I really debated about starting a log. This journey gets very personal at times. It's hard to announce to the world things you didn't even want to admit to yourself. But that's why I did it. It needed to be right in front of me so I could deal with it head on. And I needed support to get through it. Who would have thought I'd find that here of all places. :lol: But I did. These guys have been a great help and encouragement through some tough times for me and they probably don't even realize it. - Pagangoddess

I sure am - will PM on return from NY to sort out the finer details.
Now is that 7 pints in the afternoon in August? I did read that right didn't I?

Hey mouse. Those squats are looking really good, and so are the DLs. SLDLs at 110kgs are to be respected as well! 8)

Damn that Friday workout must have been tiring!

Do you use the 10 reps on the down-slope of your DL ramp purely as a warmdown or is there a focus on extra volume?

Thanks for looking in dylanamus.
It's more of a volume thing I guess. If i'm not doing a 1x5 main work set and only doing singles or doubles, I feel a bit cheated by not doing a bit more.

Monday 13 July 09
Squats - 135kg 3x3 100kg 1x10
Bench - 60kg 3x3
R Dips - 15kg 3x10

Squats - 135s felt heavier than on Friday. 100x10 left me sweating nicely though.
Bench - light night.
R Dips - solid and room for more weight.

Ah - stroll on Wednesday - I need some milk.

Wednesday 15 July 09
DL - 190kg 4x0

Just wasn't there - tried 4 times but it was well and truely stuck to the floor.
I guess that's how it goes - maybe just not quite ready - it'll come though.

I know that feeling when the bar does not want to move, all in good time mate.
Rere's training log II
The squat, press, deadlift, and bench press have been used for decades by the strongest athletes on the planet. There is good reason for that. Any program that doesn’t use them is inferior to one that does.
