Building for a Better Tomorrow

Warm up on elliptical, then
Leg press 2,2x 140kg
Hammer row 2x50kg
Hammer pulldown 2x40kg
M/c press 2x35kg
Chest press 1x50kg
Face pulls 20x11kg

All reps done at 10/10 speed apart from face pulls. Nice to be back in the gym again, especially since most of the resolutioners seem to have stopped already.

Warm up, then
Incline bench 2x50kg
Narrow grip chin up 2x7kg
Band pull apart 3x23lbs

Fairly poor excuse of a workout tonight, no real drive or enthusiasm. On the bright side it has to get better and I did increase the weights slightly. All reps at 10/10 speed.

How are you feeling doing the 10/10s? Any results yet or too soon to tell.

Dresden · February 17, 2023, 7:57am

To be honest I’m not sure, it’s a painful way to do things and my shoulders and knee are certainly much better. Don’t think there has been any muscle gain yet but the weights have started to slowly increase at last. I’m giving it until the end of the month before deciding if I carry on with it or change things around.

Hammer pulldown 2x50kg
M/c press 3x35kg
Chest press 2x52.5kg
Face pulls 12x18kg

All at 10/10 speed except face pulls

Then decided to try squats just to see what they are like at 10/10 speed without really pushing it, 60kg was on the bar so used that. Did 2 reps power style and then 2 reps high bar style. Weight was way too light but legs were shaking during this anyway even with only 2 reps.

Did you see the article on here titled “Training Methods On Trial: Super Slow Training” ? Right up your alley.

Narrow grip chin up 2,2,1x7kg 10 breaths between groups of reps
Band pull apart 7x28lbs
TBDL 20x50kg

Machine row 3x55kg
Hammer pulldown 2x55kg
M/c press 2x40kg

23.03.23
Warm up, then
Incline bench 50 second negative 57.5kg
Narrow grip chin up 50 second negative 7.5kg
Dips 30 second negative, 15 second negative
Band pull apart 30 second negative 28lbs
TBDL 30/30/30x50kg

Aiming for 60 second negative on the incline and chins, and the dips were supposed to be 30/30/30 but couldn’t do a positive rep after the first negative so did a second negative. Band pull aparts were supposed to be 30/30/30 but was only able to do the first negative. Seem to be overestimating what I can do on things.

Today
Warm up on elliptical, then
Squat 30/20/0 70kg
Leg extension 30/10/15 40kg
Leg curl 30/30/30 35kg
Hammer seated row 30/30/30 50kg
Hammer pulldown 30/20 50kg
M/c press 60 second negative 42.5kg
Chest press 2x50kg 10/10 speed
M/c curl 2x40kg 10/10 speed
Face pulls 8x18kg

Judged the weights better this session, will probably move squats to after extensions and leg curls next time, should have done that today but got all excited when the power racks weren’t clogged up with people doing shrugs so did squats before it was too late. Legs didn’t want to work when I walked out. Decent session.
