Tim's Journeyman Log

Anabolicus: Cheers dude. Watch for the bench later this week.

Cardu: Yeh I try not to make a big deal about it. Wouldn't want people knowing that I actually have any experience at lifting.

Kai: Not as wide as I'd like


Ok I spent the day searching for locusts and I had been sick the last 5 days, so I felt a little flat so I took some SuperPump. After that I felt jittery and it messed with my squats. Got my squat PB out of the hole easily enough but coming back up to parallel and got shaky and dizzy.

This will be the last time I will ever take SuperPump or any other stimulant other than caffeine prior to a workout. So inconsistent with its effect on me it is not funny, and the jittery and dizzy thing is dangerous.

Basic lack of G&D. I had the lift but just felt off lifting it. I've felt this way a couple of times using SuperPump, jittery and light headed when lifting.

So rather than grit my teeth and face the risk of fainting I just dropped it to leave until next week (I have been sick after-all). I agree that I should have a PB very soon. I'm guessing I'm good for ~180kg maybe 185kg.

PV: Yeh it should be easy next time. Didn't feel really heavy, more like a 90-95% lift.

Actually by my mental math Mike could be spot on with the 190kg if it only felt like ~90%.

 

[Skeptic]

Nice work Timbo with the squats. Sucks about the missed lift... but it seems its not far off!

 

[Big_Guns_Lance]

Nice Tim. Unfortunate about the 170 but like you said you'll get it next time

 

[ironheart]

good session tim. good effort on the squats, you get 170 up next time

Kurt, BGL, Ironheart: Thanks guys.

Had a shitty workout this arvo. I was expecting big things from bench but ended up bombing. Everything felt heavy, including weights that should have been light.

Bench
Light x suck
Medium x suck
Work set x suck
Not even PB x sucky suck
Easy weight x SFA

Pullups


Floor press - as I failed at the midpoint on bench
Light x suck
Medium x SFA

Gave up and went and had a beer.

i know how u feel bro, having those kind of days really suck. when even the warmups feel heavy u know its just not gonna go ur way. what do u attribute it too? when my warmups feel heavy, i usually take a week off or deload. cuz in my mind that is a sign of overreaching, and that ure pushing urself into the overtrained zone.

maybe go with a new program or setup? 5/3/1 id definetely reccomend. ull start out alittle lighter and that may be what ur body and CNS needs atm.

 

[tim290280]

I attribute it to hayfever, the flu I had last week (still not 100%) and the work this week. I think it all left me dehydrated and run down.

Didn't really notice and just thought I needed more warmups, but the "warm enough" never came through. Really noticed it on the pullups, 20kgx8x1 is just lame for me.

 

[PrinceVegeta]

Hope u get back to 100% soon

 

[tim290280]

Thanks Jono.

[Xiva]

Insane deadlift!

Good job soldier!

 

[Bulkboy]

awesome deadlifts mate like those high rep finish sets.

 

[Skeptic]

Big pull mate!

 

[philosopher]

Sweet Deadlifting there Tim! Keep up the good work

 

[Pickle]

great job timbo with the deadlifts. I cant believe you can have a shit week and still make 190 fly up. lol

 

[tim290280]

Xiva: thanks dude.

Bulky: the high reps killed me and my lower back.

Skippy: 210kg is on the cards very soon.

Philo: cheers dude.

Pickle: well I was kinda expecting for more energy, especially on the bench day. I was really looking forward to a PB and essentially failed on a weight I had pin pressed the week before.

Another session this evening as I won't get another chance this week by the look (stupid category 2 incident). I'll be on the road. My lockout sucked so I've moved over to floor presses for some heavy work.
