435.0 kgs @ 83kgs UnEq		Nice to see a log mate. Get down the gym to do some logging with your namesake, if you can put 100kg overhead there is more to be had on the log than 80kg.

775.0 kgs @ 127kgs UnEq		Thursday 14th July

Bit of gym work today. Only a basic place with machines and dumbells to 30kg. Decided to do some legs increasing the weight on each set.

Leg press
4 x 12 reps

Leg extensions
4 x 12 reps

Leg curls
2 x 12 reps - hamstrings started cramping so called it a day

Cardio - swimming for 15 mins

775.0 kgs @ 127kgs UnEq		Monday 18th July

Deadlift
70kg x 6
110kg x 4
150kg x 4
190kg x 4
210kg x 2 (came off the ground easy)
240kg x f (got it to knee height)
230kg x f

Farmers - pick up and hold
60kg
100kg x 4reps

Bit annoyed after against my better judgement chasing the numbers on the deadlift. After getting the 210kg and it feeling reletively easy i jumped up too far. Lesson learnt - small increases all the time!

Cheers Matt.

I videoed my lifts yesterday and i dont think im getting my ass low enough to start the lift so im going to try and rectify this.

With the 240kg attempt, it came upto about knee height relatively easy but it wasnt moving above that. Do you reckon deadlifts from height would be good to help this?

435.0 kgs @ 83kgs UnEq		Probably broke it off the floor by "backing it", and by this i mean you probably had your hips shoot up and that's why it flew off the floor, this would also have meant you (probably) would have lost thoracic extension, ie. your upper back would have rounded and your shoulders rounded forward, meaning when you got past your knee for lockout you had to go from a flexed upper spine to an extended upper spine, which under that much load is f**king difficult. The pay off for quick off the floor is usually a hard lockout and vice versa if you use leg drive off the floor.

Don't forget how much it has improved in s short space of time though mate and you are lighter, so it is pretty impressive.
