Westside, Kiwi's and Training OCD!!!! welcome to my world...

good workout, sanity says to call it quits at just legs after those 20 reppers lol.

heavy legs for me tonight...160k is the benchmark...challenge accepted lol

haha.,...
i know u've got me on the squatting front.. i think u'd p*ss thru 160k mate... im gettin there tho.. dodgy lower back and all that.... ;-) haha!!
the 20 reppers are great t just completely finish me off..it does however, affect the rest of the workout slightly.. quads start t shake a little with SLDL's and lunges etc..
its all good tho!

went t tesco's last night and stocked up on some good old skinny cow ice cream!! beautiful it is!!
back is still feelin v pumped.. obviously some water retention goin on there!!
my back feels so pumped that, i am conctstantly stood/sat with v good posture, which in turn is causin some back pain... :-(
wierd i know, but i have always suffered from lower back probs and had slightly bad posture when i was younger etc.. walkin round with a nice arch in my lower back all the time is takin its toll and lying down at the end of a day is a killer cos my lower back tries to flatten out and the pumps are really hinfdering that!!
ah well... suppose its a good thing really!!
day off today, really wanna train tho....

i remember one time putting my back out so bad i couldnt lie flat on the floor without pain, when i moved house it was killing me.

that night i slept in my new bed with new matress and i woke up 1000x better and the pain went within a week.

hows your mattress?
might be a stupid question but switching it worked wonders for me

u could be right mate. it is a matress i have taken with me since i left home and one i used whilst i lived wi my mum so maybe time for a new one!!
ill look into it.. it isnt too bad t be honest, however, me and the gf have been sayin lately how it is  gettin more uncomfortable recently!

good thinkin fella

Good work Bro.

Keep it up..

Taurine and loads of bananas (potassium) will help the back pumps no end ;)

cheers mate..
yeah i total forgot about taurine.. i'll get on the case. got a fair few bananas yesterday so ill have  a couple every day and see if it starts t help

cheers mate

ok.. so last night was a nightmare..
hardly any sleep wat so ever.. think i may have eaten somethin a bit dodgy as i feel like i have a stomach bug.. was up all nght sh*ttin and it still dodgy now... crampin up quite a bit.. was a bit worried it could have been the epi or any of the other 2 things im takin but unsure on that!!
have had t miss uni today anyway cos i really couldnt risk havin t jump up out of lecture in front of 300 people t run t the toilet t sh*t!!
p*st off cos we have coursewk comin out soon and i need t be in as much as possible...
supposed t be traini tonight too but may have t knock that on the head also as i dont wanna sh*t myself halfway thru a set...

bad bad day....

LOL, sorry dude had to laugh at that

nightmare mate, sounds more like a stomach upset if your sh1ttin a lot mate, prob not the epi. Youve not been eating dodgy kebabs have you

errr dont mention kebabs....my house mate nuked two tesco's kebabs for his dinner last night... nearly gave me the trots looking at it

rest up, hope you can put a plug in it

haha..
on the food front, its all been home cooked stuff, so unless somehtin maybe had some raw meat on t i dont know.. but im very careful wi things like that!! but sometimes dodgy fod can kick in a few days after eatin it, and i had an all u can eat chinese buffet on monday.. seems a bit long t kick in but u never know.. i dont feel sick thats the funny thing tho.. stomach just wont settle.. havent had a sh*t for a few hrs now but stomach is no better!!! arrrggghhhh...

i really wanna train too.. felin v strong at the moment and dont wanna lose track.. i kow a day wont matter but just feelin in a good place with the trainin at the moment.

so i was feelin a bit sorry for myself so ive just had, a protein shake, big bowl of skinny cow ice cream with 2 low fat maryland cookies, and a bowl of porridge oats filled out with some sci-mentor protein brek which is like a protein filled ready brek.. nice and full now, bit of a binge so will have to curb it for a little while.. i seem to be bingin a blittle too often however it doesnt seem to be affectin my condition too much at all!!

feelin bit better now, maybe i iwll make the gym after all

Get to the gym, you'll be fine, just take a spare pair of boxers in case you have an "accident" lol

yeah im thinkin om gonna go.. t be honest im feelin really up for it which is strange givcen how ive felt all day today!

will update if i do go.. probs will :-)

well todays sessin was a bit diferent-
not sure why it turned out this way, prob cos my delts were so pumped i could hardly move.. but, it went like htis-

Hammer chest press-
70k x 8,3, rest, 70k x 5, dropset to 50k x 6
Standing BB strict shoulder press- (no push from legs)
70k x 6,
75k x 4,
75k x 4, then to
Standing BB push press-
80k x 4,
85k x 4
85k x 3
cable sidelaterals-
20k x 12 each arm
CGBP-
110k x 5
120k x 5 ---> could have gone heavier, and could havehad more reps from the 120k but no spotter and i dint wanna push it seein as 3 hrs ago i was making a conscious effort not to sh*t myself!!!these were done like floorpresses too, so bar stoped approx 6 inches from chest (well, upper arms parallel to ground).
Cable pushdowns-
47k x 10, supersetted with
dipping machine-
full stack x 16
Face pulls-
35k x 13

was a good session. the assistance lifts im not too fussed on.. but the shoulder pressing really f*ckin hurt cos my delts are so frickin pumped.. still very sore no so gonna have a banana!
but this was a taste as to what my trainin will be like in the near future.. im lovin DC, but ive decided, after watchin shows like last man standing and unbreakable, that im gonna put it to use and train more in a strength oriented way! and possibly do some form of strongman/ powerliftin comp in the future..
by then obviously i will get my routine down pat and chat wi some of the more eperienced guys on here but really dont think a stage is my kind of thing and posing to music etc.. i'm shy.. ;-) !!

o yeah, and weighed myself at the gym too.. it always seemed a little light but.. anyway,
weighed myself bout a wk ago and it was hovering between 102 and 103 k.. weighed today and it came in at a lovely 107k!! not sure how, or why.. but 4k's in approx a wk!! v happy wi that..
that translates too... nice pic while u wait..



just checkin google converter....

235 lbs... which is 16 stone 8lbs..

that dint seem right at first..
ah well.. weight is definately up. maybe i wasnt as heavy as i first thought to begin with!

*** ERROR***
 it is in fact 16st 12lbs :-)

like that workout and well done on the weight gain .. my training has been more about just getting through my w/o the last few ones .. lot of stress going on at the mo :(

Nice workout mate. =)

Have you tried taurine for the pump?

cheers marsbar mate-
yeah today was a bit wierd, and yeahgoin thru a few little things at the mo too, so im happy that im managing to keep some motivation up!!
im lovin DC but thinkin of changin things up now and again to try and bring a more strength element to it!and yeah im well happy wi the weight gain.. couldnt believe it!!

fun meter- will be gettin some taurine soon mate.. pumps are gettin pretty intense now!1 haha.. just lets me know the epi etc is workin!! :-)

Whats the reasoning behind this mate? to keep the focus on the tri's and not chest / delts?
