Tash Posted October 1, 2016 Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 Ok guys, you can read or ask about me in the Introduction topic. First a few thing simportant for this log. - I started SL 5x5 two weeks ago, except for my second day - I had to move a lot of things at school that day - I went to every workout. - I have a handicap. Some form of Spina Bifida. Due to this: my left legmuscles are shorter than normal: so my right muscles are under a lot of stress, Also I have a very sensitive back. This is why I changed the Overhead Press, to SHoulder press, to stress my back less. - From time to time certain weights in my gym go missing (probably some wizard experiment) so this is why I'll add 5k instead of 2.5k. 19/09 SQUAT5x5x20kBENCH PRESS5x5x20kBARBELL ROW5x5x30k 23/09SQUAT5x5x22.5kSHOULDER PRESS5x5x20kDEADLIFT1x5x40k 26/09 SQUAT5x5x25kBENCH PRESS5x5x25kBARBELL ROW5x5x32.5k 28/09 SQUAT5x5x30kSHOULDER PRESS5x5x25kDEADLIFT1x5x45k 30/09 SQUAT2x5x20k 1x3x30k 5x5x32.5kBENCH PRESS 5x5x30kBARBELL ROW 5x5x35k Quote Current Challenge Previous challenge: #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 Facebook Instagram Link to comment

Tash Posted October 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 Yihaa! Meesa back! Well, I did a deload on all my lifts, except for shoulder press, which I pushes higher than it was before my break. I did the whole workout in 30 min, so relatively short! squat 10x20k 3x30k 3x5 45k shoulder press 5x20k 5x25k 2x5 30k at this point my shoulders where telling me to not do another set so I decided it was ok. I will try 3x5 30k on friday. deadlift 1x5 50k Quote Current Challenge Previous challenge: #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 Facebook Instagram Link to comment
Tash Posted November 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 squat 10x20k 5x30k 3x40k 3x5 50k i'm constantly getting better at this movement. Today I focused on pushing my knees outwards. This made clearly a big difference in my performance, everything was easier. Something else I noticed during my squat, but als doing the bench, my second and third working set where a lot easier than my first one. So I understand now I think why people put extra weight every set on the bar. bench press 10x20k 3x30k 3x5 40k deadlift 1x5 55k MY F****** FOREARMS!!!

SpecialSundae Posted November 2, 2016 Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 The first set is harder because it's still sort of a warm-up. After that it's easier because your body is acclimatised to the weight. If you put extra weight on the bar each set then it would feel as hard as the first set. 1 Quote Link to comment

Tash Posted November 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 I decided to switch back to SL again, I stopped doing it because the endurance was hard on me. But I think it is good to build this up. Also I do miss the rows... Quote Current Challenge Previous challenge: #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 Facebook Instagram Link to comment

Tash Posted November 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 I will start taking the yoga lessons from this thursday... hopefully I can pay them I'll update about those lessons too! (identitycrisis: am I now a monk who slams with hammers or a warrior that loves some occasional bodyweight and breathing practice??)

Tash Posted December 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 THURSDAY 1DEC - yoga This felt great. Some of the exercices where to difficult, Some exercises will I never get done, or I may not do them. I know for example that I can't do a headroll, I did a headroll once trying to do it. I'm not sure if I can train this, anyway, the basic movement for Sarvangasana or the candle requires to do this. (see picture). I hope I can learn thing slike this. I was amazed by all the energy I got after this class and the time spent. It was a class from 1u30 but it looked like just 20 minutes. It was relaxing and challenging both. Yes, even when I wanted to go to bed I was tirerd as hell but still had to much energy to sleep. The next day in the gym and right now I still feel this energy. FRIDAY 2DEC - gym squat 10x20k 5x40k 3x60k 5x5 75k bench 10x20k 3x40k 5x5 55k row 5x40k 5x5 50k SATURDAY 3DEC - yoga I did this session on my own. It was a bit difficult remembering everything, goign from how to do exactly some poses and how to breath to start them but also on which chakras to focus on, I guess these things will come naturally in time. But I did 1 hour and 15 minutes to do the warming up, 10 asanas and relaxing moment. The class took 2 hours, and the teacher also explained some things. I had problems with the vajrasana pose becaus eof the shortness of the thighmuscles. I won't know if i will ever be able to do this movement. In the class I used a meditation bench for this movement and even using it I could feel the stretch. So the Vajrasana and Sarvangasana are both poses which are very difficult with me and I think I should try to find exercices to build up to those movements. Because I realy want to be able to do those. Quote Current Challenge Previous challenge: #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 Facebook Instagram Link to comment
Tash Posted December 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 TUESDAY 6DEC - yoga this class was about how to open the svadhisthana chakra, the second chakra. It gives sensuality, pleasure, and if used wrongly dualism. I had soem feeling but some of the forms, where to hard for me. I asked for modifications for the next lesson. Apparently my hips are very thight. But they will open up with enough exercise. Quote Current Challenge Previous challenge: #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 Facebook Instagram Link to comment
Tash Posted December 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 WEDNESDAY - gym I had to share the squatrack so my sets looked a bit different, also I forgot my phone so took a wild guess at the weights I had to lift. squat 5x40k 2x5 60k 1x5 70k 3x5 75k Should have done 80k but I feel this was a good workout between lifting 5x5 75k and 5x5 80k ohp 10x20k 5x5 35k deadlift 1x5 75K Quote Current Challenge Previous challenge: #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 Facebook Instagram Link to comment
