my buttocks hurt Member 337, 2119 posts SQ 300, BP 140, DL 305 745.0 kgs @ 125kgs Eq	Monday 26th October Taking a week off heavy back squats. Also a bit concerned about the ongoing shoulder problems. Front squat 60kg*5 60gk*5 100kg*3 140kg*3 Deadlift 120kg*5 170kg*3 190kg*3 - add belt 220kg*2 230kg*2 240kg*2 250kg*2 260kg*2 All felt pretty sharp apart from the second rep with 260, but was feeling a little tired and hungry by then. Going with a narrower stance and quite a low, tight belt, which feels just right at the moment. The return to back squats has definitely been a good thing. Back to them next week. I reckon that 3 weeks heavy squats then 1 week deadlifts is the pattern for a while now.

my buttocks hurt Member 337, 2119 posts SQ 300, BP 140, DL 305 745.0 kgs @ 125kgs Eq	Sat 31st October Warmups with farmers and axle and various shoulder exercises then...

Need to keep working on this as there are 3 higher platforms to go yet. Good fun.

my buttocks hurt Member 337, 2119 posts SQ 300, BP 140, DL 305 745.0 kgs @ 125kgs Eq	Tuesday 3rd November Squat 60kg*5 100kg*5 140kg*5 180kg*2 200kg*2 220kg*4 - Definitely the limit. 4th rep was an abortion. Very excited. Getting nearer to my best, weighing 1 stone less than I did. Deadlift 120kg*5 170kg*3 190kg*3 210kg*2 - urgh 210kg*2 210kg*2 - suddenly felt very easy (belt too tight?) 210kg*2 - got unpleasant again 210kg*2 I predict that I will feel very used tomorrow. But things are looking good. Just got to keep getting fatter.

my buttocks hurt Member 337, 2119 posts SQ 300, BP 140, DL 305 745.0 kgs @ 125kgs Eq	Cheers JC. NB. missed pressing session in week due to work. Sat 7th November Axle 45kg*8 75kg 3*3 Log 85kg 2*1 Medley 85kg log, 95kg axle 90kg log, 95kg axle 95kg log, 95kg axle 100kg log 100kg log, 95kg axle Rain started so left there. Push pressed the log a few times. Want to do this wherever possible. Farmers' 70kh*30m 90kg*30m 90kg*30m Stone 100kg 2 singles trying (failing) the 6ft platform. Left it there as stone was wet and muddy. Tyre flip Lightest tyre*5 Medium tyre*4 - agin, muddy as hell Less than ideal conditions today, too cold, wet and muddy, but at least the overheads felt stable and fairly easy.

my buttocks hurt Member 337, 2119 posts SQ 300, BP 140, DL 305 745.0 kgs @ 125kgs Eq	Tuesday 10th November Squat 60kg 3*5 - long time to get warm 100kg*5 140kg*3 180kg*3 200kg*2 210kg*2 210kg*2 210kg*2 Trying really hard to get into some sort of groove, but a few goodmorning squats in there still. Deadlift 120kg*5 170kg*3 190kg*3 220kg*1 - belt on 240kg*1 200kg*5 Went a bit off plan. My body rewarded me by saying it didn't want to do deadlifts.

my buttocks hurt Member 337, 2119 posts SQ 300, BP 140, DL 305 745.0 kgs @ 125kgs Eq	Sunday 15th November Exam conference meant I couldn't train events on Sat. Quick one at the gym instead. Bike/row to warm up folowed by light rehab exercises for shoudlers. Powerclean (from hang) 60kg 5 sets of 3 Standing 1 arm DB press 10kg 2*10 (each arm, 1 set palms in, one palms out) 17.5kg 2*10 (as above) 20kg 2*5 (ibid) Hammer curls 1*10 Hammer curl and press (kind of like a 'viper' press with dumbells) 10kg*10 20kg*7 Also did a lot of tidying up between sets due to the high volume of inconsiderate fools who train there.

Been a bit famine and feast. Therefore was very conscious of the burger, chips and chicken nuggets threatening... Squat 60kg*5 60kg*5 100kg*5 140kg*3 180kg*1 180kg*1 - belt and wraps on 200kg*1 220kg*1 230kg*1 240kg*1 - best squat in 2.5 years. First time I've used wraps and it felt weird. Deadlift 120kg*5 170kg*3 190kg*3 220kg*3 - belt on for these Left it there. Next week I'll rest the squats, thank god.

my buttocks hurt Member 337, 2119 posts SQ 300, BP 140, DL 305 745.0 kgs @ 125kgs Eq	Thursday 19th November Push press 20kg 2*10 60kg*5 60kg*5 80kg*3 90kg*3 100kg*1 110kg*1 90kg 3*3 Pulldowns/seated rows 2*10 of each in a circuit*3 Dips Bodyweight*few several sets on machine, ascending weight Binning the flat bench for the foreseeable. I hate it, it's making my shoulder hurt and I don't even think I'm getting anything out of it anymore.

Light tyre 1*5 1*7 Felt a bit perfunctory but god I'm unfit!

my buttocks hurt Member 337, 2119 posts SQ 300, BP 140, DL 305 745.0 kgs @ 125kgs Eq	Monday Shoulder rehab exercises 1 arm DB press - several sets Tuesday Squat 60kg 3*5 100kg*3 140kg*1 180kg*1 200kg*1 220kg 2*1 Deadlift 120kg*3 170kg*1 210kg*1 250kg*f,f,1 Arse. Not a good session. Borne out of anxiety really. Decided to do the GBPF comp next week, so somehow persuaded myself that working up to my openers would be a good idea. Retarded. Rushed through, didn't get warm enough etc. First 2 times I walked up to the 250 deadlift I just completely lost it. Didn't even start pulling. Third effort took real psyching up and was phenomenally slow. At least it was a good clean lift. Lessons learnt: 1. Warm up properly 2. Find out how to use wraps correctly 3. More sets to warm up for the deadlift

my buttocks hurt Member 337, 2119 posts SQ 300, BP 140, DL 305 745.0 kgs @ 125kgs Eq	Saturday 28th November Clean/push press 60kg*5 70kg*5 80kg*3 90kg*3 100kg*2,2,1,1 110kg*1 clean only 120kg*3 clean pulls Cleans felt strong. Really worked on gettting back arch and a distinct second pull. Presses not on song. Kept getting exertion headaches so didn't really push them. Bench 60kg*1,1,1 80kg*1 90kg*1 100kg*1 Going for a token bench next week. Just having a feel. Will probably go 100 and leave it there. Worked on a few technical things which seemed to help keep pressure off shoulder. Pullups Machine 2*10 Bodyweight 20 reps total DB row 37.5kg*10 50kg*5 50kg*10 Have picked some really conservative openers for next week. Looking forwards to it. Just wish I had been a bit more structured with my build-up. A couple of v.light sessions next week, then after the comp will begin getting ready for the Adlington meet.
