MN5's 2010 get ripped plan
-
Last nights squat session was seriously curtailed by a nasty case of "couldn't be fuckedness" plus the fact the bulb on the garage light had blown. Lucky I didn't curse it up otherwise I wouldn't have got to bed til about two or three. ( My mate often downs a few supplements before a hard night of womansing on the town, brilliant ! )

yeah the CBF syndrome raises its head from time to time. I tend to relate it to not having eaten enough or being really short on sleep. You never regret working out though!! that little gem has got me through numerous CBF's!!

[quote name='BartMan']that's where Gym's have it over home gym-ing. Get there with the case CBF, and the other trainers around you more often than not lift you up and you crack through the CBF wall.[/QUOTE]<br />

Yeah but my membership fees are competitive and I never have to wait to use equipment. -

Yep, that is for sure - you always feel a million bucks after the workout (if you can walk that is) and stoked you did it, just have to get through those first few sets to get the blood flowing! -

For sure, better to do it than not do it but somedays you're definitely not 100% and the last rep you got last week isn't always in the tank ( I blame two young sons keeping me awake all fucken night last week, broken sleep isn't good if you're trying to recover etc ) <br />

My supplement mate who previously worked at Les Mills ( and constantly tried to get me to sign up ) says that very few people have the discipline to do weights at home. Discipline is not a word most would associate with me especially when they see me at a bar with free piss but on the whole I've never had a problem getting motivated to smash a bit of tin. I love the convenience and the fact that if I arse out ( as I have done on numerous occasions ) there is no one there to laugh at me. -
So today was deadlift day, after a warm up I thought I'd go for a few reps of 160kg, third rep in I felt something twinge in the back ( kinda just below the shoulder, the reverse side of where there pecs are ) fuck it hurt so I stopped immediately. It's not like it's a weight I can't handle, well its heavy but still.....not sure what I've done and promise this isn't some weak excuse to get out of Barts squat routine !!!! hopefully its ok after a few days rest.....

Hows the back dude?? had it been a while since you hit the DL's? hopefully it's come right and you can get back into the swing of things.

Naaa just a week or so, farkin sore this morning and now I stink of deep heat which seems to be working. I'm sure a week off will aid the recovery. -
Stink bro, never nice when you have that realisation you've actually messed yourself up : (<br />
<br />
Hopefully it'll be something that'll come right with a bit of treatment. -
Getting sharp pain in the shoulder while moving a couple of boxes over the weekend that weren't particularly heavy convinced me that in terms of "pulling" exercises ( curls, chins, deads ) I need another week off at least. I still busted out some clap push ups in an ad break no probs though, weird how the body can cope with some things. Will do some benching later in the week. I also managed to skillfully land on my big toe whilst showing my sons how to ( not ) breakdance so that hurt like fucken anything, it's nice and swollen and purple ( don't think it is broken, I can still walk, sort of. What an idiot. Digby Ioane I am not. <br />

The wife is on a huge health kick at the moment, doing her Jordan workout DVD so I've done it a couple of times, surprisingly hard work actually. Both of us eating very well and feeling better in general which is cool. -
Especially when you transfer over to the Jordan workout... I don't know why I keep imaging Bill Cosby when typing that!!

Flu just about all gone and whilst the shoulder still won't allow for pulling exercises ( I really need to get off my assss and see someone ) theres no probs at all with "pushing". Thought I'd give a few sets of push presses a go, well one warm up and one to failure, I was in a hurry. Now I haven't done these in ages but I think the deads I've been doing and the plyometric push ups may have helped increase my explosiveness, I ripped out 12 x 70kg which I'm chuffed to bits about. One of these reps shook the garage as I hit the ceiling beam which fucked with my Chi a bit but I really focused on locking out at the end ( last couple of reps maybe not 100% perfect but still a nice burn in the upper body )<br />
<br />
Actually the whole body gets a fairly good working over on these, my invisible abs are feeling it today.
