30 October 2014

Bodyweight@session : ~84.25kg , nice it stayed steady
Soreness : none
Injuries/aches : none

5/3/1 beginner template v.2
Wave #1 , Week #1 ( 5+ reps )

BENCH PRESS ( 5/3/1 day ):
5@47,5kg
5@55kg
8@62,5kg
-Nice, good start.

SQUAT ( light day ):
5@55kg
5@65kg
5@75kg
-Great. Did them ATG&paused. Gonna keep it like this, ATG&paused on light day, just below parallel and not paused on 5/3/1 day.
Quads started burning after first set, FML. But somehow it did not affect me. Maybe because of paused, no amortization/reversal phase.

DUMBBELL LATERAL RAISE:
-Forgot them, FFFFFUUUUUUU

BICEPS DUMBBELL CURL:
12 each hand @ 16kg
11 each hand @ 16kg ( -1 rep )
10 each hand @ 16kg ( -2 reps )
-Small regress.

TRICEPS ROPE PUSHDOWN:
12@25kg
12@25kg
11@25kg ( -1 rep )
-Small regress here too.

SEATED WEIGHTED CRUNCHES MACHINE:
20@110lbs ( -5 lbs )
20@110lbs ( -5 lbs )
20@110lbs ( -5 lbs )
-Did lower weight by mistake, and i wondered why they felt so easy.

ABS COASTER MACHINE:
20@BW+2,5kg
20@BW+2,5kg
20@BW+2,5kg
-Very easy here too.

Overall, small de-trained feeling in everything. Joints and muscles feeling a bit rusty, out of the groove.
Not too much though, strenf very close to 2 weeks ago, expecting big bounce-up from getting back at it full-rested.

What is the problem with the gym, not much weights? If so go for BSS , SL (R)DL, (box) pistols.

On a totally different approach, this could be interesting too : http://www.higher-faster-sports.com/isosforrelativestrength.html

Sick for 4 days plus hectic period at work = derail. Got my ass to the gym finally tonight.

22 October 2014

Bodyweight@session : ~84.25kg
Soreness : none
Injuries/aches : none

1RM TESTING

HIGH BAR FULL SQUAT:
5@20kg
5@40kg
3@60kg
2@80kg
1@100kg
1/2@110kg
-Failed 110, i stopped lowering between half and parallel because it felt too heavy.
Disappointment, i did 6 singles @ 102,5kg 1 week ago. Was sure of getting 110 and hoping for 115.  FML

BENCH PRESS:
5@20kg
5@30kg
3@40kg
3@50kg
2@60kg
1@70kg
1@80kg ,  :personal-record:
-Huge milestone for a terrible bench presser like me. Incredible!

OHP:
5@20kg
3@30kg
2@40kg
1@50kg
-Did not try more as i barely got 50kg up. Ultra strict and solid though.

Also did:

PULLUPS:
7@BW
7@BW
7@BW

STANDING CALF RAISE MACHINE:
20@75kg
19@75kg ( +1 rep )
17@75kg ( +1 rep )

Checked log, 1 year ago i did the same testing before starting 5/3/1 again, I got a bad form 100kg squat, 77,5kg bench and 50kg ohp. But i was 90kg. So that's something, a little stronger while 6kg lighter.
Was not feeling it generally. Maybe from being sick the past days, maybe from bad sleep lately.
But no excuses, if i can get another 1RM session to hit better numbers i will, otherwise i will suck it up and try to improve from here.

I am down with the flu. Nothing too much though, should be good for gym in 2-3 days.
The de-load / rest we were talking a couple of posts ago forced itself. I think i will terminate the GPP phase, gonna do 1RM testing on all main lifts this coming week and then start 5/3/1.

2395
Awesome site!!!  :highfive:

Yup, it is wrong, it is from exrx : http://www.exrx.net/Muscles/DeltoidAnterior.html
But they mention it as 'deltoid, anterior' or 'deltoid ( anterior )', which is correct, it is the commas or parentheses that i omitted that made it wrong.
ALSO, i am mentioning the wrong muscle, i added lateral raises to hit the lateral deltoids, i was already hitting the anterior ones with OHP.

does greek usually place adjectives after nouns?

No, adjective should be first. Where did i do that, it may be a special case. Love those errors, direct native to English translation, creating errors due to grammar/syntax differences.

I'm not saying it's not normal, it's just what is the cause of the drop off that is interesting to me.

Ah, i see, I thought you found it not-normal and i couldn't understand why.
Should be CNS indeed. Maybe some accumulated fatigue too, from going hard for 9th week straight. I was considering a deload and a plan change anyway, but since i am still progressing, even slightly, I decided to give one more week to that GPP phase.



16 October 2014

Bodyweight@session : n/a
Soreness : shoulders and triceps, both slightly
Injuries/aches : left shin, also slightly

1.5 hours full court basketball.
Very good to awesome endurance.
Vert felt good too but i have no rim jumps to report.

They are six >90% 1RM singles with only 45 seconds rest between. It sounds normal to me to have that drop-off curve.

That 3x10x140 lunge is very impressive, even more considering your current squat.
Or is it your back that holds back your squat, so your legs are much stronger than your squat says and that is shown in the lunges?
