Back for a bit part 1
Hectic but fun weekend at Bodypower. My mind, if not my body, still feels frazzled but I'll try and get something down, if in instalments, over the next few days before I nip off to Essex and the Hercules Olympia. I'll add more soon!

Tuesday 1st May 2012 workout
Tuesday
Bodypower etc soon so will be looking at train tickets etc. Gonna be a busy month after this and next week. The end may well be in sight on the protein under-dosing scandal article. Spencer Clark, he of STC, has found himself going through many hundreds of emails and in doing so you find yourself reminded of just how much went on and who was involved. Even from the underweight tubs not quite as full as they should be of already not up to scratch protein.
V/Gripper
Was a tad off but I usually do this more often and in the morning
B/H: 1/1 x 8 reps @ , 3/3 x 3 reps @, 5/5 x 1 rep @
L/H: 6/5 x F, VVN, VVN, VVN, VVN reps
R/H: 6/6 x 1 rep, 7/6 x 1 (hard), 1, 1, TnG reps
I was probably off due to the workout schedule being slightly out of kilter after last weeks visit to Hercules. Great fun though.

Friday
I went to Scott Horton's Hercules Gym today (here's a pic of me and Scott goofing on Facebook.... I'm on the left ha ha). Man I am a knob - I need to stop reading a paper and stepping, as I did, trains without looking. Then making a meal of back peddling and finally taking the correct turn in Colchester... I was close to an hour later than the time I could have been there by - d'uh!! All my own fault.
Oh and Scott and I can TALK!!!! He started in the game about 2 years before me so we know loads of the same people and spent a good hour before I did any lifting putting the world to rights over a couple of coffees. I was made VERY welcome. So baring in mind I was an hour late and we talked for an hour...
NB: I could use chalk!! Come to papa - I've been getting withdrawal symptoms at Beefs.
CG Bench Press
bar x 8 reps, 60-kilos x 8 reps, 80-kilos x 8 reps, 107.5-kilos x 4 rep d/s 60-kilos x 12 reps
Low Row
worked in with a gym member. 1/2 stack x 8 reps, 3/4 stack x 8 reps, stack x 8 reps.
DO TB (Axle) DL
Joy!! An actual hollow thick bar + chalk = me happy. I'm assuming bar is 15kg as it was hollow but full length.
bar x 8 reps, +40-kilos (55) x 8 reps, +80-kilos (95) x 1 rep, +120-kilos (135) x 1 rep, +150-kilos (165-kilos) x 1 rep, +170-kilos (185) x 3 R/P reps (about 20 seconds between each one). Each rep made me a tad dizzy but happy. Not been this heavy for a while and using an actual bar and chalk.
RT
Even though I'd done a session earlier this week (Mon) chalk use being allowed I wanted to see what I could do so... air under 130-kilo loaded r/h 2x
VG
Now completely showing off and in spite of the thick bar and RT worked to 6/7 a side r/h
Talked more after and left with a 'Gunslinga' Vest that you'll see me in very soon. Great time
