Pat G's battle log. Hammer Bros workout.


Recommended Posts

blobby on the bottom indeed

spent 15+ minutes going up and down our stairwell. 9 flights of 9 stairs, not too sure how many times up and down.

Calves like jelly, hands are ready.

2x20 wide push ups.

Post State of Origin Blast

Bench:

@70kgs, 10, 10, 10 , 8 , 5 ( really need to take a photo of my bench loaded with all the 5kg plates, shonky shonky)

Machine Fly (if only it could)

@Whatever weight the entire stack is via those pulleys: 6, 6, 5, 5

OHP (kind of front squatting them from the bench rack, awkward)

@40kg: 10, 10, 10

@50kg: 6, 6, 6

and some leg raises? lying flat on the bench, lifting your straight legs vertical. Maybe 30 (They aren't dragon flags are they, those are Bruce Lee crazy)

Yes, yes you should. That sounds awesome :) Makes me want to only use 2kg plates for squats, just for the bragging rights of triple wheels

How's your knee feel after all those stairs?

Haha next time I'm out there I'll take a shot and post it.

Thanks for reminding me, no pain from stairs other than tight calves.

Just got home and did some child squats one on the front then another on the back. Felt fine.

Because items many battle log I'll post it. Haha

I need to keep a Pat dictionary to understand some of the things you say.

Shonky. Skadoosh. Blobby.

Actually, I feel most of those terms could be placed in a Batman comic as sound effects and not look entirely amiss.

Why must I put a name on the foods I choose to eat and how I choose to eat them? Rather than tell people that I eat according to someone else's arbitrary rules, I'd rather just tell them, I eat healthy. And no, my diet does not have a name.My daily battle log!

Shonky=dodgy

skadoosh= Onomatopoeic word for skadoosh....?

Blobby? who knows that was all Katscratch.

did some more child weight squats over the weekend, front and back. Its ok witht he light weight during the set, but a bit of mild soreness later on the...medial side, query my accuracy of anatomical terms.

Plus some bench. at 80kgs, 60kgs

deadlifts at 80kgs, RDLs at 80kgs too.

edit, picture of my 6 plate bench. massif brah!

12+-+1

Back in the gym after a 5 week hiatus.

I thought the smile woudln't be wiped off my face till i got home, but... just dealing with a foolish customer has dented that slightly.

SQUATS

sets of 5 @: 20kg, 30kg, 40kg, 50kg, 60kg, 70kg, 80kg

Points of interest:

- Lifted with orthodics in my shoes today, made to stop my feet therefore my ankles rolling in, seemed to work quite well.

- Internally Shouting "KNEES OUT, KNEES OUT, KNEES OUT" helped.

- Unless i concentrate ridiculously hard on it, my feet end up at a wider angle than when i start, and my left foot will be further angled than the right. Figure that one out.

While that weight is a full 30kgs under where i was prior to re-exploding my knee. I'm satisfied with what i got out today.

Bit tender now i've cooled down, but no pain. Also, if anyone knows if i should be icing it after training, let me know.

*FIST PUMP*

Then OHP, Pendlay Rows @60kg: 5

Limited both to 1 set as was struggling for form on my rows, not because of any weakness other than my legs and glutes were shaking from the earlier workload.

Bench: @80kg: 5, 8

stretching, hip flexors, hamstrings, gluteals

Good to hear you are back lifting:)

No expert, but I have known lots of people with knee rebuilds/ops where they ice their knees after playing hockey but only if the knee has swelled up/painful & swelling seems to be very common post op. Not sure if ice would help for just tenderness though...

Funny, even though I'm a novice re:lifting I could really relate to your knees out scenario!

'Don't quit, two words, that's it' :-)

Everyone should be thinking knees out! Staple a sign to the wall infront of the squat rack to remind everyone else as well.

Not icing my knee yet, squatting, thankfully is low impact.

I wouldn't have the faintest where to get you a decent cigar from, but next time i'm near you i'll buy you a beer or 2.

Haha, maybe only 2.5kgs each time. Rusty. No i'm not wildross, i can't handle his volume of work.

Cleans, knees hurting just in general, wasn't thinking knees out at all, ankles were probably rolled in a bit as well while i was only thinking about bar path and racking it properly.
