Re: Thread for me!Quick trip to the gym to see how much strength I've lost.
Deadlift:
70kg*5
110kg*3-5
140kg*1-2
160kg*1
170kg*1(Technically a PB)
110kg*some
70kg*a couple
OHP
20kg*5
30kg*5
35kg*3
40kg*3
45kg*3
50kg*2-3(third took ages, bar went squint, but eventually went up)
40kg*5
20kg*10
Dumbell benching
10kg*some
15kg*5
20kg*5
was gonna go for some with the 25s, but the grips were a bit rusty, and my hands were already pretty shredded so I left it.
Couple of curls and skullcrushers.
Not too much strength lost. Deadlift form was dodgy, but was nice to do 170kg. Think I was at 160-165 for 5 before I left, so with a check of form I think I'm about where I was. OHP lost a bit, didn't expect to make 50kg again though, so that was nice.
Will have a go at rows/benching properly/squats at some point in the next week or two. -

Re: Thread for me!Tennis for a bit today, was boiling!
Then a general everything gym session:
Squats-went up to about a double at 90kg, not too tough, but my knee didnt feel great(took a full swing with a hockey stick to it a week or two ago, then a knee at football the other day), so stopped there.
DB benching-worked up to a max set of 30kg*4.
Incline benching-couple at 50kg, couple at 55kg.
Bit of curling/skullcrushers with 20kg on EZ bar(think 4*5 on curls, 2*5 on skullcrushers...they're hard!)
5*5 lat pulldowns at '15'
Deadlifts-worked up to a triple at 150kg
Quick set of 10*20kg on MP
2*8 hanging leg raises.
Little bit sore now, we'll see how I feel in the morning! -

Re: Thread for me!Rubbish today, tried to go for 180kg deadlift, failed 5 odd times couple of inches above the knees, couple of inches from lockout, bit gutting. Possibly partly down to the lots of marching yesterday.
Also looks like my form is appalling, will have to sort it out. I think once that's done, getting 180 should be do-able.
Strict pressed 55kg for a single though, which is technically a PB, so woop on that front. -

Re: Thread for me!Hour or so of headers and volleys before 20 minute kickabout. Nothing to report there.
Just been at the gym:
Deadlifts-140kg*8(first 2-3 reps double overhand)
Rows-60kg*3*8
Pulldowns-setting 15*5*5
Back hyperextensions-BW+10kg*3*8
One armed DB snatches-25kg*5(each arm)
Back was a little knackered before this, but figured I'd go anyways. Deadlift form still pretty poor, forgot to check up on it before I went. Still, didn't feel too heavy, could've maybe got to 10. -

Re: Thread for me!Don't think I did any exercise yesterday. I forget if I did.
Today, had an outing, approx 2 hours. Then a quick gym session:
Clean and press-50kg*5*3(sets 1,2 all presses strict, last press in each of set 3-5 was a push press).
Cleaned and push pressed 60kg for a single.
Bench-40kg*some, 60kg*3, 70kg*1, 72.5kg*1, *1(paused), 75kg*1
Static dumbell holds-50kg-30s each hand.
Dumbell holds felt fairly strong, hands a bit torn up from rowing though. Seems not doing deadlifts before grip work makes it easier, who'd've thought?! -

Re: Thread for me!Hour and a half of tennis, played some ok stuff, but also some abysmal. Hopefully improving a bit though!
Gym:
Deadlifts-150kg*8(Rep 7 grip gave way right near the top so dropped it, rep 8 I don't think I quite fully locked out. Did a double afterwards to make up for that.)
Rows-60kg*3*8
Pulldowns-Setting 17*5*5
Hypers-+15kg*3*10
Hanging leg raises*3*8
Rows I dropped the weight because of poor form, think it's a bit better now. Pulldowns were tough. Hypers I don't think I'm coming quite high enough. Not too bad overall, but I gotta stop deadlifting when I'm tired, it can't be being helpful! -

Re: Thread for me!Friday-hour and a half of tennis.
Saturday-was supposed to have an outing, but some people didn't turn up, so just the few miles to the boathouse and back.
Today-hour ish of tennis. Might hit the gym for a little bit later, we'll see.
