Thought I’d make a come back and start a new log, the last one went a bit off track.
Been in lockdown for something like 15 weeks now, but still training hard at home. Been bubbling with my training partner, he’s going for the Irish 120kg+ bench record, this year or next, inspite of having and still getting cancer treatment.
This video was in February, he’s now up to a 208kg TNG double…and a 197.5kg paused single
Some shoulder assistance…
Still focusing on deadlifts and pressing myself, everything else is gravy, been able to dead bench again for the first time in 2 years, albeit with a slightshot…still, I’ll take it.
Nightmare mate, hopefully your back to full power soon. My 29yo nephew was one of the first people to get it here, he’s only getting back to training now 13 months on.
All good here mate, just wish this lockdown would end, we’re in good shape so hopefully won’t be too long now. Busting to get back till the gym lol
This was after Zercher Squats, to Finnish we salted in some power curls.
Atm, we’re pretty much doin Z squats, bench, and a curl one workout, 72 hours later Deads and OHP. If A Marty Gallagher inspired minimalist style workout. Before each workout lots of prehab band work for the shoulders.
Got a sneaky gym workout in today, cant wait till they’re open again here proper on the 30th.

Best workout I’ve had in a while, really looking forward to next Friday when the gyms reopen here, getting fed up with home training, better the nothing…but not the same.
Gyms reopen officially here tomorrow after 4 and a half long months. So looking forward to getting back, my mental state hasn’t been too good this last few months tbh.
Decided to stop using the test, seems to do little for me bar give me dull headaches, make me a bit lethargic and increase my BP. Gonna give my body of break and get back to basics, clean eating / healthier foods, fasting, drinking plenty of water, getting the right amount of sleep / rest, and of course hard but brief training 2-3 days per week.
Didn’t enjoy this session, those machines don’t feel like a natural way to training legs at all, my quads are fatguied yes, but my knees and back are sore from the fixed movement patterns. Going forward I’ll be sticking with squat and deadlift variations, plus some good orl heavy prowler pushes.
Hey mate, thank you. Hopefully ill get a bit stronger, i hope to compete in a masters deadlift / log press show later this year or next next.
Currently am 301lbs at 6’4. Ive lost 7lbs in the last few weeks. The plan is to be 280lb by my 44th birthday in mid June. We’re just out of a18 week lockdown, so the pounds went on lol
