thanks guys. and lol xiva, ure a little hardass arent ya? i cant set pbs every session, i did what i could that day with the prescribed weight
todays session.
5/3/1: Cycle 7: Week 1: Day 2:
5 minutes on the row machine as warmup.
Deadlifts:
3 warmup sets
140kgx5
160kgx5
180kgx7 fucking grip gave out, damnit.
Assistance work:
3 sets of Barbell lunges
4 sets of GHR's
2 sets of Stepups
3 sets of Roman Chair situps
ok session, however, the grip issue on the deads annoyed the hell out of me. i noticed already on the first set with 140 kg that grip was gonna be a problem. my forearms pumped up right away. also noticed a dull pain in my left forearm. starting to wonder if i have a pinched nerve or something there. hope it subsides and doesent become a problem.
Great workout mate. Grip's a bitch, i'm the same as you. It's funny cos we have big forearms and mine are strong because ive been testing them at uni on a device but the thing is they pump up like fuck causing a build up of lactic acid and i just have to let it go, same with you. Whats helped a little with me, is ive been holding the bar where my fingers meet my palm, instead of in my palm. Looking forward to your upcoming weeks as ever pal. Train hard
Nice glute session Bulk Lunges are one of the most hard exercises for me, much more than squats...I don't know why, but it is. Never did stepups, must provide a nice glute pump hehe just kidding bro.
BTW dead is fineee!
thanks guys ye ive kinda been slacking on the grip training.
here is todays session.
5/3/1: Cycle 7: Week 1: Day 3:
5 minutes warmup on row machine+ some rotator cuff rotations.
Bench press:
3 warmup sets
85kgx5
97.5kgx5
110kgx7 dunno whats happend to my bench. ive done this weight for 10 reps. today 7 was heavy. if it doesent show sign of improvements during this cycle ill have to consider changing approach.
Strange, after a deload you should be stronger, but it can be just a bad day...110 for 7 is still a good number, but I know when progress doesn't come...next week you have a mission on BP!!!
Hmm, thats strange. Sorry to hear that, i know its frustrating when uve done something before and all of a sudden you can't. 110 x 7 is still a great set. Like you said, keep an eye on it and if it doesn't improve, change it up a little.
Didn't you do really low rep before?
- It takes the body a while, to get used do doing low/high rep, if it's used to the opposit. Might just be a bad day, you'll have it next time!
You might have just had an off day, or week, or a couple of weeks. If it keeps on going just reset your max. Calculate you 1RM from your best rep max and then start all over again.
thanks for all the support my brothers of iron and freako, u have a point. i just have to see how it goes next week and then take it from there. thanks for the advice
