DB Tricep Extensions 60lb 4x10 Thoughts Back to back workout days because I had to but it worked out pretty well. IW |
Nice liftin Dub, presses especialy.
|
Thanks Hits. Hoping to make some lower progress to make up all the upper progress. lol
IW |
Well no action in the "supplement" section so I'll try here...
Anyone ever tried these guys: http://www.buybulkwhey.com Any experience good or bad? IW |
Looks good to me...I quickly googled & didn't find any reviews by people who had bought from them though.
If you're worried about it & you have the $$, then you might try getting the recession whey from trueprotein.com. It ends up being $4/lb for 25lbs. |
but he lives in canaduh sir.

Maybe he needs some AMERICAN WHEY! This is a pretty good deal. And they ship to the hat on America's head. http://www.worldclassnutrition.com/amwhey25.html PS - I love Canada. And Canadians. And especially les Canadiennes. Mon francais est tres pauvre..comme Mike Tyson. |

Bench bar x 10 135lb x 5 165lb x 4 185lb x 3 205lb x 2 225lb x 1 240lb 3x3 (PR) This is officially 15lb higher than my previous best 3x3 and 5lb shy of my official 1RM.... However, i think my shoulder is going to need a deload soon. Squats mobility work bw x 8 135lb x 5 185lb x 3 225lb x 2 245lb x 1 265lb 3x3 (PR) These just keep going up... this week seemed better than last week despite it being hot as ballz in the gym. Unilateral DB Rows 55lb x 5 90lb 4x10 Thoughts 30C outside today... and the AC in the gym was not working... so you know what that means... it was at least 30C in there today. SO HOT!!! Brutal workout. IW |
Thanks for the link guys. That site seems a little more legit but I can't tell what shipping would be until you go right through to the checkout part. Shipping to Canada is usually make or break on a deal.
IW |
Well I skipped my wednesday session. My shoulder was still pretty sore and I bashed my knee trying to pull a transmission. I was feeling pretty roughed up. I am going to make it today though.
IW |
sounds like a good day for a break :)

BW: 184.0lb Shorts on instead of sweats so about right? Military Press bar x 10 95lb x 5 115lb x 3 135lb x 2 155lb x 1 165lb x 3,3,2 Well I'm not too sad I didn't make it. I actually expected it. 10lb less than my current max and 165lb was the max before that.... So some good progress here. Deads mobility work 70kg x 5 110kg x 4 130kg x 3 150kg x 1 160kg 3x3 (PR) I made my deadlift goal... just ... a real hairy pull but I was determined to get it. Pull Downs 70kg? 3x10 Tried pull downs today. No idea what this machine weight is in as far as units. DB Tricep Extensions 65 x 10,10,8 Standing BB Curls 50lb 3x10, 1x21 Bar + 2.5lb plates looks so bad @ss! lol Thoughts Next week I think I will deload. Hope everyone has a good long weekend. I'm off camping! IW |

Hoping to get my shoulder back to health this week and probably hit some maxes next week to set some starting points for 5/31. IW |

BW: 186.2lb Sounds a little high but my buddy's was high too. Scale may be off. Military Press bar x 10 95lb x 5 115lb x 4 125lb x 3 135lb 3x3 Deads mobility work 60kg x 5 100kg x 4 130kg 3x3 Pull Ups Various Widths bw x 10,8,7 Superset with...

enjoy the deload :)
|
Me and the old lady broke it off last night....
I'm sure it's very conducive to maximal weight training. Fuck. IW |
I'm very sorry to hear that. I hope it all works out well for you though.

Bench bar x 10 135lb 2x5 185lb x 4 205lb x 3 225lb x 2 245lb x 1 250lb x 1 255lb x 1 (10lb PR) Well I think this has been a long time coming and it took everything I had on this particular day. I saw spots after this one. Squats mobility work bw x 8 135lb x 5 185lb x 4 225lb x 3 255lb x 1 275lb x 1 285lb x 1 (Old PR) I had to call it off. I felt weak and my hip was hurting for some damn reason. I'll come back hard next week with more sleep. I think with good sleep I should have 295lb in the bank... Unilateral DB Rows 70lb 4x12 Did the wrong weight by accident here. Oops. Thoughts Well, for 5hrs sleep and considering my mood this workout was probably as good as it could have been. Thanks for the thoughts Anuj. IW |
what's that old saying...."break up with me once...shame on you. break up with me twice...shame on me." or something like that... :) you'll be allright man.
nice pr on the bench. |
Ya ya I know.
It seemed like the right thing to do at the time and then just slowly slipped back to exactly how it was before. I guess I should have seen it coming. Anyways, thanks for the kind words. I'd like to redo this max day because I know I have more in me than that... at least on squats. IW |
Tuesday June 1st/2010
Hill Sprints 10 cycles: Sprint up hill: walk down/around (1min) Wow, my conditioning has fallen off badly. We've pretty much had 6 weeks of rain here so I pretty much stopped cardio all together. Hopefully the weather will hold out a little better now. IW |
Nice bench PR
Sounds like its time to celebrate singlehood by sleeping with as many unsuspecting women as possible ; - ) |

