Building Blocks

[Squatter]

Volume always seems to be tough no matter what the weight. At any rate, good to see you back lifting with anew journal and plan of attack.

Can't go wrong with Coach Fazc either!

Squat 60kg - 3 x 12
Bench 50kg - 3 x 12
SLDL 60kg - 3 x 12
BB Row 40kg - 3 x 12
OHP 30kg - 3 x 12
Chins B/W - 5, 5, 3 (13 in total)

Done in just under 40 minutes including warm up sets. Wrecked and felt like throwing up at the end

Great work K! Didn't know you started a new log, good stuff! Keep smashing!!!

Good Start Kuyt ... Since you are doing all the movements in a single session, Please pay attention to Fazc's comment's last 3 words specially ... Bring it on ...

High reps is tough when your conditioning sucks like mine lol!

Thanks Hunter. It was needed as injuries, lack of foundation and shoddy technique mean I'd be worse off in 5 years than now if I kept going in the same direction.

Thanks Ravi. I'll be paying attention to more than 3 words from el Coach Faz!

Thanks Steve. I gotta trust the process from the start this time. Losing the weight will probably help a lot.


Okay, dropped weight by 10kg on everything as this week is supposed to be an easy feeling out period and not a 'feel like puking' week. I have plenty of time for 'heroics' later! Light weights don't half give the old ego a bit of a slap though! Session took about 33 minutes including a 3-4 minute chat after squats with about the only guy in the gym that squats 3 plates for reps with depth and good form. Felt light and easy as it should.

SLDL 50kg - 3 x 12
Bench 40kg - 3 x 12
Row 30kg - 3 x 12
OHP 20kg - 3 x 12
Squat 50kg - 3 x 12
Chins B/W - 8, 5, 4 (17 reps)

Ya gotta put the primer on before the paint! However, I am wondering how long you can exercise patience before putting a little extra iron on the bar.

[MikeM]

Nice start, even better restart! Great work! I'll bet even the squatter you chatted up was impressed too, so don't worry about numbers yet.

[Fazc]

Good stuff.

Now you're not raping yourself you can work on form, each squat nice and deep. Benches smooth and compact, Stiff Legs smooth and slow.
