Shitty overhead press workout yesterday, found out that a distant friend hung himself on Sunday :shock:

Cant really blame the shit workout on that but hey why not.

Hopefully doing deadlifts today with my buddy

[rimma]

Deadlifts this afternoon went very well. Deviated from the 5/3/1 slightly to try out some heavy singles again which was cool. Have no lifting belt but I might buy one for heavy deads, yes/no?

50kg x 5

80kg x 5

100kg x 5

110kg x 3

120kg x 1

135kg x 1 PR

140kg x 1 PR

145kg x 0

Pretty stoked to have put 10kg on my deadlift, pretty sure I could have hit 145kg if I took fewer jumps to get there. Interesting to note that my real 1RM exactly aligns with the estimates I have been using.

Then went back to do the reps at 120kg as programmed,

120kg x 3

Decided to have another go, went a bit harder and got 120kg x 5 which is a rep record.

Then tried out some front squats for the first time, just with the bar and then some light weights upto 40kg.

My wrist got really sore so I had to stop it after only a few sets.

Finished with some crunches and went for a brief jog.

During this last set the heavy cast-iron pull-up bar fell off the top off the rack and hit me in the head...could have been nasty if it was during a heavy set. As it was hurt like a bitch and gave me a lump. Memo to self: nail pull-up bar to rack

Hacks, exhausted

80kg x 10

60kg x 10

60kg x 10

Then did some tyre throws and sled drags with my mate. Slayed me, wanted to spew, so unfit.

Maybe he had a dream about the 100kg squat? :pfft:

[rimma]

Lol smartasses I meant that I only got 100kg from one rep max calculator before yesterday. Maybe that bump to my head did do some damage :pfft:

[rimma]

Deadlifts today (in b4 stillwaitingforvid.avi SFS)

50kg x 10

80kg x 5

100kg x 5

110kg x 5

115kg x 8 Pretty sweet new overall record

Bent over rows

Pull-ups

Only seven weeks till I leave the country, thinking of jumping on the sheiko bandwagon to try and deliberately 'overtrain' and push myself, as I will be unused to the rigid structure and higher volume.

Probably will have zero access to a gym for a month and a half.

Then resume 531 again when I come back next year.

Is this a stupid idea?

[Dontrunwithknives]

What kind of weight do you pull on those bent-over rows?

[rimma]

What kind of weight do you pull on those bent-over rows?

Not much, 50kg x 5 x 10

Well, no-one replied re: sheiko so I take silence as consent.

THATS WHAT I TOLD THE JUDGE ANYWAY!

So it was the first workout today, didn't get off to a good start as I pulled something in my groin/leg while squatting. Bench was all good though, pretty easy.

After todays workout me and my mate were driving up to the beach for a swim, he lost control on the gravel and we crashed over a bank and rolled the car 360 degrees into a ditch. Climbed out the windows dukes of hazzard styles with not a scratch on us :shock: but the car is fucked.
