Tim's Journeyman Log

[tim290280]

Skeptic: :greddy:

El Freako: I like tight tights They are the most comfy thing I have squatted in. Plus they keep the muscles warm and stop the lactate build up.

Essensen: I just make sure I warmup enough when I'm training on colder days. Plus those "tights" are actually good for promoting muscle warmth while wicking sweat. I know the cold does have an effect but it is about training long term.

BGL: I try not to shit on my legs Seriously though I lost the photos off my camera (battery went flat and lost a whole heap of stuff, including Dad's 60th photos). I can take some more at some stage, there are more on my Facebook.

tkD: I'm probably about 100kg off the pace of an Olympic lifter in each of the lifts. Hell the little Chinese girls out lift me. I'm hoping to get just a bit leaner by summer and figure out my water/salt intake so that I stop retaining water on some days.

Less talking more workouts Tim. It has been two days since your last workout....

^^ Yeh we had a work function for two guys, one had been with the dept for 40 years, so had to celebrate. I did a light session last night which I hadn't planned on doing, mainly because the weather was so nice outside.

Pullups (did these because I was standing around waiting for the dog to bring the ball back while playing fetch)

huge chins mate!

that chick is hot btw... i always love how the rest of the band acts throughout film clips in these type of bands HAHA

 

[Samoan-Z]

Ha! I usually schedule a massage every 2nd sat... in fact I got one in 3 hours.

 

[tim290280]

Skeptic: I think you just notice it more in a female fronted band because the girl has to have a different look, being a girl. The guitarist has that "pissed off don't mess with me" rock attitude while the lyrics are about respect for nature.

SamoanZ: Hope it has a happy ending

Ok rack deadlifts again today. Took them down 2" but wasn't able to keep the weight up to last weeks mark. Bit disappointed even though I anihilated my previous best at this pin height. Oh and added 5kg to my snatch grip dead PB.

Damn bro nice Deads sorry bout missing those last two when i was power training I got spots on those deads that i was missing.

And sadly no... no happy ending .. and my back was feeling awesome then I had to go off the work weighted cardio lol.

 

[Skeptic]

LOL @ retarded Symphonic metal musicians HAHAHA

Massive deads mate


EDIT: the cheese of the lyrics in that song is fuckin mind boggling... cock rock eat your heart out.

 

[tim290280]

SamoanZ: Yeh I wasn't feeling as fresh this week and I've got aching muscles today, unlike last time. Also getting a spot on squats and deads =

Skeptic: I'm sorry but you are trying to say those lyrics are more cheesy than the "hardcore" world of death metal? Lyrics about cannibalisation, etc, is pretty lame; it's all about the shock value. Anyway any cheese that Epica has is negated by how hot Simone Simons is!

 

[Skeptic]

singing about cannibalism is hardly cheesy... shocking yes... but not cheesy lol

i agree about that pretty redhead negating the cheese

 

[PrinceVegeta]

Damn she is hot.......

 

[tim290280]

Skeptic: Lets take a good hard look at some Death Metal lyrics shall we? I think that they are cheesy because they are shocking for shock value with little acutal meaningful and poetical significance. All right they aren't singing about swords and dragons, but:

Swollen with liquid
Ready to burst
A load of my lymph
Will quench this dead body's thirst
One month in the grave
twisted and half decayed
She turned a putrid yellow
I pissed in her maggot filled asshole

Not exactly what I would call emotive or powerful lyrics deserving of the term poetic. They are therefore pretty lame lyrics that are trying to be hardcore for the sake of being hardcore. It's like the guys that strut around the gym claiming to be hardcore because of X poundage they just did on X lift. It's laughable because they lift weights in a gym, not exactly hardcore. These lyrics are in the same boat, they aren't hardcore because they are trying to be hardcore without evening knowing what this shit they utter is actually about.
/rant.

Oh and have you got any of the pics of the hottest women in metal features? I can think of a few that I'd like to see naked......

PrinceVegeta: Simone Simons is not just hot, she is a great singer. Ginger pride right there!!

Ok trained upper body tonight and it looks like I'll have to give up pressing for a bit. Shoulders have started playing up again. I'm guessing it is from last week when I was overdoing it a bit on an off day. Should have just stopped when I first felt

Upper:

Bench
60kg
80kg
100kg
110kg x2
110kg x5 (shoulders felt ordinary so dropped down to)
80kg x12
80kg x12
80kg x12 (shoulders still felt even at such a light weight, but the higher easy reps may go some way to helping recovery)

Thick bar DB rows
42kg
60kg
70kg
70kg
70kg
70kg

Rope thingy for back
8
10
8

Tricep rope thingy
5
8
5 (really changed my setup for these with my body flatter, more ROM and lower angle reached)

Soundtrack: These guys are even better live.

 

[Big_Guns_Lance]

Nice workout Tim, great strength in the flat bench.

 

[Samoan-Z]

Delts may have been fatigued bro, but other than that nice looking reps lets keep it up.

 

[tim290280]

BGL: I was surprised at how it was just the reps that were down, not the strength. THe shoulders actually don't feel so bad for having done the workout that way.

SamoanZ: Wasn't prefatigue; I've had an on-going shoulder issue for some time now. I'm working on fixing it up but every time I get close I'll have an off day were I'll strain something again.

Ok legs last night on a pretty shitty day weather wise. I also spent a lot of the day chasing down references for my literature review. Lower back was still a bit fried from rack deads a few days ago, so I think I could have nailed the 140kg for 8 if I was fresher.

Single Leg SLDL
17kg
42kg
52kg x5
57kg x5

Death metal lyrics arent supposed to mean much... hence why you cant understand them. Do you know that they dont know what its about? i dont understand what you meant by that... they are pretty straight forward lyrics

I never said death metal lyrics werent lame And being a musician yourself you should at least be able to understand that the vocals in death metal arent there for the lyrics.

Please stop trying to belittle the music i love... i was hardly making fun of yours, i was just making a joke

 

[tim290280]

^^

Yeh I don't get it because they don't mean anything makes sense.

But the statement about them not knowing; unless they are serial killers, or morticians, or pretty mentally fucked, they really don't know this stuff. But yeh I get it, I just think it's cheesy as a result. I'm getting more into death metal but still find it odd.

Actually I was listening to Wuthering Heights (Celtic Death Metal) last night and am getting a bit of a wider scope on metal in general.

Dridz: yeh train legs!!! Mine are aching a bit today. Finally hit the calves hard enough.
