Good session. I'm struggling with form on the deadlift so close to my max. The video shows the fourth set of four. The first set was nothing short of embarrassing, second set was better, third set was probably the best of the lot and the final set wasn't too bad.

***************

The Deadlifts should've been 170kg singles (85%) but the heavy lifting the day before had been unsatisfactory so, after a chat with H on Wednesday evening, I rowed it back a bit and looked for more solid form. It's still not brilliant but I think it went a lot better. Here is each individual lift in order. All four have a conventional grip with no straps - this would be close enough to my limit for a regular grip without straps...

I did the first cycle off a 110kg 1RM (it may have been a kg or two conservative) and upped it to 117.5kg on Test day. So I've worked off 117.5 for the second cycle.

70kg 2 x 2
100kg 4 x 1
120kg 3/4 x 1
140kg 4/5 x 1

Just trying to get the DL back on track. I think it was a lot better. I was conventional grip until about midway thru the sets of 140.

After this there was about two minutes of gratuitous Bicep curling and hometime.

Thanks H. I don't know what it is, I just find the deadlift difficult to execute properly even at low weights. I always feel like I have to force myself into the correct set-up. I guess it most likely comes down to mobility? I do have tight hips and glutes.

****************

We've started back GAA training a month early so it's thrown my regular gym routine out of whack a bit. But that's my fault, I should've had the second six-week stint of this done by mid November.

The last three Saturdays have involved...

Saturday Nov 15: Approx 5km run (11 laps of pitch, no way it was 5km in my opinion but we does whats we're told)... 26.02

Saturday Nov 22: Approx 6km run with about 60% up a steep incline (two laps of a ~3k circuit)... Lap 1: 16.10; Lap 2: 16.57... Total: 33.07

Saturday Nov 29: Approx 9km run, 3 laps of same circuit... Lap 1: 15.27; Lap 2: 16.28; Lap 3: 16.22... Total: 48.17

We've also been doing twice-a-week S&C which involves one day upper body work and one day lower...

Upper Body Day
Exercise Ball Push-ups: 3 x 20
Chin Ups 3 x 8
Seated DB Press 3 x 12
Upright DB Row 3 x 12
Bent Over DB Row 3 x 12
Flat Bench Press 3 x 10
Incline Machine Press 3 x 12
Weight Back Extensions 3 x 15

Lower Body Day
DB Squats 3 x 12
Single Leg DB Deadlift 3 x 12 each side
Calf Raises 3 x 20
Walking Lunges 3 x 16 each side
Back Extensions 3 x 12

Not gonna lie.... the Lower Body day bores me... Upper Body day not so bad... but Squats with a dumbbell?? I feel like they should sell these at the vagina store...

ninamc · 03-12-2014 08:39PM

Ah there ya are

Was looking at your s&c and thinking to myself I'd be bored stupid with that so can only imagine how you'd be feeling doing it. Would most of your team do as much gym work as you? Or would that be tough for some of them?

No they wouldn't to be honest. Plenty of them would have the lungs on me (and 13/14 years in some cases) but none would match me in the gym to be honest.... a few probably think they would but that's ok
