Cheers John.

Don't think it's too bad mark, just a wee bit of a strain, hoping it'll be fine. No worries about tomorrow, I'm sure ill catch up with you at ssm if not before.

Up by Banff at MJ training with Carl (tun) tonight, trying to get some stone practice in before ssm.

Stones:

Tackyless

100kg to 60" x 2 or 3 singles, one motion
120kg to 54" x 2 singles, one motion
132kg to 54" (I think, might have been 48") x 2 singles, one motion

Tacky on now

145kg to 48" x 2 singles
160kg to 48" x 1

Run of 100kg to 60", 120kg to 54", 132kg to 48", 145kg to 44" and failed 160kg. Arms were a bit sweaty and tape slipped down my arms so couldn't get it lapped.

Strict log:

50kg x 10
62.5kg x 6
70kg x 5
77.5kg x a set of 4 and a set of 2

Conans circle:

150kg x a few revolutions, just for fun and a bit of cardio.

Happy with the stones an it was a good wee confidence booster ahead of ssm, although I appear to have a sticking point in the middle of the rep, once I get past it the rest of the lift is easy enough. Got a couple of videos that I'll stick on later.

Thanks chaps, always a pleasure training up with you guys Carl.

Quick video of the stones, as you can see in the video I seem to have a sticking point in the middle and stall a bit before getting it moving again. Not sure of the cause, any suggestions appreciated.

Still sore after mondays stones and nightshift this week and really not feeling very motivated for my deadlift session tonight. However went in anyway and tried to get a bit of work in.

Deadlift:

Worked up to a few sets of 3 with 260kg in in the suit. Not great.

Then did a mixture of trap bar and farmers fram holds, both with and without straps

also did a variety of other grip stuff.

Finished off with some sandbag carries with the 125kg bag.

Pretty poor session, got some work in though.

My grip is somewhat improved davy although it is still pretty s**t. Haven't heard yet if the hold at ssm is with or without straps so just training a bit of both.

I am looking forward to ssm, my preparation in the leadoup to the comp hasn't been ideal, only getting a week to train the events, but equally as a late replacement who is considerably lighter than most of the other guys in the comp there is no real expectation on me as far as doing well on the day. It is quite nice as it means I can jist go down and enjoy myself with no real pressure, still hoping I'll manage to hold my own in some of my better events though.

Some pressing tonight.

Log pushpress:

85kg x 2 sets of 5
95kg x 2 sets of 3
100kg x 3 sets of 3
105kg x 1, equal pb I think

Seated military press:

70kg x 4 sets of 5

Finished off with some rear delt stuff and some triceps.

Decent wee session.

Last session before ssm tonight. Still feeling rough from the drinking antics at the weekend and horribly sunburnt from a day on the beach on sunday however managed to get a quick session in.

Deadlift:

Worked up to 220kg x 2 singles

Paused Bench:

Worked up to 80kg x 3 sets of 5

Biceps x some

Heaps of foam rolling and stretching. Back is quite sore at the minute, not sure why but don't think a drunken sleep on a sofa on saturday night helped matters any. Not feeling overly well prepared for Saturday but have nothing to lose so might as well just go down and enjoy myself, not going to worry what others do on the day and will just concentrate on my own lifting as I've got a few targets of what I am hoping to do in some events. Nothing left to do now bit rest and eat for the rest of the week.

Cheers John.

Finally home after SSM today. Fairly disappointing performance from myself as I underperformed a bit on several events ending up in 11th place, however it was a great experience and good to meet Glenn Ross.

I'll do a proper write up and put the video on tomorrow.
