NEPA: 1 hour walk with the babycarridge before breakfast.

started my 2 week ab-blitz cycle. the deadlift complex busted me. as i heard rammstein screaming:“mein hertz brennt” i thought to myself, yes it does. and by the time Ich will was done i felt a little better. music can have a mood enhancing effect sometimes. started lighter on the benchcomplex this time around as i didn’t do the DL one first last time.

somedays when i feel like crap and end up feeling like a stomped on turd after my workout i start accusing myself of all kinds of stuff. guess the low carb diet isn’t helping on the mood either.

tomorrow is pulse fast day and back workout. not looking forward to it, but i do not want to let myself down again. this summer i’m winning the diet-contest. (me and a friend has a bet here) but it’s more at stake than just come price. it’s about prooving to myself and my peers that working out has a profound effect on body composition. i wanna look like a train, not just talk like i do. if u get my drift. /rant end and get my ass to bed.

27.04.11 back thickness workout.

NEPA: morning stroll with the baby again, 1 hour. the fasted morning walks are growing on me, i just hope they do what they should with my fat depositories.

mid day workout:

A1 facepull 30x10, 35x10, 40x10, 45x10, 60x10
A2 rear delt 6x10, 6x10, 8x10, 8x10, 8x10

B1 seated row 2 sec hold 55x10, 60x10, 60x8, 60x8
B2 straps rear delt 8 reps on all 4 sets

C power high pull 50x5, 55x5, 60x5, 60x5, 60x5
D power shrugs 70x5, 75x5, 80x5, 85x5, 90x5
E strikt shrugs 60x12, 60x12, 60x12, 60x12

felt better today, probably due to the fact that i ate some carbs for breakfast (bowl of oatmeal with loads of cinnamon and a tablespoon of honney) along with the normal 4-egg-omelet. (4 eggwihtes 1 yolk) and some smoked ham. even alowed myself an apple with my first sips of the workout drink. (it contains 60g carbs and 20g protein, then 30g protein after the workout and a solid meal 1-2 hours after that)
those carbs did good during the workout, and i don’t think it’s overdoing it even on a fatloss plan.
so yeah, no fast day today afterall, i felt like i needed a refeed or whatever, nothing was working as it should, and i do need to recover some aswell when i’m training every damn day.

halfbreed out.

You’re putting in some damn good work man, dieting is rough shit and you’re kicking ass. No harm in some carbs if you put them to use properly! I can eat a crap meal right after training and feel like a million bucks. If I eat it and don’t train…fail whale!

Keep killing it, and kick your buddies ass in your diet-off!

thank you good sir! you’re too kind. hehe.
impressive 345 reverse band vid man, keep piling on those plates!

intresting test, someday i’ll preform it for the major lifts (aka 5/3/1 lifts) to get a better idea on how i’m put together. i’m leaning towards slow twitch dominant. but i have to test it first.

28.04.11

NEPA: 45min Morning stroll with the baby and visiting the kiderguarden she’ll be attending from august. nice ppl there =)

DB 20 sec speed press 11kg DB’s on all 6 sets
feet elevated plyo pushup 9reps, 9, 9, 8, 9, 9

finally managed to leave some ego at home, or was it because i was feeling beaten up i reduced the weights and got better overral form and speed.

21:30 Squat complex

abs
A1 side bends:each side; 18x12, 22x12, 26x12
A2 Hanging legraise to the sides; 8 rep each side all 3 sets

shoulder TLC:
very light lat raises and rear delt raises then holding a rope and raise overhead and around doen to the other side and back 10 times. it’s helping me achieve the “shoulder shelf” for pushpress and frontsquat, as opposed to haing the bar on my calvicae bone wich really friggin hurts if you do a power clean…

thank you and goodnite!

Haha, I’m trying man!

And heavy ass side bends are where it’s at. Try loading a couple plates on a t-bar station and grab the post with one hand, like it’s a big DB, and do like 12 reps per side. OUCH!

i forgot to do measurements at the beginngin, but weight and bf% is the same as 1.5 weeks ago.
my girlfriend (altho a subjective view) says i’ve grown in the right places.
thinking/planning on doing the warrior diet/pulse feast. wich kinda is the same thing. just nice to see someone like thibs back up the eating big at night theory. I did try warriors diet a long while ago, and it was scary to loose 4kg in 1 week. mostly water ofc, but the wierd thing was i didn’t feel apathy during the day like i feared i would. I’m normally quite the food processing factory when i eat, wich is the reason i’ve been 20%++ bf for a loong time.

suprised myself a little today. using the shrugged shoulder technique from CT completly removed the usual strain on the front delts, good thing indeed as it seems my form was good and led to a somewhat rep PR. (i’ve done 100x3 before, but not for 3 sets) rested minimal between alls sets.

and, is it just e or do the triceps tolerate a sick ammount of work? I didn’t go all out today but they never get sore, even tho i get a good pump. hmmmm.

forgot to log my saturday workout:

A: Squat barx10, 40x6, 60x5, 65x4, 70x5, 75x5, 80x3, 85x5, 90x6, 95x4 (belt on) 100x3, 105x1, 110x2
80x8+4

C1: cable crunches 60x8, 65x8, 75x8
C2: sidebends 31x6, 36x6, 42x6

I’ve been having lowerback problems while squating and deadlifting lately. poor form problems that is. So today i just wanted to see how high i could go, focusing on correct form. arched or atleast straight back, knees not bending inwards. I really had to focus on each rep, thats why there was some sets at 3 and some at 5-6 reps. I wanted each set to have atlest 3 good reps with perfect form.

gonna do a similar thing when i do deadlifts next time.
