Pushdowns
100lbs x 12

*setted with*

Fat Grips DB Curls
18kg 'bells to failure

*setted with*

Single arm cable Rows

Facepulls

For 5 Rounds, took off the fat gripz after round three because they were wreckin my buzz.

I have a vid of the 80kg fat gripz clean, the lack of power is astonishing, holding onto it is hard enough. I may put it up.


post scriptum: i killed my tendonitis with ibuprofen during the week.

Technically i failed the second rep of both doubles at 120 but they were so colse that i've decided to count them :pac:

Just realised i was supposed to work up to a 5rm front squat, not ramp up, although tbh the whole movement is so alien to me that it would have only meant an extra few kgs if even.

I now own a hockey ball.

It's pretty sad that 120 x 5 is a PR

Inspector Coptoor

shut up you a$$ monkey

Hanley

It's pretty sad that you travelled up to Raw to rob Kieran's hockey ball.

Today

Did nothing worth logging.
Did sweat a lot though.

Discovered i can actually jerk from a proper rack position which is nice, except i can't clean anymore.

I'm pretty sure you said that when i got 130, and i've come nowhere near it since.

I kinda switched back to PPs from attempting more of a powerjerk, i'm definitely stronger pushpressing it.

Thats interesting you'd thing you would be stronger power jerking it rather than pushpressing.Do you know whats the most you could pp on a log?It's a neutal grip so Id say it'd be more raw tricep power than anything else

You may be right, but it shawnuff don't feel that way when you do it.

I've been staying away from the log because it ruins me when it's in a rack position.

I'll try the mini log later.

EDIT: no i won't.

BB Curls

Will probably have a crack off 100 x 100 next week. It'd be fannyish not to attempt it.

Tried on one of those baby weightlifting belts for one of the sets and it made me want to spew, might use it for 3RMs and stuff though.

Happy Enuff.

Yeah, i may have invented it:pac:

I'm not going to lie, it feels much too heavy.

I can't get any of these bastards to teach me any technique.

Was rummaging through a bag of old clothes and found what i suspect is an adidas knee sleeve for a tiny person but fits me as an elbow sleeve. Sweet.

Also Choc Nut from myprotein is unreal.

You have no idea how happy i am with the jerks, i didn't even come close to pressing any out untill the last set and i'm getting sort comfortable from the racked position, considering 3 weeks ago i could barely get into position never mind jerk from it.

This is class
