Everything seems back on track. repeated these weights due to the days off.
Found bench difficult but completed all set's. Squat was OK, a little slow but on a whole not bad. Dead lift was good, found the weight easier than a week ago. Previous PR for 1Rep was 155kg I'm only 3 workouts away!

Thought for the day:
Death, Do not be afraid of death. Death is merely the continuance of life,
just without all the breathing and stuff, eat spinach!

Sat 27 March

I wasn't feeling too hot on Fri so I trained to-day, I even phoned into work sick. I told my boss "I won't be in I have ANAL BLINDNESS", He says "what the fuck's that". I tell him " I can't see my arse getting out of bed all day".

The numbers,
squat - 2x5@20kg
1x5@45
1x3@70
1x2@95
3x5@107.5kg - 237lbs

press - 2x5@20kg
1x5@30
1x3@40
1x2@50
3x5@62.5kg - 138lbs

clean - 2x5@20kg
1x5@30
1x3@40
1x2@52.5
5x3@65kg - 143lbs

Good to-day all numbers are going in the right direction. When I begun SS on the 27/1 I tested my 1 rep max SQUAT WAS 110kg on mon I'll be cracking out sets across! My clean was 70kg so a couple workouts to go but defiantly getting close. Hay stop laughing I know the numbers are still shit but I'm quite pleased. Consistency is still my enemy.

Thought for the day,
journeys,Going on a journey? Make it a unique transformational experience. This is easily achieved by changing your underwear in the middle isle. There may be some discord for your fellow passengers, fear not, simply explain It's not an explosive device, it's a PENIS.

Tues 30/3

Afternoon all, consistency has eluded me once again but I did manage to get training today. wahoo.

Squat - 2x5@20
1x5@45
1x3@70
1x2@85
3x5@110kg - 242lbs this felt ok a little slow but still moving.

Bench press - 2x5@20
1x5@45
1x3@65
1x2@85
3x5@100kg - 220lbs really fucking heavy. last rep of each set was a grind. If I had been using a spotter on the last set he would have been shouting " ALL YOU MATE, ALL YOU" then I would have to had shove a bar bell up his arse. But like I said to the wife last night " I got it up baby ".

Dead lift - 2x5@60
1x5@85
1x2@120
1x2@145
1x2@145
1x1@145 -322lbs I felt a little tweak in my lower back on the 2nd rep so I broke it up and by the last rep I was fucked. I think because I was in a hurry and did extra warm up reps by mistake this may be due to fatigue I'm going to repeat this weight before moving on.

Thought for the day,
Pets, show your animal companion your appreciation for them by alowing them to come on your next Tantric studies weekend.

[DustyMillar]

Ok I have been training just not posting I really am a lazy shite.

I haven't been staying on strict SS but here is what Iv'e been at.

1x3@65kg-143lbs 1st rep good 2nd rep push press 3rd rep FAIL.

Clean- didn't do any cleaning this day the gym had no power and as I couldn't
see the bar by the end of my presses, thought I'd call it a day.

Due to power outage and lack of light at the gym I didn't train until the following
Thursday, 8/4/10.
I was just arsing about this day.
Bench press- 2x5@20
1x5@45kg
1x3@65kg
1x2@85kg
3x6@97.5kg-214lbs Iv'e been stalling @ 100kg
Then I did Burpee/pull-up's X 50 appox 7min.

Today Sat 10/4
Squat -2x5@20kg
1x5@45kg
1x3@70kg
1x2@95kg
3x5@112.5kg - 248lbs I was surprised at this seeming a lot easier than a week ago.

press -2x5@20kg
1x5@30kg
1x3@40kg
1x2@50kg
3x5@65kg-143lbs again very surprised I just ate this up to day.

then did a wee METCON
10-8-6-4 of
pull up's
box jumps
sit up's

I know this off program, I could do with a little advice. I want to add a metcon element to my training. Should I do the SS program as prescribed and do a quick metcon afterwards? do a metcon on a separate day? or slim the program down like I did today? Any thoughts would help!

Thought for the day:
Saying "yes", learn to say "Yes" to yourself. If yourself gets too demanding learn to say "We'll see" or "Not right now" or "Maybe later".

1x5@50kg
1x3@75kg
1x2@100kg
3x5@115kg - 253lbs First time using a belt to-day I seem to be between belt holes can't get the smallest holes and the next size up I think isn't tight enough. But the squats went well.

Bench press - 2x5@20kg
1x5@45kg
1x3@65kg
1x2@85
3x5@100kg - 220lbs I have been finding this weight a real grind. completed all reps though. 102.5kg next time.

1x3@85kg
1x2@120kg
1x5@145kg - 319lbs Not to good to day first time with a belt, DIDN'T LIKE IT.
1 rep then had to reset, 3 reps then 1 rep. not sure what happened here had the same sort of experience at this weight before. I think I'll add 5lbs next time see what happen's.

finished with 10,8,6,4 of pull ups, box jumps, sit ups.

And a thought for the day:
Your mind, Your mind is like a motorway it can sometimes become jammed with too much traffic. This is easily remedied, avoid the jams by never using your mind on bank holidays.

Mon 19th

Squat - 2x5@20kg
1x5@45

3x5@117.5kg - 259lbs

working sets,
1x4@67.5

Didn't clean to day just messed about with chin ups. Try'd out a new chin/dip belt got bored after doing singles up to 20kg. (1.25kg increments).


Thought for the day:
Development, When you have a particularly bad day and feel that you are going nowhere FAST. I like to look for the positive wherever I can find it. On these days I consider a HARD-ON as personal growth.

[kittenSmash]

Good progress man, especially with the missed days. And this log is hilarious, glad I found it.

[DustyMillar]

Thanks for the support Kittensmash. I'm really quite fucked off with my self, no matter what I do I can't see to get to gym more than 2 times a week, if I'm lucky, at the min. But next week WILL BRING CHANGE. I just need to survive this weekend long STAG DO . Where I intend to try and pickle my self in GUINNESS. Then because I've been pickled and will there fore be preserved for ever I may find the to time train consistently.

I reckon my numbers would go through the roof if I was lifting 3 days a week.

Thought for the day:
Holidays, Valentines day - for your girlfriend , Mothers day- for your mother, Fathers day - for your father. How about you? What's out there just for you? Well think on this " STEAK, BLOW JOB AND SHUT THE FUCK UP DAY " It's self explanatory, its simple, its just for us guy's.

(lets see hallmark screw with that!)

The last day we were in Ireland, my wife looked at me and said, "Your eyes are yellow." As it happened, we'd both forgot to drink water while we were there. All we drank the entire time was Guinness (other than coffee at breakfast). Well, I had a Smithwicks in Kilkenny. Apparently, we'd both become jaundiced from too much beer. Good luck on the pickling this weekend!
