If your gym has a lat pulldown machine (or similar) with a sitting pad and pad to put your knees under, if you approach it backwards and put the backs of your ankles against where you would normally put your knees, and your knees where you would sit, and a bench or something in front of you so you don't snap said knees in half, you can do GHRs. Someone draw a picture

A good alternative I've used before is using a bosu ball as shown in this video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rg_hxBHPX_k

I have a terrible fear of bursting bosu balls.

Wednesday I did a standard chest/shoulders/triceps workout, today I did a back/biceps workout. Neither workout was remarkable; just kind of spinning my wheels right now until exams are over. Not even writing things down in my notebook as I go through my workouts, just attempting incredible volume via supersets to get a solid pump... Nice way to spend a morning.

Bosu ball bursting sounds hot.

Well today I finally squatted three plates.

140kg x 1 @ 79kg bw

Feels like I've broken through a ceiling, same as after benching 100kg for the first time. Kinda like I've levelled up...

After that I did some back off triples and then a lot of other pushing movements.

That is awesome. I am around 76kg also and the thought of putting 140kg on my back boggles my mind.

Thanks guys! I've been working out this week but I'm still not logging anything, just keeping things ticking over. My final two exams are tomorrow, I'm working this weekend and then I'm going down to London for a few days next week. Any goons in London want to hang out I may be free -- just lemme know.

After next week it's my final term as a student and I'll be using that time to try to lean out. Not really got a target weight in mind, just want to have visible abs and all of the leanness that comes with them.

Methought I heard a voice cry "Log no more! Umbriago does murder logging."

Things move apace in this young man's life and I feel this log no longer serves a meaningful purpose for me. I continue to work out and may one day log again. In the meantime, infinite thanks for all of your love and support. Of course I'll continue to post and cause a nuisance elsewhere.

Hi.

I spent the last four weeks doing Sheiko. It put some weight on all of my lifts but I felt like hell by the end of it, and I missed bodybuilding-style workouts. Now, for the first time in at least four months, I've unified the holy trinity of (i) Superpump, (ii) ON Whey and (iii) enough motivation to train hard four times a week -- so let's fire this log back up and see what I can do before summer.

I'd like to be a bit more muscular and a bit leaner. To achieve this I will eat fewer sugary carbs and try to get stronger whilst training with ridiculous volume. My schedule is odd, my split will look like this:

Sun: Legs
Mon: Chest, shoulders, tris
Tues: Back, bis
Weds: Off
Thurs: Off
Fri: Shoulders, arms
Sat: Off

Here's what I currently look like unflexed in flattering lighting (the best kind of lighting).
