The Weight Training Thread

[labourRed]

As a wise man once said if you squat and deadlift on the same day you are doing them wrong.

[Pablo]

I'd take the deadlifts out (to put less stress on your lower back over the workout) and keep the hammy curls to about 6-8 reps as hammys respond best to heavier loads and lower reps but otherwise a decent enough routine

This was great advice. I wish I'd read it before as I did actually get some lower back pain from this workout.

Thanks for the advice.

No one is that arsed but new 5 rep PB On deads of 190K. (30st). Oooosht.

It's good but you're no Eddie Hall

[Roboklopp]

Aye, but then he is literally twice my size.

Listen to Arms12 the PT.

Today i had a rest day...mainly because i can get home earlier & settle down before tonights game lol

Tomorrow i will do either some crossfit style workout based on some oly lifts or will do a workout based on big compounds!
This week i've done legs on Monday, chest & back Tuesday then shoulders and arms Wednesday.
Last week i was in the office alone so was mentally tired by the end of my day! Even when you work in a gym it's hard to get your workouts in at times!

Happy Lifting!

i googled 'dead lift' to see what it was and he came up. I bet he has haemorroids like aubergines

5x5 Bench Press today

[paulg]

So yesterday I did some press ups. Proper chin to the floor, body straight as a board, as close to perfect form as I could get. I managed a mighty... 5. Yes 5 press ups, before I was shaking like a ****ting dog.

I've said this many times, but this time I have some real motivation that is outside of myself to get stronger and fitter. So the progress will come.

9 days into my low carb diet and I'm losing no bloody weight. I expected to be a stone lighter by now

Body is just so used to fasting and dieting now, that it barely responds.

[RedReet]

2 long weeks of no carbs and fasting- 1kg lost.

1 day of eating healthily- 1.5kgs gained.

FFS

I look forward to my weigh in tomorrow after boozing and eating crap all day today.

[Roboklopp]

Pretty stable around 89K nowadays but I notice the difference in my belly when I swim less, even if the weight is consistent.

Squats today. Workin sets were:

3x150
3x155
3x157.5
3x155
4x150
