I'll be training in my garage. Might go to Mary's on some Wednesdays, but exams are coming and that's a massive waste of time to travel to. Hari will probably train at a local gym. I think Moiz might be ****ed.

He could always do press ups when his mum isn't watching.

On a side note shared the squat rack today with a PT who was shrugging who didn't know how to use straps - had to physically put them on for him.

[redbuthotter]

Easily one of my ****test sessions today - walked into gym expecting 3 reps for front squat failed 3rd ¬¬

Also Felt knackered after GHR's.... pretty much limped home and sat on the floor for 30 mins.

Front Squats:
70kg x 5
100kg x 3
120kg x 1
140kg x 2 PB (failed 3rd - not a true pb 130 x 5 was better)

Bosu ball GHR's:
BW x 10 x 3 PB (working up to 5 sets of 10 with plastic bar)

Overall not great... appetite has been appalling from college stress... **** imperial

A 140kg double FS is nothing to sniff at. Nice work.

[redbuthotter]

Yeah but its nothing special.... hence the frustration, need to decide whether I should move on to sumo DL's for 3 weeks or change my approach to ME lower lifts in general.

[a_t]

why the bosu ball?

[redbuthotter]

Our gym doesn't have a GHR machine so I build my own:

I'm actually embarrassed to post the sumo DL video up..... the form was shocking, easily one of the worst lifts I've done in my life. Need to print out some instructions and bring them to gym next time. Also had no belt or slippers.

Then moved onto Stiff legs, slightly better:

60kg x 5
100kg x 5
140kg x 2
155kg x 5 PB - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BQDP...el_video_title

Need to work on form.... might drop the reps and go for trips at a higher weight. Liking the SL's though.... got the form locked in on that ****.

On another note shared the bar with a chick for the first time today.

Gonna be training at Ethos on Wednesday... but from like 9am lol. Got BSc fair all day, and teaching in Hammersmith until 6pm.

[redbuthotter]

We have to do an intercalated BSc next year. Yesterday was the iBSc fair where all the different subjects had little 20 minute talks telling us a bit about them. They also had posters with current students and researchers answering questions.

I'm probably going to do Endocrinology. There's a few modules on appetite, metabolism, diabetes, obesity, and steroid hormones etc.

[cowsforsale]