Military Press bar x 10 95lb 2x5 115lb x 4 135lb x 3 155lb x 1 175lb x 1 180lb x 1 (5lb PR) Deads mobility work 60kg x 5 100kg x 4 120kg x 3 140kg x 1 160kg x 1 175kg x 1 (5 kg PR) I was thinking about trying 180kg but my back rounded a little bit on 175kg. I reviewed the video and it was pretty minor so maybe I'm just a bit paranoid. Pull Ups bw x 10,10,8 Getting better. BB Bicep Curls 55lb x 10,10,10,19 Thoughts Well my maxes turned out alright. I wasn't expecting any gains on military press but got a bit. I think I should have 180kg on deads if I can stay tight. Maybe next week. I'm uploading vids but it's slow as F right now. I'll get those up later. IW |
So I have my vids uploaded to youtube....
You can probably search them under mrstephenthomson and they should come up. How do I link them in here? I'm trying to prove to you guys that I really do exist. lol IW |
Just copy and paste the link from Internet explorer
Good to put a face to a name finally Dub!! |
Nice pull!!
|
I yes, it's so simple. lol
Thanks, Hits. Pressing 155lb x 1 with strict form Pressing 175lb x 1 (a slight drive from the legs) Pressing 180lb x 1 (a little more leg drive... I do it subconsciously... have to work on that) My 135lb x 9 press - pretty happy about this My training partner Scott's 210lb press like it aint no thang lol (@~355lb BW) Scott's 215lb press (10lb PR for him ... a bit ugly ... lol) My 160kg x 1 deadlift My 175kg x 1 deadlift (5kg PR) Scott's 202kg x 1 deadlift Hope you enjoy the vids. I don't think I'll be doing it all the time but it's handy for important sets that you'd like to check form against. IW |
maybe a slight round on the 175kg deads...looked good on the 160 though. nice pull though :)
|
Yes, there was and that is why I didn't attempt 180kg. It was a lot more slight on video than it felt though. I dunno, was I right in calling off the 180kg pull?
Just looking for opinions cause I know some guys can pull with a slightly rounded back and get away with it but it seems for me that my back must be weak or something because it gets injured quickly. IW |
you were right to call it off. also...get those damn heeled shoes off while you're deadlifting :)
|
Ya I usually wear skate shoes because they are real flat. I'm not sure what posessed me to wear these ones? Probably because I wore them the other day for sprints.

Hill Sprints 11 cycles: Sprint up hill: walk down/around (1min) Up one cycle. Felt better than the first time... Was also pretty hardcore today cause it was muddy/greasy. Made it a little more fun though... at least as fun as sprints can be. IW |

BW: 185.5lb with sweats on again ... this is about right. I think I'm up a little bit. Good. Front Squats mobility bar x 5 135lb x 5 165lb x 3 185lb x 3 205lb x 2 225lb x 1 245lb x 1 (10lb PR) Decline Bench 135lb x 5 185lb x 5 225lb x 3 245lb x 3 265lb x 1 275lb x 1 (10lb PR) Fuck yes! So happy to hit 275lb finally. It's just the right timing too because I won't be doing decline again for a long time. lol Stiff Leg Rack Pull 135lb x 5 225lb x 5 275lb x 3 285lb x 3 295lb x 3 DB Tricep Extensions skipped Thoughts I smoked this workout and it put me in a DAMN GOOD MOOD!!! WoohoO! Hopefully I'm fresh Monday and can rock squats. IW |

WTF!?!?!!! Needless to say I lifted like a big sack of shit and I should have just called the whole day off. Major piss off because I *know* I have that 295lb squat on a good day. ARG. IW |
