Tris Posted January 5, 2014 Author Posted January 5, 2014 why you going back to middle earth? Student finances and support mate. I don't get that in Australia, have to pay full fees up front and have to stay with parents. Nz I can be living away from home and take a loan out etc.
Dog Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 its the place to be mate, we aint got none of that poisonous shit that they have over in aussie yeah but u get the risk of your village being raided by wildmen of dunland
Tris Posted January 16, 2014 Author Posted January 16, 2014 Back to NZ in 3 days. Gonna start a very clean slow bulk soon.
Tris Posted February 2, 2014 Author Posted February 2, 2014 Alright, on a small 250-300 surplus right now. 2800~ calories - 300g carbs, 100g fat, 175 protein. Started Push/Pull/Legs. Major compounds I'm doing 5x5 and then doing some hypertrophy work at 8-12 reps but I might change it up to PHAT or another strength based program.
Tris Posted February 4, 2014 Author Posted February 4, 2014 (edited) 4/02/2014 Push day - Weight is in kilograms. In order of appearance. Upper body mobility warm up. Flat Barbell Bench - 80x5x5 Incline Barbell Bench - 65x5x5 Military Press - 40x5x5 (Shoulders/scapula are still a bit off from neck all deal) DB Flyes - 12.5x10-12x3 Front DB raises super setted with side raises - 8x10-12x3 for both exercises. (6 sets total) Tricep Push downs - 45x10x3 Focusing more on strength firstly by doing 5x5 through compounds and then finishing with more controlled/hypertrophy type shit. I enjoy the variety but I may end up switching to Layne Norton's PHAT styled training method since it tailors days to strength or hypertrophy. http://www.simplyshredded.com/mega-feature-layne-norton-training-series-full-powerhypertrophy-routine-updated-2011.html Edited February 4, 2014 by Tris
Tris Posted February 5, 2014 Author Posted February 5, 2014 5/02/2014 - Leg Day Tried some high rep volume training, not the usual routine. Had a good pump going but going to stick to the usual heavy workout next week. Only have one squat rack at the gym so shit is usually hard to get a hold of, not to mention my neck shit cant deal with high bar squats right now. 200 Rep Leg Press Pyramid - No rest between climbing/dropping. 69x50 -> 107x25 -> 148x15 -> 178x10 (max on gay machine)-> 178x10 -> 148x15 -> 107x25 -> 69x50. Leg Press -> 178 x 68 (failure) Calves on Leg press -> 178 x 19->15->13->11->8 (5 sets to failure) Leg Curl -> 52 x 12->10>9 Leg Extension -> 59 x 12->10->8
No_Ctrl Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Tris, In your experience do you find flat bench / Incline bench better then DB Press, I prefer the latter. ~ Luke
Tris Posted February 5, 2014 Author Posted February 5, 2014 @Koray - was only a one time thing I was trying out with a mate, back to heavy sets next week bro. @Luke, - Dumbbells force you into using your stabilization muscles and structures throughout the exercise, at least more than barbell. Generally considered better for muscle imbalances too. Barbell in my opinion is generally better for strength style training but it shouldn't be over looked by 'bodybuilders'. I prefer variety, mixing it up, doing dumbbells one week then barbells the next.
Tris Posted February 7, 2014 Author Posted February 7, 2014 Forgot to log Pull day cause it was on my Birthday, went out right after. 7/02/2014 Push day - Weight is in kilograms. Upper body mobility warm up. Flat Barbell Bench - 82.5x5x5 (Hard to get spot on last few reps of last two sets) Incline Barbell Bench - 65x5x5 Military Press - 40x5x5 DB Flyes - 12.5x10-12x3 Front DB raises - 10x10-12x3 One arm tricep dumbbell extensions - 12.5x8-10x3 Tricep Push downs - 45x10x3
Low Bridd Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 Why only 12.5kg on dumbbell flyes surely you can do more?
k or as i Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 Why only 12.5kg on dumbbell flyes surely you can do more? with good form 12.5kg is a good lift
Tris Posted February 7, 2014 Author Posted February 7, 2014 I could do 20-22.5s Trevor but yeah what Koray mentioned. I focus on time under tension and rep quality in the later parts of my current routine. Still undecided if I'll switch to PHAT but I'm quite happy with my current mixed shit.
Tris Posted February 8, 2014 Author Posted February 8, 2014 (edited) Played 2 hours of 5v5 footy today, made up for the cardio by having a whole dominos pizza afterwards. Legs tomorrow. THE RIGHT GUN Edited February 8, 2014 by Tris
Tris Posted February 9, 2014 Author Posted February 9, 2014 (edited) 9/02/2014 - Leg Day Back to heavy lower reps. Until I sort my neck out I cant back squat properly cause the pressure is too much for my vertebrae/surrounding structures. Plate Leg Press -> Warm up = 78 x 20 -> 170 x 15 -> 270kg x 8-12x3 -> Failure Calves on Machine Leg press -> 178 x 25->23->20->Failure Dumbbell Lunges -> 3 Sets, lunge from one side of room to other and back = one set. 20kg dumbbells. Keeping upright and focusing heavily on form. Leg Curl -> 59 x 10->8->7 Leg Extension -> 59 x 12->10->8 Lower body mobility/stretching. Edited February 9, 2014 by Tris
Tris Posted February 12, 2014 Author Posted February 12, 2014 (edited) long time mate. looking good :) Hey brah! I'll have to jump on irc sometime to chat. Fell off the wheel a bit with my neck injury but I'm getting back into it. Keeping that surplus small now since I'm forever a natty cunt. Not gonna lie, was looking into clen next cut but my family's blood pressure and heart history is a tad shit so fuck that, natty it is. On this 'clean' bulk for at least 6 months imo.
