speaking of crazy expressions... I'll never forget when i was over in a pub in England once, this guy sidled up to me at the bar sat down next to me and asked me,

"Bite ya for a fag, mate?" :wtf:
to which i replied, "Uh... NO...."
Later a friend translated for me what the guy asked me:
"Can a bum a cigarette from you?"

Still though. AWKWARD.
Yes, they do have some weird expressions in the UK.

hey sammie, nice looking workout. it sure is a challenge trying to find the proper weight to start a new program.

maybe when katt and i get back from negril, we will be fluent enought in jamacian that we can throw a few new words into the mix.

The more words we can get for laid-back, happy days the better :thumb::thumb:

I love Scottish/British/Australian (I know it's all different but it's all sweet) vocabulary! would you say you have a strong Scottish accent...because that would be hot! ;) lol

great workout above though, that was some serious supersetting/volume in that workout! excellent job:thumb:

Thanks Scar! I love Aussie accents too :daydream:

I have a very strong Scottish accent, but it comes and goes depending who im talking to. I try to pronounce words properly, speak more slowly and not use Scottish words in front of my English (or foreign) friends, but if one of them overhears me on the phone to my Mum, brother or one of my mates from home, they often tell me it's like im speaking another language.

One with lots of rrrrrr's :D:D:D
 
Okay, i took 3 days off to recover before attempting 'Wala Challenge Week', and im glad i did, because i think today is the closest i've ever come to puking in the squat rack. Here's how it went down:

Monday 10th March

Wala Challenge Week - 40 reps : 120s RI

30 WG Pullups - BW-75lb: 4 sets to finish

Front Squats - 45lb: 1x40

RDL's - 45lb: 1x40

Split Squats - 45lb: 2x20 (20 each side)

Deadlifts - 45lb: 1x40

Leg Extension - 45lb: 1x25, 1x15

Standing Calf Raises - 90lb: 1x22, 1x10, 1x8

This session took all my focus and determination to finish each set. Rest assured by the end of each set i couldn't have done another rep. I got to about number 30 on the Front Squats and i could feel the darkness coming in on the edge of my vision - a feeling im quite familiar with from rowing distance tests for time, so i knew i had to finish my set fast, otherwise i would pass out.

The 120s RI was a bare minimum, sometimes my heart rate wasn't even dropping below 135bpm before it was time to start the next exercise.

Didn't do any cardio today. I was staggering out the gym like a drunk person, im lucky i didn't fall over! I am going to a circuit training class tonight though, which i havent done for ages, so that should be fun :thumb:
 
WoW! That's some workout! :eek: I don't think I would have made it out of the gym... I would be lying on the ground, staring at the ceiling and thinking... oh my god...!

So.... is this whole week going to be 40's?? You may need more than a few days to recover if it is.. :D
 
Easton, that's awesome! I gotta give that a try one of these days just to see what it's like!

You are definitely a glutton for punishment, you wild thing, you. :whip:

Thanks Katt - it was unbelievably tough. In fact im gutted that i've signed up for a whole week of this!

Im basically doing every exercise i would normally do, but reducing the weight to half and doing 40 reps in one set (if possible). So Chest tomorrow, Back Weds (which should be fun!) and Shoulders Thurs or Fri.

Gotta crank it up a bit sometimes! I've got a rest week coming up so i want to make sure i really deserve it ;)

Its nuts mate, honestly. You start off thinking 'Yeah, this is okay', then by the time you get to rep 25 you're wishing you'd never bothered :rolleyes:

Im starting a new program very soon, but until then i just wanna play :thumb:
 
B - it hurt. ALOT :D

So, today was meant to be chest, but last night at circuits we did about 100 pushups so my chest is quite fatigued today. I decided to leave chest to another day and do shoulders:

