Pretty happy with the last couple of sessions, finally managing to stick to my word and just train light.

Squats and axle deads yesterday both felt great, as did todays push pressing.

The 2nd 500m row today was an effort at pacing myself for a change, which sort of worked, but i left it too late to start pushing on so wasnt really as tired at the end as i should of been, and of course was slower than i would like.

Events tomorrow, and possibly more squats.

Good session today, managed to behave myself and keep it light until the very end, when I decided to add the plates I still had outside from the yoke to my final set of farmers.
4 out of the 6 reps of strict log were 1 motions, which was nice as usually my cleans are too ugly to let me go straight into pressing.
Getting very comfortable with 18" pulls, look forward to adding some more weight to them soon. Though next few axle deadlift sessions will be on blocks pulling from about 11" in prep for Maxpower comp.

DOH axle deads, axle strict press and speed squats for tomorrow nights session.

Happy with todays session, despite the epic failure with axle deads at the end. Apparently power cleans on the big axle take a fair bit out of my grip, lesson learnt, will know in future.

Happy with todays training, though a few of the squats felt uncomfortable, not difficult, but just not in my regular groove, sure a little more practice in the wraps will have them back up to par.
Everything else was pretty easy, log felt comfortable and a few of the deadlift reps really flew.
Will have one last week of laid back training, and then back to the hard stuff from next friday, that will give me about 4 weeks to get ready for Maxpower.


EDIT

A few hours prior to the above training I also managed to close my CoC 2 for the first time, had to set it down to about 30mm or so but still, I closed that b**ch so i'll take it.

Trained events at JP fitness today with a few other lads.

Log

85 x 8 - 1 clean.
85 x 5 - all reps FTOH.

Apollons axle

87 x 8 - 1st and 6th reps cleaned.

Farmers walk

105 x 30m - drop and turn @15m.

Farmers hold

125 x 1m01s.

Barrel load - all barrels started 8m out

65/70/70/90 x 2 runs.

Stones - no tacky

80 x 3,
110 x 2,
110 x 1.


Really enjoyed todays session, and managed to avoid pushing too hard on anything. Log felt very comfortable, quite a nice log to work on. Axle was comfortable enough, but the slippery floor made it a bit trickier than it should have been. Farmers walk and barrel load both suffered as a result on the wet floor, wasn't willing to push hard and risk slipping. It was actually my first time loading barrels, and found it quite easy, though the bigger kegs at North Englands may change that assessment.
Farmers hold was a piece of cake, stopped at 61s as it was 1s longer than anyone else had managed, and didn't see much point pushing on any further.
Stones were a bugger, out of practice on these, loading was easy, but getting them off the deck to my lap was a challenge, though the lack of tacky and stones being moist no doubt didn't make things any easier on my rusty technique.

Medley killed me last year, make sure you can hit that sled even when you're f**ked, other stuff will be relatively easy

Planning to compete around 130kg so the extra bw will help on sled, just need to get some practice in with duck walk and I should handle myself ok, though looks like a bloody tough field!

Squats

Not a bad session tonight, axle and press both felt fine, 8 reps on the axle is probably a default PB as I don't think I've ever pushed it beyond 5 before.
Speed squats were horrid, no 2 reps seemed to follow the same line, though there were a couple of good ones. This put me in a foul mood, so ditched them off and decided to do a final set of 10. That went very well, squats followed my line nicely, and it was so comfortable I even threw in an extra couple of reps for the PB. Very happy with the progress, I recall being very uncomfortable after a set of 10 at this weight last month, so good to see my fitness improving and the muscles getting more comfortable with rep work.

Strict log and paused squats on the cards for Wednesday night.
