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

we're the same on chins and pushups damnnnnnnnnnn

whats a rolling tricep extension??

check the video in my log

there ya go Daz mate
tris are fried today, really good exercise

cheers mate, might give that a try next week!

Good little tri exercise those are, have you tried tate presses too?

nah never tried tate presses DV.. wil have a look at them, but yeh the rolling tri extensions are great.. really felt it more the day after,

havent trained this wk yet :-(
been workin my tits off in th elibrary gettin coursework done finished, headin back in a bit to do more, will be there all night probably til tomorro mornin as well :-(, but will be training tomorro night..

I don't miss those days. Good luck with it mate

u will do it

ok, so im done!
what a horrid last 4-5 days.. done so much work, and unfortunately have averaged about 1500 cals a day since saturday :-( not good.

just back from the gym, wasnt the best session, didnt even bother trying to keep up with what i normally do, it went like-

bench
130x7
140x3 --- Awful!  absolutely 0 energy wat so ever!! cant wait t start eatin properly again!!!!
Flat DB press-
30kx20
30kx16 -- once again, awful!! weights down a fair bit from last week, just nothiin in the tank at all

seated row / supersetted with tri pushdowns
67kx15* 3 sets / 77kx15 * 3 sets

DB shrugs / supersetted with / DB lateral raise
30x15 * 3 sets / 10k x 15 * 3 sets

so i got most of it done, 1 set down on both the supersets and dint bother with a 3rd set on bench...
knackered! bad timing too cos will be hit and miss over xmas time also :-( i hate interruptions to my routine! does my head in..

You still got in there and did something, not easy when you're running on empty tho... oddly I made basic strength can be not too bad, but zero endurance is what hits me.

The week or so interruption that is xmas will only take a couple of weeks to remedy in the new yesr tho, mate, no worries

i know what u mean mate.. i just hate it, especially when ur makin head way..
im thinkin train as and when i can til the gyms open up properly again, then get a couple of wks consistent trainin in, then......

12 wks sust
8 wks tbol :-)

cant wait

fu(kin hell mate i hate uni gettin in the way of training aswell...i seem to lose so much strength after just 1 week of not eating/training properly!

lack of food + stress = poor gym performance.... sucks doesnt it?

i remember work being so manic once i had little time to eat and when i did i wasnt hungry.
needless to say it had a knock on effect and i half assed a workout or two.

hope things settle down mate

yeh everythin is done now mate.. but unfortunately its xmas now so training will obviously be interrupted due to gyms shutting sporadically, so training is gonna be as and when the gyms are open over xmas, gonna take full advantage of each opening day i think..
but yeh, ive got plans in place to make 2010 a v v good yr all round for me, and its goin to be kicked off with a nice little 12 weeker from mid jan onwards..

Quite lucky at my place, the only day I HAVE to miss thru closure is Xmas day, and TBH I wouldn't train then anyway, otherwise, on paper, I don't miss a scheduled session....... I'm sure the Mrs will have a word or 2 to say about that tho LOL

haha, yeh i think  my gym is closed xmas day, and boxin day. but i'll be out on boxin day anyway..
shouldnt miss too much t be honest, will be back in newcastle on the 27th or somethin liek that, and my gym here is open up until new yrs eve..

cool video of JoeDefranco's ideas and methods put into action by some strong/ fit blokes..

love the way this guy puts routines together.. some of the guys who train his methods in his vids are frickin huuge too!

ok, today- was supposed to do legs but today is the 2nd upper body day and my training partner was doin it so im gonna do legs tomorro or sunday

pull ups-
12, 8, 2 = 22 reps

Pulldowns- supersetted with / Standing DB shoulder press
67kx20                     /         20k x 20
67kx15                     /         20k x 20

Rolling Tricep extensions / supersetted with / DB hammers
18k x 8                        /              20kx8  * 5 supersets

Core circuit-
toe touchesx10
bicycle crunches x 10 each side
30 sec plank holds each side

100 press ups = 4 mins 26 secs

last week when we did the timed pushups, we were countin in our heads for each other as we dint have a timer, but we had my phone this wk, was much quicker than last wk so i must have been 5 mins or so last week.
next time i try these, im goin to do it in bursts of 5 reps or so, i tried 12 rep attempts this time and was still gassed when i got to like 65-70. think i'll do 5 on, 5 secs off, i reckon i could do the full 100 like that .. that would have me do it in under 3 mins 30 secs, which is my next goal.. it seems this one is as much about strategy as it is conditioning :-( feels great though..

Legs on a sunday! there's laws against that isn't there.

Those press ups sound nastier each time LOL
