How are you finding the Power shrugs? Tried them before but never felt like I was doing them right. Do you do them with straps?

imnothim · 22-04-2013 10:23pm

power shrugs i like. il probably get a load of your doing it wrong messages after i say this, but i am very concious not to do a clean high pull, so i start with the bar at arms length ( rather than above the knee ) so it only travels about 3-4" but i "power" it through my legs and hold at the top for 3 - 5 seconds. i use straps too.

the chins surprised me, i kept pretty good form for all of them, i could probably have done a couple more sets.

i worked in with some of da za's training tonight. it was a good workout, which included a dubious pb that im going to claim. it was a good eye opener for me in relation to my own d.l, there were 2/3 points/weaknesses in the lift where i can improve which he pointed out to me. im going to finish my coan programme over the next 4-5weeks and then hopefully we can work together a bit more consistantly , i have no problem in admitting that i wouldnt be able to do both in the same week.

ok so i knew this was going to happen when i started this programme but as the weeks went by i genuinely believed i could complete it. i have a lot of excuses as to to why i missed my lifts today but the bottom line is that i wasnt ready.
i had a few guys watching today and the consensus was that i have no problem the strenght part of the lift but the technical part is really lacking. brute strenght and ignorance has got me to a 260kg deadlift but to go forward from here i have a lot of work to do.

265 - fail, one of my hands opened
265 - i didnt reset from the miss. mistake#1. i think i would have got it had a few other things on the day been a bit different, food, sleep, work all that lark, fact is though, i missed.

im going to run the russian squat programme again but not for a couple of weeks, im switching my main focus to deadlift from now untill the idfpa single lifts in august(i think).
having said that i done no deadlifts tonight and attempted a squat session that makes me think i was under the influence of something when i planned it.

squats
60x5 30sec pauses
100x5 3x30sec pauses
120x5
140x10
160x10
180x20*

110x3
115x2
122.5x1
127.5x1 x5
117.5x3 x3
102.5x7 x4

my bench is improving a bit ahead of what i expected, loads of reps + loads of weight seems to be a good combo. i think 127.5kg might be a pb too.

pull downs + push downs. heavy, 3 sets each, 5-8 reps per set.

*planned 180x20 squat, may have actually been 180x3

imnothim · 28-05-2013 8:54pm

coan deadlift week 2

the difference to doing this programme while pushing myself hard and basically not are immense. by correcting my technique the speed deads are fast, but the consequence of giving it welly on the speed deads is that i was running on fumes for the rest of the assistance work, grip-forearms-hammy's-brain all took a bit of a beating so i missed reps, dropped weight, took multiple attempts to finish sets etc.
i think some sort of re-feuling during this workout is going to have to be put in place from now on.
