Yeeeeeeaaah Buddy- dave's log

Lord Monkcheese


Have a good session tomorrow chaps. Normally I'd jump at the chance of training with a couple of fine lifters as yourselves but at this point in time, I really couldn't give a rat's ass about training!!!

Dave - you getting any grief yet from the Nazi's in the gym?

Only problem im having mate is people asking where you are!!! No other issues yet. I think the new manager is pretty chilled out, although im yet to train when only fatarse is on duty.
 
No chance you want to train zee gunz tonight is there?

No

Lol fair enough. On the plus side you wont be subjected to Iain's underwear again tomorrow!

I fear you may get subjected to more than just a glance of his underwear in his quest to curry favour with the MT members in exchange for their votes for the MT All Rounder Member of the Year.

You have been warned!!!

Too late, voted already!! SO KEEP YOUR TROUSERS ON IAIN!

Well it depends who you voted for;

Me; then its trousers of to celebrate

Someone else; then it's trousers off for punishment



.... you can see where this is heading.

Gona ask nicely if I can borrow my misses new camera to get some vids tom.

You ll be in for a treat, im going to work up to a 3rm of 140kg id imagine!!
 
And I did vote for you, so I dont want to see any form of underwear. Commando is also not cool!

Unfortunatly I'll be wearing my deadlift suit so some 'knicker' action will be unavoidable!

Lol excuses, excuses!!!
 
What are you planning to do tomorrow? Deadlift, block pull ???

Deadlift up to some singles, 225,250,270?
Down sets 220x3?
Block pulls

Sound good to you? We'll try an pull on a texas power bar which should be nice.

My deadlifting has been **** recently. I ll head up to 210 for a single then see how hard it was. If its easy (should be) I ll head 220. I wanna pull 235 really but im unsure it ll happen!
 
All sounds good to me.
 
Ive been having crazy thoughts about doing snatch grip deads on a small block wearing oly shoes so I can set up better...what do you think?
 

Sounds like madness to me!!!!

(But WTF do I know anyway)

Lol ive tried them before and didnt like them because I couldnt get the start position well, wondering if oly shoes will help...
 
I also glanced back through an anciet log and discovered that when I squatted 140kg x 3 weighing like 72kg, i was lunging 110kg x 8...

I find looking back through my journal quite depressing as there have been times when I've had an awesome session and thought I lifted magnificently only to find it was 5-10% less than I'd previously done off-cycle

That's why when I start training again I'm just going to make up all the weights I use.....

Its not about the weight...its about feeling the muscle...hahahahahaha

Deadlift in southampton with Iain:
 
70kg x a few
120kg x 3
140kg x 3
160kg x 1
180kg x 1
200kg x 1
220kg x 1
220kg x 1
200kg x 2
200kg x 2
200kg x 2
 
Block pull mid shin
 
180kg x 2
200kg x 1
160kg x 3
 
Few pull downs and rows, done.
 
Good session, thank to Iain for inviting me along!

Good sess. You got plenty of heavy pulling in there.

It were alright yeah! I ll next pull at uni. Think I ll start light and work up over 5-6 weeks to try and double 220.

Good plan. Think roughly what you'd like to pull at the end of those 5-6 weeks ie 220x2 and work back to give you a rough plan. Below is a rough plan that I'd work to over 5 weeks to give you an idea the sort of thing I'd do. Off course you'll have a different idea and know you limits more (maybe lol).

155x5x5, 120x3x3
170x3x5, 130x3x3
185x2x3, 140x3x3
205x2, 120x3x3
220x2

You could then altenate between block pulls and snatch grip pulls as an assistance lift?

For the first few weeks deadlifting will be the 2nd exercise after squatting. I dont like pulling reps over a 5 really, especially as I think I need to sharpen up my technique a little so I think what I ll do based on that is:
 
155 5 x 3, 120 3 x 3
170 5 x 3, 130 3 x 3
190 3 x 2, 140 3 x 3
205 x 2, 120 3 x 3
220 x 2
