Looking forward to seeing how you get on at St. Ives. Nice session check St Ives I may well be absolutely wank... But that goes for everybody I guess I'm not confident at all about my performance but it has an axle in it so maybe I will be ok on that I said last year I wanted to do it and I'm continuing that commitment | ||

I have a pressing day nailed on I think, so to do the same with squats and pulling would be marvelous Still you can't have everything I hope your lifting is going well, from your avatar I can tell you'll do well  | ||

I did some hammer curls today... Just a few to help them along before Saturday and now they both hurt, moreso the left again Marvelous | ||

Not so much as forgotten as can't remember Member 894, 4924 posts SQ 245, BP 167.5, DL 272.5685.0 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq | Wednesday 28th September 2011 Squats and lower body (ambitious I know!) Always a gamble when your backs cabbagged, but after today I think it's on the mend and maybe I can put it behind me Lol yeah right optimistic t**t Back squats( paused for 5 seconds to make them harder without adding weight on my squashed column ) 70x1 120x1 Then loaded 170kg and after chatting with Tom had an idea that paused front squatting may be an even better idea Ok Paused front squats 170x1 185x1 And without pain too... so I'm sticking with these before I start worrying about losing leg strength due to no squatting A 200kg paused fronty is a good aim Deadlift (Hooke grip) 70x1 120x1 170x1 220x1 240x1 easy enough Hypers 1x30 Then carried on with some other stuff lower body orientated Calve raises 50x30 90x30 110x30 Leg press 1 set of ten just for a laugh with all the weight ste hinds had on, nearly burst a blood vessel lol 3x15 with 6 plates on ( will stick with this as the reps really helped my hip too aswell as my knees and quad strengthening. Winner ) Leg extension 57.5(3x20) Dumbbell hammer curls 18x20 Glute Long hold stretches to fin I have to rest now as I'm playing strongman on Saturday | ||

 Has little understanding of the sugden Member 677, 11338 posts SQ 165, BP 125, DL 220510.0 kgs @ 80kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 29.09.2011 @ 10:28 AM by PeteHodgson mikehowarth said: They've all gone now buddy and I feel brand new again pressing thankfully Oh yeah and Bodyweight today was 102.8kg in the morning so that on the increase too Good to hear your niggles are sorted, nice bodyweight too! oo, nice fronts too, and an easy 240 deadlift is cool, I want one of those too. I've just started putting some leg presses in too, hoping it may help deadlift off the floor? maybe... | ||

Lol Joni assuming the worst, I injured them not long ago so improvement will complete within a month My biceps are more flexible than yours which are BRITTLE! I pulled them quite badly during that comp you couldn't get a day pass for is all As it is I'm keeping tabs on how they react to training Stretching them now after the trauma would probably be the worse thing I could do to aggravate the damage I'm only mildly bothered because if I snag them again doing the 90kg weights at cheshires then it could affect my overall placing We will see | ||

The leg presses have made my back and hips feel better I feel after just getting up to go and have a poo I will do them often, as well as max poos For deadlift off the floor do stiff legged deadlift Any squats stops be wasting away so I'm very pleased New bodyweight is exactly what I've been aiming for for a good while so I'm pleased to be finally adding... My daily shake is doing me well that's my opinion | ||
