mobsterone Posted July 9, 2008 Author Share Posted July 9, 2008 Could be better and I'd like to have seen more successful singles with my left hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobsterone Posted July 9, 2008 Author Share Posted July 9, 2008 Somewhat annoyingly I realized I only did 450-kilos and not 550-kilos on the l/press as I thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobsterone Posted July 9, 2008 Author Share Posted July 9, 2008 Wednesday pm I haven't been to GN in the evening for ages so there was far too much talking and not enough attention paid so that might be why I Four score and seven years ago I am the MAN because I swear and I want everyone to know how manly I am by using profanity.ed up - see below. T/L/R/Thunder B/H: 45-kilos x 8 reps @ L/H: 85-kilos (90.4 OR 95.4??) x 5 x 1 no problems plus a few more attempts R/H: 85-kilos x 1 rep (as above), 100-kilos (as above) x 2 x 1 reps, dropped to 95-kilos (as above) x 2 x 1 rep, then back to 100-kilos (105.4 OR 110.4) x 2 x 1 and 2 x 1 attempts. I am not exactly sure what I was lifting because as I put the weights away I am sure a disc I thought was a 10-kilo disc was in fact a small diameter 15-kilo disc. So, for example, with my left hand I may have been using 5-kilos more than I thought and the same again with my right. Because I trained at Gymantion for a change and used the heavy pin I'd adjusted the numbers anyway... all very confusing to say the least. So I either had a blinder of a session for more singles than I'd thought or was off if the weights were right... All the numbers above are, therefore, what I thought I was doing and may have been heavier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will do some major damage at the Euros though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mobsterone Posted July 15, 2008 Author Share Posted July 15, 2008 Tuesday V annoyed with one hand deadlift. I need to look back at previous efforts on this to see where I am going wrong cos it was all over the place. Yet CG Bench was ok with the two triples with 140-kilo a very nice surprise. One hand deadlifts B/H: 20-kilos e/s x 3 reps @, 40-kilos e/s x 3 reps @ L/H: 50-kilos e/s (120) x 1 rep, 58.75-kilos e/s x 0, 55-kilos e/s x 5 x 1 reps - not too bad but not what I wanted R/H: 60-kilo e/s x 1 rep, 66.25-kilos x 0 reps, 65-kilos e/s x 0, 0 - shit basically. CG Bench - max 20-kilos e/s x 8 reps (t/l), 40-kilos e/s x 6 reps (t/l), 60-kilos e/s x 1 rep, 68.75-kilos (157.5-kilos) e/s x 4 x 1 reps, 60-kilos e/s x 3 x 2 sets * t/l = thumbless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobsterone Posted July 15, 2008 Author Share Posted July 15, 2008 Tuesday pm as per earlier post I was not very happy with the result of the work on one hand deadlifts. So having used the search topic function on my gripboard log I went back ages to see what I was doing before back when I was half decent at it. That'd be late 2006 and early 2007 when I competed against Theo in a supermatch. I pulled 150-kilos right and a weak 120-kilos left. I'd done more with both in training but without the pauses required for an event. I looked at my working numbers so... One hand deadlift (again) - thumb over B/H: bar x 6 reps @, 60-kilos x 5 reps @, 100-kilos x 3 reps @ L/H: 130-kilos x 6 x 1 reps (having done 5 x 1 earlier) R/H: 140-kilos x 6 x 1 reps NB: I was alternating the left and right hand efforts.

mobsterone Posted July 17, 2008 Author Share Posted July 17, 2008 Thursday I need to review the RT work cos I'm having good and bad sessions. It might be the order/sequence of lifts affecting it. 2HP @ 44mm equ x 6 reps, plus 30-kilos x 3 reps, plus 60-kilos x 1 rep, plus 70-kilos x 1 rep, plus 72.5-kilos x 1 rep, plus 75-kilos x 1 rep, plus 78-kilos x 8 x 1 reps. Started shaky but got better with each successful attempt. T/L/R/T B/H: (Light pin) 40-kilos x 1 rep, 50-kilos x 1 rep, 70-kilos x 1 rep L/H: (light pin) 90-kilo x 0 reps, 80-kilos x 1 rep, 85-kilos x 1 rep, 90-kilos (again) x 0 reps, 88.75-kilos x 5 x 1 reps.

mobsterone Posted July 19, 2008 Author Share Posted July 19, 2008 (edited) Saturday Man was I Four score and seven years ago I am the MAN because I swear and I want everyone to know how manly I am by using profanity.ed after this. Shaking a tad and bordering on puking. I have never puked but man did I feel like I was gonna. Grippers were good and bench was up again. Note that I changed some shit around cos I trained at Gymnation. Anyways... Crush grippers I'll alternate these now up to the European. B/H: CoC 1 x 6 reps @, HG200 x 3 reps @, CoC 2 x 1 rep @, HG300 x 1 rep @, L/H: BBGM x 1 rep (deep set), CoC 3 x 1, x VN, VN, VN.

