the technique down and once that's good you're away. Good that it's getting better though.

Ah thanks bro that makes a lot of sense actually. I pretty much started doing weighted dips as soon as I could do five BW reps or so. Lately switched back to bodyweight and it feels much better. I will reintroduce weight once I can get maybe 15-20 easy bodyweight reps.

Yeah that's good. I find I get a better pump as well with the higher reps on dips. Good luck in reaching that!

Good on ya for carrying on anyway. I find when I'm mentally drained my workouts can sometimes suffer a little.

On a side note.. I'm jealous of your deadlift and front squat PRs! Keep up the good work :twisted:

[rimma]

Optimistic goals for 2011 (better late than never).

...

5. Bodyweight pressed overhead

(current best 65kg, 0.9x BW)

Can tick this goal off today (75kg push press) \:D/ Pretty stoked, got it first pop too. Not exactly impressive but its a good milestone for me.

Rest of the workout was average, low volume and did very little generally. Handed in the last two big uni assignments today so time to get serious!

Cheers poos, its defintiely the mental more than the physical that gets me. Good to see you posting, hope your training is going well!

Thanks mate I appreciate the encouragement 8)

Seems like just when I am on a roll life conspires against me. Getting sick as a dog, tried to some deadlifts and couldn't lift shit. No appetite at all....

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUU :evil:

[Dontrunwithknives]

Today was pretty good though, strength is still on the rise. Should be good for a 95kg bench soon by the way things are going, 100kg by the end of year easy. :pray: hope so anyway!

Damn man, I think I need to up my workout intensity and start lifting heavier weight. I'm still struggling to consistently hit 90kg bench. I will post up a video in the playground later so you can have a laugh at my latest attempt :shifty:

haha don't worry bro I only hit 90kg once so far on a test day type thing. Race you to 100kg! 8)

The sickness turned into a chest infection, possibly bronchitis. Couldn't see a doctor because of Queens birthday yesterday so f*ck it. I felt better today anyway, just coughing up huge lumps and generally a bit under the weather.

Dying to get back into the gym after such a frustrating last couple of weeks.

Did some bodyweight stuff today and it went well which was encouraging. :nod: Took it nice and easy.

Fess up, you know you did it for the laaaaaadiiieeeesss :pfft:

Coughing up lumps doesn't sound good mate :shock: Get better soon.

[rimma]

Did a few sets of bench today but felt very weak. Will do some token squats tomorrow, then write off this micro cycle as a un-planned deload and start again. BW is also down about 1.5kg having had no appetite the last few days.

[rimma]

5 sets of 10 chins = great back time!!

nice!

10 sets of 5, not 5 sets of 10, but thanks anyway Mike! :pfft: I am capable of 5x10 on a good day but just taking it easy for now.

Fess up, you know you did it for the laaaaaadiiieeeesss :pfft:

Coughing up lumps doesn't sound good mate :shock: Get better soon.

Hahaha guilty as charged! :grin: nahh my arms are pretty tiny so occasionally I do some half-assed curls... but really I hate curls.

Oh and the lumps are smaller now, though more vibrantly coloured
