Dissection Of The Funt

I'm stressed out because firstly, the club could get the boot for the year (or forever), and I was coaching Second Grade to a title :(<br></p></blockquote>
<br>
Yep. Gone for the year. The fluffybunnies who were cited didn't show up.<br><br>
Gutted. -
Gym tonight:<br><br>
Squats: 5 x 5 x 105kg - time to move up to 110kg<br>
Bench: 5 x 5 x 72kg - added the 2kg and got there<br>
Bent row: 5 x 5 x 75kg - this is still a bit tough to get through but will add 2kg next time<br>
Chins: 4, 4, 2<br><br>
Home. Shake. Pizza. Half a glass of red. Weekend!<br><br>
Gonna be on TV again tomorrow. Radio again Sunday. Starting to get to that point where it's a shit fest -

That farking sucks. Isn't it a bit harsh that the whole club gets punished? Or was is just your team? -

Whole club booted for actions of a few players, mostly First Grade newbies brought by Coach Fuckwit. Who is now ex-coach fuckwit<br><br>
Yet, another club in our Division has five red cards across the season and got docked a few points. That's two more than the "tolerable offence level" BUT because their players fronted the judiciary, they get to continue their 2s and 3s into finals. -

<p>This one is "Lean Recovery". Have to check there isn't too much sugar in it</p>

<p>With a name like that I would doubt it. The one I take has one gram of sugar per 25 grams of protein</p> -

That is shit. I absolutely hate clubs with fuckwit leaders that piss on the true club guys by getting ringins who never go to training, often don't pay subs and who aren't even guaranteed of showing up. -

<p>Yep.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So all we can do is learn from it, make our systems better, call out the fuckwit factor and do our best to prevent it ever happening again.</p>

<p>Had a good night down the pub with some club stalwarts. Planning underway. Season 2017 is going to kick arse.</p> -
<p>Gym this very morning, trying to blow a few red wine cobwebs out of the system ;)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Squats: 5 x 5 x 110kg - real effort required to finish these. First set is always tough, but middle sets were OK. Will stick on this for next session and concentrate on form</p>
<p>Military: 5 x 5 x 48kg - again, last set was real effort. Had to bend the back for that</p>
<p>Deadlifts: 1 x 5 x 145kg - grunt!</p>
<p>Chins: 1 set of 5 followed by a few variations</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So, added weight to all lifts. Need to work on a little bit of form with each one so those numbers will probably stay where they are this week.</p> -
<p>Get a kettlebell or a heavy dumbbell - hold that up in front rack position (goblet squat) and sit into a squat. Use a heavy enough weight so it lets you sit into as deep a squat as possible. First set just hold it for 20-30sec then start moving about a bit in the second/third sets. It works a treat imo. The weight forces you to straighten your torso and get into a good position ahead of full blown squats.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Note - I'd suggest that after a minimum of 10min stretching and rolling out legs - gotta get things firing before you start putting the weight on bro!</p> -

<p>what type of warmup are you doing for the squats nick? could have something to do with the first set being tougher?</p>

<p>Zero. I stretch out the back in a deep squat, while holding the bar in my fingertips, and that stretches the calves as well. Might do that for a minute.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Most of my sessions are first thing in the morning and are a 15 minute drive away. I get about 45 minutes to do weights before I have to drive home and get ready for work. As a result I've been doing fuck all in the way of stretching and mobility before workouts.</p> -

<p>It's me saying it so I know the temptation will be to say fuck off but don't you reckon you should make time for the stretching ?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We're all in our late 30s or in some cases even longer in the tooth so this stuff is more important cos it's easier to get away with not doing it as a youngster.</p> -
<p>That sounds like my mate who trains during lunchtime - literally works out for about 25-35min as he needs to get to the gym and then get cleaned up.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'd strongly suggest adding in even 5min for some sort of warm up. Taking your body from bed to under a bar within 20min with no real warm up sounds like an injury waiting to happen. Don't want to see you break yourself dude - plus if you want to get those numbers up then mobility etc are going to be a barrier sooner rather than later.</p> -
<p>ps you can tell me to fuck off too...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I love durty talk, esp online </p>
<p> </p>
<p> :whistle:</p> -
<p>Doing crunches or skipping or both for 5 minutes is a decent way of warming up and doing something constructive at the same time.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Failing that why don't you find a gym that's closer to you or your work?</p> -
