Tim's Journeyman Log

[El Freako]

nice effort with the OH squats Timbo, you obviously got your modship for being so hardcore.

 

[miamiracing]

great oh squats and boxes! i tried them and it felt so weird.. omg but i believe that they really hammer the s*!# out of your quads

Ben: or just by being able to spot trolls and JornT accounts.

Kai: They are so different. Having to stop and pause while sitting back into the squat really changes the dynamic.

Ok some shitty news. Buck's night yesterday and with much drinking comes much bravado. I tweaked my injured knee when we were doing the Sumo-Suit Wrestling. I don't know how bad or what, but it doesn't feel right. Probably just a light strain on the LCL and probably from the scar tissue still floating around, but still annoying.

The knee isn't swollen or sore at the moment, but I do notice it taking the stairs. This may be a pretty major setback in my training. I was on target. At least I should pwn the bench in the next month!!!

That really sucks Tim! I can tell you all about it knee injury's are a pain in the ass. I hope you recover soon

^^ I'm not sure how bad it is. Today it felt fine and handled the weights warmup fine enough.

Cardio this evening as we got back late from work (that will happen a lot of the next couple of weeks, we have a category 2 incident currently).

11mins of HIIT
Total of 6000m in 31mins.

 

[philosopher]

Cardio bleh! But it has to be done somtimes.

 

[PrinceVegeta]

Solid session timbo, and i agree wth philo, cardio=/blah

 

[Bulkboy]

i dont agree, cardio is great atleast when u get in decent shape where it doesent hurt so much anymore props for doing it timbo, and strong weight sessions as well. strong rows and impressive chinups

 

[tim290280]

We've got the in-laws here so I tried to blast through the session. I was amazed at the way the higher rep deadlifts hit me hard. These were probably a 10-12RM (hard to say as I've always had more top end than reps on deadlifts) yet had me seeing stars. Did them because the SLDL was just not taxing the hammys enough before the form would break down.

Solid leg session man, those stiffies look good, and the stiff leg deads too btw

 

[tim290280]

Didn't get a chance to comment last night:

Philo: I don't mind rowing or cycling. Running I used to love, but I can never push myself unless it is sprints.

Jono: I need to be more consistent with cardio. It is probably one of my weak points.

Bulky: Thanks dude. You may also notice the deadlift session with higher reps. The videos that you and Jim Wendler posted of higher rep deadlifts inspired me. I haven't done anything over about 3 reps on deadlifts in years.

Jono: lol!! My legs are stiff today too

 

[Zigurd]

Yo Tim, amazing sessions !! Got any pics of you as of late ?

No recent pics. I took some of me snatching a month or so ago that I've already posted. I'm going to video things when I try for some maxes.

First time I've listened to this track and actually understood the lyrics. Curse you Kurt, getting me listening to black and death metal.

 

[El Freako]

Impressive pin-pressing Timbo.

 

[Skeptic]

Great workout big fella! Terrible soundtrack though hah.

 

[Bulkboy]

awesome workout tim. loving the pullups, pin presses and the fatman pullups. just tried em today and theyre awesome! thanks for inspiering me to give those a try also im glad ur giving high rep deadlifts a go, think its good for ur central nervous system with a change, if uve been lifting in the 2-5 range forever. keep up the solid work!

 

[miamiracing]

very esoteric session

 

[PrinceVegeta]

Solid session timbo, awesome pullups and pin presses!

 

[tim290280]

Ben: I'm hoping it translates to a PB.

Kurt: I'm still not a fan of it. Someone recommended it in our metal debate....... Amon Amarth however rocks

Bulky: fatmans are a great exercise. I'm always surprised at how hard they are to do.

Kai: Is that I comment on how mundane the workout was? Because I would agree that it wasn't esoteric.

Jono: Actually the pullups are feeling vastly different now. I'm treating them as an accessory rather than focussing on them and I'm actually making better progress.
