Started laughing making it so much harder. Holding at top laughing etc On the fourth set it got so bad laughing that i had to stop. Hence the 6 reps.

I started laughing when nothing was funny cos i kept imagining funny stuff lol

anyway got through it and through it well. Took it easy today. Got awesome pump though no pics. Ill show a vid soon also. benching particularly easy

You are going to me a monster by the time you hit 25 John.

I miss the days of joking around with my friends in the gym, we used to have some of the best workouts when we would just joke around.

Sounds like you have a very good environment to train in, i wish i could say that these days.

Keep up the good work Goudy!

[Ursus]

Toyed with teh idea of trianing today. Was tight in hams quads and calves. Nothing major just enough to make me think twice. Woke up at half 9 and once i was up i was dead on. I just have to talk myself into it a bit on saturdays lol

So i went down and took it easy on purpose. Was done within an hour and done enough. If i never squatted the next time i would have done it was thurs and that would have been 10days apart. So was best i did do it. Was very easy and back is recovering well. Quads getting thicker still and deadlifts increasing.

Anyway here is what i done

Legs/Lower back

230 4x5 (working to 4x10) done these in less than 6 minutes

deadlifts
300lbs 5x5 (feeling the way they used to. Are literally flying off the floor)

It was also so damn cold i could not keep a pump at all could see my breath in the gym. Maybe def take some on monday though and post them. Was just out of sorts yesterday.

I know what to do on monday however (maybe wednesday) and i will do it Here are the pics anyway.

[Ursus]

thanks for comment man Good luck with trianing

[MisterMagoo]

fucking hell you're jacked, dude. 

[Ursus]

cheers buddy.

Good to see you back on your thread posting workouts mate. Some impressive numbers for sure

[Ursus]

 made a decision. In my workouts i am diverging too much. I am just gonna stick to exactly what i am due to do on a certain day no matter how strong or good i feel.

e.g on shoulder day i maybe do lots of drop sets at the end...i have only started this and am feeling tired form it. Same on chest day. So i am gonna stick to exactly what i am due to do and see how it goes.

Its real cold these days. On my next bench press cycle which should start around december i am gonna widden my grip as its currently 2" inside the knurling...i have about 3" a side till my pinkies hit the rings so ill work on that.

Done, Looked good IMO after workout despite it being so damn cold. I was also assing about in gym doing vertical jumps with friends joking. We got the tape measure out and measured the height of teh fan (it was off) its 10' high. From a standing jump i could easily touch it. Despite my standing reach (8'3")being only 21" lower i was clearing it so much that we worked out my vertical must be around 25-26" (maybe more) i was very pleased and surprised by this at 231lbs lol I have never played basketball and my squat and dead are currently very low due to an injury. Whilst this is shit there are some young kids in my gym who at 5'11 can jump higher than me. He is 18 and around 160lbs though a good squatter (300lbs ass to grass)

Had fun in the gym today was good

Thanks man. I dont really understand what you mean. I assume you mean about the bar being very close to my body. That is they way you should deadlift. Dragging it up your shins. This is something i am learning to do. As regards to form i am not exactly the greatest instructor or teacher. I try to keep good form and it looks pretty strict to me. maybe someone else could comment.

Thanks for 'The beast' lol

the fight against gravity continues

LMAO

[Ursus]

CG Bench

Weighted dips

Skullcrushers (i think they are called)
played about working out what i could use getting form etc

Flyes s/s overhead tri ext
3 sets

Pushups

I was getting pumped for photos today as a testimonial on m,y trainers website. It was bitterly cold. Around 3 degrees in the gym. Snow up my area as well so so cold. Everything felt harder cos of this. Hands were sore. Hard to warm up and stay warm. Affected my workout and also my photos to an extent. Anyway.

In this cold weather i am thinking of seeing how current training goes. I ditched pushdowns...despite liking them in favour for lying skullcruchers...felt them in my tri in the inside had and feel like they are a good exercise with crossover to many other exercises. Also never hurt my tricepo which is still not 100% though not affecting me all that badly.

In a month or 2 i may decided to go on a shorter modified routine for strength. I may not. I benched last set wioth wider grip....soooo much easier was unreal to be honest. I might contimnue witjh  this teh next day see what happens.

Will post pics in a few mins when i get them lol

[Ursus]

legs very gradually improving...by thisntime i had no pump and couldnt care less lol...was too cold and my feet were like ice
