[The Troll Toll]

OK so as everyone who knows me knows I haven't been training very hard lately in spite of Michael's inspirational speeches. However yesterday I watched a video of an old WWF match on youtube (Rock and Rikishi vs Big Show and HHH) and I thought "****, I'm actually nothing like The Rock." As such I have been motivated to train harder so what better time to start a training log.

For the losers who don't know me here is a brief life story.

Got interested in training aged 10 to try and be like The Rock. Adults didn't approve of me watching wrestling so I only started lifting at around 17 to impress girls or whatever (didn't work). Got into kit whore powerlifting, did a 285.5 british record squat in a Metal Pro Squatter and Titan Boss briefs at 82.5. Also have lifted 150 bench in a Katana, 250 deadlift raw. Impressed even fewer girls. Did a couple of under 90 kg strongman competitions and never came last. Also never came top 10 despite the field being 12-13 people each time. Those guys are really strong.

Gonna do some kind of split, cos why not. Today was back day

Deadlift
60x6
100x5
140x2
160x2
160x2
160x2
160x2
190x2
all with no belt, mixed grip and easy

Barbell row
60x5
80x5
80x5
85x5
90x5
95x5
all easier than I thought. maybe

Giant set of DB rows. The notation is, I did each line with left hand first then right hand, then left hand again for the next linehis is all one set basically, took a couple of minutes though
70x3
60x8
60x5
46x6
46x8
I think those numbers are right but they might not be because it was really hard. Writing it down doesn't really do it justice. The 70 kg DB is really hard to hold so that's why I didn't do many reps with it.

Good mornings
60x8
100x6
100x4
60x10
bull**** exercise, not doing these again

BTN pulldown
35x20
30x20

V grip pulldown
45x20
40x20
40x20
numbers might be wrong who cares lol

Started at just gone 2:45, finished at about 3:55

I'll be curious to see how this goes.

Thanks for commenting bro

I've theorised about how I would train "bodybuilder style" for a while but never actually done it so I'm interested too.

If you smell... What the Nun is cookin'.

We have similar reasons for starting to train lol. I get the same problem with DB rows, just about managed to get 60x1 on the right side a week or so ago and got 50x8 pretty easily on Wednesday.

Rock's pretty lean at the moment compared to what he was a few years ago but definitely going to be watching this log.

I'll hang out here.

Recent Pbs in all lifts?

Nice equipped lifting in the past.
I swear you've had blogs before but like Griff never continue to use them...

I'd rather be him from 2000.


Yeah the row thing is a bit annoying. Used to use straps but can't find mine now and also they get in the way if I do a giant set. Never mind, got something to improve on.

Yeah I've had a few. I doubt this one will last either.

Squat 150x8
Bench.. 100x2x2 after high volume is my best lately I think :/
Push press 100 or so for a single

No other lifts I've been doing recently really I don't think. Rows but I can't remember what I've been doing.

Are you a footballer now?

Sure are.

I'm hoping to take a relaxed approach to playing in this summer. Hopefully it will be more of a hobby I do for fun than something I train towards with loads of dedication. I don't know though. Either way my training will be like this on most days I think - some strength work, then a giant set, then some pump stuff.

i am all up in this thread.

How come you can dumbell row with one arm, nearly as much as you can barbell row with both, surely it should be like half, not 70-95? and that was even after doing the barbell rows

[The Troll Toll]

A variety of reasons:
1. the barbell rows were stricter
2. when I DB row I support my body with my legs and my free arm, not just my legs, so it's less ham/lower back intensive
3. the weight part of the DB hits my chest, lowering the ROM compared to a bar hitting my chest
4. I always intended to work harder on the DB rows

Won't last a month.

[The Troll Toll]

Wanted to do chest and triceps today, neighbour got engaged so I drank champagne instead. Will have to get up early tomorrow and do it I guess.

[Becca]

Come on, you need to prove Smed wrong!

[The Troll Toll]

Had a long talk with my housemate that resulted me staying up until 5:30 yesterday. Combined with the gym closing at 12 today this was not a good recipe for me training today.

Won't happen.

You have? Where?

Also, deciding to stalk your old posts is hilarious.

Of your started threads at least 50% were in the bin though and they were the funniest ones...
