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

haha.. cant wait mate..not so sure on the cheap bit tho :-( apparently berlin is fairly pricey!! :-(

today-
felt really sick today, but dint wanna waste a session, so dropped the squats as i would most definately spew, and did a DC upper body session.. felt awesome!! havent done them in ages..

Incline bench-
115k x9,4,3

Standing OHPP-
80k x9,5,3

Straight bar pushdowns-
97k x15,8,5

Wide grip pull ups
BWx 10,8,7

DB rows-
55k x8,5,3  <--- did these like, all 3 rest pause sets on right arm, 1 min rest, all 3 rest pause sets on left arm.

felt like a great session.. why i ever stopped doin DC i'll never know :-( haha.. gonna do the leg session tomorro and then another upper on friday.. then berlin sunday til friday, then resume normal practice the following monday...
thinkin, when i start my cycle i will revert back to DC, as its bloody brilliant :-)

All looking good mate, numbers are still up there.

When you next banging in the gear?

Dc is that 1 set to max, very short pause and repeat yeah? Sounds harsh if you do it right, Mike Mentzer style with sprinkles on top
Solid session for someone who felt like chundering

yeh turned out well DV.. yeh DC is take fist set t failure, usually around 6-10 reps, followed by 15-20 sec rest, repeat, rest, repeat.. tis good.
harsh as and the pump is sick.. but tres good!!

Scott- yeeh weights are still up there mate.. over head today was proper hard cos it was after the inclines, been sending 95 k on the standing overhead work recently for my sets of 6 so im chuffed wi that..
next cycle, will prob have t wait til new yr.. but thats when i get my next loan installment.. im thinkin either,
test and tbol
test and deca, or
nandrotest (prop and npp).. we'll see how much cash i have :-)

  

Bodybuilding Warehouse Board Rep

Standing overhead for set of just short off 100kg is no mean feet mate!!

New years test, dbol, oxy strength will be insane.

Nandrotest means regular shooting, EOD or min of 3xPW really. Can be an unnecessary hassle when test and deca is basically the same thing with less freguent shooting (plus more guaranteed to get pahrma, nandrotest will be UG).

No harm in running the same again either tho as you did well of it last time.....

yeh i understand about the frequesnt jabbin, im just likin the sound of npp from what ive read, and the low water retention etc... plus, all my gear will be UG anyway... we'll see mate
i may just run some test again but up the dose to 750, and throw in some superdrol and adex also..
we'll see :-)
legs tonight DC style- 20 rep squats :-( ouch. gonna do them fronties too.. will try 20 repper with 90-100k on the bar... will take about 4 mins t do them all.. haha

  

Bodybuilding Warehouse Board Rep

Front squats-
125k x 7 reps ---     UP IN WEIGHT FORM LAST FRONT SQUAT SESSION, AND UP IN REPS

good session, although still not feelin 100% so felt pretty sick.. weights seemed decent enough tho.. his gym was full of proper meat heads too.. was class!! :-)

  

Bodybuilding Warehouse Board Rep

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.

haha.. cheers dude :-)

i dont konw whether its this weather or what, but my back is playin up again.. gonan be hitting legs tonight so hoping it doesnt affect that too much..but lower back is feelin v dodgy.. :-(

  

Bodybuilding Warehouse Board Rep

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.

hope so mate.. could be right! had a wk sleepin on a wierd bed in germany, spent the whole wk out in the freezin p1ssin rain hunched over t stay warm so could be a culmination of all that yeh.. :-)

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...

ONE legged SLDL with a bar.... I have to see a vid of that . What do you do with the 'spare' leg?


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

yeh everythin started t feel much better as i got a bit heavier.
the bars just in front of u mate, the none working leg goes up in the air behind u as u lean down with the bar :-)
really good tho mate seriously.. less stress on the back

  

Bodybuilding Warehouse Board Rep

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

i would do mate, especially if one is bad/ weaker at the moment.. i prefer them to standard SLDL's..

  

Bodybuilding Warehouse Board Rep

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.

did my biceps, 18 inches :-).. i find it totally ridiculous that my arms are 3 inches bigger than my calves!! takes the p1ss...
this will be corrected :-)

  

Bodybuilding Warehouse Board Rep

IMHO it is perfectly natural to have arms bigger than your calves LOL... Nice session but I'll stop there before all this man-love starts catching
