Rocky's Log - King of the Jim

[Samoan-Z]

You'll get back to it Rocky, persistance and comitment wins the long race.

Thanks for the motivation fellas. A couple of days ago I had another session and it was poor. I had a look through my log book and found I am actually weaker than I was 18 months ago in a couple of the big lifts. This was more than a little depressing. I had 2 weeks off and came back to be THAT far back!! I know I go up and down and I have to accept that but to take that sort of a knock put me pretty much to the point of just knocking the whole thing on the head.

I went in yesterday and it was better. Felt better about it all. Thankfully. Hopefully it'll pick up.

There ya go! just keep hittin the gym and it will all be good in no time!

 

[miamiracing]

keep your head up man, you'll be back at your old strength in no time.. just take care of your back and everything will come automatically

I suffered too from a severe back injury a couple of years ago.
I felt like complete shit, but I still kept on training.
you can do it!

Sorry to hear that Rocky
Hopefully you are back at 100% soon

 

[Samoan-Z]

Don't feel down rocko, it happens gotta get up there and get back to it don't let it fall further.

 

[Samoan-Z]

Rocky? you still training?

 

[DriDDeRz]

Rocky is most likely busy with Police work.............. sitting at the desk or in his car eating donuts

Hope things are safe and well bro

 

[El Freako]

Time to come out of retirement and make Rocky Balboa...

 

[Rocky]

^You could be right sir....


Well I've managed to pull myself away from donuts for a bit and have been training and it is actually going ok.

Repping with 400lb on deads again.

A PB for reps on squat with 165kg (365lb) x 8 - adjusted the position of the bar on my back and it feels much better and strength output seems to have improved.

And using 120kg (265lb) on free bar bench for reps (more weight on smith when I use it).

So I may have to start posting proper sessions again soon and checking out how everyone else is doing!

Great work Rocky, it seems many of us are currently undergoing 'reinventions' of sorts.

 

[DriDDeRz]

Glad to see some great progress rocky and congrats on the P.B's bro

[Lionheart]

Nice squats Rocco.Good to see you back logging.

 

[Rocky]

Thanks fellas.

Well training is still going reasonably well.

Highlights include:

Squat: 175kg (385lb) x 4, 180kg (400lb) x 2 - (with aching lower back)
Dead: 190kg (420lb) x 4

So hoping this continues.
