Funny day. Was all psyched for 200 3x3 and 212 x3, then said to rob Jesus I better check it. And realised id been looking at Sundays sesh instead. M

Daz pointed out my DL set up has changed and it's one of the reasons why it's gone so ****. So played about with that. And it made a difference.

5rm rack pull Sunday after squats so hopefully it'll hold up then.

As good as my squats were, watching snacks squat a beltless 120 for > 1.5x BW was better

Triple looked ridiculously drama-free. Bastard.

Have you got any videos of fails in the rack and how you bail into the supports without damaging yourself?

Post up the video where you are on the rings and fall off them.

That makes me laugh, A LOT. Almost as much as JJayoo's perfect form push press.

Yesterday was a good day.

Shoulder felt a bit ming-dog going in, but held together. Decided not to dip/fly cos I knew it would make it worse. Gonna drop them altogether for now. Got a lot out of them, but feel my shoulder suffering.

The 142 was the sloppiest of the lot... skidded off my chest but managed to recover it. MIGHTA had a bit more with better tekkers.

Looks like shoudlers are a bit of a weakpoint now too. 60x10 is f*cking sh*t.

Love finding problems. Makes getting easier so much stronger

****.My.ELBOW.

Demo'd a squat about 10am to a client, and I knew as soon as I got under the bar then that my right shoulder was all glued up badly.

Did some work to try and release it but it was having none of that.

Been a while since I was in the foetal position, but I was there today.

Got thru the 5x5 without too much drama really. Tough, but mangeable. Didn't enjoy them tho.

Benching was an unholy nightmare. Entire right side was crippled. Some nerve impingement definitely going on judging by the unstream tightness.

Off to Newcastle on the first flight of the day on Wednesday... which means I'll either have to squat late Tuesday night or first thing Wednesday morning. Neither option particularly appeals right now.

can't imagine doing that sort of volume with those weights, what's the toughest session left to come in this cycle?

Back from the geordie shore and feeling fairly fatigued. Delayed squatting a day cos I knew I didn't have it in me.

Shoulder still feels a bit grindy, so didn't wanna push too hard.

REALLY wanted 112.5kg x15 but just died a death. I've done 110 x13 and 115 x11 recently so kinda sitting right in the middle of that atm!

117.5kg next week for max reps. Double figures or death.

UNHOLY pump off the Cs and Ds there. Still feel full a few hours later. And nearly puked my guys everywhere.

Back in the saddle with the squats tomorrow - 215kg 4x3. Eek.

Horrible sesh. Squats look and felt like ****e. Esp after a strong day last week with 215kg.

Hopefully it's a temporary blip cos it was earlier in the day, I was tired and not particularly well fed.

Need a big dose of MTFU.

chriity139 · 16-12-2013 04:04PM

Great lifting man, still making it look easy even though you were tired.

Your videos and stats are a huge inspiration to me (looking to get into powerlifting) and I'd say everyone else. Keep it up

Bit of a WTF day yesterday....

60kg x3
80kg x3
90kg x3
97.5kg x3
102.5kg x3 - PR

20kg x11
15kg x12
10kg x12

D) Standing Press w/ dead stop below chin:
65kg x5
55kg x8
45kg x12

E) Yates Row:
60kg 3x12 w/ 2s paused at top

Ugh I dunno what the **** to make of that day.

Benching was alright. Strange to hit a 3RM PR, but fail so miserably on the singles. I had to fight REALLY hard for the 3rd rep fo the set and i think it just ended me.

I'm so incredibly busted up at this stage.

My legs feel dead and every squat session is a slog. Very little motivation despite having loads of recovery time.

I know this is all because I'm coming to the end of the training cycle (3 workouts left) and have been going HAM for the last 11+ weeks. But my god it feels like I'll never be the same again.

I'm not even confident I'll beat my last squat max off of this. Despite the numbers suggesting 245-250.

I can't explain the depth of fatigue. Just "empty". Every rep just kinda happens. But it doesn't feel like there's another kg in there. Even if I manage to pull 4-5 reps out of a set.

Guess I just have to keep showing up, do what the programming says, trust the process and keep moving forwards.

After the breakdown comes the breakthrough.

WHIP IT! · 19-12-2013 12:55PM

H, how does the band resisted bench work, what's the purpose and what does '50kg at the top' mean?

Cheers - and keep 'er lit!

You need constant tension cos if you relax at any point the bands accelerate the bar towards your face.

Also you're weakest on the chest and strongest at the top. As the bar is pushed up, the band stretches, so resistance increases as your reach stronger position. With arms maxmimally extended, 'at the top', there's 50kg worth of band tension.

C'mon now! It'll all be over soon and you'll have 3 whole weeks 'til your next period ;-) But some good lifting. You've to go through the night to see the sun rise...and other comforting cliches.

170kg x3
200kg x4
*belt*
215kg 2x4, 1x5 - PR

...shoulda been 3x4. Sarah asked me after the last set why I did 5. Couldn't help but reply with "...because I can".

So pumped after it. Best 5 rep set of my life. By a good margin.

Got some nose tork too in a package from lifting large. It's amazing how smells and stuff bring back memories. As soon as I sniffed it, it was like being back in Hercs *tear

Now to deload until NYE when I test. PSYCHED (...and also very very scared that I won't realise my gainzz).
