Best lifts of 2021

 

 I missed a few of targets but surpassed others

I wanted 250 in squat but even tho I know I would have had about 90% chance of getting it, I must admit I didn't have the balls to take the 10% risk. That weight on your back is scary. So 240 it was which is 10kg up from last year.

Deads for some reason I couldn't push past 230. I got no answer for that really, I went for too many 1 rep maxes too soon rather than working more on the 2-3rep range. I was punished by peaking too soon as a result. Wanted 240-250kg but only.manahed to match my previous pb but at least It was easy and not bust a gut this time

Bench was at 160. I didn't put any expectations on myself for this, never do since I tore, but in my middle phase I was doing so well I honestly thought I'd get 170 and maybe even push a lil bit more out. But it was then then I injured my shoulder and had to take 4weeks off with about another 4 weeks of taking it easy. So 160 was everything I had (I even tried 161kg but failed lol so deffo to the kilo)

Shoulder press was brill tho. Despite my shoulder injury mentioned above, which made me stumble in progress a wee bit, I managed to exceed expectations and put 20kg on my pb. 140kg was a lifetime target on shoulder press, and although I would have liked to have done it behind my head, I wasn't willing to risk my shoulder again at the end. Still even in front of the head that Is a proper achievement (just as heavy and as hard but more comfortable which doesn't satisfy the sadist in me lol)

Proper stoked doing 190x2 front squat, 180kg bent overs and 111x20 on viking press. Extra bonus lifts :)

Got a solid plan for my lifting over the next 3 months. I'll share my thoughts in a later vid :) today is just a gentle reintro tho lol feel so fat and stiff after crimbo

Bench Press Workout - 4th may 2021

 Been painting the gym for the last 4days straight, and when your nakkered and aching, bench press is always there to catch you lol

A very easy and simple workout on bench today as I'm completely drained from the last few days, my body was screaming 😱 GET OF THE WEIGHTS YOU WEE EEJIT 😱 But the grind continues and those who fall behind are left behind.

So an easy plqyaround to start with on heavy-ish weights

Warming up on 90kg, then 110kg

Before doing 

120kg, 130kg and 140kg to finish

Then I took it down and did some volume on 120kg for reps, but this weight didn't feel good. I was doing short reps of the chest to increase the burn and focus on explosive power..... but meh was too tired to make anything of it, so went down to 90kg instead and did 3 volume sets and 1 set of slow positives and negatives 

Then a quick blast on 70kg proved how nakkered I was as I hardly did any.

So overall, not much, but something is always better than nothing

Training for VALHALLA bench press 26th April 2021

 Started with a little playaround on heavier weights today on bench. Got to 150kg 330lb and was well pleased as I have another 7-8months to peak, so if I'm doing 150kg now in my light phase I may be able to push for 180kg 400lb at the end of the year! But then playtime was Iver and it was time to do some work so stripped the bar down to 120kg 265lb. I wanted to start my volume work by doing super strict reps. Overly strict tbh and very controlled to the point of turning into a negative lift as well as the lift proper. Did this on 120kg, 110kg and 100kg. Then I wanted to work the explosion and speed of the movement off the chest, to put as much tension into the pecs as poss for maximum muscle growth. These are a much easier way to lift than compared to the prior few sets but help work your body in a different way. So ended up doing high volume sets on 90kg, 80kg and 70kg My back and shoulder are nearly healed following a couple of injuries that have come off the aftermath of my world record, so hopefully soon be back into the rhythm with squat and deadlift also #Pectastic Powerlifting corporation🏋️‍♂️ and #Peczilla Power 💪 Present #PECASAURUS the #EighthWonderOfTheworld APPROVED 🦖🦖🦖 media 💣💣 #BippityBoppityBOOM 💣💣 🍋#EasyPeasy 🍋 #LemonSqueezy 🍋 #BeastModeActivated 🍻🍺#valhalla 🍺🍻 #valhallaawaits #trainingforvalhalla  #valhallagym #valhallafitness 💪 #strong 💪 #vikingpower #vikingstrength #oldmandtrength ☢👾 #monster 👾☢#powerlifting #powerlifter 🏋️‍♂️ #weightlifting 🏋️‍♂️#gainz 💪🦖 #musclemonster 💪🦖  #fitnessmotivation #swoll 👹 #beastmode 👹 #liftheavyshit #doyouevenlift #neversettle  #liftheavy 🏋️‍♂️🏋️‍♂️🦖🦖🏋️‍♂️🏋️‍♂️

