 my wood got all bloody Member 1001, 5711 posts SQ 240, BP 160, DL 272.5672.5 kgs @ 102.5kgs UnEq | Thursday 24th May 2018 Small one has another ear infection which is making his sleep a bit hit and miss. Poor little fella has had a perforated ear drum for over a year. Apparently it will heal at some point and surgery won't help. It generally doesn't bother him but does mean he's prone to infection. Sledgehammer Swings x 5 reps (Each Side) x 5 reps (Each Side) x 5 reps (Each Side) x 5 reps (Each Side) --Working on explosion so striking with venom every time. Band Rows x 25 reps x 25 reps x 25 reps A1 1xDB Rows 40kg x 10 reps (Each Side) 50kg x 10 reps (Each Side) 70kg x 5 reps (Each Side) 70kg x 5 reps (Each Side) 70kg x 5 reps (Each Side) A2 Z-Press bar x 10 reps --Near fell over backwards on the first rep lol 60kg x 5 reps --Oh wow these challenge my stability 60kg x 5 reps 60kg x 5 reps 60kg x 5 reps 60kg x 5 reps --I decided to just stick with this weight for now, I can always increase over the next few weeks. My first goal is to hit 80kg. Reverse Band Z-Press 90kg x 3 reps 110kg x 3 reps 120kg x 1 rep 140kg x nothing Ok good limits have been established. Adding the bands was a great idea if I do say so myself. The focus is to oveload lockout but since the bar leaves the bands it also provides a greater stability challenge then the press against bands I have been doing. It feels like 120kg will be a good working weight although I may stick with 110kg and try to increase the reps. I'll mull that over for the next session. | ||

Cheers mate, I did the DB version a few years back and it gave me big shoulder power. I just never really got around to doing it on a bar. Bizarrely my chest is killing me now. I think this could be very useful indeed. | ||

Is that a comon thing or just my own specific weaknesses? | ||

my wood got all bloody Member 1001, 5711 posts SQ 240, BP 160, DL 272.5672.5 kgs @ 102.5kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 25.05.2018 @ 12:34 PM by nails Friday 25th May 2018I have a pre-grading event on Sunday so keeping it light again today. I need to be recovered. It will be a looong day, 9:30 - 5. Band Rows x 25 reps x 25 reps x 25 reps Band Face Pulls x 25 reps x 25 reps EZ Curls 35kg x 10 reps 35kg x 10 reps 35kg x 10 reps Squat 70kg x 3 reps 120kg x 3 reps 160kg x 1 rep 200kg x 1 rep --Belt on 220kg x 1 rep 195kg x 5 reps --Tier 1 goals are now complete. Today I focused on my breathing, bracing and overall tightness. Its pretty much sucked. I've got some many things that I need to improve on. However the silver lining part is when it went right (well more or less) like in the 220kg rep, it made the lift feel super easy. More practice on stuff like this will mean more PB's. | ||

my wood got all bloody Member 1001, 5711 posts SQ 240, BP 160, DL 272.5672.5 kgs @ 102.5kgs UnEq | Tuesday 29th May 2018 Another truly epic KM weekend. I feel like I'm making progress and the October grading is certainly on the cards. I took a fair few wacks so i have a black eye today but I gave as good as I got so I feel happy with that. Side note; my shoves have come on almost comically. I went to give my training partner a little nudge backwards and he absolutely flew with the result of wiping out 2 other people. That was as much a shock to me as anyone else. I think my increased shoulder power is having some carry over. Band Rows x 25 reps x 25 reps x 25 reps Band Face Pulls x 25 reps x 25 reps A1 Trap Bar Rows bar x 10 reps 65kg x 10 reps 85kg x 10 reps 85kg x 10 reps A2 Dead press bar x 10 reps 60kg x 6 reps 70kg x 3 reps A3Kneeling Rollouts x 10 reps x 7 reps x 7 repx x 7 reps A4 Squats --Slight modification to form. Hands are narrower with the idea this will make my lats and upper back tighter. 70kg x 3 reps 120kg x 3 reps --Belt on. I want to practice bracing more and this means more belt work (for feeling) 160kg x 2 reps 200kg x 1 rep 230kg x 1 rep --A bit slow but otherwise felt great. --Reverse Bands on 230kg x 5 reps --PB by 2 reps. These tweaks feel very good. They have the effect of being more quad dominant and less lower back. I think because I tend to stay a little more upright. Either way they feel very good. I'll keep this and see how it goes. Quads destroyed though so had to call it a day. Ha what a woosey Dead Press --30 seconds rest between sets 80kg x 3 reps 80kg x 3 reps 80kg x 3 reps 80kg x 3 reps 80kg x 2 reps 80kg x 2 reps 80kg x 2 reps 80kg x 2 reps A bit of lunch time fun. | ||

Band Rows x 25 reps x 25 reps x 25 reps Band Face Pulls x 25 reps x 25 reps KB Swings 7.5kg x 30 reps --Swung with hate and anger Front Squat 70kg x 8 reps --Belt on 120kg x 3 reps --Reverse bands on 160kg x 5 reps --PB by 2 reps. Bracing hard against the belt made a big difference, easily had more in me. Deadlift --Hook Grip, Belt on 120kg x 3 reps 160kg x 3 reps 200kg x 1 rep 240kg x 1 rep --Reverse Bands on, Straps on, wider grip 300kg x 5 reps Done. I had a Doctor appointment this morning as these headaches have been going on for ages. I have something called Trigeminal neuralgia which basically means one of the nerves in my brain is under pressure which is caused server stabbing pain on the left side of mt forehead. Yay. I've got some meds now so lets see how it goes. | ||
