Saturday 18th January 2014 - Legs / Back Assistance @ Temple Gym
Frist session back at them Temple in a month and it's a solo one.
Front Squats (Sans Belt)
Apart from the front squats, it was quite a decent session.
Tried my gammy thumb with some hook grip work and it helf up ok(ish) - It's a little sore now but it's not dropping off

That cage is fantastic!!!!! Cute little things!!!!
Would love a few but dont have the room really so wouldnt be fair. Have a syrian hamster, not a big chewer so gets run of the hallway/stairs/landing on a night when he eventually wakes up.

Yeah, the enclosure is Ace - I'm very proud of it
They really like the space they have, I feel so sorry for the poor little blighters that get bout from Pets at Home in a cage barely big enough for a hamster

Monday 21st January 2014 - RE Deads and Overhead @ Middlewood
Training with Padawan Jon today and Jim da Mus today - Looking forward to this after a very pleasent weekend
After playing with hook grip again on Saturday (and my thumb still being attached), I'm going to give it a run out today as well.
Deadlifts
From the floor - Beltless
From 3" blocks
Savickas Press
A bit of a disappointing deadlift session, but I've no one to blame for that other than myslef1
Pressing on the other hand was solid - A cheeky PB on the Savickas press was very welcome, although jumping straigt into the 42kg DB's for seated pressing was a bit of a shock - They are fooking heavy (just flicking them to my shoulders was an effort )!!!!
I'll try and have a better session on Wednesday

- 217.5kg x 3 (Straps)
- It was a mistake to do my first set at 205kg beltless as I had to stop at 4 reps (I couldn't hold my lower back arch on the last rep), then I jumped straight into my belted set and I was gassed from the get go. My form was pretty nasty and all in all the reps were much harder than they should have been.
My thumb also moaned a little after the 1st 205kg hook grip set so I strapped up from there.
Savickas Press
- 78.75kg x 5 - PB
- 78.75kg x 5
- 42kg x 3

It's right angles FFS! Any damn fool can cut right angles and some of them can do it without maiming themselves!
Now the nest is another matter, that takes imagination.

There were also quite a few mitre joints involved!

Friday 24th January 2014 - ME Bench / Assistance @ Middlewood
Training with Padawan Jon tonight and feeling a bith fresher for this one (I wasn't wanting to nod off on the way home at any rate )
Bench Press (paused)
Benching was pretty tidy today and I was still managing to use my lats to launch the bar off my chest with the heavy weights.
I finally feel like I'm getting somewhere with this silly movement

Monday 27th January 2014 - DE Deads and Overhead @ Middlewood
AFter making a mess of deadlifting last week, I decided to play around with my set up today.
The main variable was to be how close I set up to the bar (and consequently how low / high my hips are in the start position)
Training with Padawan Jon
Deadlifts
From the floor - Beltless
Snatch Grip - From 3" blocks - Beltless
Far better than last weeks efforts, just need to remember exactly how I setup and pulled today
