Pickle's log - So sexy it hurts.

[Skeptic]

I'm on the quest to be the strongest Aussie on mecca as well big guy.... I'll fight you for the title

 

[El Freako]

Its an Aussie-off then!

Videos for proof boys.

 

[Skeptic]

The three of us can have a lift-off eventually... and Tim can do... well, whatever Tim does lol

 

[El Freako]

Should we start an Aussie-off thread?

 

[tim290280]

I'll do weighted chinups FTW.

Gimme a bit longer to get my hammys up and I'll see what I can do in a deadlift as well.

Sounds like a thread could be in order, if just to get flamed by Americans (it's ok as they aren't real people :gaysign.

Thursday 28th of may.
work shoes Squats
95kg 1set*20 reps
Leg curls
120p 4s*12r (usually do these before squats and they were brutal after)
Weighted chins
Me+12.5kg 3s*10r ( i think i actually did 11 or 12 sets i was alone in the gym and lost count in the narration of my mind)
Close grip barbell press
(this was so wtf. after warm ups i got on the bench went to lift the bar off the rack and it felt like 1000000kg i didnt even budge it. I was like wtf. I had to get up and have a look at the weight and make sure it was only 80kg anywho i put a bit more effort in unracking and off i went. in my last set i hit a mind hurdle as well it was weird. I usually limit the self talk when repping weights but i got to like number 3 rep and it was like all of a sudden i was in the wonder years narrating everything cept only in my mind "gosh this is hard, just imagine it is like pushing 110kg and you want to power that weight through the roof, rep 4 oh shit now it feels like 110kg, rep 5 why did i fucking think of 110kg, rep 6 this is going to get stuck on my chest with noone in the gym and ill have to do a situp... i fuckin hate situps, rep 7 oh yeah! two to go come on, rep 8 110!!!)
80kg 5s*8r (booya got that rep i missed last week, next week more weight:gaysign
Twisting torso one arm seated rows.
130p 3s*12r
Dumbell preacher curls
15kg 2s*8r

did 15 minutes of stretching and that was it. Felt like an awesome session. I love doing highrep squats and heavy chins on the same day it makes me feel like i did after catching my first pokemon. Except this pidgey i get to catch every thursday.

How do you warm-up for the bench?

How do you warm-up for the bench?

What i typed was a bit deceptive. I warm up for bench with bench and a few stretches.
