Yeah no strength loss there!

[MikeM]

66? A little over 2 a minute? Holy volume batman. I was shooting for like 50, maybe. We'll see tomorrow.

And yeah, the guy with 88 has to be a madman.

[EliteDreams]

Oh you little maniac,great deads!

[Kuytrider]

Thanks gang, but it was conditioning rather than strength

Sat 8 Dec 2012
Cycle 1 Week 1 Shoulders & Gunz Strength
Push Press
72.5kg: 6 sets of 3 - Easily a volume PR. Not sure if I have ever lifted more than 75x3 and that was for 2-3sets. Even so, that was 20 pounds ago. Barring one or two reps, these flew up.

Seated DB Shoulder Press
22.5kg: 10, 8, 7 = 25 reps Need 3x10

Seated DB Curl
17.5kg: 8, 7, 7 = 22 reps Again, need 3 x 10

Side DB raise
10kg: 3 x 10

Hammer Curls
20kg: 3 x 10 - Forearms on fire

Upright Rows
35kg: 8, 6 - These sucked and not performed correctly
25kg: 1 x 10 - better technique

Reverse Curls
25kg: 3 x 10 - Bloody forearms again!

Cosgrove Complex
25kg: 6 reps, 5 reps, 4 reps

This involves deadlift, RDL, Row, Hang clean, front squat, overhead press, back squat and good morning. 6 reps of each, then 5, then 4. Upping the weight to 30kg.

Russian twist 8kg ball
2 x 25

Legs tomorrow

Thanks Steve. Nah, it's all about the toning

Cycle 1 Week 1 Legs Density
My legs hate Steve right about now

Squats
warm ups 20, 40, 60, 80
100kg: 6, 7, 6, 6, 5 = 30 reps which was the target.

Been sometime since I did this many reps at 2pps. Probably not a volume PR but still a good session. Changed my stance so it is much narrower and bodybuilder-esque. Still able to get fine depth and my legs have never been more sore after a squat session. I assumed by quads would be murdered but my hammies got a pounding too as I drove up the reps.

Seated Calf Raise
40kg: 15, 12, 15

RDL
110kg: 8, 7, 7, 5, 5, 4, 5 = 41 reps, 35 rep target. Just brutal

Leg extensions
Pin 15: 11, 8, 8, 7, 7, 5, 7 = 53 reps, 40 rep target

Crunches with 15kg plate
5 x 20
