BennyMagoo's Training Log

Prime time to work the presses

Yup. First time I benched 315 off cycle I couldn’t deadlift or squat while my back healed. Prime time to use the recovery on your upper body.

Wow, haven't updated my log for a while!

I've been having heaps of fun at the gym while on holidays and still unable to squat heavy - last week I worked up to 140kgx8 but felt immediately ****ed afterward and really struggled for a couple days - and have found myself training competitively with a few of my gym bros just for ****s and giggles. This has resulted in a few PRs:
Bench 125kgx8 (nearly got 9)
Pullups with 10kg for 12reps
DB OHP 35kgx6
BB OHP 70kgx6
In addition to massive reduction to deadlift and squat volume I have a couple of changes:
1.) Zero PWO (this still kind of sucks, even after 3 weeks)
2.) Been walking & jogging around a reservoir near my house, about 5-6km, after weights
3.) Fasting between 6pm and 10am most days.

Starting to feel pretty good as my body adapts to the cardio. Actually have more energy and patience in the afternoons.

Getting this "vaginal feeling".... Brothers on AM are manhandling me...

Good on you for pushing what you can, and getting into better shape! Your body & heart will thank you.

You still got me on bench and pull-ups, but at least I got you on overhead. I actually benched 275x6 Friday - if I had known you were gonna do 8 maybe I would have tried harder

Do it!
I bet you can really bench more than me, it's just that I'm fresh every week from reduced squats and deads.

Here is 127.5kg tng:

Yes!
Finally stopped eating everything yesterday, after staying with Mum and Dad up the coast for 2 nights to celebrate some family birthdays.

Did 3 exercises this morning in the gym:
Bench 125kg 3x5
Seated cable row dropsets x3
Strict OHP 60kg 3x6

Will head out bush this afternoon.

Also, on another note, over my holidays my employment contract for 2019 was cancelled, so today marks the first day of work for my new business, domestic plumbing & drainage. Wish me luck!

Domestic plumbing:
A huge BennyMagoo79 -monster appears, grabs your toilet with one hand and uproots it off the ground (with you on it).

Sorry dude, didn't see this!
It's going ok. Things have slowed down over here so not the most fertile environment for a new business, but I am making enough to feed my family and pay the bills so can't complain!
