Training Logs
#1

Running a training log on a couple sites. Since I’m here more often now, might as well start one here also. Not going to go in depth with my background, will answer any questions any body has on it however.

Coming off a recent elbow dislocation in February. Not yet back to where I was in terms of size and strength, but I am very close. Right now I’m on a more strength based program of my own design, formulated from personal experience. Basic breakdown:

  • ME Pressing with DE Pulling
  • ME Squats with Hamstring + Calves
  • ME Pulling with DE Pressing
  • DE Squats with Miscellaneous

Tomorrow is my ME pulling with DE pressing day, so I’ll provide a little more in depth insight into my training style.

Should mention I’m only mentioning the sets that matter in this log. I do a number of ramping sets leading up to that/those sets. I also train with a lot of volume.

Hey thanks for stopping by.

I’m near Geelong.

I really don’t need to think about it too much, as I generally use the same weights. Only time I might need to actually plug it into the calculator is when I’m doing a max effort set and I’m using an unfamiliar weight. But I have become pro at multiplying and dividing by 2.2 :slight_smile:

ME BENCH + Shoulders, Triceps, Upper Back/Lats

Very good session. Can’t remember when I last inclined pressed with dumbbells but absolutely stoked that I hit a repetition PR on those especially AFTER a heavy set of flat bb pressing and considering this is POST injury.

Was meaning to pin press but the floor presses had to suffice. Better I keep it consistent and it makes my injured elbow feel great anyway. The triceps pushdowns felt a little awkward on my elbow so I strapped it up nice and tight.

Fucked up doing the high pulls after the deads. Forgot that it’s not an exercise you want to do fatigued and it felt a little weird in my traps. Will drop those for next session.

DE Bench + Shoulders, Triceps, Upper Back / Lats

Took some time off as my elbow was aching a little.

Need to back off the weight on the FSR. I think 187 is about spot on. What I am finding is that as I go beyond this point, I’m trying to speed the rep up by rolling my shoulders a little and therefore loosening tightness. Which is why I experienced a little shoulder soreness after that. I was feeling real good with the elbow so I upped the dip poundages to a 20kg plate. 8 reps was very easy.

Smoked the chins this week. The seated rows I did on the new machine where the cables feel a little heavier than on the usual one I use.

88 x 3, 110 x 3, 132 x 3, 154 x 3, 165 x 3, 176 x 3, 187 x 3, 198 x 3, 209 x 3

Right now I’m more concerned with adding strength. The typical, getting those squat, deadlift and bench press numbers up. Particularly my squat.

I’m in the same boat
