Yeeeeeeaaah Buddy- dave's log

Do I need to make my above humorously editted quote bold in order to gain a cheap laugh??

LOL missed that. In all honesty im doubtful that either of them have a penis though!

I definitely think that keeping this journal on MT has had an impact upon the consistency of my training, thanks for turning me onto it. Now I need to start adding some multimedia!

Definitely need some video evidence of these behemoth-esque lifts. Not that I'd doubt you for a second, I'm just keen to see what a proper gym looks like!!

haha, well my gf got me a digital camera for my birthday so once my exams are over on Thursday I ll take some pictures of the weights room. Hopefully find some decent lifts to film as well.

How long are you doing 10x3 btw? I ll be making a few trips back home to drop stuff from uni off in the next few weeks so which days are you training atm too?

3 more weeks of this and then I'll decide whether to do my 20 rep/EDT style/giant set/complex routine or carry on with the 10x3.

Training days are scheduled for Mon, Weds, Fri because I'm finding it difficult to get round to weekend training. Happy to do something different though if you're around.

That could work since monday=RE Upper, wed= ME Lower, fri=ME Upper for me. I ll let you know if im coming back, potentially could be next week sometime. Guess we could go and scope out Kings?

Deal.

ME Lower

Box squat-

bar x 8, 8
60kg x 5
100kg x 3
140kg x 1
160kg x 1- equal PR (hard)
165kg x 1- 5kg PR (better)
170kg x 1- 10kg PR (pinned to the box, took a second then powered it up).

RDL-

80kg x 12
90kg x 12
110kg x 8

Good session, happy with a 10 kg PR since I wasnt feeling amazing. More happy with regaining the squatting bragging rights from Lord Monkcheese!

I think the smiley you're looking for is this one -

Must be something in the water down there in Exeter. Another awesome 10kg increase on a lift.

You've got to try a 3 plate bench now if only to completely humiliate me!!!!

Lol we ll see what next week brings. I finish my exams tomorrow so i ll be having a few days of celebrating id imagine, so no ME upper this week (maybe a good idea anyway after the push pressing) but back on with RE on sunday.

As soon as I hit 3/4/5 plates the next goal is a 200kg squat...

Finished my degree yesterday so I had a few quiet pints, quickly followed by a number of noisy ones. No training today as im hanging out my arse!

Wow - quite an historic day then. You are officially no longer a student

Well done matey. Is it weeks or months before you get official notification of your 2:1?

Couple of weeks I think. No more tax dodging for me! Until next year...lol. Im not feeling too hot now though, just had a KFC so hopefully i ll improve soon.

Went kicking for about 2 hours today and played touch for an hour as well. Going to hit up some ME Upper action tomorrow lunchtime before the premiership final. Aiming to get the 50's for at least 9.

10 would be better. 9 is such an insignificant number. Plus 10 would equal my PB so you may as well complete the hat trick of Push/Pull/Legs PBs.

I ll do my best. 10 would be awesome. If I hit 10 I might be able to get the 55s up also.

'ME Upper' / wank load of toss

Dumbell press-

50kg x 7, sacked off the session right there. Did a few face pulls and left. Left elbow really hurting again for some reason.

Im going to go in tomorrow and do a few front squats, possibly hit a light re upper on monday and then back to ME lower on wed.

RE lower-

Back squat, high bar, shoulder width stance.

bar x loads
60kg x 10
80kg x 10
100kg x 10, 10, 10

Pleased with that. Every week im going to add 5 kg to the weight and see how long I can still complete 3x10.

RE Upper...

Shrug (double overhand)

60kg x 15
100kg x 12
120kg x 10
140kg x 5

Tried to press the 7.5kg dumbells to warm up but my elbow wasnt having any of it. I think this injury may be around to stay for a while. Literally I cant even flex my arm right now without shooting pain into the base of my tricep. Bloody brilliant.

Did a bit of scap retraction stuff and some DB power cleans then left. Not pleased at all.

That's a bit lame. It's strange that you can press maximal weights for a few weeks then BAM it gets fcuked. It seems to be all or nothing.
Hopefully resting will sort it out, albeit temporarily but this has been going on for a while now.
I wonder who would be best to look at it?
