nicely done with those hang clean and jerks. The deadlifts aren't anything to be shy about either Nice grip you have there :techn9ne:

I like the song as well, at their outfits

 

[tkD]

good work on chins and inclines from your previous session, and those deads looks good and heavy too, keep it up tim

 

[Rageking]

awesome work time, lol PWO dog biscuits

 

[The_KM]

Great workout bro. Keep up the good work! lol I didn't notice that was your dog's routine, my bad.

 

[tim290280]

Tweak: My log is sexier for your visit dude!

tkD: I was reasonably happy with the deads, if I do it right I should be able to do my former max for multiple sets in another 4 weeks.

Rageking: Our dog doesn't really like dog biscuits, she prefers lumps of meat on a bone, but she knows that the PWO window is very important for recovery and biscuits are the only thing on offer.

The KM: I'm sure you weren't the only one.

I was going to work out last night, but I had sex instead.

Pussy

Nice sessions though Timbo!

 

[Skeptic]

huge deads big man!!!

 

[PrinceVegeta]

Good workouts lately man.keep it up!

 

[tim290280]

Rageking: Yep my favourite kind of workout!!

El Freako: Yes pussy is good.

Skeptic: I'm hoping the deads will rapidly improve as I haven't done them in a long time and I seem to fell them more in the posterior chain (especially hammys) than what I did a year ago. This means I'm actually pulling the weight rather than squatting it which should equal a PB soon.

Princevegeta: I'm actually noticing how much I need more cardio as these sessions are taxing my work ability.

Haven't had the internet this weekend so I'll post both the sessions. On the leg day I didn't wear my compressive "tights" (Skins-what athletes wear in training) and today I am noticing the effects on my legs. Didn't notice much difference when training with them, just when you stop using them (like creatine I suppose). So in summary the proprioception and lactate removal advantages are real.

Soundtrack:
Guy at a party on Saturday night gave me Opeth's Still Life as an introduction to Death Metal. I do get Opeth but I'm still not enamored of the grunt vocal style without the direct juxtaposition of the clean or melodic vocal. And Still Life impresses me more than Ghost Reveries which I also have, so Tunen and Skeptic, spot on dude!

 

[Skeptic]

Im the one that recommended still life

 

[tim290280]

^^ sorry, fixed. I knew you and Tunen were discussing which album would be more appropriate.

 

[Skeptic]

hehehe awesome , but yeah still Life is a great album... IMO their best.

 

[tkD]

nice upper and lower body workout, squats especially looks very good for 8 reps, keep it up buddy

 

[Rageking]

great work

and lol at squats, i feel the same way sometimes when i just do low reps, ill drop the weight and have to force myself to do the extra weights and not stop

 

[tim290280]

tkD: The 8 reps did not come easily. Physically it was easy, mentally I wanted to stop once my breathing got a little laboured. Given how I got 8 with what my mind only wanted 3; I'd say that next time I should be able to add weight and get the reps easily.

Rageking: It is why I've switched my squat, bench and rows rep ranges. I realised I haven't done any medium rep range work on these exercises in so long. I was originally planning to do 20 rep squats but I'm glad I did an intermediate phase first

 

[Rageking]

^yea thats a good idea, i usually try and throw in a set of higher reps after my low/singles just for the hell of it.

 

[tim290280]

^^ I usually do the higher reps as either a drop set (on rare occassions) or on the accessory exercise. I thought it was time to do some with heavy (relative) weights.
