Yeeeeeeaaah Buddy- dave's log

Hmm, not a bad idea. I've never done them, but may give them a try when I'm back with my barbell. If I am to enter a bench comp sometime next year then I think I may throw in a couple band press/floor press cycles into my training. I've tried board presses before and got alot from them, they're just abit awkward to set up when training solo.

Give it a try mate, you ll never know unless you give it a reasonable swing. Personally I wont stay with floor press or rev band for over three weeks going heavy because they tend to start to **** me up a little after that. 

If you re going to rotate your main pressing exercise then id perhaps suggest using full range benching, floor pressing, incline and rev band

One week today until I can put more than BW through my knee again (ie squat). Ive been really careful with it this week so as to put no extra pressure on the tendon but I feel like I should get it moving about a bit now. Im going to stat doing a few BW squats every day and some mobility and see how it handles it. If I can do 10 squats pain free today, I ll do 20 tomorrow etc etc.

Bench, bands and floor presses I can do, incline however I can't! I'll see what happens anyway.

Hope the knee sorts itself out bud.

What ive always done is bench first but varied the intensity accordingly and changed up the main assistance lift, rather than rotating exercises Westside style. Im sure either way works!

Just been for an hours walk. Knee ****ing loved it.

Good news.

Looking at MP now, £3.50 for straps. And am going to give liquid chalk a try too. Fed up of having my living room covered in chalk.

Liquid chalk is good stuff mate and a pair of straps will last ****ing ages as you wont use them much. both good investments!

bw squat........x 10  











BOOOOOOOM!

Considering your post-Xmas fatboy weight, 10 BW reps is no mean feat. Big up yerself!!!!

Only 85kg today 

Some squatting is surely better than no squatting Dave. Besides, if starting low results in a full recovery for your knee, definately worth it?

Yep week today Im back in the game so I ll squat twice that week, up to 60-80, then 80-100, week after 100-120, 120-140 then crack on. Or get the other knee roided up...either or!

Mate pump those knees full of whatever you can

I will mate, steroids are ****ing legendary it seems. Been in london doing PhD research today. Ive learnt that everyone who uses public transport in london is a ****ing total ****face arsehat ****face wankstain

Well be greatfull that you don't have to use it everyday!

I do mate. Public transport is ****ing horrible and ****ing expensive. A return from my house at home (hampshire) to greenwich cost 42 quid! its only a ****ing hour and a half in the car!

Thats why i moved out of London!
