Well... here's how I ended the week, with a new PR on deadlifts.
This one has been a long time coming, so I'm quite pleased. Looking back that video, my form is perhaps not as tight as usual, but still effective. If I can tighten it up a little more again, 185kg should not be too far away.
This is also a good example of how we use Pyramid Sets...

Calories In, Calories Out: Maintenance Or Plateau?
Contrary to popular belief, not seeing progress in your condition goals does not automically infer that you are "at maintenance" and need to cut calories further.

If you don't want to cut, you have to bulk. Right?
Garbage. There are much more intelligent options availabe to you.

You Can't Out Train A Bad Diet, Right?
Nope, that's garbage! We really need to end the notion that athletic condition is associated with food avoidance. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Training Video: Full Body Push Day
Today's routine was my full body push day, which usually means some chest, some quads, and some shoulders.
Not shown in the video is some machine lateral raises, and triceps push down.
I dunno why my calves look SO skinny. I need to address this situati...
Back and Biceps Training Video
More correctly in the context of my program, this is Upper Body, Pulling Routine. Which is mostly back, rear delts and some broceps to finish off. I'm really trying to bring my traps and biceps up this season so... on the other pull day there'll be some shrugs and maybe upright rows as well.
This was a pretty fun session today at Doherty's...
Legs Day Training Video
I decided to make some new training videos again, just some selected highlights of the day. So today, here's my legs routine.
Highlights include 100kg squat and 300kg leg press. I didn't bother filming my standing calf raises but you can see a little of everything else I got up to today. You'll notice there's no weight on the sled I'm pushing...
Business and personal plans for the next few months.
Just typing this one up to get my ideas and plans straight in my own head really, as well as perhaps a little leverage to make sure everything happens in due course.
Business stuff, mostly. I'm at a stage now where the online coaching business is taking off to a point where I want to make it about 50% of my business, which will allow me to work more...
My Lose 5kg In Time For Summer Plan
I'm not really a "real" body builder like some of the boys & girls I know who take it very seriously and do whatever it takes to get into elite level shape, ready to take the stage and hopefully come home with a trophy. That sort of thing... well I've never done it and it's not what I coach people to do, but I can only imagine it takes some quite...
