sa vage doms in my lower back today. i told people in the gym and they didnt care.

dead 140kg x 15

pullovers x 20

deads felt so sh1t, i was never doing 2 sets so upped it to 140. i cant get used to wearing a belt either, it keeps pinching my fatness.
squats were good but considerably tougher with only an extra 5kg, i can see double sets getting dropped as the programme goes on.

Try one of the skinnier weightlifting belts you won't get as much support from one as a powerlifting belt but its a lot less awkward and for me doesn't feel like I'm going to break a rib. That or try a velcro belt somewhere in between the support and awkwardness of the other two belts.

squats were a bit of a head battle, i was looking for excuses tbh. by the time i got around to the deads though i was flyin, i recorded the 1st set and it looked fairly strong, lots of speed with no drop off during the set. set 2 was the same.

everything needs to move up now. the squats are going to start getting horrible. on a lighter note the gym is closed for a week. i need to be rehoused for 7 days if anybody has any suggestions.

imnothim

i ran about 40km in the last week but the gym's back today. the restlesness from not training has meant iv decided to throw in coan/phillipi d.l programme and brad gillingham raw bench on the same day while still hitting 20rep squats prog 3 days. i might have to tailor the d.l on one of the days to stay uncrippled, also the 20reps only have about 4 weeks left so il switch back to strenght then.

iv calculated the d.l programme to go from 240kg to 280kg, so its going to destroy me.

mother of god, that was the introductory week.

i was the only person in the gym so i had to hit the guns while i had the chance, love the pump.

imnothim

domdoms, my lower back was really tight last night and this morning.

1 squirt deep heat + 1 scoop protein + 1 scoop casein + 600ml milk = relief

i put in 45 min on the treadmill, real handy and i felt brand new after. win.

bender row 70 x 12,12,12

deads 140 x 15 - i dropped a set and stayed at 140 to try and stay fresh for deadlift day

overall im still feeling the effects of sat, not with doms as such but i just felt so sluggish today. i was glad to finish. the gym feels like a new gym to, there wasnt the usual buzz down there tonight. maybe im just a bit grumpy today.

when i was finished the last set somebody pointed out my miscalcution and that they noticed it very early but didnt want to put me off cos it looked good.

i totally mishandled all my training in the last 7/8 days with coan dl still to come. im glad though cos iv a good idea of where i am and where i want to go over the next few weeks. i want to start working in or around 200kg+ on squats by the summer, benching in the 120's and max out d.l somewhere between 260-300 ( while being disapointed with 260 ). also eat my way down to 100ish, from a less than muscular 106.

Well done on the Deadlifts. Looks like there is a good bit more left in the tank anyway. How many days a week do you plan on training now & what sort of programming are you doing on the non Deadlift days? You reckon if you plan on pushing weight on the deads & try cutting weight at the same time that it will kill you?

thanks, yeah id say 250 isnt impossible in the next week or so.
im doing 3 days + deadlift day, next week il have to juggle it a bit for work so prob 2+d.l.
im not cutting as such, just trying to cut out some of the ****e i eat over the next 3/4 months, this shouldnt affect traing to much cos it will be slow. i want to be sitting around 100kg all the time so if i do enter a comp i wont have to work to hard to make the 100class.
programming for squat and bench are a bit makeitupasigoalong at the moment, i might consult an expert in the next while for some advice.

Good training man - Strong.

That 252.5 would'nt pass as you're hitching - I have had the same problem (diff reason though) but have rectified it. Just be patient with the pull and you'll be good.

I'll be in on Thursday Night to pull if you're around.
