Looking forward to Monday. Back to gym.

Felt like the rest was needed. Definitely going to have a week of rest like every 6-8 weeks. Feeling revitalised.

I've honestly never done a one rep max

instant injury

no need to find out

shook 1s

i go gym on my ones

1 rm is as much training the mind as training the body. obv if the form aint 2nd nature you have know business doing a 1rm.

nothing to be scared of tho. learn how to bail.

deadlift - let go of the bar.

squat - let go the bar, jump forward.

bench - dont use collars, if you get stapled, drop one side and allow plates to slide off, then do the same on the other side. or simply use a power rack and set the pins so the bar doesnt decapitate u. simple stuff really.

[Skenghis Khan]

weight x reps x .0333 + weight = 1rm.

but its just an estimate, you cant say you can lift something unless you have actually successfully lifted it.

i suppose 1rm are only really relevant for ppl who are interested in specifically training the lifts, which is of course different to training the muscles.

although the mind training involved in the 1rm is valuable, heavy singles are a completely different ball game to 5+ rep ranges, they require a much higher level of focus, the ability to execute from the first with correct form and to remove doubt and negative thinking from your mind. Valuable attributes in and out the weight room.

Back in the gym today. 6ft, 13.5 stone.

Tiny bit of excess weight around the stomach (drinking), but nothing noticeable.

[Peyton Manning]

Haven't had a proper gym session in about a month now. Went on holiday for three weeks and used the hotel gym but they didnt have the full range of equipment and the free weights werent heavy enough. Been jetlagged all week and cant get myself to they gym, plus my diet hasnt been on point. Not sure if its paranoia but I swear I look smaller every day.

[Seymour Cake]

Had to go to a wedding on Monday, which was meant to be my shoulders/biceps day, and Tuesday (yesterday) i was too busy to catch up. So today I'm thinking should I just go ham in the gym and do everything that I missed in one session or try and catch up on the next "off" day?

hate missing a day especially when your making solid progress, f*cks up the routine.

[Seymour Cake]

Not sure if its paranoia but I swear I look smaller every day.

C/S it's a sh*t feeling, I feel like that soon as I miss a session or eat junk food. Some next guilt trip.

[Peyton Manning]

Went back today, chest session. Bench press has dropped to 120 and I maxed out after 3 sets. Generally felt fatigued after about 20 mins. Didnt realise a few weeks out would do this to me lol.

C/S on the junk food guilt trip. I was banging out the fast food on holiday and now I just feel like a prick lol.

Legs tomorrow. Starting to prefer doing Front squats over Back. Hits the quads more. Less pressure on my lower back. Win win.

Whey Isolate. Denchly expensive tho.

[Flex]

find front squats twice as hard for some reason, you do cross grip or fingertip?

[Guest M12]

Fingertip. Keeping your elbows through/keep them high.

[Skola]

front squats, first time ive heard of that tbh

how often do you do legs, once a week? i know some people do some lights squats before / after other workouts?

[Flex]

doing strength workout atm. squats one day and deadlifts a next

[A walmart bag]

Crossgrip. Fingertip just puts pressure on my weak ass wrists. Use the 2.5kgs plates on the floor as leverage to go deeper. People are always commenting on how deep I go. That's how your suppose to bloody squat!!!!

[Guest M12]

so today is legs day and the rain is beating down. anyone think i wanna go outside?

[MARVELL]

if your not progressing dont be posting here like its a f*ck*ng diary. kmt

"not going gym today cah its raining"............how is that progress?????????????
