Raising The Bar

Another early morning session today, I've forgotten most of my lifts but I did go up to 330lbs for my squats which was pretty cool.

I stuck to the ME push schedule but supplimented with some other pushing movements in the 10 rep range. I forgot calf raises though :(

I'm finding the early morning routine very tiring
 
Did you get my last email?
 
It's shamless plug time; my brother-in-law is a school kid and is interested in being a writer in the future

He's just had a couple of short stories/articles put up on a website and if enough people click 'I like it' then he gets paid for it so can you all go on and say you like it even if you don't :)
 
Can you re-send then? I haven't had anything come through

Is the new training schedule sorted yet? I hope it's so tough that Arnie would be in tears just reading it ;)
 
I did another early morning session today, I need to write down what I do because I seem to forget by the time I get back to the office

Deadlift 3x10
Cable Row 3x10 @185
Lat pull downs 3x10 (I remember I did better than usual with these)
Pull ups 2x5
Seated calf raises 3x10 (because I forgot them yesterday)
Bicep curls 3x10

and some other stuff I can't seem to remember right now, I'll update as things come back to me

I was thinking about making an interview thread where I quiz members on the history in fitness and motivations in life. Anyone else think this could be a good idea?
 
Cool, I'll start thinking about questions to ask

If anyone has any suggestions for general questions or specific questions for certain members then PM them to me :)
 
It was so tough today, apparently the more weight I gain the more I snoore and last night it was terrible. My girlfriend woke me up about 4 times telling me to shut up so come 5.30 I felt like death.

I somehow managed to make it into the gym but I'm going to have to go on a bit of a diet next week. That will tie in with my new training plan. I think I should get decent results as I'm pretty strong now but I have way too much fat covering it

The plan is to eat super clean until I'm in the low teen's for BF% and then bulk up again but keeping the clean diet

Training today

Deadlifts
3x308
1x352
3x330
2x330
3x308
3x308
1x352

Bent Over Rows
6x3@ 176

Pull ups
Difficult to tell because I split them up throughout the session but I did quite a few sets of 2 @ BW. I'm still rubbish at these but I'll get better once I've cut fat.

DB Power snatches & Bicep curls set
2x10 @ 40 (each arm)

Reverse Lunges with med ball
2x10

I might have missed something off but I can always update later
 
Why am i so weak at benching :(

You say yourself, that you suck at benching C, but the thing is:

''Bench
12x 154
11x 176
9x 176
9x 154''

I can only just do 12 @ 135 never mind 154! and doing 11 @ 176, i can prob manage about 3 !!

Im sh!t.!!!!!
 
don't worry about it big tom, it will improve! Are you progressing from week to week on the bench? What does your routine look like, if you want help with it you can post it in the weight training forum and myself and I'm sure others too would take a look at it.

How do you do at DB chest pressing?

Do you think you have a weak link i.e. chest or shoulders lagging?

Doing elevated press up Iso holds really improved my pressing strength, I would never have imagined the impact they would have but Tony told me to do them to increase shoulder stability and they worked a miracle in just a few weeks
