How come chuck?? stability? my arms were waving all over the place when first started to use them, but having a weakness in the left side means using the BB I'll fail earlier with the left, DB's I can work differently (that's when I remember to stop before I hit myself on the head

)

hey hey!

i had a few problems with the dumbells, mainly my own fault and probably all solvable

a) i did the first three sets with my palms facing inwards and didnt really feel it, depite the very very light weights i at leat expected to feel it due to it being a different movement, i did feel it on the 12 set
i then reverted to the proper way for 4

b) i dont know how to get them up effectively without buying cathchers
c) i dont know how to place them down again afterwards

so all in all i need to educate myself in the ways of db benching

davetherave · 24-06-2008, 10:55 PM

tag rugby again tonight,

nice and sweaty did 90 minutes, no break and went in various positions, mainly in defence in the centre which i assume is a hooker type position, i did ok considering im hopeless (if that makes sense

)

they also put me on the wing for a bit but after one good run i was fooked and my legs were fooked for the next half an hour

good fun though, spoke to a few others and got stuck in from the beginning this week unlike the tart that went last week

Not to be mistaken for winger.

davetherave · 25-06-2008, 08:20 PM

DOM city today from last night i am still planning on training though, i'm not sure if the back and bicep session will be sucessful though due to sore quads (upper part)and lower back

davetherave · 25-06-2008, 10:48 PM

back, biceps and traps

deadlifts
90kg 1x6
114kg 1x6
124kg 1x6
130kg 1x6

underhand chins
3x10

barbell bent over rows
60kg 1x8
70kg 2x8
74kg 1x8

barbell shrugs
100kg 1x8
120kg 1x8
130kg 1x8

* left it there
* not bad effort really seen as i have been walking round like john wayne today, i worked out where i did it, i was wearing trainers as i dont have any boots yet and when it got slippy through rain i went a over t twice, both times basically doing the splits
that might be why the top of my quads are killing me, that or running on the hard ground

davetherave · 28-06-2008, 01:18 PM

new one today i'm going to train legs today and hope that i do not get any grief when it comes to rugby on tuesday

im thinking of doing legs on a saturday for a few weeks but if i get in the team and start getting matches i'll have to change this and do chest and triceps before match day

it's all a bit on it's head at the moment

definately training legs today though

davetherave · 28-06-2008, 07:36 PM

legs and shoulders

squats
92kg 1x6
106kg 1x6
112kg 1x6
116kg 1x5.5 <<<PB POUNDAGE

standing military press (6ft bar)
57.5kg 1x6
67.5kg 1x6
69.5kg 1x6
72.5kg 1x6 <<<PB POUNDAGE

power cleans (no squat part, just slight dip)
40kg 1x6
50kg 1x6
64kg 1x6
70kg 1x6 <<<PB POUNDAGE

* fooking knackered now, PB city though - i'll double check on the power clean one though as its the only one im not 100% sure on
* military presses for first time since 3rd june
* i thought id knackered my hip on the second set of squats as i heard a loud snap, i decided to still try and get up and managed a few more reps, as soon as i racked the weight i realised the tie on my trackies had snapped, i was relieved hahaha

* nothing like some topless lifting to show you how much weight you need to lose

MrGum · 28-06-2008, 09:57 PM

davetherave · 28-06-2008, 10:37 PM
