Should be fun. Random training this week, then a week in India, then a week in Spain, then actual training.....8 week block to bench more!! Also new shirt gets delivered tomorrow. Fresh from the US of A. Should be a great experience.

The back is mixed - it is tight and sore. But at the moment it is trainable and manageable. Just. I hope that increased training will help rebalance some muscles and not cause it to get worse. Who knows, I will persevere with very high belted sumo deads for a while and see if I can get towards something respectable. Bigger man you say? I cant remember what this may relate to

Thanks mate - ah yes I seen now from his journal. My grip is terrible, but have still yet to deadlift anything that causes it any problems....that may say more about my deadlifting though. Looks like I may need to actually try on my next top set of Kroc rows

#IStandByMillsy Member 4287, 2614 posts SQ 300, BP 310, DL 250 860.0 kgs @ 120kgs Eq	New shirt arrived so third heavy bench session in four days seemed like a good idea Bench 6010 1006 1303 1501 Slingshot 1703 Scoop neck SK shirt 1803 in air 2003 in air 2201 75mm board 2201 55mm board 232.50.99 55mm board just needed a light tap to lock left arm. Ended up a bit over head and just couldn't grind it. 2001 55mm board. Close grip bench 10010,10,10 Triceps absolutely dead. Arms feel deeply bruised. Also re racked 220kg with my knuckle flesh pinched between bar and rack. OUCHEY. New shirt seems decent. Not ultra tight but feels good.
