Groin/hip flexor hurt doing my warm-up jog so I thought i’d get my accelerations done then do a single fast run but over a long enough distance to not be going 100% at any time.

1 x full pitch kick retrieve – was timed from picking ball up in dead ball area to scoring a try in 12.60 secsBit more ball work today, and no lunges! May as well get used to running fast with a ball under my arm. Good session, 32 degrees I was sweating before we even started.
PM Session:
Power Clean 4 x 4 x 70kg – narrower arms made all the difference and these absolutely flew up, so easy
A1 Back Squat 4 x 4 x 110kg – bit shaky at first but once I cued to push the knees apart and drive through heels it was ok
A2 Borzov Jumps 4 x 4 – fuck whoever came up with these
Swiss Ball Hamstring Curls 3 x 6 – bit easy but I don’t want achey hammies for training tomorrow
SL Hip Thrust 2 x 5 x 5kg, 1 x 5 x 7.5kg – I like these, weight was easy to hold over hips

A2 DB Rows – 4 x 6 x 27.5kgShoulder didn’t hurt much this time, seemed to get in a much stronger position under the bar for push press and OHP. Bench was easy, happy to make the move to 85kg next week.
PM Session:
B1 Bench Press 82.5kg x 9, 6, 5, 4, 4, 2 increased from 80kg, hands seem to hurt when it’s short recovery benching
B2 Incline Hammer Row 2 x (10, 8, 6) x 17.5kg feel strong in these, could see what 20kg is like next week
C1 DB Press 22.5kg x 9, 7, 5, 4, 5, up from 20kg, hard to get up onto shoulders when tired

1 suicide (22, half, opp 22, full) – 1 min 39 secs
Slow suicide, but I was knackered. I preferred the agility drills, very short rest and really working hard every step. Felt quick running the full pitch with the ball. Couldn’t get out my car once i’d driven home from the track, legs were gone.
PM Session:
Power Clean 4 x 4 x 75kg light weight, feel like i’m in such a mechanically strong position now

Split Stance OHP
4 x 50kg, 3 x 52.5kg, 2 x 55kg
4 x 52.5kg, 3 x 55kg, 2 x 57.5kg – felt too easy to not increase the weight when the prescribed reps drop so I put on 2.5kg for 2nd set
A1 Bench Press 4 x 6 x 85kg – up from 82.5kg and very very easy. I did wonder why I found these weights hard, should be on 90kg+
A2 DB Rows 4 x 6 x 27.5kg – shoulder still twinges when I get to rows but much less than previouslyPM Session:
B1 Bench Press 82.5kg x 10, 7, 6, 4, 3 – hand still hurt but not as much
B2 Incline DB Hammer Rows 2 x 8,6,4 x 20kg – up from 17.5kg
DB Press 22.5kg x 9, 6, 6, 6, 3 – pleased to match my reps and not let fatigue take over
Strict Pullups 11, 7, 7, 5 – Only way I could make these harder was to make sure it was near enough from a dead hang each rep

A2 DB Rows 4 x 6 x 27.5kgGood to move my bench up again, I don’t feel any stronger because i’m knackered most of the time but the numbers are moving in the right direction.

B1 Bench Press 85kg x 8, 6, 5, 5, 4, 2 – upped from 82.5kg
B2 Incline DB Hammer Rows 2 x 8,6,4 x 20kg
DB Press 22.5kg x 11, 6, 6, 4, 3 – first set of pullups was tough and sapped my strength for the second set of this. Time to move up a weight.

A2 Borzov Jumps 5 x 3
Swiss Ball HS Curl 3 x 11
SL Hip Thrust 1 x 5 x 10kg
Hip Thrust 15 x 10kg, 15 no weight – didn’t like the short SL reps, my friend used to do 3 x 30 unweighted to supplement sprinting, I dropped to two leg to get a decent number of reps out.

B2 Incline DB Hammer Rows 2 x 12, 10, 8 x 20kg
DB Press 25kg x 8, 5, 5, 4, 4, 4 – Really tough to get any reps out, thought I would end up doing 2’s and 1’s to finish
Strict Pullups 12, 7, 7, 4
3 way Shoulder Raise – 2 x 12, 10, 8, x 5kg – these are fine at this weight, can’t do the full set without stopping anywayJuly 30
Had a 12 hour interview with a gym, got a chance to train with one of the other applicants and he showed me some really cool agility drills that i’ll be implementing into my current sessions.
Missed rugby training so I popped to a nearby pitch and did:
5 minute run (~1120m)
5 x 40 secs on 20 off (~200m), 5 x 30 secs on 30 off (~160m), 5 x 20 secs on 40 off (~120m)
5 minute run (~1170m)July 31
Power Cleans 3 x 5 x 80kg – kept the same weight as the reps are up from 3 to 5
A1 Back Squat 2 x 5 x 115kg, 1 x 5 x 120kg – did these at the gym so had a safety bar which gave me the confidence to lift more
A2 Borzov Jumps 3 x 5
RDL 3 x 5 x 80kg – changed exercise again, probably going to do hip raise Sunday and RDL today.
Ab Machine 15 x 32kg, 15 x 39kg, 15 x 46kg – didn’t write ab work so forgot what I had to do, did this insteadFebruary 12, 2019 at 11:23 pm #9328Aug 1

Food is pretty much what was in the article, had turkey breast instead of chicken and steak, missed out Power Drive and had a few BCAA’s and creatine dotted around rather than a mass amount at the end.
8am-11am Totals (501 tempo)
Zottman curls – 6 x 7 x 7.5kg
Pronated DB Extensions – 6 x 8 x 10kg
Incline Curls – 6 x 7 x 12.5kg
California Press – 7 x 40kg, 5 x 8 x 37.5kgHad no appetite for lunch but forced it down. I found zottman curls the easiest but I wasn’t very ambitious on the weight. Incline curls and california press was the harder superset but compared to the rest of the session this was pretty good, maybe struggling on the last 3-4 reps of the final sets.
12.30pm-2pm Totals (302 tempo)
Zottman curls – 4 x 10 x 7.5kg
Pronated DB Extensions – 4 x 12 x 10kg
Incline Curls – 3 x 10 x 12.5kg, 9 x 12.5kg
California Press – 4 x 12 x 35kgMissed a rep on curls but these were a lot harder and I think every set was a struggle.
2.30pm-4pm Totals (201 tempo)
Zottman curls – 4 x 15 x 7.5kg
Pronated DB Extensions – 2 x 20 x 10kg*, 2 x 20 x 7.5kg*
Incline Curls – 12 x 12.5kg*, 12 x 10kg*, 2 x 15 x 7.5kg
California Press – 14 x 35kg & 6 x 30kg*, 15 x 30kg*, 2 x 20 x 25kg*sets I had at least one rest (3-5 secs) midway through
These were brutal. The 20 rep was too hard with the same weight and I went to failure on most exercises first time round, then dropped the weight down for the second round. Triceps were hit the hardest as I could push it further whereas the concentric phase of curls was harder to do.
