    Pre test 10 06

    Squat
    100kg 3x1 xxx
    Grand. Keep trying to tweak form

    Bench
    54kg x1 x
    50kg 3x1 xxx
    Boring

    Deadlift
    102kg 3x1
    Xxx
    Didn't bother w belt or chalk
    Trying to work on setup as ever


    Hopefully testing at home tomorrow. No idea what to expect. More than 124 I should hope for the squat. Don't care as much about the others


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Politics Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 81,310 CMod ✭✭✭✭coffee_cake


    Coach suggested I could split the lifts into different days. We're so far away from comp season no need to replicate.

    Today was a total ****ing disaster for the squats so that's what I'll do for the other two

    128.5kg (New 1.25 plates arrived)
    With my forward lean and "might get decapitated" look as bad as it ever has been. Frustrated after all the work I've put into it
    :mad:

    Congrats so :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 530 ✭✭✭new2tri19


    Did you make 128.5? Well done if so .
    Welcome to the forward lean club ! At least your leaning forward with a respectable weight on your back :)


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Politics Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 81,310 CMod ✭✭✭✭coffee_cake


    Yeah sorry I was annoyed posting so it wasn't very clear. I did make it, depth was just on parallel.
    Failure not an option at home!

    I'll have to do more upper back and core work or something

    Thanks guys

    Anyday you set a new record is a good day , someone told me this after a race before I was over analysing my performance and he said " you've just gone faster than you ever did before , why be unhappy , it's rarely going to be pretty setting a pb and if your disappointed it means you've loads more to improve , he was right " enjoy your PB it was a Great Day .

    I’m only new to it but I’d imagine using a SSB would benefit you

    I hear ya


  • Registered Users Posts: 24,550 ✭✭✭✭Alf Veedersane


    You know yourself that it was just one squat. The work has still been done and you made it even with making it harder for yourself.

    The technique will come through too.

    S'all good and well done on the heaviest squat you've ever done.


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,715 ✭✭✭✭Dtp1979


    Yer hips shooting back a bit early is putting levering the weight onto your upper back, hence the potential decapitation. Is anyone else thinking that?


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Politics Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 81,310 CMod ✭✭✭✭coffee_cake


    Got a talk and serious perspective from coach who pointed out the breakdown most certainly is not as bad as its ever been as evidenced by an older video he sent on.
    I've just made so much improvements lately that it looks terrible by comparison but for a max form breakdown it's actually OK for me. I looked like i was actually trying to lift the bar with my neck in an older video which was over 20kg lighter. I guess it's like my bench, all good until suddenly its not.
    Time to calm down buck up and keep working!


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Politics Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 81,310 CMod ✭✭✭✭coffee_cake


    Deadlift up to 140kg
    Easy nuff
    Fingers crossed for next week. I think coach said if I was testing next week I should be going light today. Sure look

    Test day part 2 15 06

    Bench 66kg +1kg PR fkin lol
    Bar all over the place
    Untracked 68.5kg and said NOPE


    Deadlift
    I completely added the plates wrong (using 25kg plates always throws me off instead of 20kg ones) and thought I was loading for 160 when I loaded for 150
    Devastated

    Bar definitely loaded for 150 now
    Didn't do full lockout at top (I don't know why? I think i went "this is hard" and gave up??) but I lifted it so I'm counting it; +5kg

    154.5 xf

    Disaster of a testing whatever it was but sure look :D
    I'll go again after another couple training cycles and be better

    Just rewatched and my foot went up at the top of the 150. What. Single leg deadlifts r us
