Lachy Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 How's the knee holding up?You listing your food has made me hungry, and I have another 4 hours 'till it's eatin' time! Quote Battle Log - Facebook Link to comment
Pat G Posted August 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 I'm having to rest it, no squatting tomorrow. Pulled up with a bit of pain yesterday arvo, its not my old pain on the side of my knee, i'm now getting it above my patella and underneath it. I think it may be time to find a sports medicine man instead of the general practicioner. And man... sorry to make you hungry, but i just had 4 eggs scrambled + a bunch of grapes Quote "Strength is the cup. The bigger the cup, the more you can put in" - JDanger Link to comment

Pat G Posted August 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Well you've eaten by now so you'll be right mate. Wednesday 22 AugRows: 5x5x67.5kg. First 2 1/2 done overhand, then switched. Probably cheating by doing this. Bench: @90kg: 5, 4, 5. Used a different bench for the 1st two... i now loathe that bench, its low to the ground, and countoured and slightly inclined.... *Cleans: 4x3x67.5kg All okay, light headed after these. *Bench rant continued: So i had to Roll of Shame on the 5th rep of the 2nd set... jeeez first time i've had to do this at such a weight. I may upload a pic i took of the red bar line across my sternum. and do you know the reason i was using this other bench? because some other guys were using the one i like as a recliner. He shuffled off to leg press, so i shifted my weights across, gave myself 3 minutes rest. Called a bloke over to spot, and pumped out the reps so easy i thought he was pulling it up. Mind you... *suspicous eyes* he did have his hands/fingers ont he bar pulling it up towards my neck... tl:dr have to do bench again on monday COME ON!!!!/rantFoods: subway + shake + an Orange + maybe a Cherry ripe.

Lachy Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 I rolled at 95KG once, I even have video. Smooth is not the word I would use to describe my movements (however, mine was a 1 rep max test, you were pumping out reps - animal!)So, don't leave us in suspense, did you have the cherry pie or not?

Pat G Posted August 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Ate half the Cherry ripe somewhere in the arvo, was one of the double dipped dark chocolate covered ones, oh yeah. Quote "Strength is the cup. The bigger the cup, the more you can put in" - JDanger Link to comment
Lachy Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Oh, you said "ripe", not "pie". I thought a cherry pie was kinda out of the ordinary, but sounded very delicious.Cherry Ripes are good! Quote Battle Log - Facebook Link to comment
Pat G Posted August 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Friday 24 AugSquats: 3x5x95kg. Easy as pie... perhaps a ripe, taxed by the endOHP: @67.5kg: 5, 4. And nothing. no moreDeadlifts: 5x60, 5x100, 5x120, 5x135kg. Grip starting to fail towards the end. Note: going to start taking shakes before and after training, seems to help me instead of these half half training sessions these week. Quote "Strength is the cup.

aj_rock Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 What's goin in your shake mate?Also missed your propa run write up. Looks like you could actually take a good chunk off just running the thing all proper-like. You can start out a *little* faster than normal pace when you start, but get yourself down to a maintainable pace after about 30 seconds. Shouldn't start up any heavy breathing until around the 1st k done. Pull up your pace over the last 400m, but you can't save a bad run in the last bit.

Pat G Posted August 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Coffee and Whey + 50 other additives. No run this weekend, too flat out managing family stuff + various parties and gatherins and church events Quote "Strength is the cup.

Pat G Posted August 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Monday 27 aug 2012Squat: 3x5x97.5kg. One of each plate loaded on each side, nice and pretty. Bench: @90kg: 5, 5, 3. Absolutely putrid. Chins/dips: 3, 3Ran out of time, was training a work mate, little to no rest except for queuing him and watching his sets. Didn't get to complete rows OR cleans. Foods: Chevaps eggs + carrots & water + multiple fruits. Quote "Strength is the cup. The bigger the cup, the more you can put in" - JDanger Link to comment
Pat G Posted August 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Just ran 400m as calculated by Google maps. There and back again to the end of my street. 1:23 was the time. Not so confident in Google's key on the map as that felt easier than it should have. Now to Google what a decent time is. Taking maybe 5 seconds off for going around a tree.Edit: Michael Johnson did it in 43 second. LOL. Definitely didn't leave it all on the footpath like he did. Quote "Strength is the cup.

aj_rock Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 The idea for 400m for ruggers is consistancy. Once you can get under a minute running it like 5 times in a row (with short ~1min breaks), you're golden. Quote Why must I put a name on the foods I choose to eat and how I choose to eat them?

Pat G Posted August 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 But i wanted an elephant stamp!I reckon i could cut that time down by the end of this challenge, this was more a fast lope than a sprint, cold out my front door timed as i ran past my driveway, just to stretch out my legs after being hunched over the laptop for a couple of hours.

Lachy Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 aj is a much harder master than me, but he has a point. I'm still impressed with you doing 400m sprints, those are tough. Quote Battle Log - Facebook Link to comment
