The Running/Keeping Fit Thread

[Subby]

KG mate. I usually conceptualise things in lbs, but the more I train, the more part of my brain thinks in kg for lifts. Guess I have to convert kg back to lbs for real life & then convert Americans' lbs lifts to kg for understanding them in lifting terms!

I trained biceps yesterday - arms is always an afterthought for me (& mine are relatively weak compared to the rest of me), but now I can't train shoulders of chest properly, gonna make a concerted effort to strengthen them & use lack of time & intensity elsewhere.

What you mean my drop-off after a week off? Confused there.

Deads today- not looking forward to them. Lower back is still tired from stepping g the squats back up.

You've confused me back lol...do you mean BY or MY?

Basically going from 4 days a week lifting to nothing(for a week) then back to trying to lift the same weight as before, I was really struggling. Amazing what a lack of a weeks worth of gym can do to your body. Really have to maintain the auld physique religiously or it starts to wane.

Aye, re-read it & makes sense now. Thought you meant I'd had a week off.

Deads today- getting back.

Warm-up:

8@60
3@100
3@140

Working sets:

5@160
5@170
[email protected]
[email protected] (pb for that weight reps-wise, but I'd have been good for 6@180)

Strength endurance to finish:

13@140 (pb)

Should've mentioned that there's this power lifter started training at ours I chat to who used to be a world record holder @ 21 in the juniors- 320K! His 8 rep max was 267.5! He ain't even huge!

[Chazza]

When you say not huge I guess you mean not a 20 stone monster?

[Roboklopp]

Yeah, I'd guess no bigger than 15-16 stone now- and quite all, 6'2ish at a guess. He was bigger when he got the record but not huge. He looks like a track & field athlete rather than a PL.

[Roboklopp]

Here's a vid- bigger back then, but still not huge:

Impressive stuff

I would love to be able to do that.

[Roboklopp]

My 1 rep max is 205, what he's doing is insane. Owt over 250 & you're a ****ing strong *******.

A female friend of the family has just lifted 705kg in the 84kg class. Squat 280kg, Bench press 220kg and Deadlift 205kg

[Roboklopp]

Jesus, that's absolutely ****ing mental. Am assuming that's not raw though given her dead's lower than her squat?

[Assassin]

No idea what raw is....if you search on hildeborg huldal...you will see yourself

Done another 5km straight after work!
But see a cat get run over which almost made me stop because of the sick feeling in my stomach! Just glad other people where there to help the poor thing!

[Roboklopp]

Big, strong girl- says she's in the 90K+ cat what I watched, so that's pretty beefy!

Raw means not wearing super suits- elasticity things which add a fair amount to their lifts. As the deadlift involves overcoming the inertia immediately (hence "dead"), it doesn't benefit from the elasticity "bounce" after the dropping phase of the lift unlike the squat or bench.

Nevertheless, she'd still be massively out squatting & benching me without suits!

[Ams12]

Sorry but that guys deadlifts are poor form! A lot of weight though so fair play to him! Also my iphone 6 plus is huge! Feels like a special needs phone lol

[Roboklopp]

There's a lot of flexion aye, but your form is never great when you're pushing for a pb is it?

Here's his 320:
