Old-School Iron

The last week of April was in theory the last week of heavy 8-10 reps training before setting off to do some nasty 60 sec sets of superslows…
In theory. In the real world, I opted for another four weeks on the heavy 8-10 reps before going for four weeks each of 60 sec sets and […]

April saw the new coming of the Metal Gym card.
Since this was the start of the next round on the training cycle, I was in for heavy weights again. Heavy enough that the exercises would be difficult if not impossible to perform at the basement. Heavy squats, for instance, are a tad more challenging without […]

Finally at it again…
It thought I’d try to bring this up to speed by narrative instead of clips and the whole shabang. Actually, the taking of clips at the basement is going to have to wait anyway until the light is replaced. Nice mood lighting though, fitting for a dungeon but hardly enough light […]

Alrighty!!
A new week, and the beginning of the next four weeks: the 20-30 repetition speedy system.
To quickly recap what this constant change thing is all about: I’m currently training on a cyclical training system developed by yours truly. It is basically very simple, yet very effective.
The first four weeks is “normal” training, i.e. […]

Once again, week 8 in one go.
It seems there’s something wrong with my weeks. They seem short, and I can’t seem to get everything done the way I would like. Take this week for example, I was planning on blogging after each and every workout, but look what happened. I’m a week behind…
Oh, […]

Once again, the whole week updated in one go.
This was a nice week, except for the fact that I had to compress legs and back into a single workout at the end in order to get both done… I hate it when that happens.
Anyway, the first workout of the week took place on […]

Here’s the other clip I promised (3rd workout of last week). Finally got it edited…
It features my brother-in-law, Kim and my nephew Rainer, who is six years old. He desperately wanted to come along to see how strong his daddy and uncle are…
All wonderfulness of the 60sec system aside, it really […]

Here goes! Been a bit busy, haven’t had time to update… Sorry about that.
However, for everyone’s immense viewing pleasure, I have yet another wonderful clip (2nd workout) to show you! And another (3rd workout) is under editing as we write.
I did, however, notice that the adjustable dumbells I have are NOT standard […]

YAY!
The first ever workout in our “basement gym”… And the first 60 sec set thing with a bar in a few years. I had blissfully forgot how much it hurts to train like this. It’s agony, plain and simple. Much worse than the rubber bands.
Oh, not to mention the humbling aspect of being able to […]

I’ll update on the entire week in one go this time.
Found some intresting stuff at our friendly neighborhood health store; whey powder with salmiak taste! Yummmmmmmy! Oh yes, and also blueberry. Got both as well as a jar of glutamine. Therefore, I also started with postworkout creatine and glutamine added to the shake. Used […]
