Good morning everyone.
Cardio: None
Strength: Back
Deadlifts - 2 plates for 8, 3 plates for 6 and 2 sets of 180kg for 3 reps.
Wide Grip Pull-ups - 4 sets of 10, strict form, no swing. Coming to a complete stop at the bottom of the movement, chin over bar. May add weight next week and go for less reps.
Wide Grip Pulldowns - 4 sets of 6 @ 255'lb. Had a spot for last few reps. Will go heavier next week.
Bent Over Rows - 4 sets of 6 @ 100kg. Was manageable, could have gone heavier.
Neutral Grip Pulldowns - 4 sets of 10 @ 180'lb. Concentrating on the squeeze at the bottom of the movement and really stretching up. Had a spot for the last few reps.
Horizontal Row - Used the ropes for this, kept it light for 3 sets of 10-12 reps. Felt this at the very bottom of my lats, which is the part I feel I need to work on the most.
Assessment: Was a tough workout, perhaps because chest was so good the day before. Diet was on point, feeling good. Movie night tonight!0 -

Morning! Glad its Friday, busy week at work.
Cardio: None
Strength: Legs
Leg Press - 7 plates for 12, 9 plates for 10 and 2 sets of 10 plates for 8 reps. 400kg, the heaviest I've gone, mainly because I was scared. But, it felt good. Had a spot there just in case, but I managed.
Leg Curl - Heavy, 4 sets of 6. Coming to a full stop after every rep, and full contraction at the top. Spot for last few reps.
Leg Extension - Heavy, 4 sets of 6. Coming to a full stop after every rep, and full contraction/pause at the top. Spot for last few reps.
Sissy Squat on Hack Squat - Kept it light @ 40kg. 4 sets of 10. Really difficult exercise to execute. Stretching the quad out to the bottom of the plate, so knees are almost touching the bottom, and pressing up on your toes. Burns like hell.
Smith Squat - 100kg for 6-10 reps, 4 sets. Really concentrating on squeezing my quads at the top of the movement for that extra burn. Had a spot in case of failure.
Calf Raises - On the weighted machine. 10 heavy, 10 body weight, 10 half of your heavy weight - then hold for as long as possible on your toes - 30 secs to a minute for the burn. 3 sets of this - 90 reps in total.
Assessment: Not as good a leg session as Sunday. Gym was busy, so couldn't start with squats as usual, but pressed more on the leg press, plus didn't have time for lunges. Didn't get the usual 'pump' in my legs either. Felt fatigued, so had extra oats n' whey for supper. Feeling good today, shoulders tonight.0 -
I teach my clients how to do Sissy's on the Smith. I use a stepper, have them put their heels on it, toes on the floor, hold a plate and use the bar for balance. Try it!hassankarimi82 wrote: »Morning! Glad its Friday, busy week at work.

welcome @taadaalaa
physical activity is great! helps keep you fit and also helps with the mood, but to lose weight, you really need to work the nutrition. for me, IIFYM was the way to achieve my weight goal, I get to enjoy all the food I want, and still lose weight, downside for it, is the need to weigh the food you eat and log it in, but it is well worth it in the long run. my two cents.
Today is Sunday and I don't train on the weekends, so no cardio or strength workout for me,
Nutrition, has been good.1 -
