 Still got a little bit of strength Member 400, 22717 posts | This morning... (I'm not including all the warm-up lifts, not that I do many!) POWER CLEANS (with small diameter (10Kg) discs on)... 102.5 - 3 reps, 3 reps, 3 reps. DEAD LIFTS standing on blocks (approx 2.5")... 245 - 1 rep, 1 rep. Slightly strained my back on the 2nd single. Nothing major. This meant I had to skip squats. CHINS (under-hand grip)... BW+20 - 3 reps, 3 reps BW - 9 reps. SINGLE-HAND PLATE PINCHING I currently use a pair of 15s (smooth side outwards!) with a chain threaded through for a little extra weight. I did 3 sets each hand - pick it up, hold until it starts to slip, put down. These holds last a few seconds, with my right hand out-performing my left. | ||

Still got a little bit of strength Member 400, 22717 posts | Trained on "The Farm" with WILLSAN and jt again yesterday. YOKE 240 for 20 metres - felt heavy! 300 for 20 metres - messy, one drop 320 for 20 metres - PB - that`s better! 360 - a few messy steps FARMER`S 70 per hand for 40 metres 100 per hand for 20 metres 120 per hand for 20 metres 140 per hand for 20 metres OVERHEAD MEDLEY - yoke, log trainer, axle, "bag" - all around 100Kg Dropped yoke and got hit in the face. My 1st thought (apart from OUCH) was - are my teeth still there? They were. Split my lip and had a bloody nose. Did the medley twice (minus yoke!). Failed the "bag" both times. Atempted 120 axle (although initially it was mis-loaded at 130!), but couldn't quite clean it. Had nothing left. Also attempted to press the "bag" again, but failed. | ||

 JEDWARD Member 454, 980 posts SQ 225, BP 170, DL 275670.0 kgs @ 106kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 20.04.2009 @ 15:49 PM by VinnyfromCustardLand I too have smashed myself in the face pressing a yoke. I hope like me everybody supported you after they got up off the floor. Trust me you wont do that again. | ||
