Middle Class Caveman 980 Posted December 14, 2020 Author Share Posted December 14, 2020 Well annoyingly I woke up Tuesday with Covid like symptoms! nooooooooo Fortunately, I don't have it, apparently you can't just get a cold anymore - it's essentially a death sentence 😞 Took last week to rest as I don't want any germs in my gym as that's a real melting pot of people and bacteria. Back to the grind today, I have massage and then a session so will upload later.

Dan94 913 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Nice work mate, will have to give this a follow. 😎 Might actually start my own one when I start taking it more serious again in the New Year, getting myself a coach again who I know through Instagram. I know all about training, calories, macros etc just find that accountability maximises results for sure.

Having a coach is key, I'ma coach and have have been a client for many years so I would 100% agree to that buddy. Make sure you do start a fitness PPR as it is its own form of accountability!

Middle Class Caveman 980 Posted December 15, 2020 Author Share Posted December 15, 2020 I was going to train last night after my deep tissue therapy but as you can see from the picture - I took a beating! So I gave it a swerve and will hit up my session on Wednesday.

Covid. Work. Baby. Xmas. It gets in the way. But. We. Go. Again. Week 6 day 1 we are back in with some deadlifts and box squats. Feel good, strong and ready to let all of these extra calories do their job. I’m not going to track calories whilst I’m on Xmas break because I just don’t want to!

SESSION: Bench Press 2x7@95kg Overhead Press 3x4@65kg FEELINGS: A really solid session today, got a great pump too from the accessory work. Using some different pre-workout supplements this month and it’s nice to get something different in the veins to see how they impact the session. Bench moved well but had some slight pain/uncomfortable feeling in my shoulder socket. Hopefully just some fatigue build up. Overhead press flew up, glad to be moving some good weight again.

SESSION: Squat 1x1@160kg Squat 2x7@130kg FEELINGS: We multitasked like a champ today, hitting some singles on squats and smoking my Xmas gammon on the kamodo. Squats moved lovely today and hitting 160kg for a nice smooth single was a good bench mark. I don’t know if I will ever get back to the 200kg club but to be honest being pain free in my knee is the priority right now and today was exactly that. I normally like to train on Xmas day as a bit of a tradition but with Maddison it’s not going to happen so slipped my squats in today. Merry Xmas all!

This boy is getting strong! 4 more weeks on this cycle of training and then some testing.

SESSION: 3 Second Pause Deadlift 4x2@160kg Bench Press 1x3@115kg Bench Press 2x4@100kg FEELINGS: I fucking hate paused deadlifts. The amount of pressure that surges to the face is unreal in those 3 seconds. I’m surprised I’ve not burst any blood cells this training cycle. But we got them going. Bench feeling super good, I put my powerlifting singlet on today. In the words of Flanders - feels like I’m wearing nothing at all! Got some Sous Vide steak cooking whilst I train. Life is fucking good! Also, weighted pull ups with 12kg of chains is tough!

SESSION: Squats 4x6@140kg Spotto Press 3x8@60kg FEELINGS: On paper this workout looked simple enough but it completely kicked my arse! The squats were good but that’s a lot of squat volume in one week, lest we forget on Monday we did a top set of 160kgx3 and back off sets of 2x2@150kg. I have certainly worked my quads this week. Spotto press is a lovely variation of bench press and forces me to slow down and control my press. I’ve actually bought a new bench this week because my current one is so narrow I keep falling off! I forgot to video but I did get a cute picture of Maddison in the gym with me 👌 GazzaGarratt 1 Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/8323-elliott%E2%80%99s-fitness-ppr/page/2/#findComment-135148 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SESSION: Deadlift 1x3@190kg 3 Second Paused Bench Press 4x6@95kg FEELINGS: Today’s session took so long because I made the mistake of selling my dumbbells on Facebook....right before I started. Hundreds of messages....silly idea! I’ve done some upgrades and bought myself some new adjustable dumbbells from a friends company to save a lot of space and rust! And I bought a new competition bench to replace this adjustable one I have as I keep slipping off of it, being wide is dumb. Hopefully they arrive sooner rather than later. Bench went good, love a good pause!

Middle Class Caveman 980 Posted January 7, 2021 Author Share Posted January 7, 2021 DATE: 6th January 2021 SESSION: Week 8 Day 2 CALORIES: 2855kcals SESSION: Flat back bench press (no leg drive) 3x10@60kg Overhead Press/Push Press 3x3/3@65kg FEELINGS: I think pressing overhead is my favourite movement. Today I do some overload work by doing 3 strict press into 3 push press. This meant that my triceps got worked super hard as I’d likely struggle with 6 strict for 3 sets but instead I did a little leg drive to get all 18 reps in. Energy was low today after a blistering row with the wife about money (always). However, got my main movers in and got out.

RenFengge 1,039 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Overhead presses are your favorite, eh? You ever find that women enjoy squats and men enjoy overhead, generally? Anyway, well done! I think I am going to try that combo movement in my next lift session. 3 strict then 3 push press. Makes sense as after 3 reps at a certain weight, I need to dig a little deep to finish the next two as strict when I want to do it as a push press just to get it overhead!

That’s roughly true with my clients, although most of my lads prefer bench press. I like overhead because it brings out the best in me, explosive power through the legs and posterior chain, strong triceps to finish at the top. It’s a great little combo, pick 80-85% 1RM, so the three strict should be somewhat challenging then finish strong with the push press to overload the triceps at the lockout 💪 RenFengge 1 Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/8323-elliott%E2%80%99s-fitness-ppr/page/2/#findComment-135401 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over the course of last week I sold off all my old dumbbells and some old strongman equipment. I then purchased a brand new flat competition standard bench and new spin lock adjustable dumbbells. Taking the number of dumbbells I had from 9 pairs to 13 with more weight. They Botha remove today! Then I had to squat and stare at my fancy new bench that I don’t get to use until tomorrow 🤣 RenFengge 1 Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/8323-elliott%E2%80%99s-fitness-ppr/page/2/#findComment-135402 Share on other sites More sharing options...

COMPOUNDS: Incline DB press 3x8@25kg DB bent over row 3x12@30kg Flat DB Press 3x6@32.5kg FEELINGS: This program is very much a ‘power building’ program as there is a real mixture of powerlifting moves and body building. It’s been really successful as I’ve 100% added mass to my frame and am slowly getting back to my old strength numbers. Today’s session was 100% sets and reps, all bodybuilding. I also filmed a review of my new Muscle Squad adjustable dumbbells (as I’m somewhat affiliated with them) and got an amazing pump! Below I will post the link to the video so you can watch the review and a picture of my progress last year.

Raw. That’s a Personal best! Ever since I dodged my knee 2 years ago I’ve not been able to lift raw very much (just knee sleeves and belt) as the pain was too much. So I moved over to using knee wraps which essentially work like a whole new knee and add a lot of help to the squat. It’s not desirable as using wraps is very time consuming and painful (because of how tight you wrap them). I focused a lot of time last year on rehabbing my knee and changing my squat technique. It’s paid off. In two weeks time I test my max and I’m hoping for a new PB!