Tuesday 11th March

Wala Challenge Week - Shoulders: 40 reps - 90s RI

30 WG Pullups - BW-75lb: 4 sets

Internal + external rotation - 2 sets each arm each way

Military Press - 22lb: 28 r/p 12

Upright Row - 22lb: 25 r/p 10 r/p 5

Lat Raises - 7's: 21 r/p 9 r/p 7 r/p 3

Reverse Cable X-over - 7lb each side: 40

Rear Delt Machine - 30lb: 26 r/p 14

20 mins Bike UT1 ~150bpm (forgot heart rate monitor so don't know for sure)


Tough session, even though i didn't manage any full 40-rep sets. Unbelievably burny on the shoulders and by the time i left the gym i looked like i had shoulder pads in :laugh:
 
Awesome w/o's Sister Sam, I'd be dying if I did all that!!!
 
hey now!!!!!!!:mad:

i only sell things such as large hard cucumbers, butternuts squash, and grapefruit(for those of you that have seen"good luck chuck")
 
by the way, ms. out of my fucking mind easton, the workouts:bow::bow:
 
Okay, 3rd day of Wala Challenge Madness. Today was Back:

Wednesday 12th March

Wala Challenge - 40 reps: 120s RI

WG Pullups - BW-75lb: 4 sets

CG Pulldowns - 50lb: 1x40

DB Rows - 18's: 1x40

Stirrup Grip Cable Rows - 35lb: 1x40

Stirrup Grip Pulldown - 50lb: 1x40

Unilateral Straight-Arm Cable Pulldown - 7lb: 2x20 (each arm)

16 mins X trainer - high intensity AT
161-171bpm (84-90% max)

Good workout. Shoulders are a bit fatigued from yesterday but nothing too major. Completed all sets at 40 reps so need to up the weight for next time, but the lats were burning by the end! Heart rate was very very high!

I've decided what i'm doing next week - TRIPLE DROP-SET WEEK :thumb:

I would imagine your shoulders were fatigued from the pushups too ...
Click to expand...

Yeah, they were but i decided to save chest till i was fresh and blitz shoulders since they were already a bit fatigued. I couldn't have done Back, not after a leg day like that plus the circuit training :eek:

Thanks Arch - but i cope quite well with high reps. Which reinforces to me that im not built for speed or power, but for endurance.

Lets hear it for the Type II fibres - YAY!!

Thanks mate - but again, im built for endurance so these kind of things aren't mind-blowing for me. Things like DOMS' 10x3, now THATS mind blowing :eek:

nice w/o sammy! just checking, but are you doing 4 sets of 40 pullups??? haha, yea i'll bet you're heart rate is going by the end of a wala w/o ;)

triple drop-set, huh? i think i need to try out double drop-set first, but your ability to one-up yourself is starting to infect me :D your progress is very encouraging to my own workouts!

No sorry, that was my mistake. I did 30 WG pullups, which took me 4 sets to complete with a r/p inbetween. I've been doing 30 pullups most days in an attempt to get better at them :rolleyes:

Drop-sets are tough, but triple drop sets are fucking brutal! That should finish me off good and proper :D
 
triple drop sets????? Are you mad??? Or are you just seeing how far you can push yourself before you collapse... lol
 
Damn Sam you are one tough cookie I must say!!! Great workout girl!
 
My hats DEFINATLY tipped to you Sister Sam, Fantastic w/o!!!

Yup, mistress Sam is fairly pushing the boat out with these crazy workouts....

Come to think of it.....was it 'sam' who launched a thousand ships back in the days of yonder?
 
so here's a question: what is a wala cardio challenge look like? 40 min of HIIT? no! don't do it! ;)

so what's your plan for workouts after wala-fest is over?

I've learned from the best mate - your workouts make mine look like a like paddle on a sunday afternoon!

Christ!! A Wala Cardio Challenge - thats asking for trouble!

I think, after my week off, im going to try 2 sets of 8-10 reps again, to failure. I've not done failure training for ages so that should be fun!

Speaking of which, i need to post up my new program and get it critiqued by the lads and lassies of this board. I'll do that soon . . . .

Nice Sam your work outs are nicely put together. 160-170 hart rate for that long would prolly kill me.

Thanks JH - nice of you to stop in!

That workout almost killed me, im telling you!
