Well yesterday i redid this weight with no problems, breezed through them.

122kg on friday lets blast them n all:gun:

Did 125kg for 15 on Friday just gone, but i had a pain in my right forearm, (from a couple of days previous) and was causing my grip to go to quickly to bring the weight up and back down in a timely fashion.

so tomrrow im either going to redo the 125kg for 20 reps or go straight for 126kg see how im feeling i think.

As long as your feeling confident that theres no injury there, go for it Dale

Beat the 125 1st tho mate, but then again 1 kg extra won't hurt i suppose

Seems like i wont be training till friday now anyhow, was really tired today last few days have been a bit hard, and could tell this morning i wouldnt be up to doing deads, and ive now gota work tomorrow as one of the other chefs is stuck in london so ive gota cover :@ grr.

ill redo the 125kg get that nailed first then, then do the 126kg next week.

forearm seems ok now, dont think it was an injury, i noticed it the day before training when i was carrying my new 42inch TV lol, the muscle below the elbow on the forearm was very hard and felt bruised, seems fine now though (punching it lol)

I've got to ask, why so many reps on deads?

20 Rep Rest-Pause Deads are an old school training routine

[newkidonthebloc]

Ay,

i do several warm up sets going from 10,5,4,3,2,1

these are normal no stopping between reps, the rep 1 is the previous weight, then i start the 20 rep rest/pause at 1k heavier than before.

[newkidonthebloc]

work is **** today :(

[robbiedont]

Where do you get .5kg weights from at fitness first?!?!

[newkidonthebloc]

i aint training at FF mate, for that very reason, the weights increasement is to high, iirc 1.25 is the smallest so thats 2.5kg smallest increasement, big difference between that and 1kg

Forgot to write in last week but i did the 126kg instead of doing 125kg again, was happy with doing 15 at that weight that it was enough to continue.

Doing deads tomorrow along with mil press and chins, gona do 127kg tomorrow see how they go, pretty confidant.

on a plus note, i wrote my weight down when i got bk from italy end of july and it was 137.2 lbs (girly weight i know ;)) im currently 152.4 both weights were taken atthe same time of the day, late afternoon thats a progress of 15.2lbs in 5 months, on a diet that ive not really stuck to, lol. just been eating more than usual. really wana boost this up, and actually stick my diet but i find eating the same food over n over boring, and especially when its premade meals easy to consume i like to spend a bit of time on my dinner, but dont always have it, anyhow its late, and i need some sleep for tomorrow so im out..