I'm aiming for 4 x 3 next time. Pullover machine 12p (60-kilos) x 8 reps, 18p (about 90-kilos) x 8 reps, stack (100kg) plus 20-kilos x 7 reps.

mobsterone Posted July 23, 2008 Author Share Posted July 23, 2008 Wasn't it? Wednesday Piss poor start. Both he Vulcan Gripper and 2 hand pinch work started badly and got worse. I changed to start crush grippers and they were just as bad. So, having stopped and drawn a line beneath it I went home. Another strong coffee, a prepped protein shake and as H knocked at the door I'd made a decision to go back and for want of a better phrase 'flabbergastenpoopy myself up'. Here's how it went: Part 1 Vulcan Gripper B/H: L1 x 6 reps, L7 x 3 reps L/H: L10 x 1 rep, L12 x 1, VN, VN, 0 R/H: L12 x 1 rep, L16 x VN, 1, VN 2HP @ 44mm set up x 6 reps, plus 30-kilos x 3 reps, plus 60-kilos x 1 rep, plus 70-kilos x 3 x 1 reps (first two very rough), plus 72.5-kilos x 3 attempts (all crap). Part 2 Vulcan Gripper L/H: HG300 x 30 x 1 reps R/H: CoC 3 x 30 x 1 reps 2HP @ 44mm set up x 6 reps, plus 30-kilos x 5 reps, plus 60-kilos (82 in hand) x 16 singles (16 x 1), upped to +65-kilos (87) x 1 rep and 1 missed. Upped again to +70-kilos (92) x 1 and 1 missed rep. Dropped back down to 15 x 1 reps (31 in total at 82-kilos) Much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mobsterone Posted July 24, 2008 Author Share Posted July 24, 2008 Thursday I need someone to follow me around adding brain cells cos I must have - again - used all mine up. I went to Gymnation this evening thinking r/t shoulders and arms yet failed to notice I missed thick bar deadlifts.... kack. I also did my 3 times a year rant and rave at some numptie who pulled into our yard so he could could do a u-turn and drive the wrong way up the one way street outside. I went from serene to foaming at the mouth loon in about 2 seconds for whatever reason. Anyway... TLRT was ok. I do well enough on this lift but am unhappy with not getting a few more kilos on this. Using the light pin I went to 6 x 1 with 88.75-kilos loaded left handed and 100-kilos loaded times the same right handed. Seated BB press 60-kilos x 8 reps, 80-kilos x 6 reps, 100-kilos x 4 x 1 reps DB Curls 10-kilos @ x 8 reps, 17.5-kilos @ x 8 reps, 25-kilos @ x 8 reps, 27.5-kilos @ x 8 reps Tricep Press Down 105-lbs/stack x 10 reps, stack plus 25-kilos x 10 reps, plus 40-kilos x 10 reps, plus 45-kilos x 8 reps.

mobsterone Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 Friday Standard bar sumo style double overhand deadlifts (SB) supersetted with thick bar partial deadlifts double overhand in the rack (various heights)(TB) The thick bar was a hollow scaffold pole about 6 feet long. I did not bother with collars. SB 60-kilos x 5 reps, 80-kilo x 5 reps, 100-kilos x 1 rep, 140-kilos x 4 x 1 reps** TB 40-kilos x 6 reps, 80 x 4 reps, (set bar higher) 120-kilos x 1 rep, 160-kilos x 2 x 1 rep (1 wide grip and 1 narrow - 1 dizzy again), set bar higher again and trying not to let it rest on my nuts did 160-kilos x 1 rep again, 200-kilos x 2 x 1 rep (dizzy on first). I also tried 240-kilos but no go. ** on 2nd rep I was nigh on falling over I was so dizzy. Having staggered around trying not to fall over or bump me head etc I tried again realizing I was holding my breath too long in places hence feeling bolloxed. I also started dropping the bar on standard olympic bar deadlifts as lowering isn't an issue. I was trying, as best is possible, to get my hips down low so my back is flat. Picking the weight up is no problem, getting fully locked out was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
