embarrasingly poor bench Member 2684, 4043 posts SQ 240, BP 135, DL 275650.0 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq | Friday 12 December 2014 Axle 115Kg x 2 sets of 3 and a set of 2 120kg x 1 Incline Log 90kg x 4 sets of 4 Dumbell (right arm only as my left shoulder has a bit of a niggle) 50Kg x 2 sets of 8 65kg x 2 sets of 3 Various other pressing assistance stuff that is barely worth even logging. Had intended to do some farmers and keg loading too but the ice outside was too bad and it would have been pretty dangerous so gave it a miss. Decent enough session. | ||

embarrasingly poor bench Member 2684, 4043 posts SQ 240, BP 135, DL 275650.0 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq | Yeah it is good having someone to push you on. Looking forward to the qualifier as i think it is a fairly decent set of events for me, the standard is always getting better though so will need to put in some serious work to have any hope of qualifying. | ||

embarrasingly poor bench Member 2684, 4043 posts SQ 240, BP 135, DL 275650.0 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq | Saturday 20 december Missed a couple of sessions this week due to work so todays session ended up being a bit of a mish-mash of different things. Deadlift 200Kg x 5 220kg x 3 sets of 3 240kg x 1 Suit on 260Kg x 3 270kg x 1, my form was pretty ropey on the suited pulls but i think i am just a bit out of practice with the suit. Axle 110Kg x 3 115kg x 3 sets of 2, my form on the jerks is a bit sloppy due to lack of practice and it is becoming more of a jerk press, managing to press them out though which i never used to be able to do. Dumbell Right arm 50Kg x 2 sets of 8 left arm 2 Sets of 5 A decent session i suppose. Should manage to get back on track next week. | ||

embarrasingly poor bench Member 2684, 4043 posts SQ 240, BP 135, DL 275650.0 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq | Missed a few days of training as I was suffering with various knocks and scrapes after some idiot decided he wanted to fight with me while I was working on hogmanay. Monday 5 January Strict Log 80kg x 2 sets of 4 and 2 sets of 3, these felt heavy today, hence the missed reps. Also tweaked my lower back a bit aggravating it after hurting it playing rugby a few months back. Log (push press) 90kg x 3 sets of 5 Incline Log 90kg x 2 sets of 5, lower back was cramping so dropped my last set. Finished off with some db lateral raises and chins. A fairly ordinary session today and a tad frustrating that my lower back keeps niggling away. Got a decent bit of work in though. | ||
