Tim's Journeyman Log

[tim290280]

Pickle: I'm trying to imitate the Fratious benchious brous native to the commercial gyms across the world. Apparently they have swole chests and I'd like my chest to be swole too.

PV: My bench is not as good as I'd like. But this session felt better than most in a long time.

Back session today. Pullups felt surprisingly easy.

Deadlifts
60kg x5
100kg x5
140kg x5
160kg x5
170kg x4
180kg x2
190kg x1 - had a second one but had to drop it due to my blood pressure problem. Was literally about to blackout. I'm guessing that singles would be no problem, just that repeated bout without a break to get the heart under control.

Pullups
BW x5
10kg x5
20kg x5
30kg x5
20kg x5
BW x5

Thick bar Db rows
50kg x15
50kg x15

Looking forward to shoulders and arms tomorrow.

Nice back session timmy, deads look nice, just take it easy buddy!

 

[lifterdead]

Great Deads. What type of blood pressure problems do you have? Sounds like that could be dangerous when you're lifting heavy.

 

[tim290280]

Thanks guys. The blood pressure problem is a side effect of some drugs I'm taking for another health problem. It is one of the noted side effects and I just have to monitor things and know when to stop. That is the reason for the change in my programing and why I just dropped the deadlift rather than trying to keep going. The first rep was dead easy, but the second I got to the knees and just felt the darkness creeping in around my head and let go. I'm guessing the single reps will continue to be fine as long as it isn't a max effort. I think with the new program this will only be an issue on deadlifts and squats (although squats weren't an issue this week), although I'll have to see how the C&J fares.

Hope you're Aids heals up soon Timbo.

Good effort in training through it!

I doubt it is Aids, not with all the heroin I take to prevent that.

 

[Storm]

so you've got teh super Aids then?

I know you're wise enough to know this, but take care. You don't want to take "deadlifts" literally, do you?. Nice session nonetheless, be sure you do all your sexy curling in a squat rack.

 

[dilatedmuscle]

I doubt tim is has aids. Its a well known fact that AIDS is only amongst the gay community due to the fusion of male poop particles and the sperm cell.

So tim cannot have aids.... unless...

Not likely to be super Aids, I can't fly or anything. But yes I am taking it easy.

Also I do curl in my power rack. But when I do it it is hardcore!!!

I once saw gay porn. Can you catch Aids by just watching gay porn?

 

[PrinceVegeta]

Nice session man, some strong arms there, those OHP look nice 2, keep it up!

 

[Storm]

I saw a guy doing decline db curls one day. True story.
Good work on OHs and heavy curling too.

 

[Anabolicus]

Nice session. What are your thoughts about returning to split training so far?

 

[tim290280]

PV, Storm: thanks guys.

Anabolicus: Refreshing. I had a lot of energy to keep doing more stuff because I wasn't really doing heaps of work on any one day. Chest day used to be chest and back, etc. I won't keep on it for too long but it is what I need for the moment.

I should have updated a while back; I've had a cold the last few days and haven't trained. Had a road trip, field work, couple of long days and then was out of action. Hopefully I'll feel on top of things Monday. I did some pullups and front levers an hour ago just for shits-and-giggles and they were fine. I imagine training will be ok as long as I hit something other than legs first in the week.

 

[PrinceVegeta]

Well get back to 100% soon big boy! rest up!

Good chest volume Bodybuilding-Tim.

 

[Skeptic]

That is entirely possible. I'm pretty sure Skippy gave it to both of us.

Sharing is caring.
