28/10/2013 | Cycle 6 Day 2 Deads
Yeeeeeeah i’m kinda fucking about with deads tbh, not really doing 531 for it. Doing more; 3 rep PR week 1, 2 rep PR week 2 and 1 rep PR week 3.
Deads
120k x 3 reps
135k x 3 reps
150k x 3 reps (PR)
Chins
5 sets x 8 reps
Bbell Curls
Bar x 5 sets x 15 reps
Nice PR on your deadlifts! It is nice to be able to add plates (however small) on TOP of the 3 per side…
Do you always wear a belt for deads? I have never tried one yet.
Cheers,
Needa

Thanks man.
Regarding the belt, I tend to just go by how my back feels on the day/set but I wear it more often than I don’t.
When I was a teen I used to think that it was lame to wear a belt, but after all the time off and therapy when my disc and low back muscles were beefed I began seeing things a little differently lol.

Sums up my feelings of that heinous thread on BSL finally being deleted perfectly.
IMO it didn’t get deleted because the good doctor
Scotland looks amazing
are you going to be doing BBB with different lifts for the 5x10s?

I’m interested in where the mods draw the line with threads and posts, like your continuation of 6 meals thread was swiftly deleted yet an obvious troll job by the prof didn’t…I do hope they continue to show more vigilance in the future.

Monday
Deadlifts
Chins 5 x 8-10 reps
Barbell curls 5 x 10 reps
Tuesday
Bench 531
Incline Bench 5 x 10 reps (50-55% of training max)
Pushdowns 5 x 15 reps
Thursday
Box Squat 531
Box Squat 5 x 10 reps (50-55% of training max)
Hamstring curls 5 x 10 reps
Planks/Ab work
Friday

M Press 5 x 10 (50-55% of training max)
Pushdowns 5 x 15 reps
31/10/2013 | Cycle 6 Day 4 Squats
My tailbone is still giving me bother, at the top of each rep of squats I was getting noticeable pain and between each sets I was getting an odd dull sensation along with the pain like I needed to take a shit…so I decided to do no accessory work incase it exasperated the problem ever more.
Box Squats
105k x 5 reps
112.5k x 5 reps
120k x 5 reps (beltless PR)
This is exactly how I feel attempting to complete and format my dissertation literature review…
I’ve just seen the Men’s Health cover model winner and he was a lot bulkier than I would have thought they were looking for. Not completely ripped of course but carrying a lot more bulk in general. Just thought I’d let you know mate! Have you seen it yet?

Thanks for letting me know, I will check it out tonight!
That’s the shit thing with the whole Men’s Health comp, it’s so ambiguous what they will go for from year to year cause the range of physiques vary greatly.

Speaking of the good doctor, haven’t seen him around in a bit… Wonder if he finally got the official boot?
Gettin’ strong in here bud. I remember how pumped I was the first time I benched 2 plates for a set of 5. Felt like I had crossed over into another realm of lifter, like I was semi-legit.
Hey Rattlehead, I was just wondering if you are going to any of the 2014 Commonwealth Games events and thought I’d let you know that there are still some Oly lifting events that aren’t sold out - I presumed they’d sold out long ago but I just got some tickets. Good job on the bench PR :).

Yeah, I’ve got tickets for the Olympic Lifting and closing ceremony. What specific days did you get for Olympic lifting?
And thanks sugar tits.

I don’t think we would ever be lucky enough for him to get completely taken off the site, I hope that he gets disallowed from creating threads from now on though since the majority of his are just race baiting, narcissistic, irrelevant pseudo science shit.
And thanks dude, hopefully I can get to that elusive 3 plate bench this time next year!

Lol. Awesome, we got the Mens 85kg preliminary on Mon 28th. Not a great one, but no finals were left and we both wanted to see 85kg because that’s a close weight to us.
