El Freako: Staying North of Vag

[El Freako]

Watch out that those heavy deadlifts don't break your hip... I know how brittle some of you older guys are.

And my brittle hips are deadlifting how much?

**** pressing day...

5/3/1: cycle 1, week 2
Bench Press
3 x 95kg
3 x 110kg
6 x 120kg
We've been forced to bench on a ****ty old "standard bench" with ridiculously close uprights so these were much more CG than I'm used to. And also my shoulder has been playing up since Sunday (for now apparent reason) so these combined to seriously limit my capabilities today.

Dips
3 x 10 x bw
Shoulder started aching badly after the 3rd set so I gave up.

Pullups
100 reps.

 

[Storm]

100 pullups? seriously?
Sad to hear about your shoulders, I hope they calm down soon and you start benching like the mad man you are.

I feel you with the crappy bench, i suffer the same shiit in my gym. Plus crappy bars and crappy everything. And it's the best gym for "serious" weightlifting around, go figure.

 

[El Freako]

Cheers for the encouragement mate.

where do you live? Spain or something? LOL

where do you live? Spain or something? LOL

Yes, and my city is full of shinny "Wellness centers" with huuuuuge instalations for areobox, aqua-salsa, technopilates and hyperyoga. Just don't ask for anything heavy.
Small "hood" gyms like mine are dissapearing and the ones that still exist cannot renew the equipement. It's a sad, sad world this one where saying "I go to the gym to do aqua-something" is ok and you get the funny looks if you go to a real gym to lift heavy stuff.

YOU + ME - AQUA-SALSA NOW!

 

[El Freako]

Its home gym time dude!

 

[Storm]

Its home gym time dude!

deadlift in a 6th floor?

Seriously, i wish someday I own a house (not a flat) just for that reason. Meanwhile i'm tied to commercial gyms.

YOU + ME - AQUA-SALSA NOW!

that would be within the gayness level of the activity. I doubt any attendant would be surprised, at all.

 

[Skeptic]

Despite the dodgy shoulder it was still a solid workout! My leg has been playing up again also... I'm gonna try lift through the pain this time, instead of bitching out.

 

[El Freako]

Squattin' today - quite successful really...

5/3/1: cycle 4, week 2
Squats
3 x 130kg
3 x 150kg
8 x 170kg Rep/Weight PR!!!
5 x 140kg
5 x 145kg
5 x 150kg
5 x 155kg
9 x 160kg Another Rep/Weight PR!!!

And out, solid session with PRs for both myself and Paz but restricted for time. Still haven't dragged the tire yet this week. I'm feeling kinda guilty about it but life keeps on getting in the way. Also figured that if I'm going to do 5x5 for assistance work I'm going to have to start with higher than 140kg from now on, its no longer 70% of my max I realised...

 

[Storm]

I love the smell of Squats PRs in the morning...

 

[Natzo]

great PR's bro, heavy weight for decent amount of reps. impressive.

 

[Till]

That's some damn fine squats, Freak. You're making Newton cry.

 

[El Freako]

Yeah, take that physics!

 

[ironheart]

euphoric session buddy! theres nothing like squat PR's

 

[El Freako]

Trained alone today and made it an in and out power session due to a late start. It all went pretty well despite it being hurried.

Nice session freako, sounds like fun.
