Must get bigger...

[stallion87]

Hopefully by doing a log I should be able to take the finger out my ass and start training my legs like I used to!

Saturday 10-10-2009
Flat Bench press 64kg (8 reps) 61.5kg (7 reps) 61.5kg (6 reps)

Bent over rows 40kg ( 3 x 8 reps)

Push Press 44kg ( 3x6 reps)

Dips BW + 7.5kg (10 reps, 8 reps) BW+5kg (6 reps)

Going to add in some Reverse curls here too.
Bench was hard today, Should make 65kg for 8 reps next time, Even if I get 8,7,7 reps I will be happy. Need to find another exercise for bent over rows, really don't feel comfortable with them and can't get up the weights, I hold the weight at the top for a second and this limits the weight I use.

I do this workout, the same reps every 4 or 5 days, I also do legs but not often enough and could do with starting them again, which I will on Monday as I'll be missing football for a few weeks due to work commitments.

I think I'm going to start altering my workouts too, the one above is 6-8 reps, and I could do with doing something about 12 reps to change it around, maybe add in some dumbbell work too, I think I'll do the below...

DB Incline Bench press 3x12
Rack pulls 3x12 ( for lower back area)
Hang cleans 3x10
Chin ups 3xf ( Can't do a huge amount, maybe 12 so might start adding weight)
Close grip Bench Press 3x12

I would however like to do something a bit more fun, I quite enjoy the farmers walk and would consider something along the lines of that... will look into it.

Whats the idea for leg days man?
Training-wise (=

[stallion87]

Hi mate, should have added that in really!
A
Squats 3x8
Stiff legged Dead lift 3x10
Good Mornings 3x10

B
Deadlifts 3x6
Squats 3x12
Lunges 3x10

[Mutated_Hair]

I like the look of A (=
If your choosing one or the other that is, if theyre alternating thats cool too (=

[stallion87]

Yeah, will be alternating to keep it a bit more fun. Going to keep squats in there for both as obviously it is the biggest mass builder in my opinion and hopefully it will strengthen up my knee a bit too.

Have not done SLDL, Lunges or Good mornings much before, so will need to take them slow as I will be doing with all the lifts to focus more on form. Happy with my squat form and deadlift however so will just bash on with the weights for that.

[stallion87]

So did my legs for the first time in ages the other day, Never been a big lifter with them although my form is pretty good.

Squats - 3x8 - 60kg By the time the 3rd set came these were easy.
SLDL - 3x10 - 40kg These were pretty easy however I have not done them for over a year and was looking for good form.

Good mornings - did 1 set and then decided I don't like these, will be looking for something else to do.

[stallion87]

Going to go do my upper body today in about half an hour, will let you know how it goes, a couple of new exercises to me again!

Hey man, if it helps you could post a journal in the Training section (=
I found it helps with motivation a lot (=
