| First to either 100 (for me) or 137.5 (for you) FTOH. I always pay my debts (unlike Hayden; I think it was the fifteen quid he owed me and not the back surgery which made him quit) so I'll settle up in a few months when I'm strong enough to visit the dungeon! | |||

Sparrow said:(by my Sparrowmax calculator) Wicked name, I'm tempted to rename the one rep max calculator. Another good sesh. By the way, whats your floor to overhead PB? I may owe you £10 already, remembered a bet we had a 'while' back! | |||

dr_hazbun said:Solid deads. Get yourself back to 140x5x5. Not sure I'll want to be hitting that much volume on deads once cricket season starts, but 140x5 would be nice! 1st March Hill Sprints Moderate Incline, 10 sets Lungs coped with this fairly easily, couldn't quite go flat out as the pavement was a little slippy in places. Jog there to warm up (third of a mile) and walk back to cool down, nice sunny morning but nippy. | |||

Sparrow said:Training looks solid at the minute Rob - routine looks solid (who doesn't like full on bodybuilding?  )! All that's missing now is the milk.Thanks, a couple more months and I'll pop over to the Dungeon so we can hit up some Toothpick curls  28th February Close Grip Bench 20 x 10 x 2 40 x 8 x 2 65 x 8 x 5 Narrow Grip Spoto Press 40 x 5 45 x 5 47.5 x 5 x 3 Pull Ups 4, 4, 4, 4, 4 Scap Pull Ups 12, 12, 12 Curls 20 x 10 25 x 10 30 x 10 x 3 - Close grips felt good - Spoto press will hopefully help me get faster at the bottom, I used to be fast off the bottom and weaker at the top but years of doing narrow grips and no shoulder/chest work have reversed that Plans for March: - Get overhead strength up - Progress deadlift to 120x5 - Squat twice a week get to 60x5 - Less focus on distance runs and build in sprints Bodyweight is up a little now the lower body weights are picking up: ~73kg. Once I get to the end of March I'll figure out what all-time PBs (be it 1 or more likely rep maxes) I can start aiming for across various lifts and begin working towards them. This should help provide some motivation as slugging away without any PBs in sight can be hard work, although I am 35kg lighter than when I set many of them. | |||

| Lots of solid work lately, great deads. Don't push those squat 10s too hard mate, you'll have to change the log title  | |||

General_ill said:Real nice deadlift form. Thank you  21st February Close Grip Bench 20 x 10 x 4 40 x 8 x 2 50 x 8 60 x 8 x 5 Narrow Grip Spoto Press 40 x 5 x 5 Pull Ups 3, 3, 3, 3, 3 Scap Pull Ups 12 x 3 Curls 20 x 12 30 x 12 35 x 12 x 2 Groin flared up quite badly yesterday, must have overdone it with running and deadlifts earlier in the week. Will move routine around a bit so I don't deadlift the day after running, and also need to start progressing the deadlifts a bit more slowly now they are getting a little heavier. Also need to stretch glutes more and do more tissue work on adductors. | |||

| Nice to see you back at it Jeff. Do you lose much bodyweight if not training regularly? | |||
