The last set of BP off of pins, i lowered the weight to the pins a lot faster than the previous 2 sets. My aim is to help ‘in the hole’ with normal benching. But i also feel it so much in my chest starting from chest height.
Alright session, good pump. The flat was extremely hard as im coming down with a sinus infection or something. Extremely hard to breathe etc.
This session was hard and it wasnt with the best prep. Just woke up and went.
Ive had something wrong with my sinuses or something for the past 2 weeks, and when im benching heavy i go completely deaf with a searing pain in my head. Its almost unbearable, trip to the docs i think.
All in all, a shit sesssion.

Gonna do 3 sets of press ups in a bit, when my left pec calms down a bit
Get to the docs man so you can keep killing it! 100 x 7 bench isn’t bad considering it sounds like you are in a hell of a lot of pain! Thought the violent cough I’ve got going was bad. Guess I’ll live.
Who do you play for fella? I noticed that you live around London as well. I played for Blackheath 2’s and development before the commute from north London 3 times a week got too much. Played some social stuff last year but looking forward to getting back into it properly this season.
Nice lifts as well. Its always a nice confidence boost when your lifts are going up consistently.

I play for your arch rivas mate!
I probably know a load of people you know, but obv i wont mention names on here. I dont like doing that.
I tried PM’ing you but it wont let me!
What club do you play for in N london now? I was so looking forward to playing properly again, but my knee is winning the battle atm :([/quote]
Dartfordians or Westcombe park?! Had some good games against both those teams. I feel the same about naming names over the net. The chances are weve played against each other if you’ve ever played Blackheaths second or devs team. Last season I played for Southwark Lancers who play in Kent 2. It was really nice only having to train once a week and be guaranteed a game at the weekend. I work in the city so it only takes me 10 minutes to cycle from there to Peckham where they train.
I’m going to do the same this year. I know I’m no where near good enough to play at semi pro level so I’m just going to enjoy my rugby. Gives me a bit more freedom to do what I want in the gym as well. I work at a gym in farringdon so your more than welcome to come down and train if you ever want a change of scenery. We have a squat rack, 3 or 4 adjustable benches and dumbbells up to 60kg. Almost everything you ever need.

I’ll try and sort my PM function out.

I didnt know Darts were Club’s rivals? I played for Combe!
I know what you mean about freedom and no pressure. Thats why I kinda stopped playing properly, just fell out of love with it. But sod’s law, when i get the fire back, i get injured

Just looked at your pics mate, and you’re built!
What position do you play?
You should get a log going, i would certainly follow[/quote]
Cheers mate, appreciate the comments. I like to think of myself as an Austin Healy style utility back! 9 is my first choice position but I filled in on the wing and at 10 a few times last season. How about yourself?
I did start a log but I was far too slack with it. I might start it up again now pre season is all but over.
^^^^ day before that session, i did a back workout but wrote it down on a random bit of paper… it was the same as this session, but different numbers (hopefully)
BB ROW (2 second squeeze at top and 2 second hang) ONE ARMED DB ROW (1 sec squeeze and hang) superset
20 x 10 21 x 5
30 x 8 21 x 5
40 x 8 21 x 5
50 x 8 21 x 5
60 x 6 21 x 5
minimal rest, about 30 seconds. I really wanna concentrate on feeling my lats, and not just shifting heavy weight. I have a great mind muscle connection with / in? my lats, so hitting them is easy.
Your delts must be blowing up by now with all that shoulder work! Congrats on the new employment, hope this one keeps money the money coming in for ya.
