Nearly back.. Skinny/fat pics page 25!

Nice PPing and FSing. Stop being harsh on yourself, your arms arn't that bad!

Part 1 makes me happy. Part 2 makes me sad. Overall, I'm neutral about this workout.

Moderate work BB!

Good pb's on the deadlift and OH work.

Thanks fellas,

I have a rather embarassing admission to make.

I got a filthy, dirty, juicy pump on the bicep work and it was mildly enjoyable..

Cricket- expect more moderate workouts soon...

Ian- getting the license back in 2-3 weeks so will give you a shout.

Jimmy-

Arms have actually grown 1/4 inch since I last measured them... if only other bodyparts were so easy to add girth to lol.

Training at Muscleworks eh ? I used to read about that place in Flex years ago.It would be interesting to hear what it's like now.

Whats your front squat PB ?

Your lifting some nice numbers there mate!
Did you study in Manc then? I've been living in fallowfield for 3 years now, looking to get a place in the city now come september.

Good pal. In 2-3 weeks I'll be back to some decent poundages raw.

Pagan- Not actually training at MW yet, just thinking of moving to that area so thought i'd check it out... Genesis gym in West London takes some beating, some top guys down there!

Front Squat PB, think the heaviest i've been is 130kg x2 the other week, think 140kg may be there for a single at the mo.

No13- Yeah I was a student at Manchester, loved it, and would move back up given the chance, but career is in London for the foreseeable future. Where do you train?
 
Ian- Good stuff pal. Even if I don't have my bloody license back I can get a lift down with mum's bf who lives in Southampton.

In my first year (when I was only half arsed about training) I went to the Armitage/Sudgen occassionally, that summer I bought myself materials to build a rack and bought an olymipic weight set with a cheap bench.

So in my second I trained outside (in wind, rain, sleet, hail, occassionally sunshine). Third year I had a massive bedroom and kept it all in there This september I may be in a flat so could prove tricky. But I wouldn't be able to afford a gym membership either!

What about yourself, did you find a decent gym while up here? I know there's the olympic gym and adders, but I don't have my own transport.

Yeah I trained at Adders for my second and third year, didn't do that much training the first year.

Awesome gym, probably the most productive thing I did at uni lol.

Maybe see if you can go to Olympic or Adders once a week, better than nothing, you can get the train to Adders from Picadilly.

join sugden barbell 13 mate - loads of guys travel from manc to the oly gym on a regular basis

both adders and the oly are easy walking distance from their train stations

It's definately something to consider, cheers guys. Ill see what my numbers are like by the end of the summer, something abit more respectable I hope

Comment;

Good session. Pleased with the 90kg overhead, 100kg strict is where it's really at though. The single was a tough battle, so I'm going to get some work in now, 5x3 starting at 70kg, maybe less.

On another note, the amount of people who I only see training bench and biceps down the gym is quite scary, if that's what they want fair play though!

90kg you b@stard! Very impressive dipping with the 30k, one of the best exercises IMO.
 
How do you find DB skulls? I rate them over EZ skullcrushers personally.
 
Jimbo

Yes mate I was pretty happy with the 90kg overhead. 100kg doesn't seem too far away now (within a year hopefully) which is a long term target... Will be very happy when I reach that.

100kg strict doesn't have the same ring as a 140kg bench but is more impressive IMO, not many people can press 2 plates strict overhead.

I prefer close grip benching tbh, but dips are good and do not require a spotter.

Loving the db skulls, favourite isolation movement, don't seem to be able to go very heavy on them yet, but getting a good ROM and actually feeling the tricep working... Thanks for that exercise, I pinched it from your journal.

Spent the day doing CQC MA with my mate, was good fun.

Knackered now though.

Got that 90kg up strict! Good job.

Damn nice overhead!

Cheers Cricket, onwards and upwards (literally) now!
