Going Down Fighting!

Your just jealous Pig man :hamster:

Was just discussing with a friend at the gym how lying leg curls with a DB between the legs (especially lying upright on a decline bench so you’re more perpendicular to the ground at the peak contraction) are one of the best hamstring exercises. You don’t need a lot of weight at ALL and they burn like crazy. Safe, effective. Can’t beat it.

That being said, even I don’t want to do 100 reps with a 5KG DB. Ow.

Yeah 5kg is so light it’s not funny but fuck it burned!

In boot camp, we were given empty mesh laundry bags weighing maybe half a pound and made to hold them out in front of us for like 15 minutes, getting smacked in the arm every time we dropped our arms. When it was over the drill instructor was like ā€œthat was a laundry bag, pussies. Imagine what I’m gonna do to you with some real equipment.ā€ He was true to his word. Light weights to legitimate failure still scare me more than any other type of set.

Squat Saturday

Decided to squat in flat shoes for a change, I actually really liked the feel of it, I’ve squat in heeled lifting shoes for years, and before that was bare foot.

lots of iron being moved in here Luc, quality mate

Is the top set a daily 3RM weight?

1 Like

Thanks mate, didn’t really plan today, just lifted some shit! 180kg is an easy weight I can crank for at least a triple, any day of the week :+1:
I do however treat every set like it’s a ton to help with the mindset of stopping in and getting out of the hole. Last week on lower fluff Day I absolutely fried my legs with only 80kg on the SSB.

Enjoy the winter. I miss winter lifting already. Summer is just too hot

Haha, I like winter too, I quite like summer too though. Ours was crazy this year, only 6 weeks ago we were still having days of 37*C.

need longer DB’s I think, or 7.5kg plates to fit more on comfortably. I’ve had 50kg on them with 5kg plates, but the lock only just fits, haha.

Not the usual metal blaring outta the garage this Arvo, some old Beatnuts instead, bit of a change in pace, takes me straight back to ripping around the streets in the old MK2 Cortina in the early 90’s :open_mouth: I’m old!

Have missed the last couple of sessions due to working on cars. Had to out new springs and all new control arms in the Jeep, all went well, just took a while. Then spent half of Saturday and most of yesterday helping a mate change the front struts in his FJ cruiser, that was a pain!

Weighed myself the other morning, 98kg :scream: lightweight! Have been walking a shitload and cut out any crap!
