El Freako: You left me behind on the squats ages ago. We'll call it even

Samoan: Cheers big fella!

Dridz: I don't seem to go for the pump in my workouts, but I do get swole after that type of workout. Thanks dude!

It was bloody hot this evening. Well over 40 degrees celcius. It was still 40 degrees when I trained. But considering that tomorrow is Australia Day I'm about as likely to exercise then as the pope is to find free time on a Sunday. Anyway got in and got it done.

[Samoan-Z]

Nice work Timbo, that heat sucks... want me to kick the sun's ass?

 

[tim290280]

^^ That would be good!!!

Australia Day was good, but I'm paying for it today with this hangover. I might or might not train........ hard to say.

 

[El Freako]

Did you train while you were drinking? I always find that works very well.

 

[tim290280]

^^ I did some swimming, some running, some bombies into the pool, some wrestling. No weights though.

 

[Samoan-Z]

Geez, man shoula called I could brought some ladies and we could have done a couple sets of hip thrusters

 

[tim290280]

^^ Yeh I think you would have been too tired after the 24hrs on the plane over.....

But there was some ladies there, including my own

Training tonight stay tuned.

Nice work on the benching Timbo. Also good to see your hitting the CoC's, your wanking grip will be awesome after a while!

 

[tim290280]

^^ I haven't hit the CoC's in ages so it has only been the wanking keeping my crushing strength up!

Last night I had about as much energy as a female porn star after filming a gangbang with an entire footy team. So I think that impacted my front squats a bit, but I did walk away with a PB on the overhead squat!!!!!!

[PrinceVegeta]

Strong sessions man! congrats on that awesome pb!

 

[tim290280]

^^ Thanks guys. I'm looking forward to a 100kg overhead squat!! Be nothing like lining one of those up in a commercial gym.

 

[PrinceVegeta]

^^ you would scare people and get thrown out

 

[tim290280]

^^ Scare people is the goal! And they couldn't kick me out if I haven't done anything wrong. I'd make a point of saying "look it's not my fault you can't lift properly".

[DriDDeRz]

Amazing sets & reps for your recent workout session Tim,
I love front squats, something different then rear squats, Standing calves raises are impressive bro

 

[Samoan-Z]

Lovely Leg Session Tim, I almost got off reading it..... well ... ya know what I mean lol.

 

[tim290280]

Dridz: thanks dude. I'm actually considering how to not have so much weight on the shoulders to train calves. It is starting to get ridiculus. I'm doing fatigue sets to do those (that's what the +10 is about). I'm going to make a step to do them on, which may help a bit.

Samoan: I'm hoping you mean you just like the intensity....... hope

Ok it was hot, muggy and I'd spent all day doing revisions to another "final draft" of my thesis. Didn't really want to train but I did. I did a different program this evening and it worked well. Basically get the weightlifting move and the squat and hammy work then the accessories (today they were dips and chins). Tomorrow will be C&J squat sldl and probably bench and rows.
