No.13's training.

Heh, bit of mis-matched, was trying a different approach Last time was 5x5

This time: 8, 3, 6, 3, 4, 1

Odd ey.

Did that 3rd set see a little leg hitching LOL or was that when you took most of that 4'59 up while resting

Haha, not at all! Chins today actually felt great. I did the 8, had about 20secs rest then 3 more... About 60secs rest then 6 more. 40secs rest, 3 more. About 80secs rest then 4 and so....

Rest times were staggered. I may try a more conventional 3x8 or 4x6 next week.

oooh, check you out mr 5 star 1000 posts.

Let me do the honours for you

Heh cheers mate, but I think that thread died a death long before it started.

I'm not 'down' with the GSP. (General Section Possee).

LOL, no shame there. If you were you'd have about 10,000 more posts but due to me having had to lock half of them you'd miss the pleasure of my posting in your journal

I'll spent the next month bumping it until it goes to a second page

It's obviously quality not quantity eh! This way I get to attract a more sophisticated clientele *ahem*...

Average session today. I've had a pretty hectic week so far, late nights/early mornings trying to meet deadlines etc. As a result a cold has finally caught up with me and felt pretty rotten this morning. My nose managed to expel a ridiculous amount of mucus it was scary. I'm ashamed to say I think I took things abit easier today...

**The 85 overhead was meant to be a strict PB attempt. My mind wasn't on the ball at all and ended up pushing pressing it. 85x1 PP is lame, hence why I then pushed 2 more out. Bit crap but what the heck. Hoping to manage a 50kg x 1 DB PP over Xmas/new years, see how I cope.

I got 80kgx1 for PP'ing on monday.

Does that make me lame?

Ahum... er, yeah but you squat for sets of 15, so it all balances itself out

LOL.... you going for a pair of 50kg DB PP that'll be pretty impressive. Solid session tho, there's a lot going about, sniffing like a good'un myself

No.13

Not now you don't I'm in here.

Do you do your Dbell Ppressing one arm at a time?

DV. Pair of DB's? No ****ing chance

T0NY, cheers for popping by. I've only done DB PP'ing once before and it's single arm. In no way would I have the co-ordination to do two. 50kg is very much a conservative goal, but therefore achievable! Anything more is a bonus.

Don't worry though, your 77kg PB will be safe

Decided to go with a fairly simple 4day split when I go home for xmas.

Or something along those lines anyway!

Looks fine mate, should keep things ticking over

Haha **** yeah. Great session. Weight this morning was 14st 8lbs! 1 stone lighter than my summer weight, with no loss of strength (makes you wonder what that 1stone was made of). I'm not actually trying to lose weight so I hope this trend doesn't continue

I've just realised that it's been 6days since I last trained, been pretty busy with work etc. So today was spent experimenting with PP-ing technique.

Done and dusted in about an hour. Very happy with PP. It was only a couple of weeks ago I failed 95x1. Last time I hefted 95kg over my head I was a stone heavier so feeling rather chuffed with myself Aim was for two, but everything seemed so right. Had 4-5minute rest, the beat to my song I was listening to was just kicking in, NO Xplode was obivously just kicking in. It all seemed so perfect.

Well done, mate, very nice lifting.... but of course I now officially hate you and cannot believe I even started a thread in Gen for your 1000th post - bastard!!!!

Quite a lot of build up work to it too, making it more impresive TBH. A good way to round off to your year

Cheers matey am pretty made up tbh. The last week has seen me mostly glued to my laptop and my head in books. My eating was pretty poor over the weekend too and I didn't have high hopes. But this was my last OH barbell session for a while so am very happy with how it went. I just kept thinking of what Tony said, "jumping with weights", seemed to do the trick... even though I did smash the ceiling at one point.

Your still allowed to smash me on benching, deadlifting, squatting... so let me have my moment

Or you can use this to spur yourself on for your next session?

And we don't talk about that thread... Lead balloon anyone?

LOL - the 'thread that never was' thread

I'm PPing tomorrow, got my usual BBall game tonight tho and that never leaves me in the best physical nick for standing OH work. Fingers crossed tho.... and don't forget, I've got a stone on you so I really don't have any excuse
