The Plugged One.. The 5 year, 200 page Journal!! Back On It!

The guy your referring to trained at the Spartan in Aberdeen for some time!

When I was at your gym I saw him press 180kilos for 5 good reps. That was the same night I saw the two PL'ers. Made my own gym look "so Graham Norton".

The big guy was known as "Howie".

Thats him mate, hes a beast.

And again.... ... BOOM

Another Benching PB, 145kg, dont know how much longer this can go on for I must be fairly close to my maximum but 150 is firmly in my sight now. Going to stick to reps at 120kg for the next 3 weeks and then go for it again.

Flat Bench - 100kg*8, 120*1, 130*1, 140*1, 145*1, 120*5, 120*4
incline Bench - 50*8, 70*8, 80*8
Pec Dek - 65*8, 70*8, 70*8, 70*8
tricep press - 80*8, 90*8, 100*6
tricep Pull down - 70*8, 92*8, 92*8, 92*8

back and bi's

deadlifts - 100*8, 140*4, 180*5 or 6 (lost count)
rows - 85*7, *6, *5, *5

too bloody hot in there.

On a side note my weight seems to have levelled off at 16.5 stone as usual.. 6 weeks in and the weight gain stops.. diet hasnt been the best tho.

Legs

squats - 60kg*8, 100*8, 140*8, 160*5
thigh raises - 4 sets of 10 at 100kg
leg curls - 4 sets of 8 at 70kg
calf raises - 4 sets of 8 at 90kg

Skipped shoulders again today... why... because my will power always seems strangely low when the suns out and the carry out shop is open. Bottle of tonic it was and caught soem rays. on the plus side it might help the acne on my back...grrrr

Well thats me out of NPP again so thats that. Im going to go against my own advice and ram up the sust 2 1g a week for the last 4 weeks and keep the var going. Basically so that I dont have any spare sust kicking about, might as well use it all up.

Great going, Im confident you have a 150 in the tank, Expecially with var running the system

Dammit I dropped the a'dex last week and tonight I find a little lump under my left nipple. I take it its the NPP thats done it because Ive never been troubled before. I have no other symptoms either, no puffiness or itchyness but Im on the nolva already, 60mg today and 40 from now on until it goes. Should I drop the rest of this cycle?

Actually I'll post this in the forum.

I have made a helpful post on the gyno issue in your other thread

I have been looking through your journal and I cant find any shoulder workouts / poundages. I am just interested in comparing them to mine and setting them against your benching which I think is impressive.

I havent done a great deal of shoulder workouts mate due to injury (and being lazy). Certainly no big weights on them anyway. Probably press 80kg out for a few reps on a BB shoulder press, only other things I do are shrugs (about 160kg) and upright rows(70kg).

Chest and tris today, not going for PBs for another couple of weeks yet so I was on the reps tonight, went well I think.

Flat bench - 100kg*12, 120*8, 120*5, 120*6
Incline bench - 50kg*8, 70kg*8, 80kg*8, 90kg*6
Pec Dek - 4 sets of 8 at 70kg
Tricep press - 8*80kg, 8*90kg, 5*100kg
Tricep Pull downs - 4 sets of 8 at 92kg.

8 reps at 120kg without a spotter was the highlight of the night, looking back Im pretty pleased.

Unrelated but I just saw batman begins and I thought it was sh1t hot.

Good lifts mate , I see your incline is getting up there.
I just saw War Of The Worlds and I thought it was pretty crap.

Dammit Pagan I wanted to see that, I thought it looked good, now youve got me in dissarray.

The special effects are impressive but that's about it, oh and it's a bit scary for a 12A. Not that I was scared coz I'm a double hard b*astard

Alrighty, Back and Bi's again (your probably spotting a pattern by now Im a creatur eof habit when it comes to the gym).

Deadlifts - 8*100kg, 6*140, 5*170, 3*190
Rows - 7*85kg, 6*85, 5*85, 3*85
Behind neck pull downs - 8*60kg, 8*85, 8*95, 5*100
In front "" - 4 sets of 8(ish) at 80 - 85kg
Hammer curls - 4 sets of 6 a side at 27.5kg.

Not a bad workout, spent ages over it though, to busy talking and lazing about.

Oh and Ive struggled another pound of weight on this week so if I can do that again over the next 3 weeks I'll be happy.

LEgs today again (and round and round we go....) Didnt do a great deal coz Im off to T in the Park on saturday and I dont want to be crawling around a field with dead legs when I could be crawling around a field with good legs.

Squats - 8*100kg, 6*140, 5*160
Thigh raises - 4 sets of 8 at 100kg
leg curls - 4 sets of 8 at 70kg
calf raises - 4 sets of 8 at 90kg

All I need now is to actually make it to the gym tomorrow for a shoulder workout and Im sorted.
