LOL god you make me sick, a week off, pickling yourself and then hit 140 and blast out 120 like it's a warm up set..... Nice.

I would have expected to see a bit more on your shrugs, altho you'll have a full squeeze there rather than the 2" head bob many pass off as a shrug.

Good work tho, hope you stretched as you'll ache tomorrow, and the next day.

Could be the result of the week off, no training etc and I find things tighten up. Get a coupel of sessions under your belt and you should, fingers crossed, be all good.

today-
front squats-
worked up to a heavy set of 120x5-- pretty comfortable, but that was my goal today due to the mini lay off..will be back to 125 next wk im hopin.

BB 1 legged SLDL's-
35kx8*4 -- pretty quick sets

superset-
lying ham curls/ leg extensions
60kx20 / 20kx20

finished with a couple of sets of 20 rep EZ curls and a couple of light hammer curls..

nice session to ease my lower half back in to the swing of things as back is a little funny..
felt good tho, squats were fine.. lookin forward to next week gettin back at it full throttle

watched that movie, 'paranormal activity' last night in the house wi the lads.... pretty sketchy film!! not as scary as we were expecting but still, was a bit wierd...

Decent work tho fella, looks like things sorted out once you got moving.

If my hammy doesn't buck it's ideas up I may give a whirl to some of this one legged stuff

ok, so just done a 'Barbell Complex' in the garage.. the cold air made it f*ckin haaarrrddd!!
complexes are basically circuits, but the weight is never released from ur hands.. it went like;

Deadlift
BB row
Hang clean
Push press
Back squat Jump
Back squat press ( shoulder press at the top of the squat)
Good mornings
Lunges
**crappy york barbell with 20k on it**

initial idea was to do;
6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 reps, with a minute between each round.. i got to 3, and the air was killin me.. so waited 5 mins or so and hit the 6 rep round again then packed in.. was awesome tho, legs are pumped t high hell and i feel ruined!!
will be doin these twice a wk on off days, with another cardio day thrown in on an off day also.
