Yeah mate immortal technique is the man, his three albums are all sick.

your making good progress to mate, I hope to have my dead lift numbers up to yours once I get my new plates. You workout at home or gym?

Thanks for reading me log, gets me motivated knowing some one does.

Trained with another mate today. Squats are feeling a little harder, although I am hitting a real good depth.

- Press: 56kg x 5/5/5
- Weighted Chin: 14kg x 8/8/8
- Squat: 115kg x 5/5/5
- Pendlay Row: 63kg x 8/8/8
- Core work between lifts
- Conditioning: My friend hadn’t used the Prowler before so I did a few 25 meter sprints with 40kg and a few without weight over the course of 8 minutes. It’s getting hot here, about 28 degrees today, so the Prowler is only going to get harder.

Conditioning:

- One mile run: 5:49

I ran with a mate who beat me by a couple seconds. I wouldn’t have run it that quickly without him pushing me.

- Light Squat: 87.5kg x 5/5/5
- Bench Press: 85kg x 5/5/5
- Deadlift: 147.5kg x 7
- Fat Gripz Barbell Curl: 34.5kg x 8/8/8 (2.5 minute rest between sets)
- Core work between lifts
- Conditioning: I thought I would try the Villain Challenge #1 just posted over at strength villain (http://strengthvillain.com/?p=117) and I got to 32 or 33 burpees in a little over a minute and my legs gave in way before my cardio did. So I did 5 sets of 15 in 30 seconds and called it a day.

All in all a very good session. Squats felt lighter than Monday despite the 2.5kg increase. Press is feeling strong. Pull ups are stagnating, I have gained a kilo or so though.

- Press: 57kg x 5/5/5
- Pull Up: BW x 16/12/7 (2.5 minute rest between sets)
- Squat: 117.5kg x 5/5/5
- Dip: BW x 20/14/10 (2.5 minute rest between sets)
- Core work between lifts
- Conditioning: Prowler sprints (loaded with 40kg x 25 metres x 13 in 8:00 minutes)

I got a Spud Inc neck harness last week and have been doing 4 sets of 25 on the days I don’t lift. I just couldn’t be stuffed trying to fit them in between sets along with core work.

Awesome session today, felt really motivated and aggressive and this was evident in my squat PR. Stoked!

- Bench Press: 86kg x 5/5/5
- Weighted Chin: 14.5kg x 8/8/8 (2.5 minute rest between sets)
- Squat: 120kg x 5/5/5 (!!!sets across PR!!!)
- Pendlay Row: 64kg x 8/8/8 (2.5 minute rest between sets)
- Core work between lifts
- Conditioning: Burpees - 30 in 90 seconds x 3 (1.5 minute rest between sets)

Thanks man!

I benched 91kg for a single set of 5 and 102kg for a single, both while one the Texas Method. For sets across my best is 87kg x 5 x 3, which I hope to equal this Friday and surpass next Wednesday.

[nkelman]

youll do it easy bro

Just going to go ahead and buy some more plates this weekend, i think my deadlift weight holding me down. your deadlift is 20something KG heavier than mines, do you think that helps you with stability?

[Jords]

I couldn’t go for my usual one mile run today due to the weather; my route would have been flooded.

Conditioning:

- Jump rope – 2 minute interval/ 4 minute Tabata/2 minute interval
