has a pro grade bell Member 657, 720 posts SQ 162.5, BP 125, DL 207.5495.0 kgs @ 75kgs UnEq | Tonights training and seemed to lack a little "pizzazz"! Squats 60*10 60*5 60*5 90*5 90*5 100*5 115*5 130*2 130*2 130*2 130*2 130*2 Box Squats to below parallel focussing on speed 100kg *3 reps 100*3 100*3 100*3 100*3 Kettlebell Side bends 28kg * 15 L/R 32kg * 10 L/R 32kg * 10 L/R Job done. The 130's were not great, felt harder than it should have and think that last weeks thursday squat session was still taking a toll. Also seem to have a real tight spot in my right hand illio/saccral joint which seemed to throw my hips slightly when descencing and causing some tightness down my right spinal erector. Have had this before and am due a session with the physios accupunture needles so will get that sorted after my next and final heavy squat/dead session of this lifting cycle. | ||

has a pro grade bell Member 657, 720 posts SQ 162.5, BP 125, DL 207.5495.0 kgs @ 75kgs UnEq | Cheers gents, looking back fair bit of volume there which I like - don't feel too bad though after back to back heavy days. Boar - yeah the kb clean and jerk is a great move. Lower back, hammies, lats, traps, delta, tri's - hits em all! Got some double kb snatches lined up for later this week, recovery permitting. Has to be my current fave kb exercise! | ||

has a pro grade bell Member 657, 720 posts SQ 162.5, BP 125, DL 207.5495.0 kgs @ 75kgs UnEq | Hi boar, thanks for droppin in. Yep for the dynamic stuff double bells are the way forward I reckon. Probably best relevance for powerlifting too - ESP then double snatches. Did enjoy the windmills though - cracking exercise. | ||
