Tony: I seem to progress really fast with Iso holds. Is it possible to make up a whole routine using them and do you think it would be effective?

A whole routine? I know some people who do this, though I dont know if you mean a "complete" routine or just as an accessory to your routine?
 
I haven't done much other BW stuff at all, just what's on my regular schedule. I was thinking that the pull ups are getting easier because of the diet but my weight is sticking at 220lbs

I only asked about the Iso stuff as a complete workout due to curiousity. I seem to get super fast results from iso work
 
Disaster this morning. I got up at 5.30 to get into the gym before work only to find I'd lost my shorts, after about 30 minutes I gave up looking and took an old pair of poorly fitting swimming shorts instead. I get halfway to the station and then realise I've forgotten my fob to get into work and my lunch for the day so have to turn back.
I finally get to the station; just as my train is leaving :mad: 30 minutes later and I'm on the train. I eventually get to work and look for the gym, I found it by looking on my gyms website yesterday, I was really late but could still probably get 45 minutes in. As you might have guessed the gym wasn't there! In its place was a Playstation building, the gym must have closed down and they haven't updated their website :mad:

Anyway, I'm going to have to ask round the office to see if anyone knows where there is one round here and I'll try and get as much done in my lunch break as possible
 
I'd never been before but it's advertised on their group website. I'm looking for a different one now

It's just one of those mornings

I have more energy than before on the low carb diet but just the sight of chocolate is making me crave hard enough to send me crazy, it's like giving up smoking all over again

I'm going in early again next week to get those squats in. I might measure my BF% again, if it hasn't gone down enough I'll have to get even tougher on the carbs for a while

I think I'm only going to drop to about 15% and then I'll hit a surplus over summer as I've decided to go away over Christmas rather than the summer so I need to get in shape about 4 months later than previously planned
 
No time to post my training just yet but will do later

Just wanted to ask; why do people look at you funny if you squat without using the pu**y pad to protect your shoulders?
 
a lot of people use it at my gym. I don't get the point. Eventually it won't hurt anymore. and specially if you place the bar correctly on your back it shouldn't be a problem unless you're very bony.

Well I was lifting 145kgs today and it didn't hurt at all, if I were to use the padded thing though it probably would have hurt as it presses against your neck. I think using a bare bar allows it to sit further back on your shoulders making the lift more comfortable
 
when using the pad is very uncomfortable if you place the bar correctly since it would then put the bar out further back, making you have to lean more forward and the weight wouldn't be resting on the "shelf" (since the pad takes the bar further out). People who use it usually place the bar just on top of their upper traps touching the neck.
 
Just to let you all know, I'm still training, even if I'm not on much at the moment. I'll try and update my training log from the last 2 days tonight.

I dodn't seem to be losing any weight though, not sure what's going on, I'm sure I'm eating in a deficit but the weight is stubborn
 
DB Chest Press
4x5@ 158

Cable flyes
3x12@ 132
9x 132

Push Press
3x8@ 99

There was no bar free so had to do these with a pre-set bar which only goes up to 99lbs. I did these as military presses to compensate for the drop in weight

Seated Row
3x12@ 169

Lateral step up
3x10 + 15kg

Bodyweight squat (slow)
3x12

Crunches
2x20 holding med ball on head

I'll post Mondays training tonight
 
Glutes Hams/Thursday
Deadlift...........................4x5
Single Leg RDL..................4x15..............90

Weighted sled leg press......3x8
DB Farmers walk................3x?................75

DB Snatch from standing.....3x10
Bradford press...................3x5................60

DB Grip hold......................2x10..............30

I did this today, sorry for not going into great detail but a brief summary was that I had to lower my deadlifting weight from 140kg to 135kg to get out the reps. This might be due to training early and not having breakfast before training.

Everything else is going OK and I can now do better than 3x30sec on the iso pull ups. I'm going to try and do 3x8 pull ups tomorrow although I feel that this migt be a little too ambitious
