 conventional all the way ! Member 1980, 1201 posts SQ 217.5, BP 137.5, DL 255610.0 kgs @ 98kgs UnEq | manic manic manic - jesus, I sound like a broken record. Uni coursework is kicking my ass right now. Anyway, short and sharp tonight but got the basic in: Squat w/belt[x4 @9.5]: 150kg @7.5/8 170kg @9 175kg @9.5 165kg @9 Touch and go press[x3 @8.5]: 110kg @7.5/8 120kg @8/8.5 125kg @8.5/9 117kg @8.5 Close grip to 3 board[x5 @9]: 110kg @7.5 125kg @8/8.5 132kg @9 125kg @8.5 Squats moved pretty well until the 175 - felt a little unsteady on these, but the bar moved ok in the end - weith a little more rest, Id have gotten another set at 165...good. Benching moved pretty well - the 125 was borderline for the 8.5, pretty happy with the close grips, with more practice, they could rocket. | ||

| Adam_F | | Tendonitis update | 15-01-2013 @ 20:46 |
conventional all the way ! Member 1980, 1201 posts SQ 217.5, BP 137.5, DL 255610.0 kgs @ 98kgs UnEq | Soooo started my treatment tonight for my knee 'tendonopothy' - and that is the injury, confirmed by MRI - with the tendonitis being present on the quad tendon and some mild inflammation on the patella also. I am starting out with a series of treatments, based on 'shockwave' therapy - like a high powered ultra-sound. Apparently it started out as a treatment for kidney stones! The high powered vibrations sending the pulse through the body...it has now been used successfully on tendon injuries... Seems like I have stumbled on to a decent physio place, we discussed other treatments to clear this up - if the 4-5 sessions dont work, we will look at PRP injections... | ||

conventional all the way ! Member 1980, 1201 posts SQ 217.5, BP 137.5, DL 255610.0 kgs @ 98kgs UnEq | brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr its brass monkeys over here - t'was -6 at my home this morning, but significantly warmer in my hotel room right now  Anyway, finally managed to find somewhere to train whilst I am down in London...haha only been coming here for a year now...anyway, after a bit of a protracted journey, I got down to training:Comp bench[x4 @9.5]: 115kg @8 120kg @9 122.5kg @9.5 (x3) 115kg @8.5, 9.5 Failed the 4th on my heaviest set! first failed rep in months (other than in competition)...I am putting it down to a different set-up..pressing just was off slightly today, it was also pointed out to me that I wasn't really gripping the bar so to speak, just resting it in my hand - something to remember! Deadlift w/belt[x4 @9.5]: 180kg @7.5/8 200kg @8 220kg @9/9.5 215kg @9 200kg @9/9.5 Very happy with the pulls tonight, even if I can't add up - to used to using the 25s at home...and added up wrong - thought I'd hit 230 not 220!! D'Oh - I think 225 was there if I'd hit that rather than 220, still - it was a PB at any rate. POR Incline [x5 @9]: 85kg @7.5/8 100kg @8.5 105kg @9 95kg @8 95kg @9 Well at least this was better than my first benching movement! SSBs dropped from tonight - I had my first treatment for knee/ quad tendonitis yesterday and my knee is a little sore, plus I am out of time...I have an essay to finish tonight, ready for the morning, just like the good old days. NOT. | ||

What are you aiming for in the Feb Comp, assuming you are still doing it? Thanks Bill ! I am indeed, signed up and renewed my GBPF membership a couple weeks back. I think I am aiming for 610+ - I felt like I left quite a lot on the platform in Nov, so I am just going to go all out and see where I end up! My targets are 210/140/260 - 610...we shall see! | ||

conventional all the way ! Member 1980, 1201 posts SQ 217.5, BP 137.5, DL 255610.0 kgs @ 98kgs UnEq | Continued my training whilst down in London, making a refreshing change - be even better if I could get the right train or one that isn't re-directed!!! Ended up having to run nearly 2 miles to the gym..not ideal in the snow in chucks haha Anyway on to the session: Pin squat[x2 @9]: 140kg @8 160kg @8.5 170kg @9 160kg @8/8.5 155kg @9 RDL[x5 @9]: 140kg @7.5/8 160kg @8 175kg @9 165kg @9 1 board press[x2 @9]: 120kg @7.5/8 130kg @8 140kg @8.5 (only for 1 - failed second!!) 135kg @8.5 130kg @8.5 SSB[x4 @9]: 110kg @8 120kg @8.5 115kg @8.5 Overall a pretty good session - legs and lower back were a little pumped pre squatting, but hey-ho. I must just struggle with the different bench at this place...never mind! Looking forward to going home now! | ||

conventional all the way ! Member 1980, 1201 posts SQ 217.5, BP 137.5, DL 255610.0 kgs @ 98kgs UnEq | so it seems most of the uk is on shut down with the snow - at least there is a good 6-8" in Coventry...so time for a snow day, amirite? Feeling a little beat up today for whatever reason, so spent a little longer rolling and loosening up - sports massage required at the weekend! Anyway, graft: Squat w/belt[x2 @9]: 170kg @8 180kg @8.5 190kg @9 175kg @8 175kg @8.5/9 170kg @9 Touch and go press[x2 @9]: 120kg @8 130kg @8.5 125kg @8 125kg @8.5 close grip to 3 board[x7 @9]: 120kg @8 130kg @8 135kg @8.5 140kg x4 @9 130kg @9 KB row - 3x12 @40kg Ab wheel - 3x10 @BW Overall reasonably good session - PB on the squats - both for top weight and overall volume! Form broke down quite a bit on the 190, so got some solid work in on the down sets. Bench, meh - did all of these sets with a belt - which seemed to help. I just a little tired in the chest/ shoulder region for whatever reason. These just aren't progressing as I'd like... LOL at the 140 close grips - smashed x4..looked good for 10 or - failed the next rep! haha | ||

conventional all the way ! Member 1980, 1201 posts SQ 217.5, BP 137.5, DL 255610.0 kgs @ 98kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 22.01.2013 @ 10:52 AM by Adam_F I was looking through my bench numbers - and they seem to be pretty damn static. I looked back at when I got my bench from a very poor 120ish - to a comfortable 130 - and them main theme from that was a f**kton of back work.Soooo I think I am going to add back heavier rows and some more chins, something that I have dropped over the past 4-5 months.. Could help get this thing moving again - my dead and squat are progressing nicely, just need the bench to do the same! Also my BW is pretty steady at 101-102ish depending on the day and meals eaten the day before. I would like to drop a bit of fat still though, I am going to continue with my IF approach but perhaps tweak a few things and be a bit more regimented in my approach. | ||

Member 1980, 1201 posts SQ 217.5, BP 137.5, DL 255610.0 kgs @ 98kgs UnEq | Back down at physique fitness: Comp bench[x2 @8.5]: 110kg @7.5 120kg @8 130kg @8.5 125kg @8/8.5 120kg @8, 8.5 Deadlift w/belt[x2 @9]: 200kg @7.5 220kg @8 240kg @9 *PB* 230kg @9 DB press[x7 @9]: 42.5kg @8 50kg @8.5/9 50kg @9 42.5kg @9 Lunges[x5 @9]: 80kg @8 90kg @9 70kg @8.5 Pretty solid session. Comp bench was better on the more comfortable bench - would have been better with a spotter for a lift in, never mind. See where I get to next week! Deadlifts moved well, was spent for the down sets though. Got some graft in on the accessory stuff.. | ||
