Aiming for a 250 squat by the end of 2012 Member 1989, 3168 posts SQ 240, BP 140, DL 270 650.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq	The actual weight isn't a problem when pressing. After a certain number of reps my right forearm feels like something is torn inside. But this only happens when pressing a bar or axle. Can't seem to recover from it, really ought to get it looked at

I don't think I've met Chaos, so unless I've caught it from one of his pissed up posts I don't think its arm aids. As for the breathing thing I do that on log usually and end up making a complete mess of it. We're men, apparently we can't multi task so lifting and breathing at the same time is impossible for us.

Aiming for a 250 squat by the end of 2012 Member 1989, 3168 posts SQ 240, BP 140, DL 270 650.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq	Tues 6/11/12 Felt like crap and wasn't even going to train but my mate came round again so decided to do some log. Shoulder warm ups Strict Log 85x3 90x2 Boo yah, BW strict on log. Rep PB Log Push press 92.5x1 95x2 100x1 105xf very close, couldn't press it out. 85x lots tech work. tricep pushdowns Working up to 55x5 x3 Really happy with that considering I wasn't even going to train. First time getting 100 on this log, felt good.

Aiming for a 250 squat by the end of 2012 Member 1989, 3168 posts SQ 240, BP 140, DL 270 650.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq	Weds 7/11/12 Deadlift Coan week 7 70x10 120x8 160x6 200x3 247.5x2 Speed deads 207.5x3 x3 Power Shrugs 185x5 185x5 SLDL 190x5 x2 Think thats some sort of rep PB Bent over rows 120x5 x2 GHR 5x2 +50kg Not bad considering I'm still full of cold and low on energy. Strangely the 200 warm ups felt really heavy but the top set felt easier. On to next week and hopefully a Pb double.

embarrasingly poor bench Member 2684, 4043 posts SQ 240, BP 135, DL 275 650.0 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq	Coan is looking good mate, weeks 8, 9 and 10 are when the fun stuff begins.

Aiming for a 250 squat by the end of 2012 Member 1989, 3168 posts SQ 240, BP 140, DL 270 650.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq	Friday 9/11/12 Squats 70x10 120x10 160x6 200 x3 x3 200x1 +1f Wasn't totally happy with the depth so tried for another set. 1st rep was good and deep, went for a second, dropped too deep lost the rebound so couldn't pop out of the hole and had to dump on to the pins. 160 x3 x4 speed reps 160x5 Felt too easy, go up to 170 next week. Bench 70x10 90x10 100x8 125x3 125x3 130x2 really scrappy slow reps. CGBP 80x10 shoulders didn't feel good 80x8 Had to stop. Rowing machine 1km Dragon Flags x10 Close pull ups x10 Leg raises x10 Decline press ups x10 Leg raises x10 Done.Pretty good again, had to squat in wraps today the old knees were feeling a bit dodgy today. Should have stuck to the plan and just done the 3x3 top set, same with bench. Should have stayed at 125 3x3 but the ego took over and ended up with 2 crappy reps at 130.

Aiming for a 250 squat by the end of 2012 Member 1989, 3168 posts SQ 240, BP 140, DL 270 650.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq	Monday 12/11/12 Got a couple of days off to look after the kids because 13 weeks a year holiday isn't enough for a teacher, they need 'in service' days too! Rant over. Was going to do some front squats but my hips are really sore. Strict Press 40x6 50x6 60x6 70x6 80x3 Harder than it should have been Push press 85x3 90x3 95x3 100x1 105x1 equal PB 110xf epic fail. Log 85 x lots, trying different techniques. Found split jerk was good for singles but too explosive for reps as it takes too much energy but is quick and feels lighter on the shoulders. Not too bad. Heaviest I've been on the push pressing for months. The stricts felt heavier than they should. Forearm still a bit sore but a lot better than it has been.

embarrasingly poor bench Member 2684, 4043 posts SQ 240, BP 135, DL 275 650.0 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq	Solid overhead work mate. As fr as split jerks on the log you very rarely see people who are able to split jerk max weights on the log consistently, I certainly find it very hit and miss on log and a power jerk is far more consistent in my experience once I get up to the bgger weights. Great for axle and bar though if you can perfect the technique.

I just thought I'd try split jerks after seeing General do it as bsm u90 and also the vid of the guy doing 150 at the log championships. Don't think I've got the balls to do it heavy it takes serious commitment! The overhead work is still pretty mediocre and nowhere near where it needs to be compared to everything else if I'm going to make a serious challenge at winning anything next year.

General is very consistant at the split jerk logs - he does it a lot if you watch his vids regulary mate. Nice strict and push presses

I might try having a session every week just working on log tech and not worrying about the weight. The other stuff was ok but at least I can actually strict and push press somewhere near I could before my arm got all snapped up.
