Haha.
You should try living in a country town. The 2 main gyms close at 7pm everyday and dont even open on a Sunday. There is a 24 hour gym, but they dont have many free weights… and its full of douchebags.
What do you do for hip mobility? Agile 8?

No, I just some basic revolving, some climber jumps (don’t know how else to describe them) and anything that feels right. As you can tell, I don’t really pay attention to mobility and stretching.

Woke up, ate a bit and went to the gym. Bad idea. Everything felt heavy. But I got all the required reps in, so I am not complaining.
Squat
160kgx5x3
Bench press
95kgx5x3
Cable seated rows, because I didn’t fell like loading and unloading another barbell
90kgx5x3
Hanging leg raises
1x12
6kgx8
DB curls
18kgx5
18kgx8, I never thought my biceps were this strong.
Streched my whole lower body AND my SI joints which feel a lot better now.
19/4/12
Squat
165x5x3, good. Strength is coming along nicely.
Deadlift
175kgx5, a bit more difficult than I could have liked.
Military press
55kgx5x3, yeah I know my overhead pressing strength sucks. But now than my shoulder issues have been solved, this should fly way up, with my bench. If not, I will sit in a corner and cry like a baby.
Pull ups
BW 10kgx5x3, easy
Triceps, 2 sets of 8
Some external rotations and that’s it. Called it a day. If in the beginning of summer, I can squat 250kg, I will be the happier guy on earth. Especially since my eating pretty much sucks. Just like Mick manley, I hate food.
keep up the great work you are making great progress. maybe you should try some range of movement weights that flow a bit better, helps with your range of move ment and flexibility.

You mean like taking an empty barbell and staying in the hole for a couple of minutes? I do that occasionally.

Sorry buddy. I didnt write that. My gf got onto my computer and thought she would help you out a bit. I have banned her from my computer. It wont happen again.
The only exercises I truly endorse is heavy ass squatting and sprinting.

I have to say, I was dumbfounded for a second there. But now everything is clear again LOL.

I have to fucking eat more. I have stayed in 95 kg 3 weeks now,FFS.
Today’s training:
Squat 170kgx5x3, good.
Bench 100kgx5x3, I have to get someone to unrack the bar for me. Doing it myself is goddamn hard and messes with my setup.
Cable rows 100kgx5x3, everytime I use a different grips for these.
DB curls, 20kgx8 per arm
Hanging leg raises 12kg x6,x8
That’s all. Strength is coming along nicely. Once I start eating, mys trength will go up in incredible amounts LOL.
25/4/12
Squat
175kgx5x3, good. I grinded the reps out, but it all went well. From now on, I gues it is 2,5kg jumps.
Deadlift
180kgx5, wore a pair of high socks today, so I got into a much better position since I didn’t mind the bar touching my shins. This could easily be a 12 rep set.
Military press
60kgx5x3, good. I suck at overhead pressing.
Pull ups 16kgx5x3, easy.
That’s all. Decent workout.
Yeap, I suck. I got a girlfriend and training has been sucky. Eating also. Will traing again tomorrow.

Squat
40kgx10
60x8
80x5
100x2
120x1
140x1
160x1
180x4
200x1
Speed Deadlifts
100kgx2x5, really fast. I think I should increase the weight a little.
Deadstop Good mornings
100kgx8x3, easy, but my lower back started acting up, so I stopped.
I am moving to a more specialized plan, because I was way too bored to do 3x5 everytime. One day will be heavy squat/speed deadlift or the opposite, the other day will be heavy upper body and probably some speed bench in the beginning and the third day will be abs and back. Sounds awesome.
2/5/12
Bench press
barxsome
40kgx8
60kgx5
70kgx3
80kgx2
90kgx1
100kgx1
110kgx5, decent set, the last one was a real grinder. The bar died midway up.
Incline press
60kgx10, normal grip
60kgx8, wider grip, way too easy
60kgx3, close grip, wat to difficult. I found which exercise I am going to bring up in order to increase my bench LOL.
DB press
22x8x2, good, but my shoulder hurt in the front. Felt like bone on bone pain. Not good. Overhead pressing is not for me, but I still keep doing it, God knows why. I will have an x-ray done in the near future to see what the fuck is wrong with it.
Side laterals
10kgx10x2, just to pump some blood in the mucle.
DONE. All in all, good workout. Considering the fact that I have lost 2-3kg’s, now sitting at 93kg, the numbers are going good.
3/5/12
A pretty typical bodybuilding back workout. Seated cable rows, t-bar rows, pull ups, rear delt swings and 6 sets of biceps. Didn’t give the weight any care nor the reps, but they were more than 10 and less than 20 LOL.
4/5/12
4 words: MY LIFE IS BRO!
Damn, I had forgotten how awesome sex is…LOL. But, to be honest, as we say here in Greece, if you get the masturbation right, sex has nothing on it.

Some snatches, some leg curls.
Abs, 6 sets
DONE. Decent workout, some SI joint pain and piriformis tighness and pain, but nothing major. Just some to piss me off.
