Tim's Journeyman Log

[Xiva]

OHP = Overhead press (Military press)

CoC = Captain of crushes (grip training)

Hey tim!

Do you mind run by my log and give me some advice at my DL/Bench/Squat - Got a few videos from the latest workout (high intensity)

 

[tim290280]

^^ Yeh I prefer to call it an OHP (overhead press) because I don't have the roof height to do a strict military press. So instead I have a stride position with my feet, which I prefer anyway, just alternate which leg is the leading leg.

^^ I probably had another 1 or 2 in me but I was getting dizzy. The second set of boxies I had the shakes and was dizzy. Wasn't psyched up for the session so wouldn't be surprised if it was just blood pooling or low blood pressure.

[_ROBERTiNHO_]

Good benching and great row! Considering also the thick bar.

 

[tim290280]

Natzo: Bands are great. All I can say about them is; GET SOME. You will not regret it.

Pickle: So you're saying that we are evenly matched; aside from the height advantage you have, and the weight advantage you have, and the general sexiness advan..........

Lionheart: I'm hating reps on squats. I get so out of breath doing them, and unlike deadlifts the weight is still on the shoulder so they just kill me. But I suck at them so going to keep doing them and become a man.

Rob: Thick bars are great tools. I made mine, but I saw that they have quite a few products around now that just clip to regular bars. Still prefer my lumps of pipe.

Thanks guys.

Did cardio this evening after having a splitting headache since mid afternoon.

6000m in 30mins. Consistent speed with 1000m per 5mins (more like 4 1/2 mins with stops for water).
