Aleksandar Milosevic Posted March 19, 2017 Author Share Posted March 19, 2017 (edited) Today's training (19.3.2017.):Jefferson deadlift: 90 kg x 5 x 3 each legAverage band 45° hyper: 20 x 3 PR; bw x 20 x 3 Only two exercises, I had to cut the training short because of the biggest lower back pain I've ever felt in 10 years of weight training. I've completely exhausted my lower back, started cramping, couldn't stand or sit, I was basically in agony and thought I got a hernia. It lasted about 20 minutes, and went away completely. Now I'm feeling great Edited March 21, 2017 by Aleksandar Milosevic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aleksandar Milosevic Posted March 21, 2017 Author Share Posted March 21, 2017 Today's training (20.3.2017.):Wide(r) grip bench press: 120 kg x 3Paused wgbp (legs up): 90 kg x 5 x 3Chest supported row: 60 kg x 8 x 3Ez bar skullcrushers: 60 kg x 6 PR; x 4; 50 kg x 10 x 2 supersetStraight bar cheat curl: 52.5 kg x 10 x 3 I did this workout yesterday (I'm writing this on the 21st), and I've made a mistake, I should have gone for 122.5 kg on the bench press, but since I barely did 120, I don't think it would go that well. My warm up wasn't good enough. I'm aiming for 125 kg for the next month tho. Triceps is very sore from the lower rep skullcrushers followed by 2 sets of 10, so I'll continue structuring the triceps work like that, 2-3 heavy sets + 2 rep sets.

Everything else went fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aleksandar Milosevic Posted April 10, 2017 Author Share Posted April 10, 2017 Today's training (10.4.2017.):Dumbbell floor press: 35 kg x 20 lifetime PR; x 15; x 12Dumbbell row: 35 kg x 20 x 3 PR supersetDips: 20 x 3 (very good)Savickas lateral raises: 8 kg x 15 x 2Band biceps + triceps: 50 reps each Good session, in a "fancy" gym where the heaviest dumbbell is 35 kg, that's why I did all the high reps. I was amazed at my floor press strength since I haven't done them with dumbbells in a long time, same thing with dips, I never do them. Savickas lateral raises are regular lateral raises done sitting on the floor with your legs straight, they are brutal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aleksandar Milosevic Posted April 12, 2017 Author Share Posted April 12, 2017 Today's training (12.4.2017.):Conventional deadlift: 165 kg x 1 DO, 175 kg x 1 PR strapsDeficit conventional deadlift: 130 kg x 5 x 3Reverse hyper: 72.5 kg x 20 x 3 I'm feeling very good about my deadlift, it's 2 x bw + 5 kg now, and I think I got 182.5-185 kg in me at the moment. Weight felt about 30% lighter than the 170 kg one month ago. Gym still smells like shit, because a sewage pipe burst, so it's not really a good place to be for a long time, that's why I kept it short - but productive.

Aleksandar Milosevic Posted April 17, 2017 Author Share Posted April 17, 2017 Today's training (17.4.2017.):Bench press: 122.5 kg x 1.5 fail; 125 x 1; 130 kg x 02 board paused bench press: 110 kg x 3 x 3 supersetLow pulley rows: 105 kg x 10 x 2 PR; 60 kg x 15Barbell cheat curl: 55 kg x 10 x 3 PR supersetOne handed cable triceps extension: medium x 15 x 4Upright rows wide+narrow: 15+15 x 3 Bench press didn't go well at all, problem being that I've thought that I'm doing rack presses today, but the plan called for benching. I have a lot different mindset going into bench pressing and any other max effort exercise. I need to be a lot better prepared for the bench press, and I wasn't. Nevermind, I need to put 2 board bench presses after every max effort exercise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gonna transfer into neck bridges and front bridges, they don't bother me that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aleksandar Milosevic Posted April 19, 2017 Author Share Posted April 19, 2017 Today's training (19.4.2017.):Low bar back squat: 135 kg x 2 PRFront squat: 80 kg x 5 x 5 PR Reverse hyper: 75 kg x 20 x 3 PR supersetRolling thunder: 30 kg x 5; 40 kg x 5; 50 kg x 5 I've miscalculated again, I thought good morning was up today, not squats. Still a PR, but I wanted to hit 3 reps, and I could have, just hit a bit of a mental block in the 3rd rep, almost like I didn't really care to do it, first 2 reps were really fast. And I've said it the last time I did my squats, that I need more direct leg work, and it still stands. Back feels really solid tho. Did some RT without chalk, last set was pretty hard, but my hands were so sweaty the entire handle was wet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durrs Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Loving all the neck work dude! Most under trained but extremely important muscle group in the body IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aleksandar Milosevic Posted April 21, 2017 Author Share Posted April 21, 2017 I wanted to ask you about your neck size man, I saw you did A LOT of neck work. You can give me some advice too, what did you find that works the best, exercise, rep and set wise. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durrs Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 What I found works the best is 3-5 sets where I roll my forehead side to side on the pad of a bench press from my knees at a slow controlled speed to burnout and then hold just a "plank" until that burns out and that's 1 set. For the back of my neck I flip around so I'm now facing the ceiling and again roll the back of my head side to side until burnout. For rear neck work using this method i alternate between rear head rolls and just straight lifts where I pull my butt off the ground and essentially lever my torso with the back of my head on the side of the bench pad. Again until burnout and 3-5 sets. I used to use a 4 way neck machine at a very high frequency but it started to hurt my spine between my shoulder blades area for some reason. This bridge type neck work seems to be the best IMO and I've put a solid inch on my neck since I started training it a lot about 9 months ago. It responds quickly because it's so under trained. Frequency is the best for strength and size when it comes to neck so shoot for 3-5 set sessions 3x/week. All the best in your training brother I hope this helps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
