AugustaAdaByron Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Hey everybody! When I first created the battle log I had written a very extended intro that doesn't make sense anymore. To be honest I'm not sure it made much sense back then. I'm just replacing it with this... "This is just a training log!" 5 Quote Level "I have no clue" Warrior Current challenge Battle log Link to comment

AugustaAdaByron Posted November 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Workout from Sunday 16/11 Weight: 63.5kg Bench Barbell x1031kg x8(I was still too sore and there was a sharp pain in every rep so the coach suggested I skipped bench) Deadlifts 50kg x560kg x565kg x470kg x3(at that point I started rounding my back so I did 65kgx2 for the coach to check my form)While the starting point of the lift is correct it seems that I'm not tightening my shoulders and the moment I start lifting the weight my back goes. Also, I get out of breath when I'm doing deadlifts and having breakfast less than an hour before lifting didn't help as I got nauseous when the weight got heavier. Overall, I had a bad day.

(I hope - phone use only makes it hard to know) I know, I used to write it on a yearly calendar because I could see the weight going down/up but I've been using the libra app which shows a weight history and a plot. 1 Quote Level "I have no clue" Warrior Current challenge Battle log Link to comment

AugustaAdaByron Posted November 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 I was supposed to lift again on Sunday 23rd but I ended up at the hospital because of stomach pain instead. Anyway, it's getting better now. I also got a job offer from a place I wanted to go to work to which took away some of the stress. Workout from Tuesday 25/11 Bench 20kg x1031kg x8x232.5kg x6x233.5kg x435kg x3 Bench went better than last time. Not back to where it was but close enough and as long as it's moving up I'm happy Deadlifts 50kg x560kg x565kg x470kg x375kg x280kg x1 This was a weird session regarding the deadlifts. I'm usually slow at the beginning but then after some point the weight just goes up. Now it was the other way around, it went up ok but the moment the barbell reached my thighs I felt almost stuck. Alternating Standing DB Presses 5kg x8x27.5kg x6x2 Hadn't done any in around one and a half month. Not a bad day at the gym.

AugustaAdaByron Posted November 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 Workout from Thursday 27/11 Bench 20kg x1031kg x8x232.5kg x532.5kg x332.5kg x2x2 Bench went way worse than it has for a while. I've no idea what causes this fluctuation. I was still a bit sore from Tuesday. I think I may not be getting enough time to rest in between workouts. I'll try to start with lighter weights for a while and see what happens. Squats 20kg x1035kg x940kg x845kg x650kg x552.5kg x455kg x360kg x1 DB Rows 14kg x8x215kg x6x2 Quote Level "I have no clue" Warrior Current challenge Battle log Link to comment
AugustaAdaByron Posted November 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 Have been coughing since I woke up, so gym is not happening today. So much for being consistent edit: cough got better so I got ready to go at the gym but lost my car ride. Since the lifting hours are fixed I wouldn't make it there with enough time left.

AugustaAdaByron Posted December 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Workout from Tuesday 2/12 Bench 20kg x1028.5kg x930kg x931kg x732.5kg x633.5kg x433.5kg x5 The deload on the bench has started. Deadlifts 50kg x560kg x565kg x470kg x375kg x380kg x185kg x190kg x1 It seems that it is completely random how well/bad a deadlift session will go.

Muscle Professor Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Looks like the work outs are going good. I always have to stop and convert the numbers from the metric system but it worth the time to see how hard your pushing it. Keep fighting the battle. 1 Quote -The Muscle Professor- OtherWorldIron.com Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself. -Rumi- Link to comment
AugustaAdaByron Posted December 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Thanks Lanithroe Workout from Thursday 4/12 Bench 20kg x1028.5kg x930kg x931kg x732.5kg x4 Pain started at this set and I lost tightness so the 4th rep felt really hard and didn't go for a 5th one.Since the pain continued I did incline bench. I'd never done incline bench before so the first set was to learn the form. Incline bench 5kg x77.5kg x87.5kg x710kg x510kg x5 Mostly pain-free during the incline bench. Squats 20kg x1040kg x845kg x650kg x552.5kg x455kg x4 I felt too sleepy during the last sets. I had to put too much effort to keep my torso tight. Also, my form was off on the first sets because I my arms were in pain again. DB Rows 14kg x8x215kg x6x2 No pain there as long as I had a specific ROM.

Muscle Professor Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 Are you taking anything for your joints? Quote -The Muscle Professor- OtherWorldIron.com Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself. -Rumi- Link to comment
AugustaAdaByron Posted December 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 Are you taking anything for your joints? You mean any kind of medication? No, I'm not. I'd rather not take any medication while I'm on medication for my stomach and that's going to be until Christmas. The coach also didn't suggest any. The suggestion was to switch to incline bench for a while. I thought that it can't hurt to try since I don't feel any pain doing it.
