Tim's Journeyman Log

[philosopher]

^^ Hmmm don't know about that. Can't have people getting penis envy.


Don't know how much weight I'll be lifting tomorrow, been drinking since lunch time. AFL grand final today and friends birthday party. We had alcoholic slushies and beer

Alcohol + lots of snacks + Mc Donalds to top it off = Brutal Pr on your next session

 

[Pickle]

depression and stress? I didnt realise me not posting in your log affected you so much. Gotta get your blood pressure down cutesy buttons. Go eat a stick of celery lulz. But seriously get it down. Nice thick bar dumbell rows xxx

Got about as close to lifting as sitting upright on the couch instead of laying down. Though today maybe, beautiful weather for lifting heavy shit

Without your sexiness I am nothing
Yeh I've got to start doing some cardio, get rid of some of the stress (it's leading to the depression) and look at cleaning up my diet a bit. But given diastolic is fine it really is down to lifestyle factors, that and the gram a day coke habit

 

[Skeptic]

only a gram? do 5 pussy

 

[Pickle]

coke habbit? oi bra what you tinkerin with lar?

 

[Skeptic]

[PrinceVegeta]

Get better tim!!

Pickle: Don't worry dude, I'd never touch anything illegal.

Skeptic: Sex, drugs, lead guitar!!!! I rewrote that to Sex, weights, lead guitar.

PrinceVegeta: Hangover didn't last as long as the lethargy, but I got it done today.

Ok so after I put my fist through my computer in frustration with the paper I'm writing I decided it was time to lift some weights. It was either that or go Michael Douglas in Falling Down.
I Want Breakfast

Lower

Hang Snatch
40kg
60kg
70kg
70kg
75kg
75kg

SLDL
100kg x5
130kg x2
130kg x3
130kg x4
130kg x5

Donkey calf raise single leg
55kg x10
55kg x10 +10 with both legs

Squat
100kg x2 (after power clean to shoulder)
130kg x5 (had 8 but lacked intenstinal fortitude)
130kg x5 (ditto)
130kg x5 (this was on the limit)

Standing calf raise
130kg x8 toes in x8 toes out
130kg x8 toes out x8 toes in

Happy with the squats aside from the lack of intenstinal fortitude to finish the sets off. Hang snatches are now approaching what I previously snatched from the floor.

Soundtrack: Stabbing Westward - Save Yourself

 

[Pickle]

if i can do 20 rep squats and you cant man up to do 8 rep squats then im dissapointed in your effort. Nice effort on the calves and snatches tho sweety. Get 8 next time.

 

[Skeptic]

hahaha sex weights and lead guitar you should write a book on it.

 

[tim290280]

Pickle: I know, I'm a pussy :crymeariver:

Skeptic: Not another book idea I'll add it to my list.

[Pickle]

strong man chins timothy! I think i just came! Good inclines and you actually did lateral raises? is the world about to end?

 

[Hypocrisy86]

awesome chins for sure , and good music to boot while working out
glad to see your strength improving quickly

 

[Big_Guns_Lance]

Strong chins Tim and heavy BB curls.

 

[tim290280]

Philo: yep I'm only a week or two away from a PB and tying half BW around my waist for reps.

Pickle: they aren't the typical lateral raises. I do them in the scapular plane (from the leg instead of from the front) and only go half to 2/3 of the way up. That way it minimises the traps involvement and doesn't put too much stress on the joint. Of course I'm only doing it to fix up an imbalance.

Hypo: thanks dude, and yes the Pumpkins do rock!

Big_guns_lance: thanks dude. I was surprised I could curl anything after the chins!

Ok last nights workout was the Usain Bolt PB workout.

Last night I did rack deadlifts from just above the knee for the first time in over 3 years. The last time I did them my knee was au naturelle' and I was ~83kg and had been training them for 12 weeks. Last night at 88kg I blitzed my previous best by 46kg without training for it.

Snatch grip deadlift from the floor (first time I have ever done these)
60kg x5
80kg x5
100kg x5
140kg x2
150kg x2 PB (this doesn't mean much as a PB but still felt easy)

Rack deadlift
177.5kg x2
197.5kg x2
207.5kg x2 (easy as so went to....)
227.5kg x2
237.5kg x2
247.5kg x2
257.5kg x1 PB
I possible could have had a second rep. I was actually running out of plates as I had been using a loading pin on each side from 177.5kg upwards. I don't know if I could actually add more weight to the bar without extra loading pins or more olympic sized plates.

Split squat
95kg x5
95kg x6

Hammy curl
25kg x5
25kg x7

DB Calf raise
52kg x10
52kg x10

Standing calf raise (held contraction)
95kg x 15

Soundtrack:

 

[Rageking]

damn....good work bolt...i mean tim

 

[Pickle]

257.5 KGS! cop that he says. Would you like to borrow some of my olympic plates so u can try for more?

well done. Super sexy.

 

[tim290280]

Thanks rageking!!

I was so pumped after I did it. But I wanted to be able to add another 5kg to see what my real max was.


Thanks Pickle!

I'd say the postage will kill us! I think I need some bumper plates anyway!
Plan on lowering the pin height to gradually get that off the floor, like I did last time I did rack deads

 

[allstar]

Nice, im gonna have to check this out. Do you ever post meals?
