Thanks, I notice you have'nt got a workout log (was gonna see what your routine was like), I reccomend it as it really helps me keep a check on my lifting and set goals. Plus knowing that i have to post my workout makes me train harder so people won't laugh at mepork said:
. I'd also say that it really helps to have a written workout log (something I picked up from Urban), just a cheap ringbound A% thing from my local stationers for), the average person is a fat pleb so remember that it boosts ya morale! then try match or beat it next time round, but i never get to see a steady progression, i just remember from the time b4...
I have to admit I started with the same attitude towards writing down my workouts and was really suprised how much it helped me to put it all down in words, plus there's nothing more satisfying that putting the weight down and staggering over to your notebook and putting in your last set and getting to write those two wonderful letters next to it "PR".pork said:as if care if ppl laugh (but i understand!
Yeh i really should do a log, i just do it off memory, because how could u forget ya best lifts!
like i built up to 60 pound dumbell shoulder presses for 6, then the next time i managed to get to 2 sets of 6. So ill remember that and try beat it next time.. pretty poor system
have alot of the same lifts as u press bench skulls, but ya deads are kickin my ass but only started doing real low reps today so ill try catch up!
a lot of the time i dont have spotter so have to make do with higher rep ranges like 5-6

Not really, I train in my garage. My cat wandered in the other day while I was squatting and went to sleep on top of my training notebook (you'd have thought the fact I was playing Pantera at ear-bleeding levels would have discouraged her), but I'm not sure she's got any New year's resolutions. I have the same problem with some of my martial arts classes though, bunch of posers turn up because they decided to take up a sport, realise its hard work and then quit in a fortnight. Still, if you find some metro doing curls in the squat rack I'll come and be a character witness at the trial.Barut said:Looking good brother. Has your gym filled up due to the New Years Resolution croud? Mine is fucking insane and will be for the next 10 days until the mentally weak leave. The nice thing is that new people flock to the cardio machines and preacher curl area and stay away from my squat rack.
Only one way to find out, reckon I'm going to keep these around anyway as the wider stance seems to use more of the hips, so I guess it can help me bring up my weak points.pork said:
Yeah that was my thinking, my back has'nt been feeling sore after my pullups since I injured my shoulder, don't know why but I suppose my bicep lost more of its strength than my back, weird that my bench press should stick around over a two month layoff but my pull ups disapear. Well I've got a problem and a theory of how to fix it guess I've just got to put in a bit of time and see how it goes.pork said:
. im paranoid about jumping up weights so quick ie. from 330 straight to 365. i go up in like 10lbs increments, or even 5lbs. might give a big jumps a try to see if i can get more weight on.
I found if I only went up very conservatively when deadlifting I got completely knackered by the time I was trying to max and ended up being rather halfhearted at my assisstance. I just try to make sure I'm fully warmed up and that my last pull felt really light or I'll only jump a small amount.pork said:good to see ya bringin up a PR every session.
ya deadlifts increasin at an atomic rate.
with your pullups are u maxing out on each set or pacing your self?
