SevenofSeven Posted June 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Oh god.... the mental image here is epic. It took a second reading to realize you were talking about what we call flip flops... thongs are a much different item, that would also make you feel very unsafe in "wet bushland"... which adds to the mental image even more.Hahahahahaa, lost in translation!

SevenofSeven Posted June 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 Wednesday 3.6.2015Stronglifts:Warm Up:5 minutes rowing2 minutes cyclingStretchingSquats:1x10@BW1x10@Bar2x10@30kg1x5@50kg5x5@70kgThe first two working sets just were grinding. 3rd, 4th and 5th sets way better. Definitely feeling the lack of sleep holding these suckers back. Still getting less knee issues and lower back seems to be sorted. Looking forward to upping the weight next week.Bench:1x5@30kg legs up1x5@35kg legs up1x5@40kg legs up2x5@42.5kg legs up3x5@42.5kg flatAlternate setted the 42.5's. Felt pretty confident at this weight. Woohoo moving on up!Pendley Rows:1x5@30kg5x5@40kgHad the bar coming to rest on my 15kg plates to lift the bar up a tad, worked better but then the bar kept trying to roll away from me. I think I have these sorted.SuperSets:1x10@40kg RDL1x5@40kg Shrugs1x10@40kg Shrugs1x5@40kg RDLCool down was just stretching. Ok time to head to Bunbury and pick up my Partners Ducati from the shop, he's pretty nervous about riding it home, especially since his leg is still kinda stiff. Let's see how this goes. Quote Wait!

SevenofSeven Posted June 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 Spent time today with a friend of mine that I had not seen in ages, 8 months really.Found out she has a tumour on her spine, is going in for surgery in a couple of weeks, the kicker is, they are not sure what type of tumour, is it benign or cancerous, can they get it all out in one sitting and the best thing of all, will she walk again after they remove it. FUCK!I am grateful for my life, family and health.I need to lift...........argh! :( Quote Wait! What............? Link to comment
insanity Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 I think the wait is worse than the diagnosis, that sucks... and yeah, nothing compares to that when it comes to appreciating what you do have. Hope it all works out for the best. Quote "Insanity - you make my world a better place man, you really do!

SevenofSeven Posted June 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2015 6.6.2015Stronglifts:Warm Up:Skipping and stretching and sweeping the floor of the shed, dog hair and dust........my favourite.Squats:1x10@BW1x10@Bar2x10@30kg2x5@50kg5x5@72.5kg3rd set was great, thoughts of my mate Deb and besides the tears smashed these fuckers out, knees good, back good, form good! OHP:1x5@22.5kg3x5@30kg2x5@32.5kgGot sick of dicking around with these so upped the weight regardless, the last set was push/press but they got done. Let's just grind these down!DL:1x5@32.51x5@70kg3x2@90kg2x1@95kg1x1@100kg ( fail but just had to give it a shot )2x5@70kgWOOT, 95 kilo Deadlift!!! Didn't manager set of 5x5 but wasn't going to kill myself so broke its own into 3 sets of 2. Had enough in the tank to try the 95kg, really happy that I did. 100kg, just around the corner!I had a break through today as to why my back may have been playing up a little while ago, my shed floor is not flat, it has a slight angle to it and depending on where I put the squat rack depends whether or not I am Square and my hips are evenly aligned when I lift, if I face out the door my right side will be lower, if I face the back of the shed my left side will be lower, which would have seen me lopsided and possibly twisting. If I face either side wall I will not have one hip lower than the other, but will be racking higher higher or lower depending on what side I am facing. Boom, problem solved. It just means I can't look at all the nature when I lift, I will have to content myself with corrugated tin walls..........a few posters of Arnie should fix that though. 1 Quote Wait!

Have to watch that, but I can feel it! Knock it off!!!!OHP:5x5@30kgThis was great today, no funny thingy with my bi-triceps. Felt really strong and really concentrated on getting the lats locked in. It worked, best sets of these I have ever done!DL:1x5@70kg2x2@95kg1x1@95kg3x1@90kgThe second set at 95kg switched to mixed grip because my grip in my left hand is failing, weak wristed that's what I am.

SevenofSeven Posted June 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 18.6.2015Stronglifts:Warm Up:Stage 1 Workout A/3, Skipping, Son6 tried skipping backwards, well buggar me, I could do it to.Squats:1x20@BW1x10@30kg1x5@50kg5x5@75kgThis was pretty good, although really wasn't feeling it today, the shed door had to stay shut, it was raining and freakong cold, the whole thing was just dark and cold. I did actually time my rests for 3 minutes on the timer which was a good rest and excellent cue.Bench:1x5@35kg5x5@45kgJust smashed these out. 2 minute rest was perhaps a little long, might make it a minute and a half next time.BOR:5x5@42.5kgThese were strong controlled and felt amazing. 2 minutes too long for rest, gonna try 1.5 minutes next time. Cool down was splitting some jarrah and hanging out the washing, beast mode! Quote Wait! What............? Link to comment
SevenofSeven Posted June 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 3 day break after being pretty consistant with the lifting.Can't wait we have a Scout camp and the weather forecast is rain and shitty. We are also doing service to the property which means we are rock picking! So this may actually count as a workout. Pick the rocks up and put them in the trailer. Oh I can see the potential.
