<br />

well done RB, was watchting that programme on 20/20 Thursday night and thought, "there's Red Beard"Â <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' />(OK, that's plain nasty - apologies in advance).<br />
<br />
Should be a good contest between you and Cyril on the bench press front - although pound for pound at the moment you would have it over the 139kg behometh!! -

I may have it on power to weight but Im interested to see how much will Cyrill bench when he really cranks it up after a few more weeks? -

Thats some big lifting there RB well done. Did deadlifts the other night for the first time in ages, partially thanks to the grippers alluded to in the grip strength thread I was able to do a lot better than I have done previously but deadlifts are farkin brutal, whole body was trembling and I was seeing stars by the end of it !! -

[quote]Am getting reasonably serious about doing some cardio tomorrow.[/quote]Â Gotta love frontrowers :happy:<br />
<br />
Throw in the abs at the end of your cardio session - I'll crack out 50 sit ups at the end of each rowing session - just roll onto the floor and start sitting - a habit now, otherwise would never do them either! -

Ha, yeah it is funny when you get nutrition or exercise advice from someone who clearly doesn't use it. However, I'm sure you look like you know what you're doing.<br />
<br />
Another possible career change on the cards?<br />

I need the extra hours because Ive just bought a house. -
Wednesday.<br />
<br />
Warm Up: Row.<br />
<br />
Stand BB Press 60/5 70/5 80/5 80/5 85/5<br />
Seated Calf Raises and Stand BB Curls.<br />
<br />
No Abs.<br />
<br />
Managed to pinch a nerve in my neck/trap. Old scrummaging wear and tear (from having to play loosehead) rearing its ugly head again. -
Friday<br />
<br />
[b]Weights[/b]<br />
<br />
Squats (80% of Mondays top weight) 5X5<br />
<br />
Bench Press 100(5) 120(5) 130(2)<br />
<br />
Deadlifts 100(5) 140(5) 160(5) 180(3)<br />
<br />
Followed by half an hour of one one one scrum practice with a wily old Swamp Fox prop in the fitness class room.<br />
<br />
Awesome session! -
Good lifting there Red.<br />
<br />
Thinking of incorporating dead lifts into my routine now, but never had any instruction in how to do them so a bit nervous of fucking my back up. -
Go to [url="http://www.rugbysmart.co.nz"]www.rugbysmart.co.nz[/url] and log onto the inseason training programme. Click on the video clip for BB Squat/Deadlifts on one of the weights days and you will get a vid of squat and then deadlift technique
-
Like RB says - that is a good site. <br />
<br />
Also, start out with really light weights to make sure your technique is good. Get side-on to the mirror and make sure it looks like the video from 1st rep to last, because when you're farking tired you'll bend your back and then you WILL fuck it up! <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' /> -
Cheers Gents!
