 Member 4611, 630 posts SQ 160, BP 120, DL 210490.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq | 23rd August 2013 Squat: warmup sets then 3x5x115 very hard, accidentally paused 1 rep. had some weird knee pain which felt like it was the patellar tendon at the kneecap insertion-the opposite end to my old knee pain. Was only there for one set so was probably my knee tracking or other knee position issue. Overhead press: warmups then 70x2 didnt even get close to 3x5.. so did 60x5 then quit there. deload time to 60kg. I also have some slight elbow discomfort that feels like im compressing the elbow. sldl 3x5x60 first time doing these. slightly pulled a hamstring  semi sumo dl work with 60kg. focused on back positioning, seems like I tend to set up my back angle similar to conventional dl because if I drop my hips lower (to make my back more vertical) I feel weaker. Or perhaps I should just train with hips lower to be stronger? Overall a session riddled with minor injurys | ||

Member 4611, 630 posts SQ 160, BP 120, DL 210490.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq | 26th August 2013 Squats: warmups as usual 3x5x120 had my knee sleeves on today as I was getting a lot of knee pain the past few days. Paused the last rep accidentally because my body couldnt be arsed to move the weight. Overhead Press: warmup sets 3x5x62.5 last rep was a grinder but no elbow pain today. Deadlift: Doing all pulls semi-sumo (or sumo, im not quite sure of the difference, but my feet are fairly close) forgot my chalk. but dug out my old rugby socks to protect my delicate shins. still practicing technique so i did 60x8 100x6 faster than fast 120x5 twice took a break because I felt dizzy 140x5 160x5 (i say 5, it might have been 4 but I lost count and 5 is better. And I most definately would have got 5 if I had warmed up in my usual way) I got some knee pain when doing these and it might be because of not being over toes or something. Anyone get this or have suggestions to stop it? I tend to lean forward when it gets heavy, but im stronger when im more upright I think. Harder to round my back in any case, and no lower back pain, just pump. | ||

Member 4611, 630 posts SQ 160, BP 120, DL 210490.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq | oh and also squatting 120 was where my knee pain started last time and today there was none so this is all good news | ||

Member 4611, 630 posts SQ 160, BP 120, DL 210490.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq | I am sitting here counting down the weeks to my birthday for lack of anything better to do, and have come to the conclusion that if I add 5kg to my deadlift 5rm (160) every week then in 4 weeks I will have 180x5 and on the 5th week I will pull 200kg on my 20th birthday. Seems reasonable. | ||

Member 4611, 630 posts SQ 160, BP 120, DL 210490.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq | 28th August 2013 Squat: 1x8xbar 1x5x50 high bar paused 1x5x70 1x5x90 1x1x105 paused 3x5x125 felt heavy on my back but the reps were ok. Think I cut my usual depth on 1 or 2 reps but im well below parallel usually anyway so shouldnt be much of a problem. Bench Press: elbows were aching today so im thinking something is inflamed/not right so im laying off all pressing for a week to recover. Paused reps: 1x8xbar 1x5x60 1x3x80 3x3x90 90 would be a good opener for me, then 100, then 105 or 110 depending how I felt. I want to compete soon once my squat is better again. Chinups: 5xbw 10kg x 5,4,3(almost 4) | ||
