nightowl27 Posted October 27, 2008 Author Share Posted October 27, 2008 thanks man , i have one but i borrowed it to hugo. when he has closed it i will try it too. i will do it i think. three new videos on youtube by the way. a human turkish get up and the kettlebell beast clean and press, one time with right and one time with left side. i will write down my training after completing the russian squat assault. it will be a bit easier to read when i write it down in one piece. best luck to you all.

nightowl27 Posted November 11, 2008 Author Share Posted November 11, 2008 my training: 20.10.08:overhead press 65.5kg 4x9 rep squat 90.5kg 4x9rep 21.10.08:ring chin +10kg 4x9rep 22.10.08:press 70.5kg 5x7rep squat 98kg 5x7 23.10.08:ring chin +15kg 5x7rep 24.10.08: press 75.5kg 7x5rep squat 103kg 7x5rep 25.10.08:ring chin +22.5kg 7x5 rep 26.10.08:press 80.5kg 10x3rep squat 110.5 10x3 rep 27.10.08: / 28.10.08:ring chin + 28.75kg 10x3rep tried the second wave and wanted to take only 3 min rest between sets . i was able to press only 70.5 2x9rep and 1x7 reps instead of 4x9rep once again. i left the RSA to try something else. not only because i failed to do the forced number of reps but because i felt that especially the overhead press wasnt save anymore because of the high reps used in this programm-after the 6th or 7th rep my waist wasnt tight anymore. i trained some days without a well `planned programm but have now some kind of plan for my new workouts. i will train the lower body three times a week, one day with sandbag lifts, one day with squats and front squats as well as power cleans( on this day also ring chin ups) and one day with kettlebell swings and snatches. i had a routine nevertheless for my last workouts for the press.... 6.11:8x3reps 73kg always 3min rest in between sets 7.11:8x3 75.5kg 8.11:8x3 78kg 9.11:8x3 80.5kg 10.11: 8x2 83kg this time with warm up 5x58 and 2x78 before today also sandbag lifts to the chest 72kg 5x5reps with 3 rest 11.11:8x2 85.5kg warm up 5x58 and 2x78 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightowl27 Posted November 15, 2008 Author Share Posted November 15, 2008 wednesday12.11.08: two new personal records. overhead press 98kg @ 78kg bodyweight and a push press of 118kg on thursday i did a 53kg one arm press with my right hand...also pr friday14.11.08: time to do something else.... thickbar powerclean and press 52x5 62x5 and 72x5 x 3sets all with 1 minute rest in between sets, then 3 minutes later front squat 103 x5 reps x 3 sets, also 1 min rest then 3 min later ring chin with 32kg additional weight 7x3 reps with 1 min rest in between.... i will try to gain a bit more weight the next two-three weeks and use a variety of exercises like thickbar power clean and presses as well as sandbag clean and presses and kettlebells as well. my grip is the limiting factor with the thickbar so i have to work on it. i got in the last time stronger on grippers and bending but the performance on the thickbar didnt change at all....i already pressed 80kg overhead with my sandbag but now i dont use inner bags anymore and the sandbag is packed really loose so it is a totally different thing right now....

nightowl27 Posted November 28, 2008 Author Share Posted November 28, 2008 hI Hugo, you are absolutely right, i never use belts or stuff like this.... nevertheless i cant lift 210kg but next year for shure .... my last workouts: 24.11.08:bent press alternating hands after each rep: 13min continuesly with 38kg then overhead press:80.5kg 1,2,and then 3 reps with nearly no rest, then after a minute 1,2 reps then one hand swings with 40kg kbell: 3 times 20 reps ( 10 each hand,switching after 5 reps hands) 26.11.08: bent press 40.5kg 15 minutes then press 68x5 73x4 78x3 83x2 88x1 1min rest then swings one arm 40kg bell: 34 then 16 with 30sec rest 28.11.08: bent press singles alternating hands after each rep without rest: 30.5 35.5 40.5 45.5 50.5kg no problem at all then press 60.5x2 70.5x2 80.5x2 90.5x1 without rest, only time to add plates then thickbar sumo deadlifts overhand grip: 72/84.5/97/112/117 kg every time a single rep, no rest in between then sandbag lifting combo: sandbag clean and press,then zercher squat then headlock left to shoulder right , then headlock right to shoulder left ,then bearhug set down. all without letting the bag down in one movement! 4 times with 30rest with 65kg loosely packed. that was all.... i dont know for shure what is wrong with my back but i never have pain when working out, it s only the day after training.... not really strong pain and not continuesly, it appears only sometimes but perhaps my body is just adapting....

nightowl27 Posted December 2, 2008 Author Share Posted December 2, 2008 i will upload the video of my sandbag work the next days, here in paraguay it didnt work and i will fly in some hours to germany. best wishes, pierre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightowl27 Posted December 13, 2008 Author Share Posted December 13, 2008 the videos are working at youtube and i am still training with my sandbag. will post my recent sessions in some days here. i am also about to construct some dumbbells with a thick bar and i also bought a beer keg of 50litres which i will fill up with sand when i am back in paraguay! i am looking forward for a bit more variety training in the new year: barbell clean and press/ thckbar dumbell clean and press/sandbag clean and press/keg clean and press/ thickbar clean and press and so on... just like to clean and press everything. but i am also looking forward to train a bit more of my grip and my wrist strength as well as my legs now.... i feel that its just more fun to train the same exercise with different tools.

nightowl27 Posted December 23, 2008 Author Share Posted December 23, 2008 training yesterday,22.12.08: sandbag clean & multiple press: 55x5 65x5 70x4 75x3 80x2 85x1 75x3 80x2 85x1 75x3 80x2 85x1 easy! in the evening i got my new sandbag( a big duffel toploader bag, 237 liters of volume!) did a 85kg clean and press and after this a 110kg sandbag lift above waist height. this bag gets really huge and is much harder to lift than the ironmind bag which is a bit slimmer and easier to grab. getting those 110kg with the big duffel bag over head is a real challenge. but my first goal is to get 100kg overhead with the ironmind bag. nevertheless i will train from now on always with the harder to handle duffel toploader bag.
