    You wanna be a Viking!? Then learn how to row! A combo of ASMR and a Pacemaker for rowing. I created this piece to help keep a steady "battle pace" whilst rowing, however its also very relaxing and so can be used as an ASMR piece also, for meditation or sleeping. My intentions are to do longer...

    Shoulders and Triceps today, with an opening movement of seated press with bands. Sets of 10 on an ascending bar, until failure, ending up with 70kg with 60lb band resistance. This was not only to get a good bite in the front delts but to pre exhaust the triceps for later. Still really keen to...

    A day of impro, trying out different ways of doing movements using my bands. I love able based exercises, but no room or money to get kne in my garage, so I use bands where needed. I changed the way I do lat pull downs. Not much different to before, but just a lot easier to set up, sometimes...

    So my leg was hurting a bit on 140kg and 160kg (without knee wraps) so I didn't go to 180kg like I was tempted, but what a set! So i strapped up me poorly knee. And 20reps on 160kg, I'll take that. Lungs started to burn at 12reps. Brain was burning at 15reps. Wanted to quit so bad at 18 reps...

    First day back on squat, since my quad tear mid December. Feeling confident with how things felt on deadlift the other day. And as a huge Tom Platz fan I thought id do what he always preaches - "15-20 reps on 3 plates a side" I was a wee bit worried how my lungs would handle it, I'm still...

    Back and biceps workout. Back was simple focusing on lat pull downs. Working up to 125lb, before then doing a heavy duty set mixing negatives and eccentric pauses into the reps. The lat pull downs were done not only to work the back, but to pre-exhaust the arms. With that in mind I moved onto...

    Today's bench press, I have decided to always try to do at leastsome incline everytime I bench now. Ideally making it the focus at the beginning. It's always been the weakest aspect of my bench, and for development its also key. So I opened up with incline press on my cambered swiss bar. I...

    Aww cheers my man, with any luck I will :) I think part of the barrier has always been a mental one, as it was on 180kg when I tore my pec. So once I break through that, I think I should make some extra gains on top. I remember when I was trying to break the 225lb bench, I was stuck on 90kg...

    Chest workout from 20/12/23 I went in focused to do 2 reps on 150kg 330lb bench press. This was the sole aim of the workout, and I was planning to go on the fly afterwards, doing whatever felt right according to how easy the 150kg felt (and whether I got it or not) Warmups were simple and...

    Tested my current strength levels, on seated rear press today. Started on 100kg (2 sets of singles to warm up) before then going up 120kg. I didn't feel 120kg at all, making it much easier than last weeks effort. As such I jumped up to 130kg. I felt very confident and approached the bar with a...
