Pat G Posted August 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Strewth! It's been too long. Strength Training sessions have been intermittent, in other news , Got a distinction average for my PM grad cert.Hill sessions daily. Those are so painful, not really sprinting, more pained lying on the ground than moving quickly. New regular exercise to add onto pullovers are weighted sit ups, 20kg plate is golden. Learnt something new, pubmed tells me that heavier weights are more effective at building the hip flexors and ankle plantar flexors. Quote "Strength is the cup.

Pat G Posted September 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Tuesday 10 September. Soccer season over. Citylife FC finished with 2 wins, 2 draws and.... maybe 10 losses? maybe more.But as its a Church league, the bottom 6 teams compete for a plate too. We lost our first plate game, but the 2 teams below us did too... so we're playing again this weekend. No training last night. So I went for a run. 3.8 kilometres for 32 minutes. Top speed 15.2kph, average 7.5kph. Lungs weren't the limiting factor finally, my calves cramping up hard were... sheesh. Other news. Scheduled in for an ultrasound on Right Shoulder, doc believes I have aggravated supraspinantus tendon or muscle. Its bloody hot and we're 10 days in to spring, going to be a boiler of a summer. Peace to those witnessing this. Quote "Strength is the cup. The bigger the cup, the more you can put in" - JDanger Link to comment

Pat G Posted September 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 Sat 14 septCitylife FC vs City CentralScore: 1 - 6Now there is a reason for that... I got thrown in goals first half and let in 4 grubby ones. "Why would you do that!?" I hear you say... well because everyone else chickened out while our regular keeper was away. Pressure? Hmm no, water off this duck's back. I can claim first time in goals since my under 7s glory days. 2nd half much better back on the paddock left back left wing.Seaon is finally over time to get strong again. Quote "Strength is the cup.

Pat G Posted November 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 So I benched on Monday the 11th of November, properly had a training session, not a set of 3 to show form or a single or anything but....10 x 40kg10 x 50kg2 x 10 x 60kg My chest and shoulders are so shattered, and don't you try to tell ME that your biceps don't get a workout when pressing. Somethin crazy goin on down in that right one there. For the rest of the session: Squat5 x 505 x 605 x 702 x 5 x 80 Dips2 x 10 Pronated grip lat pulldowns2 x 10 x 25kg2 x 10 x 35kg2 x 10 x 45kg Having another baby in the house definately removes "personal time" and changes it into "catch up time" for all the other things that need doing in the house, that explains (or is my excuse) for why I didn't finish out the last challenge. The rest has done my body good (obviously by the fact I can lift things with my arms). More later when it cools down tonight. PEACE Quote "Strength is the cup.

Pat G Posted November 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 Friday Dumbell OHP 10 x 10kg 3 x 10 x 15kg Small small steps, Seated, can't do them standing in the garage. Was raining... is raining. Dips 2 x 10 It's my goal for the next 21 days to get into my garage and lift it go for sine conditioning every 2nd day even if it's for only 1 exercise or a big around the block. I must build that discipline up again. Today Sat 16 nov 60 mins of soccer in the rain friendly match with a big load of mates. Good quad tiring times chasing down runaway strikers.

Pat G Posted November 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 Legs have been strung tighter than a double bass this past few days. 20 mins mob a day to rectify back to normal today. Tues 19 Nov Squats 10 x 30kg 5 x 50kg 5 x 70kg 3 x 5 x 75kg Dumbbell OHP 3 x 10 x 18.5kg Seated. Right shoulder is weaker. RDL 10 x 50kg 3 x 10 x 75kg Lat Pulldown 10 x 25kg 10 x 35kg 3 x 10 x 50kg Absolutely Roasted, not so much food this past 2 days. Musing on my squat form... I can't help but think I'd be lifting better if my shins aren't as vertical as they are now. Closing this ankle gap up I'd proving to be hard. It could be a case of my bloody long limbs compounding with poor flexibility, but I'd like to be able to overhead Squat properly one day. It's tablet time! Quote "Strength is the cup.

I do something I've never done before. Standing over the bar for the second set, I start getting a bit dizzy, Its hot in my garage, needs air flow, I'm thinking I need a window in the back wall or where the best place would be to put a rooftop whirlybird. Next thing, the world starts stuttering, I hear a clang like a bar being dumped on the squat rack and unexplained pain in my face and spend the next few seconds trying to connect the dots. Next thing, my mate is standing over me asking if I'm OK, while I lie on the concrete just outside the garage door and get up trying to figure out what just happened. Was told, I stared at the roof for a while, then started toppling backwards before taking a few backward steps and tripping over the rear support bar on the rack and ending up on my face outside. I'd blacked out, first time for everything, hopefully last. Picture of then and now to come next post. I now have a decent shiner. Quote "Strength is the cup.
