stiff leg dead lift (barbell or dumbell) try doing these on a box so you can go deeper than normal
romanian deadlift

Alright thanks man.Dont have a box unfortunatly.

Bench press 75kg for 1, then 72.5kg for 2.I dunno what I was thinkin here really.I didnt push with all my might like I should have.I was acting like I was doing something like 5 reps where you only push really damn hard on last one or two.Basically I forgot too push hard.Reckon I could have done 75 for 2 or 72.5 for 3.Also I should definitely have the spotter lift the weight up for me when goin less than 5 I think.
Pullover 30kg 4 rep(dont have anything heavyier than 30kg)
Squat 85kg 3 reps
Deadlift 102.5kg 3 rep
straight leg deadlift 95kg 3 rep
1arm db row 30kg 8 reps(dont have anything heavyier than 30kg)

Rob how do i make sit ups harder?I heard its good to put a weight behind your head but I wasnt sure so im asking you.

The key here is to get away from situps altogether.

Suggest static holds ala cable cruches off of a high pulley. Hold handle behind head while kneeling. Have someone push you into the contracted position and hold for 5-10 seconds. Two sets of static holds.

If still inclined to do situps, consider the following instead.

- Lie of your back
- Have training partner stand over your head with feet next to your ears
- With legs straight, bring feet (together) up to a point over the face
- Have training parnter throw feet back to the ground
- Rebound up

You can do this straight up and down, off to each side etc. Mix it up. Have your training partner throw your legs in various directions in an attempt to confuse you. After a set of 30 is accomplished with ease, attach weight to ankles in 5lb increments.

I dont have a cable or a partner :0

I could do that on my own though or is it not nearly as effective then?

You could do it on your own yes.

Do you have a lat pulldown? If so, you can perform the crunch exercise on your own albeit with some slight modification.

If none of those work, consider the following:

- Partial situps/crunches on a slight incline, adding small amounts of weight over time. The rep range should be LOW, perhaps 6-10

You want to curl yourself about halfway up, hold for a sec and repeat.

Yeap I do buts its a flimsy plastic piece of crap that doesnt move up and down properly.

Where do I add the weight for the partial sit up?I don't get what you mean.I can't do small incline, only a fairly big incline.Would a small decline be just as good?

Be prepared to walk funny..

You'd just hold the weight on your chest. Cross your arms and hold it there (hug it).

Big incline is OK. Start with just bodyweight though....

Been studying for exams.Might get the workout in today, might not.Only 2 workouts left anyway.If I dont get the workout in today ill make sure I do it tomorrow.

OK man. Good luck on those exams...

Really the exams have been taking up all my time so I have to end this log.

Conclusion: I gained 7lbs but learned a lot of things..

Gonna cut after my exams end, any suggestions?

Gonna do low calorie low carb, what you think?Anything else?Maybe E/C stack.
