Lachy Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 That's a beastly bench! Good on you for going for, and getting that last rep. If my 4th was a grinder of that magnitude I doubt I'd go a 5th!BTW, love your idea of coffee + protein shake! It's now my afternoon pick up Quote Battle Log - Facebook Link to comment
Pat G Posted August 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Mon 06 Aug 2012Squats: 3x5x85kg. May be relegating this to 2x a week. OHP: 3x5x57.5kg. Still such an unco breather, gasping out inbetween reps or on the negative. Deadlift: 5x60kg, 5x100kg, 5x115kg. Tally ho. only issues were no AC, therefore some headspins. Food: leftover pork sausages, chicken breast + peas and corn + Protein slurp. Quote "Strength is the cup. The bigger the cup, the more you can put in" - JDanger Link to comment
Pat G Posted August 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Wed 08 Aug 2012workout 1*Cleans: 3x5x62.5kg. Watching the knees, i think it may be more the power focused quad dominant nature of this exercise causing the soreness. Bench: 3x5x90kg. Ok... worked through fine, till my phone rang midway through set 2 and i nearly dropped the weight. An "emergency call" from work meant i had to return ASAP.ROWS: not done see above ^training to be completed tonight. Food also brought to you by the sandwich toaster in my office. Who knew you could cook an omellete in there?!?!?!?! Quote "Strength is the cup. The bigger the cup, the more you can put in" - JDanger Link to comment
aj_rock Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Sangweesh toaster = omelette??? Please elaborate.

Lachy Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 That's pretty awesome, must be a fairly shallow omelette, but it makes up for it in surface area! How many eggs? Any strange looks from co-workers? Quote Battle Log - Facebook Link to comment
Pat G Posted August 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Queries from my boss, but he's used to my cooking shenanigans now so its all good.

Lachy Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 I missed these posts of yours, Katscratch, the place just wasn't the same without you! Quote Battle Log - Facebook Link to comment
Pat G Posted August 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Haha Katsratch, maybe if you shrunk me by 20cms or so, then i'd be burly at my current mass. But i'm still a stick. Wed 15 Aug 2012Squats: 4x5x90kg PIECE of pie, slightly sore afterwards, worked in sets with another guy, so bit more rest than usual, making gym mates ftw OHP: 3x5x62.5kg. Surprisingly easy instead of the grind i'd imagined.Deadlift: 125kg working set overhand.Some NOOB stories for laughs for the valued readers. Tried warming up with overhead squats just using the bar. Had a bit of a hysterical laughing fit inside the squat rack when i realised It was all i could do to hold the bar out properly before even squatting, wobbling all over the place. Misloaded my work set, left 10kgs off one side, took me 3 reps to figure out why the right side was so much harder to get off the floor. Quote "Strength is the cup.

Lachy Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 I know what you mean about the overhead squat. Once or twice I've tried to feel it out with just the bar and I'm wobbling all over the place! I quickly racked and went back to my back squats. I've done the misload, but it's apparent to me before I squat usually as soon as I unrack I think that ain't right.You know why squats and OHPs were so easy? Because I was working out at the same time! Quote Battle Log - Facebook Link to comment
Pat G Posted August 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 heyyyy, some sort of exponential energy build up transversing the distance, we need to do that more often Quote "Strength is the cup. The bigger the cup, the more you can put in" - JDanger Link to comment
Pat G Posted August 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Friday 17 Aug 2012NO squatteeChins: 4, 4, 3Pulls: 2 lolBench: @90kg: 5, 5, 4. Refuse to be frustrated, Wednesday will come soon enough.Cleans: 5x3x65kg. Every 3rd clean included a press/jerk. Smashed me out of the park. NO idea how you crossfitters do that quickly without tearing your shoulders off. Wolfing down my sub like its a box of Popplers. Quote "Strength is the cup.

Lachy Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Both our work outs started with skipped squats, and added chins/pulls. Co-incidence?Hmm pressing 65KG after your clean? I know the CFers do that stuff, but they don't do it so close to their OHP max I think! I've no doubt it smashed you, you're awesome for trying it! Quote Battle Log - Facebook Link to comment
Pat G Posted August 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 They were no where near strict presses. If you ever get the urge, try clean and jerking 60Kgs 30x for time. They call it "Grace"Sat 18 Aug 20122k distance completed in 14:35Walked a couple hundred meters in the 2nd kilometer, mostly due to not controlling my pace properly. Ended up with a decent amount of petrol in the tank and stretched out for the last 200 metres.Note my heart rate on finishing was lower(only just) than it is after finishing a heavy set.

Pat G Posted August 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 I went over to the football fields near my house to run the 400m times... only to find they weren't full length fields... only about 60 metres each according to my pacing. so no 400m or 50m time logged.
