mobsterone Posted April 16, 2018 Author Share Posted April 16, 2018 Monday What a fkin grind of a day. There's 7 more days training to do then four days rest (stretching and walking only). I'm also waiting on a call from the gym (now I'm back home) re them dropping off their old leg extension in lieu of their getting a new one. A nice addition to the home gym. After eating I crashed and had a nap. Feeling better already Iso Press to 87.5-kilos x 4 reps an arm Hammer DB Curls to 90-kilos x 9 reps @ TPD to 17p +1 stacker plate x 9 reps I forgot my loading pin so I'll train my stub work shortly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried that bloody nail bending the other day, didn't even get close to snapping 1 nail haha the nail seems way too small to do anything with. Sets and reps wise yes. I've not even touched the nails. Not once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mobsterone Posted April 18, 2018 Author Share Posted April 18, 2018 Tuesday So gym work is getting harder and harder. Rather than tear my skin up I decided to hit the pinch 2x today Two Hand Pinch am to 106.45-kilos x 1, 1, 2, 4, and 4 reps. Two Hand Pinch pm to 107.70-kilos x 1, 1, 3 and 3 (very nearly 4) reps I'll be staying at 107.70-kilos and aiming to up the volume over the next 2-3 sessions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobsterone Posted April 18, 2018 Author Share Posted April 18, 2018 Wednesday Last leg session before the competition. The only issue was I felt I could have done more reps on the power squat but for the sheer discomfort of the pads on my right shoulder. Leg Press to 685-kilos x 8 reps (used wraps) Power Squat Machine to 460-kilos x 6 reps Seated Leg Curls to stack +6 stacker plates x 12 reps Leg Extension to stack +6 stacker plates x 12 reps The walk home after is always fun lol.

mobsterone Posted April 22, 2018 Author Share Posted April 22, 2018 Saturday I got the call that my new (used) Leg Extension machine was on its way so having humped it in with 3 other guys to the foyer I spent a LOT of time and energy getting it into the home gym. So training was done later - I finished at 9pm Two Hand Pinch Great session. I decided to go as heavy as I could. As it happened I actually stopped a little short. Now back when I did my best ever work of 118+ kilos (4th best of all time) I hit 112 and 113 or so kilos in training (video on YT). Today I hit 116.45-kilos x 1 rep and felt like 117.70 was there. I've one more pinch session to do. All in all I feel like a platform 120+ is on target. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mobsterone Posted May 8, 2018 Author Share Posted May 8, 2018 Tuesday Possible competition in the Ukraine in September 2019 to consider. I'll think on it. Job first, money second, comp third.

Leg Press footplate x 20 reps, 80-kilos x 20 reps, 120-kilos x 20 reps, 160-kilos x 20 reps, 200-kilos x 20 reps. Wide duck feet splayed setting and super deep stroke. Inner thighs pumped Safety Squat Bar Squats (SSB) Depth was too a bench at just about parallel. The bar is either 20 or 25-kilos in weight.

Thursday More twenty reps sets. There was also a lad competing this weekend who was being tanned up who I took some photos of for him. Then, like a dick, left my camera behind. The gym owner rescued in but left a handful of 'interesting' pics on it lol Close grip bench press bar x 20 reps, 50-kilos x 20 reps, 80-kilos x15+3+2 reps. Pumped Lat pulldowns - v-handle 8p x 20 reps, 11p x 20 reps, 15p x 20 reps I might have had a little more in me but was pushing the clock Double overhand thick bar deadlifts (thumb over for most part) The last set was a KILLER. 'Er Indoors' (the GF) and I went for a drive/walk after and the ride back... my back didn't like me at all lol. At some point, as per the Ukraine events, I'd like to hit 170-180-kilos x 20 reps (in 75 seconds) bar x 20 reps (10kg), 50-kilos x 20 reps, 70-kilos x 20 reps, 90-kilos x 20 reps. Even though I knew I might moan about it after... 110-kilos x 13+4+3 reps. All ball busters.
