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

Dead to me!

haha.... noooooooooooooooo

dont be like tha.. i promise it wont happen again!! :-( haha..

mate seriously tho, DOH on this Eleiko bar is no easy feat at all fella..

Were did you order your acai berry from mate? Wouldnt mind giving it a go..

 Holland and barret have it for 10 quid, 120 capsules 500mg, You rekon its worth a try?

the holland and barrett one isnt pure Acai berry mate. i did a bit of research first cos a few things i found were that companies were selling it as '500mg', yet the ratio was like 4:1 or something, so there was probs like 125mg in it. i got mine from healthspark. its pure acai berry, 500mg, £17 for 120 caps..
heres the link mate
and ur in luck cos theyre havin a march sale..

acai berry

Nope, I've still not forgiven you yet. This may take a while for me to get over....longer than when my ex cheated on me

no worries dude..
DV.. no, ur not allowed to fall out with me as ur pretty much the only regular traffic i get in here! :-( haha..

Did someone say something

But assuming my leg and adductor are OK tomorrow I will be DLing DOH with no straps!
 
I was about to order that Acai stuff then just remembered I've got to get L-Glut and whey, plus it's the Mrs 40th, and I've just wasted £20 on ebay getting various bits for my boy so I'm not sure I'll have even a spare £15 this month. I have favourited the link tho so hopefully I'll remember at the end of the month if I have some spare cash

nice one.. yeh when ya can, try it out mate. theres another one now with even more antioxidants and aminos in called maqui berry.. may try that next

r u doing i bodybuilder??? how's it? i tried reading but too much info and not enough time

hey there my pedigree chum

sorry to hear you and the lass went tits up, hope your dry spell isnt a long one, let facebook by thy friend

I havent been popping in as much as i should, things are nuts right now and i find myself less in the journo section

no wories at all fella..
yeh was a shame with the ex.. great girl.. seein her tonight tho. me and some mates are goin to see annie mac play her radio 1 set live in town so i invited her along.. no point in stopping ourselves from havin a good friendship as shes a crackin girl and great to be around..

dyskee- yeh its the i, bodybuilder thing. but im not following the routine he outlined.. too many supersets which would have me running all over the gym and just wouldnt be feasible wat so ever. but im puttin the theory of training submaximal weights 'explosively' to the test and it seems to be working. strength is on the increase and the workouts are real enjoyable. although i do think that musckle endurance will suffer as im rarely going above 3 reps. haah..
ur right, there's a lot of info on the site, but the videos make it so much easier to follow and the 'theory' itself is very simple once u see it put into practice. just another way of skinning a cat really..

just another way of skinning a cat really

you can't say that in front of me

haha, mate im a cat man too.. i'd never ever harm a cat.. i love them mate! :-) haha

ok, so dint train after my 2nd sesh last week. few things to do and a night out which ut me out of action for the weekend. but training tonight .
will be upper 2 that i missed last week. so this week will start with upper 2, then lower 2.. things will continue like this unless i miss another sessin etc.
tonight-
Incline rack bench
bench
Seated DB shoulder press
power upright rows *supersetted* Deadstop DB laterals
may finish with some pushdowns too.

update later on.

What are 'Power Upright Rows'? Seeing people do regular upright rows makes me shudder (bad shoulder history), so to me 'power' upright rows just sound insane!

just with a bit of leg drive and hip thrust etc..
yeh they acn be nasty but u.rows seem ok for me

Almost a hang clean then? I'd imagine the added leg drive would actually take take a little stress off the shoulders - altho you would obviously have more weight to compensate tho.

well yeh, more weight, plus i try hold the bar at the top of the movement for a second, which is quite difficult when powering it up :-)
does seem to take a little stress off the shoulders to be honest..

ok, today-

Incline Rack bench- 3's (done in singles) 10s rest between each.
105kx3
115kx3
125kx3 -- up 5k on each set.

Bench-1, 3, 1, 3, 1, 3, max
125x1, 3
135x1, 3
145x1, 1+ 2 spotted. too heavy, however up 5k on the first 2 sets so overall load increase this week :-)
105x12 - up 5k on last week here for same reps.

Seated DB shoulder press- 1, 3, 1, 3- max
36x1, 3
44x1, 3
32x11

Power upright rows **supersetted** DB deadstop lateral raise
50 x 5                       // 12k DB's x 5 * 3 sets
55x5
60x5

finished with some pushdowns.

good session. would have really liked the 145k bench, however, i went heavier on inclines, and moved the pins down a notch so incorporated more chest in it, and overall load was increased on the bench so all wasnt lost :-)

had a think over the weekend. and im thinkin id like to give a powerlifting comp a go in the near future. probably something raw as im not shelling out on a bench shirt and squat suit etc etc.
i know ive said something along these lines before, but i really fancy it.. not sure when but i mean my routine at the mo is veyr much strength oriented also so no need to switch it up yet.

but when i do, was thinkin of something like

Back squats
bottom position (from pins) front squats
some accessory lifts

Bench
Incline bench work
Some form of upper back row

Deads
good mornings
ham curls

OHPP or strict press
CGBP
Chins/ pull ups

some curls and pushdowns will be thrown in on the upper days too.
anyway, really quite fancy it so will see what happens. plus i really wanna get back into deadlifting again, and i really wanna get myu back squat up, plus it will force me to start stretching again.
