Dale 1989 - Training log (Pics pages 1,5, 22) *Deadlift vids p34*

Nice wieghts being shifted, and looking in good shape well done mate.


** i can push press over 100kg bragging rights lol!

Cheers bud, your a different breed though, so i dont feel bad.

How training going, not seen an update from you in a while.

Too right i am a differant breed, i am part of a massive lab experiment lol!

Trainings going sh1te lol, i havnt trained proply in 9 months now - having said that i am the biggest ive ever been at almost 18stone, 2 days fullbody is about all i can manage with the lack of focus ive had of late, but still seems to be working. I put this down to knowing my body well and the gear that ive just started back on.

How about you, seem to have got your carbs under control!

Trainings not going as well as i`d like, but the eatings well under control, only eating about 2000cals a day.

Ive dropped from around 15stone 10, to 12 stone 12 with no strength loss either.

Any plans to get back in the gym more days per week?

Also, hows your back, i remember you had a problem, sorted or still working around it?

Glad u have the eatting under control mate, wieght loss has been good, you plan to drop it more and get ripped?

Notice your deadlift is looking very good to.

I am going to have to start training more often if i want to place top 5 in the junior brits next year, minds not massivly in it but i am sure i can gather my focus soon.

Back is still shot to **** mate, no back squats, deadlifts or anything lower back related, im working around it but back thickness is suffering because of it.

I arnt sure, i wont make a concious effort to do anything, but if i keep losing thats cool with me.

Ye deadlifts ok, will start a programme soon, hope to see some good gains.

Do you still enjoy your training with the limited exercises? Seen any professionals about your back?

Got any recent measurements, your looking large in your av.

Dawned on me today, not trained chest or shoulders in ages.

looking lean in the pics mate well done,  do you strap you knees up for squats. I could easliy manage another 20k once i got used to them.

Cheers mate.

No dont use anything like straps, belts, wraps etc.

I`ll think about adding them in at some point soon, when i can double 140kg i might start experimenting.

No discomfort at all, so the icing etc has worked.

Bench tomorrow - plan is two 3`s around 88-90kg

does your forearms hurt with bb curls?

mine give me real jip and i cant do them with anything above about 35kg without discomfort

Ive not done BB curls in absolutely ages mate, first time in a good 3 months, and i had absolutely no discomfort anywhere.

I used to get like cramp but a lot, lot worse all up the inside of my forearms doing them.

No discomfort using an EZ bar though.

I`ll have to see whats what when i start to ease the weight back up, tendons permitting.

Right, bench hasnt progressed in ages, twice a week training, monday and friday.

Monday - Speed work at 60kg, 5 sets of 3
Form work, at around 50kg, sets of 3, and lots of them

Friday - Progressing through 5, 3, 2, 1, adding 2 kg each cycle.

Bit of pump work will probably be slung in too.

See how this treats me.

Bit of form work just done

touch and go, could have got around 10 on the last set, felt great.

No push pressing for a while, not going for 100kg as a main goal atm? I failed 80kg yesterday... 75 flew up so thought I had it. Left arm couldn't lock it out..

i pushpressed 80 for 7 reps last night........

jack make sure you push your head through the lift if that makes sense
