If I went for a 1RM my upper body/back would get crushed. All tightness goes when it's too heavy. Who'd have thought you need good upper body strength for squats. I didn't know/understand that before.

70kg is pretty low. To get to that level you will probably need to count calories. I can hover around 11-12% without counting but sub 10% is another story.

Yeah fair point. At a guess, I'd say around 20-25% bf so getting down to 70kg should bring me down to around 12% as you said. Hopefully I'd start looking good then :p

So OHP has gone to **** again. Shoulders probably a bit tired from PBing incline on Wednesday but I should at least be getting 50x5 which I got months ago now but it just isn't happening. I'm just gonna up the frequency of this lift somehow. It NEEDS to improve.
My form has got worse. Elbows kept flaring. I had lots of trouble keeping the forearms straight :confused:

Squats were amazing. I got a really nice hip and groin stretch in the first 100kg set that loosened me up. After that my reps were maybe an inch from ATG but well below parallel. Really worked on clinching the glutes on the way up and opening up the hips. Really, really pleased. I felt my hip flexor but the injury is slowly disappearing. 100kg is a great weight for me: not too heavy such that I die in the hole and not too light such that my deficiencies are covered up. All reps paused btw.

BB rows were nice. New exercise for me, I've done pendlay rows a couple of times in the past.

Hamstrings were possibly a little too sore for this from deadlifting. Oh well, as they say: No pain, no gain.

6 x 200m
Walk back recovery.
I think they were around the 27 second mark. I started to regain some ground though on the the last one though. Possibly due to a combination of the tiring and me changing the way in which I attack the course.

My acceleration isn't particularly good (it's actually pretty poor), but I found if I maintain my speed for the first 100, and kick the second I can regain a lot of lost ground and get a much better time. So will start trying to implement this in future sessions.

Everything below the knee felt like lead. Makes me think that upper legs aren't the issue (they feel pretty fresh), but my calves especially just pack in early. I'm still getting a little pain in the shins so they obviously haven't fully recovered yet, which may have some influence. ]]> Fitness Blogs SprainedAnkle http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=2341953 <![CDATA[Josh's training log]]> http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=1731086&goto=newpost Thu, 16 May 2013 20:37:32 GMT *16/05/13* *Paused Squats* - Not to bad.

So I wanted to log this in yesterday, but my stress levels were through the roof mainly due to my stats exam (which is thankfully over :woo:)

Overall, it was a good session :D

Bb Front Squats

BB Stiff Leg Deadlifts

12x80kg
10x85kg
12x85kg :D

DB Lunges

Pull ups - 3

I plan to up my weights on squats and deadlift and my deadlift was okay as I used a mixed grip which really helped me hold the bar easier :yep:

I have 3 more weeks to complete of this stage of the programme. I would take photos at the end and put them up, but I've gained weight due to exams :eek: I do plan to lose this again once I don't have to worry about late nights all the time :yep:

I had jitsu today which went well but I need to get much lower so that I can do the throws better (grading in a month and a half).

Planning to go gym either tomorrow evening or Wednesday morning :yep:

A hella busy week this week, lots of time spent on trains and travelling.

But anyway, had a great ride on bank holiday monday - did 49k on the bike (would have bumped it up to 50 if the traffic was better!) which was cool. It was particulalrly demanding hill-wise, but the weather was amazing so I just kept on going.
I remember at the 42k mark my legs started to feel empty - lesson there on eating!

Gym yesterday and will take my running shoes for the weekend if the sun comes out.

Quite well, because my parents have decided to stop buying junk food. :D
And I've found these things to buy at college called "Tasty Little Numbers", so it's really easy to stick within my calorie limit at lunch time.
And I've been doing a lot of walking, but no running as my running partner is in Sweden, but I want to start again once he gets back.

I have a lot of work at the moment, so I'll probably only post at weekends until after exams. ]]> Fitness Blogs beccagood95 http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=2318648 Getting into that perfect little pink dress :) http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=2307498&goto=newpost Wed, 01 May 2013 18:35:50 GMT In to sub :H In to sub :H ]]> Fitness Blogs Idle http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=2307498 <![CDATA[Mess.'s road to ruin]]> http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=2322749&goto=newpost Wed, 01 May 2013 08:40:45 GMT Now at 83.5kg and 19.3% body fat.

I'm 15, and I want to go to Japan in the future. However, they're all really skinny over there :o And I don't want to stick out.

I think I'm 153cm tall, and last time I weighed myself in January I was just shy of 80kg... which is very very overweight. and also very unhealthy.

So I want to become more healthy, and stick out less. Call it stupid, but I worry about reaching for my dreams and going to Japan because I just feel so fat... And then I worry so much I don't do anything, and then I feel fat, -repeat N amount of times-

So yeah. I read somewhere that losing weight is like pushing a car up a steep hill. If you keep going and going no matter how hard it is, you will make it eventually. But if you stop, the car will roll back down to the bottom and you will have to start again.

So yeah.
