NONAME'S JOURNAL... ## Weight loss time!!! ##

This evening i worked my back.


Deadlifts

12 reps with 60kg (warm up)
8 reps with 100kg (warm up)
2 reps with 140kg (warm up)
6 reps with 190kg
3 reps with 195kg
2 reps with 200kg
1 rep with 200kg
1 reps with 200kg


Wide Grip Chins

10 reps
7 reps
6 reps
6 reps
3 reps with 10kg
2 reps with 15kg


Tonight was a good workout. Deadlifts felt better.

Felt hard to get a decent number of reps on wide grip chins, so thought i would give them a try with a bit of weight. I put some plates in an old satchel type bag i had in my gym and hung it around my waist. I liked the feeling of pulling up against the extra weight, so i now plan to invest in a dipping belt.

Tonight i tried out my post workout protein shake blended with 1 weetabix and half a banana. It was ok so i shall continue to do that from now on.

good stuff mate i cant wait till i have to add weight to do my chins lol. your deads are rather intense. keep it up.

Yep nice session there mate

Cheers guys!

I was pleased with the session, although i do want to start increasing the overall volume of reps from now on, as i feel it's still just a little low.

Just finished a nice steady 30 minutes on my exercise bike.

Nice dead lifts as always mate.

How much cardio are you doing?

By the end of this week it should just be 3 steady 30 minute sessions.

Although i want to get 4 or ideally 5 steady 30 minute sessions a week. All in the mornings.

You'd prob be better off working upto to 3, 45mins sessions mate. Then go for more sessions. Although I'm no expert.

Cheers, but i prefer the extra sessions rather than less sessions with longer duration at the moment.

It's just something short, steady and regular just to keep me ticking over.

When i go on a cut later this year then it will be different... working upto 5 or 6 60 minute sessions a week.

Cool mate

good weights you using mate !

good weights you using mate !

Cheers!

Im getting back into it all pretty good now.

I don't think it will be too many weeks away before all my working sets on deads hit 200kg (440lb), thats my short term goal!... and a 5 plate 1 rep max.

Weighed myself this morning before cardio and was just over 87kg (193lbs).

Niiiiiice lifting.


Any reason you add weight after you are fatigued on WG chins???

Cheers McLaren!

Adding the weight on the chins was just a spur of the moment thing. On the 5th set i thought to myself i would probably only get 4 or 5 reps at bodyweight, so then thought i could probably get nearly the same with some weight added.

I'd thought about a dipping belt in the past, but never gone any further than thinking about it.

Although i will now be ordering one, maybe this week. I think it will help my progress better a fair bit.

Tonight i worked my triceps.


Close Grip Bench Press

15 reps with 60kg (warm up)
8 reps with 95kg
6 reps with 95kg
5 reps with 97.5kg
3 reps with 100kg
2 reps with 100kg


Lying Tricep Extensions

8 reps with 48kg
6 reps with 48kg
5 reps with 48kg
3 reps with 50.5kg


Tonights workout was'nt too bad. Although my thumb was still hindering me when getting the bar into position for tricep extensions.

Also did 30 minutes at a steady pace on my exercise bike this morning.

This evening i worked my biceps.


Barbell Curls (EZ bar)

30 reps with just the bar (warm up)
9 reps with 50.5kg
8 reps with 50.5kg
6 reps with 53kg
5 reps with 55.5kg
2 reps with 58kg


Seated Alternate Dumbell Curls

7 reps with 24kg
5 reps with 24kg
4 reps with 24kg
4 reps with 24kg


Tonights workout was ok. Got more volume tonight which was what i wanted.

Did'nt do any cardio today and i won't do any more untill next week.

good stuff noname. do you still get a pump from that rep range. i really enjoy that feeling i dont think i could train without a good pump.

Tonight the pump was more during EZ bar curls than the dumbells.

I've decided im going to aim for starting sets of around 10 reps then pyramid down the reps and up the weight. Pretty much what im already doing, but i feel i will benefit more from having some sets in a higher rep range rather than all sets at 5 reps or less.

Nice lifts with the curls mate!

Nice work mate as usual
