A1 Deadlift
2x3 286
1x2 308
1x1 341
1x2 308
1x3 286
last time i did 341 my back was very close to rounding, it was slow and it hurt like hell, it was slow this time too, but alot easier than last time, next time ill get more. Still managing using a regular hook grip, hope i wont have to switch to an alternate grip, i feel its much easier holding the weight close to the body with the regular hook grip.
A2 Calf Raises
1x6 10
1x7 10
1x7 11
1x8 11
I think im doing something wrong, as i cant seem to get reps down on these, i dunno, maybe im restricting range of motion somehow, the weight does go back to resting on the stack at the bottom of the weight, next time ill set the machine so that wont happen, maybe that will make it harder.
B1 Pullups
1x4 12.1
1x4 12.1
1x4 12.1
1x4 12.1
Chins: 1x6 (done 60 sec after the last set of pullups, this is just an attempt to get some more volume on the vertical pull movement)
B2 Overhead Squats
1x8 88
1x8 88
1x8 88
The pain in my hip flexor is still there, so no heavy squatting yet, but i decided to go for this overhead squat, as the pain was barly there, spechally after i stretched my hams to inhibit them.
C1 X Row
1x6 44 (renegade rows on the elbows, this was so ****ed that i decided to go for one handed two point rows instead)
1x9 44
1x9 44
1x9 44
I liked the two point rows, really felt them in my abs, i can probobly do more than 44 lbs though, i hope it wont be too much for my back, since i will be able to use more weight on these than on the renegade rows. But from experience, the back can usually handle a bit more work than the front anyways.
C2 Skullcrushers
1x5 40.7
1x5 40.7
1x5 40.7
1x5 40.7
weight is + whatever the bar weighs.. someones got to kick my ass soon for forgetting to find out how much it is..
D1 PC circuit
1 45 degree back extension 19.25
2 Ham Curl 55
3 Pull Through 88
60 sec rest
1 45 degree back extension 19.25
2 Ham Curl 55
3 Pull Throughs 99
On the first set of pull throughs i got a bit destracted, because someone was doing pullups, and the pullup bar is strategicly places between the two cable stations. You could probobly do cable curls or pushdowns while someone did pullups, but nothing else. For some reason the only people who doesnt use the smith machine for pullups was there when i was suppose to do the pull throughs, so there was a little wait between the ham curls and the pull throughs.
Other than that, i feel this is progressing really fast!
PWO: The usual
Met an old friend of mine at the gym, who used to live here, but now lives in Trondheim, which is the city ill be moving to the 11th. He gave me some tips on where to go to train, there university has a pretty sweet facility, and theres a program for students, you get acces to the facilities (there are two of them, on is big and really sweet, but always PACKED, so im gonna check out both, see what fits) for only 500 NOK for half a year, thats about 86,25 USD, a pretty sweet deal. For that you also got acess to all sorts of different sport activities, martial arts.. etc. Trondheim is one of the best cities in Norway to go to university, because theres TONS of students, NTNU (one of Norways most known universities) and stuff, its gonna be awsome, even though im scares ****less about leaving home and starting for myself in a small apartment.
Now, this was a long post, but you better read it and comment, or im gonna kick your ass. Its always fun to see people reading the log, so even if you got nothing in particular to say, just say "Karky, you da MAN!"
