 what is everyone's fran time? Member 3986, 10443 posts SQ 340, BP 200, DL 400940.0 kgs @ 129kgs Eq | EllD90 said: You are right tbh, I've done it twice now and felt like absolute death after.

Member 4611, 630 posts SQ 160, BP 120, DL 210490.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq | 5th August 2013 Squats: (low bar unless stated otherwise) 1x8xbar 1x5x40 high bar 1x5x55 3x5x75 easy peasy. Overhead Press: 1x8xbar 1x5x40 1x3x55 3x5x62.5 bit of a grind Deadlift: warmups DOH 1x8x60 1x3x60 semi-sumo, these were fast and felt 'right' 1x3x100 semi-sumo also fine 1x3x140 first rep semi-sumo was weird and slow so changed to conventional 1x1x160 didnt chalk and was sweaty so bar almost slipped out work set 1x5x175 mixed grip + chalk + 6 second hold at end. grinded the last rep. | ||

Member 4611, 630 posts SQ 160, BP 120, DL 210490.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq | 7th August 2013 Squat: 1x6xbar 1x5x40 high bar 1x5x60 3x5x80 Bench Press: 1x8xbar 1x5x60 1x3x80 1x1x 90,95 paused 3x5x105... I was bro-spotted and I think this is more like 5,4,3. 'Its all you' when their fingers were all over it. Who knows. Maybe I did fail that last rep and then have a miraculous burst of strength before it fell on my chest... I will do 105 again next week to make sure. Chinups: 5xbw 3x5x 5kg. | ||

Member 4611, 630 posts SQ 160, BP 120, DL 210490.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq | 9th August 2013 Squat: warmup: 1x5xbar 1x5x40 high bar 1x5x60 paused 1x3x80 working sets: 3x5x85 felt it in my lower back. did some of these paused to stop & check depth. Overhead press: warmup: 1x8xbar 1x5x40 1x3x55 1x1x60 working sets: 65x5,4,4 didnt rest long enough between 1st & 2nd set. Power clean: Just practicing my triple extension as I'm uncoordinated. It's a lot better now. I did something like 3x5x40 hang-power clean from below knees and then 1x5x40 power clean. My warmup was just the triple extension movement with the bar for a bit. | ||

Member 4611, 630 posts SQ 160, BP 120, DL 210490.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq | 12th August 2013 Squats: warmup: 1x5xbar 1x6x40 high bar 1x5x60 1x3x80 working sets: 3x5x90 fine but slowing a bit Overhead Press: warmup: 1x8xbar 1x5x40 1x3x55 belt on 1x1x60 working sets: 67.5x 4(belt),3 (belt), 3(no belt) Having a belt on felt weird when pressing but thought I would try it as I tend to over extend my back and it hurts a bit. Deadlift: warmup: 1x8x60 1x5x100 semi sumo belt on 1x3x140 1x2x165 working sets: 1x5x177.5 again with a belt felt weird, I feel like im rounding my back more with the belt on but I have no pain and all the reps were fast. Could have got 8 probably. Is this normal? | ||

Member 4611, 630 posts SQ 160, BP 120, DL 210490.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq | 15th August 2013 Squat: warmup: 1x5xbar 1x5x40 high bar 1x5x60 weird knee pain 1x3x80 working sets: 3x5x95kg pain came and went and i think its to do with knees tracking too far out or something similar. Paused one of the reps to check my knee position. Bench Press: warmup: 1x8xbar 1x5x60 1x3x80 1x2x95kg paused working sets: 105x5,5,4 good spotters and no bro-ssistance this week. Chinups: warmup: 1x5xbw working sets: 3x5x7.5kg | ||

Member 4611, 630 posts SQ 160, BP 120, DL 210490.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq | 17th August 2013 Squat: warmup: 1x8xbar 1x8x40 high bar 1x5x60 1x3x80 working sets: 3x5x100 these were easy and fast and im happy to get into triple figures again. Overhead press: warmup: 1x8xbar 1x5x40 1x3x55 1x1x60 working sets: 67.5x5,4,3 really want to move up to 70. will see how I feel on monday. Power clean: warmup: 1x5xbar (from below knees) 1x5x40 same working sets: 2x3x60 felt good and were fast. setup has improved a lot and second pull is fast. wanted to do some semi-sumo deadlift practice so left 60kg on and just practiced with that. worked out my most comfortable foot position, im not sure what angle my back should be at though. I tend to finish the lift with my lower back a lot. | ||

'There was also a sausage in my mouth.' Member 2477, 16481 posts SQ 190, BP 130, DL 235555.0 kgs @ 83kgs UnEq | you are right to experiment with foot positioning. you will also have to experiment with pack positioning though. I tend to round my upper back but keep my lower back not rounded | ||

Member 4611, 630 posts SQ 160, BP 120, DL 210490.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq | 19th August 2013 Squats: 1x5xbar 1x5x40 high bar 1x5x60 1x5x85 3x5x105 low bar but it seems i can almost reach the same depth as high bar. Overhead Press: after hurting my wrist/elbow whilst resting from squats (I wasn't messing around I swear) I thought my pressing might suffer today. 1x8xbar 1x5x40 1x3x55 belt on 1x2x60 70x4 (pb) ,4,2 was very psyched for the 2nd and 3rd sets but was on a time limit today so rests were shorter. 70x5 soon Deadlift: 1x8x60 1x5x100 semi sumo 1x3x140 belt on 1x2x160 180xfail - dont know how this happened but tried it twice and it wouldnt move. someone had superglued this to the floor im sure. 160x3 semi sumo just to get something productive done. I am going to switch to semi sumo however this means going back to 160 again! in other news I have hopes of a 75kg strict press, and 200 deadlift by my birthday (30th september) and so hopefully my birthday deadlifts will be super awesome. | ||

Member 4611, 630 posts SQ 160, BP 120, DL 210490.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq | 21st August 2013 Squat: warmups usual weights really. some paused sets with 1 set being high bar as per usual. then 3x5x110 bar speed slowing now but managed the reps comfortably. knee pain is gone but still conscious that it could come back. Im just icing on occasion now. Still stretching lots. Bench Press: warmups and 90&97.5 paused. then 107.5x 4,2,fail. not ideal and my elbow is aching a little. Chinups: bwx5 then 10kg x 5,4,2 | ||
