Cuddles said: Looking strong Mick, especially after 3 weeks off the events. Thanks mate.Glad to start training stones again!Need lots of work on everything at the moment.Log isn't to good right now.I started making fairly good progress last year until injuring the elbow  .I think I can get it beyond my previous PB fairly quickly if I can train it consistently. | |||

I've had a few Pascal batterings as well! Nice to see your log here, Mick. Cheers Martin.Happy New Year!How's Plymouth and the new venture? | |||

JC said: Thanks Mick Mixed session last night. Tested out the pec with bench, said an emphatic no, but light pushies were OK. Clean were abysmal, but no done for a few months! Power Cleans 40KG x 5 60KG x 5 70KG x 3 90KG x 3 100KG x 3 110KG x f, f 115KG x f - v close, head not fully in them! Push Press 40KG x 5 60KG x 5 80KG x 3 100KG x 3 Bench 60KG x 5 100KG x 5 130KG x 5 - chest said no! 1 Arm Dumbell OHverhead (SPOLA?) 45lb x 3R, 3L 60lb x 3R, 3L 80lb x 3R, 3L 90lb x 2R, 2L 100LB x 1R, 1L 110LB x 1R, fL 120LB x 1R 130LB x fR They were fun. Might do them more often It won't harm you to leave bench for a while anyway.So long as you can press overhead, thats the important thing. | |||

JC said: 2nd set of fronties looked strong last night mate. Looking forward to getting back to the big Tuesday squat sessions Thanks James,felt like I'd missed em for more than 2 wks though.Felt like I laboured on most the squats last night.The 2nd set was better probably cause I was pissed off from the lousy effort before it.  | |||

Boar said: Mick - have you ever seen the vid i did of your 355 a couple years back ? its one of my fave lifts whats the injuries your carrying at the moment ? 355kg Yes Boar I saw the vid a bit back when Wayne Catt told me about this site.It was a real grinder,if one of the spotters had blown on the bar I'd have failed it LOL.I've had 2 problematic injuries for a few months.The back problems an old one which reccurs fom time to time.It's a saccroilliac joint problem,causing trapped nerves ect.It started to flare up in summer during the sman season and I didn't really back off enough so it just got worse.I've also had bursitis on my left elbow sice mid october, had it drained about a month ago and stopped pressing movements for 4 wks or so.Both seem to be healing nicely now!Strange thing was I found squats and deadlifts very uncomfortable,but I've been able to partial deadlift,do heavy farmers pick ups + fronties with no pain at all so I've done them for last 7 wks | |||

JC said: Great too see a journal mate, will make cracking reading How is the elbow now? Fully healed? Thanks James,I thought it would be a good idea from a critique perspective aswell as keeping a record of my training.The elbow feels much better.I think the rest as done it a world of good.Strapped it up over holiday as Joni advised and thats helped aswell.Just got some vulcan supports so i'll use them from now on.Didn't feel any ill affects from pressing on monday,Clean and press went ok but the benching was poor.Suppose I should expect that with the lay off from pressing for last month or so.Not really handled any kind of weight or had any consistency since mid october so the tri's are weak at the moment. | |||
