This Mouse will ROAR - Training Log

[Mouse]

Big thanks to everyone for the interest and comments in my log - it's appreciated and great motivation.

The Mouse family is flying off to Majorca tomorrow for a week in the sun so I won't be posting.
Will have to try to do some BW exercises while away - although that usually means drinking beer

Back for 2 days then away for 4 days with work - so all in all it's going to be about 2 weeks before i'm back under the weights.

Try not to miss me too much - i'll be thinking of you all toiling away under heavy loads - no doubt i'll be playing catch up again on my return.

Shit, you made 5x160kg ...
I just failed the last rep.

Why 3x10 on squats ?

Keep those numbers going up up up

Nice big day, Mouse (but you owe us a big set of BP, my friend).
Well done getting to a high point before departing on your trip.
Come back rested and fulla beer. We'll be creeping up on your numbers in the meantime

Hey mouse. Bet those tree trunks are a nice shade of ebony now, should go well with the 'whities' at the next photo shoot! Hope you all had a good holiday

Nice deadlift, it makes you officially strong in my book, a man who could, head held high, walk into any gym and not feel out of place.
Now the quest to become officially very strong begins.

The holiday and a rest from the weights will most likely do you good. I've always found that strength declines much slower than fitness.

Welcome back, Mr. Mouse. How did the vacation go?

Good thanks Guru - going to take a while to catch up on the forum though

Probably far too many cervesas and junk food - but that's what a holiday is for.

Bit of extra BW might help with 190kg deadlifts!

Welcome back dude.

Monday 8 June 09
Box Squats - 100kg 5x5
Press - 40kg 3x5
DL - 145kg 1x5
Chins - BW 5x2

2 weeks off? Felt more like 2 months off
Squats - tried these off a low box after reading up on them today - tough but no dramas
Press - had deloaded to this prior to the break - not bad
DL - my hands must have softened up as i felt every rep in them - otherwise great
Chins - I must keep doing these, I must keep doing these, I must...........

Felt so tempted not to WO tonight - so easy to get out of the habit - glad to be back though - it can only get better

[markg]

Get stuck in son! Know what you mean about getting out of the habit. First time back is so easy to put off.

Keep doing those chins!

Cheers Mark - all I wanted to do was sit on the sofa and watch some rubbish on TV - but his little voice in my head kept saying - "come on you fat lazy lump of lard - H will be dead lifting more than you soon" - that was enough
