good luck mate, sounds like you're progressing already if your not sure about form on certain excercises just search on google, that what i did for example, put in "how to do a flat dumbell press" and loads come up, some with vids

keep up the work mate you'll get there in the end

ironaddictryan -> RE: tris's journal (Aug. 29 2007 18:54:37)
whats your nutrition plan best way to gain strength is to eat loads...

tristram -> RE: tris's journal (Aug. 29 2007 19:03:05)
quote: ORIGINAL: ironaddictryan whats your nutrition plan Big Les designed me an eating plan i think i am gaining strength a lot. for example my deadlift is up 7.5kg in a week, i dont know how that compares to others but to me im quite happy with it.

tristram -> RE: tris's journal (Sep. 14 2007 12:33:52)
im sure no one reads this but im updating my lifts anyway, coming to the end of week 7, been on a mild cut since i started. Dead lift 8 x 92.5 8 x 92.5 8 x 92.5 assisted Chins 8 x 35 8 x 35 8 x 35 bb row 8 x 35 8 x 35 8 x 35 db row 8 x 15 8 x 15 8 x 15 bb curls 8 x 27.5 8 x 27.5 8 x 27.5 concentration curl 8 x 12.5 8 x 12.5 8 x 12.5 incline bench db 8 x 17.5 8 x 17.5 8 x 17.5 flat bench db 8 x 20 8 x 20 8 x 20 shoulder press db 8 x 27.5 8 x 27.5 8 x 27.5 assisted dips 8 x 25 8 x 25 8 x 25 squat 8 x 70 8 x 70 8 x 70 stiff leg dead lift 8 x 90 8 x 90 8 x 90 calf raises (machine) 15 x 88 15 x 88 15 x 88 leg extension (super slow) 8 x 88 8 x 88 8 x 88 last 2 weeks has been incredibly difficult for some reason. some sessions i do really badly but other sessions the weights fly up. i was impressed my flat bench went up as it was stuck for weeks, chest is still sore 2 days later :) ive realised if i wanna get anywhere with increasing calf raises i just gotta force my self to lift more everytime. the lactic acid buildup is extremely painful but its the only way to increase weight. deadlifts are suffering latley due to a pulled upper trap about 2 weeks ago and grip being less than helpful also. on rows and curls im swapping between db and bb, some days i just hate barbells

Hey fella, Good luck with the journal, Goood to see a beginners journal, they make the best progress [;)] If i can help ya with anythin, just let me know. Scotty

tristram -> RE: tris's journal (Sep. 14 2007 18:04:13)
thanks for the offer, if i come up against any problems i will let you know. did legs today and it went flawlesly. got sldl upto 95 with no major grip problems except the last few reps, and my squats went upto 75. its starting to be a psychological battle with deadlifts now. before i start i get anxious about how heavy its gonna be but once i overcame it and got lifting i knocked the sets out perfectly. nearly fell backwards when i was unloading the bar for squats too, kinda scary but you live and learn :)

Scotty2Hotty -> RE: tris's journal (Sep. 14 2007 18:22:05)
Good work fella. Good to see you have a goal as well, Jason Statham has a great look, and achievable too! Put your stats from todays workout up! Scotty

tristram -> RE: tris's journal (Sep. 14 2007 18:40:13)
todays work out - SLDL 8 x 95kg 8 x 95kg 8 x 95kg squats 8 x 75kg 8 x 75kg 8 x 75kg calf raises (using a machine) 15 x 97kg 15 x 97kg 15 x 97kg they hurt like **** leg extensions 8 x 97kg 8 x 97kg 8 x 97kg i do these as slow as possible. i noted this week my back didnt get knacked from the sldl, which suprised me as the last 2 weeks its really hurt. not sure what changed but my form is definatley right. knees slightly bent, quite close together, arms next to thighs. i was wondering if i could have some critique on my legs too, bit hairy i know before you say it :) they both look the same but its hard getting a pic of both together

tristram -> RE: tris's journal (Sep. 17 2007 18:38:30)
quite the session today, it all started a bit upside down though. someone had knicked the olympic bar so i couldnt start on deadlifts as usual. Week 8 Pull concentration curl 8 x 12.5kg 8 x 12.5kg 8 x 12.5kg assisted chins 8 x 30kg 8 x 30kg 8 x 30kg db row 8 x 15kg 8 x 20kg 8 x 20kg shurgs 8 x 40kg 8 x 40kg 8 x 40kg + what the trap bar weighs (no idea) and now the big boasting one deadlifts 100kg i was left with euphoric sensations for about 5-10 mins after. i started with 8 reps at 95, it should of been 97.5 but there was no more plates. well the plates came available so i cranked up and then thought IM GONNA DO IT. so i loaded it up 100kg. i lost grip at 6 reps but i expected that, but i managed to go the full 8 reps. it still felt easy and if it wasnt for the grip i think i could of done more. sorry for boasting, but im rather proud of my self at the minute. i could boast to friends and family but they have no idea what it means to get to 100kg :) thought id update with 2 months progress [image]http://img212.imageshack.us/img212/3563/comparisonnk1.jpg[/image]

Scotty2Hotty -> RE: tris's journal (Sep. 18 2007 13:31:08)
Definately some progress going on there!!! When you post your routine for what you did at the gym, make it simpler to read like in mine or anyone elses so we can see how many sets n reps you've done and what weight, much easier to judge your progress that way. Well done on the deadlifting. Scotty

tristram -> RE: tris's journal (Sep. 18 2007 13:34:12)
Thanks for your input scotty. i realise now its probably not too easy to read, and i know people sometimes just wanna glance at something and move on. push day tomorrow, i will sort it out from there. id also like to add the shrugs have given me some awful DOMS today :)

Saw all your posts in that nutrition section thread, felt bad so thought I'd come check in haha[;)] How's things mate? My Constructive Comment - Why are your exercises in that order on the pull workout?

My Constructive Comment - Why are your exercises in that order on the pull workout? lol :) when i read TTs guide for basic hypertrophy that was the order they are listed in so i usually follow them in that order. except the last sessions where i did it back to front. would you recommend a different order?

theiopener -> RE: tris's journal (Sep. 19 2007 10:14:06)
You have some decent legs, not too s kinny as it goes Looking forward to seeing your progress on the whole mate. I know calf raises on a machine hurt like hell, try doing 25 reps like i do, the pain in unbelievable!

tristram -> RE: tris's journal (Sep. 19 2007 14:31:19)
did push today, bit crap to be honest but push is my least favourite and i always suck at it incline db bench press 8 x 20kg 8 x 20kg 7 x 20kg flat db bench press 5 x 22.5kg 5 x 20kg 5 x 17.5 seated bb shoulder press 8 x 30kg 7 x 30kg 8 x 30kg i assume it was 30kg, there was no sticker on but it had an extra disc on compared to 27.5 skull crushers 4 x 10kg 4 x 10kg 4 x 10kg incredibly difficult! sadly the barbells dont go lower than 10kg so i couldnt even try a lighter weight. assisted dips (bars spun in close) 8 x 20 8 x 20 8 x 20 after i got to 6 reps each time i had to rest a bit before another go is there a different tricep isolation i can do except skull crushers? being that difficult it seems pointless just being able to do 4 reps, or am i wrong?
