[Pickle]

thanks kr,rock,turk and bulkboy for the comments. Its rewarding to know im taking you guys with me through this shit training phase and ill get through it cause of you guys .


7-8-07 All body
Front squats
100kg*5
90kg*6 (had to take weight down)
70kg*6 (had to take weight down)

The weight itself wasnt hard it was just trying to keep the damn bar on my shoulders. the first set it wasnt comfortable the 2nd set i finished the 6th rep with the bar sitting on my forearms... and the 3rd set i scaled it back to try OL style front squats. Fuck that hurt my wrists... lol I definately need to do that style more tho its much easier to keep it up that way.

One legged stiffies
3 sets of 10 with 20kg
such a great exercise. I was a little wobbley balance wise first set but last 2 sets were much smoother. Some of you might raise eyebrows but i want to make it a staple.

Supine grip bent over row superset with weighted pushups
100kg 3 sets of 8
Me+25kg 3 sets of 8

Burnout barbell shrugs 70kg * 40 reps immediately followed by
3 sets of 10 on 10kg dumbells for side raises

One arm dumbell overhead superset with one arm hammer curl3 sets of 10 on 10kg

That was it. Just really taking bearings at this stage of where im at and I cant wait to get my front squat comfortable I love that move when i do it well.

 

[Rageking]

nice session, one leg stifs are good move i like em too

and definatly O-style on front is better.

 

[Rocky]

Looks good to me. Those rows are damn strong.

 

[Bulkboy]

GOOD MORNINGS
Pretty much the only reason Why i wanted to do a session was to do these.
70kg by 12 reps for 4 sets.

I had to put "i come from a land down under" on the old wireless to be able to do the good mornings today they were way tougher then the other day infact everything was hard today cept i did get a few extra sets in so thats gotta count for something

still haven't started the new program yet. xoxoxoxo

 

[Clint]

looking forward to when you start the new program

at least you had the courage to post those squat numbers, probably because we all know you can squat well over 120kg on squats anyway

nice militaries, and nice supersetts with teh guns

 

[Turkish1530]

still looking good pickle, i need to get back into either chins/pullups i haven't done them in soooo long....mayb a new workout will be good, so let us know what ur thinking

 

[Bulkboy]

that session is looking good picle, cant wait to c u start up that new program, keep us updated bro

 

[Peanut!!]

ive been doing front squats lately pickle because i get aggravated doing regular i pack the shits cause i still can not squat comfortable where as fronts are easier. are you going to change your grip as you mentioned or are sticking with it across your shoulders? whatever you do man let me know i will be interested to see what happens.

 

[Rageking]

good solid session, and what happend with tri ext?

 

[Pickle]

Peanut- Will do. I hate the wrist position of the olympic front squat i decided so Ill just do arms crossed sitting it on my delts with less weight until i master it.

rageking- I wish I knew mate Just too much time without training and now im king soft

^bump. So the pickle is sick of being a fat slob. I put together like one session every now and then. I just fall off the wagon and am constantly in danger to do it agian. To try and rectify my shitness im going to start posting my sessions up. lololol. This year I have been more frequent with my training then last year but definately not regular to at least 3 times a week sometimes with work and laziness id only end up doing 3 times a month (actually to think of it sometimes worse) But my plan is to post in my log everyday to keep my motivation going. Im on the mecca every day so I may as well get some balls and post in here. My new motivation is to perhaps try to beat skeptic in his first natty comp( Whenever that may be). He lol'd at me when I told him id never finished higher then last. Ill show him.

Currently I am doing a split style

1 Back/shoulders
Weighted chins 7-9 sets of 4 reps
Incline dumbell row 4 sets of 12 reps
Military press 4 sets of 12 reps
2 Legs
Barbell calf raise 4 sets of 12 reps
Goodmornings 4 sets of 12 reps
Squats 1 set of 20 reps
3 Chest and arms
Olympic dumbell incline bench 7-9 sets of 4 reps
Weighted dips 4 sets of 12 reps
Arm curls (whatever lulz)
4 off
5 repeat

todays session
week 1 day 2 (literally the second time ive done legs in 2 months the last time alls i did was step ups lulz)

Standing calf raises Warmups then, 4 sets 12 reps 60kg
Good mornings Warmups then, 4 sets of 12 reps 60kg
Back squat Warmups then, 1 set of 20 reps 100kg

Bit of a feeler session chaps. Yes Im a pussy but im working on it. Fuck the squats killed me.

Post workout nutrition- 9 weetbix, how many do you do?

p.s now ill have more insentive to run around to your logs too and will do so now
