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

That's a busy week, other than a little light cardio no harm in taking the weekends off at all IMHO.

Be interesting to see how that routine would work on gear, altho the complexes may fcuk you up if the routine works then it should be even better when AAS is added

yeh the complexes would be hard goin maybe with AAS introduced, however, the effect of them may be doubled/ tripled etc, and results could be pretty sexy.. we'll see.. see how the progress goes unassisted then will look at things when i start..
yeh busy week, but the cardio is fairly steady state, the complexes are hard obviously, but they last about 60-90 secs each, so including rest its not much at all.. :-)

today-
Front squats-
warmed up in 20k increments to,
120x3
130x3 --- comfortable
90x20 --- ouchie!!!!!!!

SLDL-
warmed up-
50kx8 - these were 1 leeged, but the added strain on the quads to stabilise the body was achin so switched to 2 legged..
100x12 * 2 sets -- havent done these in ages and felt massively heavy!! haha.. good tho

BB lunges-
55kx 8 * 3 sets

Standing smith calf raise- 1 legged
20kx12 * 3 sets,
repped out on 2 legs, same weight, 20 reps

good session today.. droppped the ham curls as i didnt feel i needed them today, will probably throw them in every other week..
good session tho, Front squats up on last week, felt v nice on them today too. ncie and controlled reps :-)

90x20

Urrghh...

Looking strong fella..... so where's this mythical vid of 90x20 then!!!???

haha, as soon as i got there i realised i had forgotten my phone.. i promise tho, they were done!! all 20 of them, and it hurt..
with FS's tho it hurts in the delts too, plus the bar weighing down on the collar bone makes breathing hard!! but its worth it.. i f*ckin love them!!

No.13- indeed :-)

Forgot your phone indeed, yeah, yeah, yeah

haha, i did i promise.. next week. 100k for 20!! its in me i know it is.. and it will be filmed, blood, guts, sh1t n all!! :-)

Nice.... wait til I've eaten tho please

haha.. will do mate
i'll be very happy if i do manage the 20 with 100k on the bar tho.. maybe a step too far now i think about it... but i'll give it a bash.. will be sore!!

today-
30 mins recumbant bike cardio @ approx 95 RPM
followed by,
2 rounds of
DB Swings- 15 reps w/16k DB
DB snatch- 8 reps each arm w/ 30k DB
DB Thrusters - 8 reps each arm w/ 16k DB

stepped back a bit with the complex today, feelin a bit beaten up in the lower region.. legs are sore, lower back a bit twingy... :-(

Need some help too guys..
obviously u have seen my split, but im now a tad worried that tues, weds, thurs have too much leg work in there!! obviously weds is my leg day, but the complexes either side of weds have a fair bit of leg work in- squats, thrusters, snatches, swings, deads, lunges etc etc etc..

im lookin to do 2 complexes during the week, can someone possibly help me piece together 2 complexes, one which is slightly more upper body oriented, the other which is more lower body oriented....
im gonna be switching between BB and DB too..
cheers guys..

If the moves are more dynamic than maximal lifting then they shouldn't be that detrimental. Can you not schedule your split so that there is at least a day either side not so heavy on leg work? Even if you do legs after a day off, then anything following shouldn't be a problem

thats the thing mate i cant really..cos i wanna get 2 cardio days in during the week, and my 3 days weights as well.. leaving weekend optional for a cardio/ complex day if wanted..

yeh the weight isnt high, but the constant squatting etc takes its toll...

Ca you not do

Mon: legs etc
Tues: Bench etc
Wed: CV and complex
Thur: other weights session
Fri: CV and complex

Then you can still hit something Sat if you wish and then have optional CV on the Sun. But you have the day off legs on the tues

hmmmmm..
somehtin i need to ponder :-)

maybe this complex's from the badass book??

i'll have a re check of the book and look at the complexes in there..

today-
DB incline Bench-
warmed up to..
50kx8* 4 sets

Wide pull ups/ DB seated power cleans - SUPERSET***
BW x 10       / 14k x 10 reps X 3 SUPERSETS

Seated Db shoulder press-
40k x 10, 7, 8 ( 2 spotted reps on last set)

Hammer strength shrugs / tricep pushdowns
                                    / DB hammer curls
80k x 10                       / 42k x 10 pushdowns * 2 SUPERSETS
80k x 10                       / 24k DB's x 10 Hammer curls * 2 SUPERSETS

 great session today, felt good in the gym
not massively happy with the incline work, hopefully that will start t increase a bit.
shoulder presing is good tho. 40k DBs after inclines, chins and DB seated power cleans, im happy with that! the power cleans completely fry the delts too..

feelin good..

o, and i got a job yesterday as well.. i'll be working in that huge shiny slug lookin thing on the quayside called the sage.. its a huge music centre kind of thing. orchestras play there, live shows etc etc.. gonna be good.. just part time so will help fund my spending habit and of course help fund my cycle in jan.. :-) plus my stdent loan comes in on jan 12th :-) and the money i get from the rents every month, gonna be on a ncie little earner :-)

Student loan, a job (congrats on that BTW) and you still get dosh from the folks... they're more generous than me LOL. Job sounds right up your street tho.

Big session today, nice one. Cleans and shrugs, that'll hurt the traps tomorrow

yeh traps are takin a beating recently, but its good.. its gettin some thickness and growth out of them,
yeh the job starts next thursday.. just workin on the cafe/ bar area, which gets hideously busy apparently.. but it'll be cool.. i love live music, and although most the stuff in there is classical/ orchestral, will still be really interesting workin there..
its the 5th birthday of the sage too next month and sting is there for the big do, so hopefully get t meet him.. should be, plus the hrs are worked around my uni schedule and at weekends..
as for the folks.. yeh, thye help me out cos they know a student loan really isnt much at all.. i get 1100 per semester.. so thats like 3 months, to pay rent and live on that for 3 months would be impossible.. so they put a ceertain amount in each month and its great, really helps me out! :-)

the job should mean that i can save a bit too for next summer, and start building my new tattoo as well!! :-)
