Strength training for the puny

[SmashiusClay]

My legs hurt like hell, so no lower body lifts and I forgot my log so this is what I can remember day

Incline press:

20 (44) x10
50 (110) x5
60 (132) x5
70 (155) x5
80 (176) x5
90 (198) x5 (PR)​

Roman chair DB bench press:

10s (22s) x3x5
15s (33s) x3x5​

These weren't done on an actual Roman chair, but were done sideways on a bench with DBs holding my feet down.

2 Board press:

20 (44) x10
50 (110) x8
80 (176) x8
90 (198) x8​

Pullups - 4 sets of some

Tate presses, dumbbell skullcrushers, weighted sit ups, T-bar rows, corner presses, gripperage, stretching.

And I see they didn't win the Heineken Cup, sad.

 

[SmashiusClay]

I feel the major problem was they were just too fatigued from playing through three finals, the current season is just too damn long for the top flight clubs. THey've got the league, league play-offs, cup and european cup; once you add in the international matches that's just too much for tyhe players to take and still play at full capacity. Wasps had been out of the league play-offs and cup, so they got three weeks rest, end result - too many handling errors.

Unfortunately half the tigers players now have international matches over the summer, so they don't get any rest from competition, with the world cup coming up it just makes for too high a work load.

I'm thinking of changing the title of my log, I've got a few ideas but would welcome suggestions.

Probably won't train today, I'm really busy and my body feels pretty beaten up. Those roman chair benchpresses are evil BTW and I wouldn't wish them on anybody (needless to say I'll be doing them again next week).

Why on earth would you want to do that?

 

[Zerocrew1984]

One day we shall meet and i'll know your weaknesses

 

[SmashiusClay]

One day we shall meet and i'll try to find your weaknesses only to get kicked in the crotch and dumped on my head

Fixed

 

[Zerocrew1984]

weakness 1-your cats
weakness 2-hob knobs
weakness 3-jack johnson?????

im starting a list :icon_twis

 

[Zerocrew1984]

weakness 4-scarf hold

 

[SmashiusClay]

You just listed 3 strengths and unless we're under judo rules you're never going to win via scarf hold and will get caught in one of the subs I've got from there that judo doesn't allow.

But nice effort, keep trying.

 

[Zerocrew1984]

jack johnson is your strength eh?

 

[SmashiusClay]

jack johnson is your strength eh?

Both him and the cats, help me remain calm, a strength for any fighter.

 

[Zerocrew1984]
