Cheers mate. I'm only squatting right now, not risking anything, just want my hand healed. So far so good with Smolov jr. funny thing is it seems hard right before I do a session but easy after. | ||

Also glad to hear hand is on the mend! I think you're onto something there. Everything I read told me to be conservative with the training max that the workouts are based off. So with that in mind I went for a 200 max. The short story is I don't feel a thing and I need to jack up the weight when I increment next week. Hand is healing up nicely, just need to not be a dick, looks like I'm screwed. | ||

It was raining a little but quite refreshing. Squats 70kg x 5 reps 90kg x 5 reps 110kg x 5 reps 130kg x 5 reps 140kg x 3 reps 170kg x 3 reps --This could be a beltless PB but I'm not sure, maybe not, seems too low? --Belt On 170kg x 3 reps 170kg x 3 reps 170kg x 3 reps 170kg x 3 reps 170kg x 3 reps 170kg x 3 reps 170kg x 3 reps 170kg x 3 reps 170kg x 3 reps Adding a few more increments to my warm up sets was much better. Also I played with form tweaks a little on each set. I found that if I break at the hip I can't get as deep without loosing form. However if I break at the knee I can keep more upright and get much deeper while maintaining better form. Feels like breaking at the hip will be best for big weights and at the knee will be best for more ROM and leg power/size. I've also found my foot position is best in the 10:10 position. This allows my hips to open up and it's easier to force my knees to track over my feet. Ok today was borderline hard work. The top sets required effort and I was certainly aware of the bar on my back. Bar speed was still fast and only on the last one or two sets did it start to slow. On the whole I'm very happy with how this week has gone and if I can do the same next week with a less conservative increment I'll be over the moon. --EXTRA'S-- Not a sausage. | ||

my wood got all bloody Member 1001, 5711 posts SQ 240, BP 160, DL 272.5672.5 kgs @ 102.5kgs UnEq | After playing with the numbers a bit I've decided to just go nuts next week. That means a 15kg increment and gives Week 2 Mon 6x6 155kg Total 5,580kg Tues 7x5 165kg Total 5,775kg Thurs 8x4 175kg Total 5,600kg Fri 10x3 185kg Total 5,550kg Total for the week 22,505kg I'm not entirely sure which day I'm dreading most. Week 3 should prove just as fun but I'm only dealing with 1 week segments right now. | ||

Next week looks brutal lol! I like it! I'm almost tempted to try this for deads  | ||

Next week looks brutal lol! I like it! I'm almost tempted to try this for deads Thanks mate, it seemed to be the prefect time to tweak my form and kept things interesting as well. When you hit something that works it's crazy how different it feels. I'm hoping next weeks brutality will give me some soreness or at least slow me down. It's daunting as all hell so the chances are very high. Week 3 seems so horrifying I can't actually bring myself to look at it. That's right I'm scared of numbers in a spreadsheet. Doing deads in this style would just kill me but I'm sure you'd get on fine. In fact it's a little low on volume fore you. So do this Russian masters, 531 and DC all at the same time. | ||

Still had more in me at the end and no noticeable decrease in bar speed. I opted for a hybrid style squat today, tend to mix oly and hybrid styles, feel this gives me the best of both worlds. I'll check everyone else logs later. My sister had a baby yesterday and I'm on uncle duty with her other kids today. --EXTRA'S-- | ||

my wood got all bloody Member 1001, 5711 posts SQ 240, BP 160, DL 272.5672.5 kgs @ 102.5kgs UnEq | Thanks guys. The big increment was the right way to go, actually starting to feel hard now. Well today was the half way point and so far I'm glad I started down this path. My hand is healing up and functional again but I still get discomfort. When this cycle is finished I'll start adding back other lifts but will steer clear of anything that hurts. Strangely I think rowing and gripping may well be fine, it could be pressing that's out. Also I had a docs appointment about my breathing when I run. He did a peak flow test on me (at rest while I wasn't suffering any ill effects) and I registered a score of just over 400. The expected result was 680 so I'm well under where I should be. Turns out I do have unmanaged asthma and it could well be affected a whole bunch of stuff. Quite happy with my running now considering. Wonder if I'll see any form of performance increase once I start treatment? | ||
