SKWAT / Leg day

 

I'm pretty sure I've missed a workout or two, but eh. On to the new week.

 

1x10 60kg

1x5 70kg

1x5 80kg

3x5 100kg

1xAMRAP 60kg (12reps. Legs could of kept going, but I was completely gassed. I need to pick up the cardio. Last few weeks of drinking and eating everything in sight has slammed me. Plus I feel like I'm getting sick. I've had a bit of asthma for the last week that is annoying me a bit)

 

Accessories:

Leg Press: 3x15 Whatever weight. Round 140kg If all the plates that are stuck on it are 20s

Leg raises: 3x10 

Hamstring raises: 3x10

 

Cardio:

3km rum

Tabata Battle ropes

 

So this week is another half week at work, but next week is the first full week of the year. I'm still being a little light on the diet until then. Exercise as normal though. I've only managed to put on about a kilo since my last weigh in, which, I don't even know how the hell i managed that.

 

I need to come up with some goals for this year. I'm thinking of switching to generic program and just focusing on having a bit of fun with the lifts for the next few months until I stop my weight loss.

 

Suggestions are welcome.

We've been having cyclone like weather and it was turning to shit at this point, so I skipped the rest and jumped in the car to make it home. 

Probably should of skipped the gym altogether, but eh.

OK So I've just decided screw it, I'm going to keep doing what I'm doing because it's fun/works. Back to basics, but switching up what days i do what.

Front Squats

5x10 50kg

 

Kept the squats lightish because I haven't done front squats in forever and I was worried how I'd handle them. This was a good decision because I almost blacked myself out with the bar against my neck about 15 times. hahaha Good times!

 

Accessories:

T Bar row: 5x10 40kgish

Bent over row: 3x10 50/60/70kg (Last set was 8 reps)

Lat pulldown: 3x10 60/80/100? I dunno, lbs maybe? Who knows with the ancient cable machine I'm using.

 

Cardio:

1km run

Tabata Ropes

10 minute fast walk

 

Completed in 90 minutes. I'm going to focus on cutting these times down and playing with rests, try to do that to get my cardio up.

I was going to do more accessories, but my rest times between deadlifts were YUGE and I didn't realise how much time was going by. Skipped one arm rows and bent over rows. I might superset bent over rows with my bench tonight and see how I go. That should be a horrible time!

Aside from that, tonight felt stronger than I've felt deadlifting in a long time! Grip was good and the lifts seemed to be going up fairly quickly.

I just don't feel comfortable with the damn squats over 100kg. I can do 5x5 for 95 all day every day, but the second i add a few more kg i can't manage to get more than 3 per set. I'm thinking it's just getting comfortable with the weight on my shoulders, so I might have to add in some 3x3 3x5 5x5 progression in my routine at 100+ just to get the practice in. Hopefully from there I can start progressing the weight a bit heavier again.

I've lost 12kg now and my lifts have all gone up so I'm aware that I'm trying to stretch myself a bit thin, but I really want to keep pushing higher. Desperate for a PR at the moment, it's been a while so I'm starting to get annoyed with everything.

 

Tonight is shoulders. I want them boulder shoulders...

BBB - Front Squat:

3x10 40kg - I dropped the weight and dropped 2 sets because I was exhausted from the pulling. I want to make sure I'm not too fried for the rest of max week.. I really want to push myself for the squats at the end of the week, and I know this took a fair bit out of me.

I'm on a roll so I'm making a small change, extending the deload out to 6 weeks instead of every 4. I want more heavy!!