Deadlift and Backwork 27th April 2020

 Back day today! And strictly speaking I shouldn't be deadlifting atm due to a lower back injury, but he'll will freeze over before I take my own advice lol So took it easy on deads, kept it light and simple, though off camera I did thoroughly warm up with 15 singles on 120kg 264lb. But after deads the work began with loads of volume work. Combining t-bar row for thickness of the rhomboids, chins for width and thickness of the latisimus dorsi and finished off with two super sets of bent over rows to help flair out the lower lats. #BIGZILLA the #EighthWonderOfTheworld and #LATISAURUS REX ARTS Present #DEADZILLA APPROVED 🦖🦖🦖 media 💣💣 #BippityBoppityBOOM 💣💣 🍋#EasyPeasy 🍋 #LemonSqueezy 🍋 #BeastModeActivated 🍻🍺#valhalla 🍺🍻 #valhallaawaits #trainingforvalhalla  #valhallagym #valhallafitness 💪 #strong 💪 #vikingpower #vikingstrength #oldmandtrength ☢👾 #monster 👾☢#powerlifting #powerlifter 🏋️‍♂️ #weightlifting 🏋️‍♂️#gainz 💪🦖 #musclemonster 💪🦖  #fitnessmotivation #swoll 👹 #beastmode 👹 #liftheavyshit #doyouevenlift #neversettle  #liftheavy 🏋️‍♂️🏋️‍♂️🦖🦖🏋️‍♂️🏋️‍♂️

Big Als Fighting -February 2021

 So I'm back to training again with regards to my fighting. I am now in possession of a home gym with a wall mounted 15lb aqua bag, a 50kg free standing bag, and a ceiling mounted heavy bag(which I mount off my weightlifting cage)

My speed is up both for individual punches but also in my combos also. I have always had a natural understanding to the flow of punching and where to strike and when, but having an increased burst of speed is heartening in case I decide to step back in the ring either end of this year or sometime next year when the covid clears. 

I did a total of 10rounds and filmed it, edited down as highlights. Feel free to share any thoughts or comments

Kazmaeir Inspired Shrug Workout

One of my strongest (in fact it is my strongest) muscle groups is my traps.

Even as a young 16-17year old lad I've always been able to out lift every other lifter in the gyms that I have trained in on the shrug movement.

When used to lifting such heavy weights, I have been able to do 20reps on 360kg and even a couple kn 400kg. Perhaps I could have lifted even more but at this point I was no longer able to fit any more weight upon the bar.

Now that I have a cage and a home gym, with the capacity to load approximately 350-360kg (and soon more when I decide to buy some more plates), I find myself once again loading serious weight upon the bar and lifting in such a manner more regularly 

However with my last squat workout (the one where I got 240kg even though I failed a previous set on 220kg) I am now officially in the my light phase

Due to the in frequency if me doing shrugs I have always trained to the same note -as heavy as poss for 10-20 reps. Up to now it has always worked but....what I asked myself - why not due phase training on EVERY body part. 

And so now I find myself upon my light phase and with the necessary equipment required for regular training (needed for phase training) it is only natural for me to evolve my workouts in the most professional manner.

My first "light phase" workout on shrugs was simple in principal - to mimic the great Bill Kazmaeir. My father knew Kaz at his peak and asked him how he got such big traps. He said in his American accent "simple! I do sets of 40 on 180kg"

And so if good enough for whom I regard, in my humble opinion, as the strongest man to have ever lived, well it's good enough for "little ol me" haha

Except I consider myself to have some of the strongest traps around -yes I actually do think I'm that strong at them -and so it is only fitting for me to out do the old time great.

My workout was simple

Warmups 

60kg 20reps

100kg 20reps

140kg 20reps

180kg 20reps

200kg 40reps x 4sets

I managed this also despite feeling horrific (heavy cold) but regardless this display gave me great confidence in how I move forward.

So phase training with any luck will push me towards the high repage I desire on weights weighing approximately 400kg! 

I did not film this workout as per my norm, however I have filmed one that is already uploaded onto my youtube channel -houseofdvlin

For those interested I shall post the workout here (at this point I was simply returning to shrugs so bot as good as the workout I briefed you above -yet still a fun one to watch!)

Big Al's Fight Prep - 2

First bit of martial arts training during the lockdown, finally got a boxing bag of my own, this point it was May.

The bag weighs 50kg, and at this point there was a heatwave making it easy to film lots of footage :)

Fanny bags back in fashion?? Really must be the end of the world!!
