Member 1384, 483 posts SQ 210, BP 140, DL 275625.0 kgs @ 97kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 14.12.2010 @ 12:53 PM by likesadeadkf Would be chuffed with 260-270 and think its a realistic goal after a few more weeks.Military Press Bar x loads 40kgs x 5 50kgs x 5 60kgs x 1 70kgs x 1 80kgs x 1 PB Bench 60kgs x 5 60kgs x 5 80kgs x 5 100kgs x 3 110kgs x 3 120kgs x 2 (failed the 3rd) 100kgs x 3 100kgs x 3 100kgs x 3 Tricep Pushdowns Cant really remember the weights on these. Did quite a few sets with differet weights ranging from 25ish to the stack. Pullups Bodyweight x 10 BW + 16kgs x 5 BW + 16kgs x 5 BW + 16kgs x 5 Machine Row 80kgs x 10 80kgs x 10 80kgs x 10 Today was quite a good one. Wanted to get a PB on the military press and there was someone using the bench so did that first today. Then hoped to get 120kgs for 3 reps on bench but it wasnt there today. Havent done any specific tricep work in a while so just did some pushdowns. Pleased with how things went today and really enjoying bench at the minute. | ||

Member 1384, 483 posts SQ 210, BP 140, DL 275625.0 kgs @ 97kgs UnEq | Went to the palace today and thought id have a go with knee wraps that ive had for a while but only ever used once. Squats Bar x loads 50kgs x 8 70kgs x 5 100kgs x 5 120kgs x 3 (belt on) 140kgs x 3 160kgs x 1 (wraps on - bit high i was told) 180kgs x 1 (told again was high but better) 200kgs x 1 - PB (depth was good and was an easy rep - more to come) 120kgs x 3 120kgs x 5 120kgs x 3 The 200kgs was this most weight ive ever squatted and felt easy enough so im sure i could do a bit more. Think ive tweaked my calf a little from the wraps but very please with how today went. | ||

Yeh i did notice the belt dug in a bit when doing them after a few weeks of beltless deficits. My belts only a 10mm and its quite flexible so not sure if thats why it doesnt cause me too many problems but i have the belt as tight as i normally do and just make sure i set the buckle in the right place and am fine with them. With thicker stiffer belts it might be different. Im just guessing but you could mibi try approaching the bar in the same way you would in a suit ie straight legs and bent over to get your hands on the bar and then see if you can get into position from there without too much pain. I did them beltless aswell for the first few weeks of the cycle so you could always try that. Hope that helps  | ||

Haha yeh im not a fan of pain while lifting either. Knee wraps are as far down the equipment ladder i think ill go due to the pain haha. Good luck with the deficits. You not thought about starting a log? | ||

Gets the lungs going when swinging for any significant time. Did the sets of swings one after the other and was messing about mainly so this was roughly what i did. The snatches need a bit of work but were getting gradually better as i went on. At the start i kept smashing it into my forearms on the catch. Video'd some snatches and swings to have a look at techinque. Any comments/advice welcomed as im a noob at this stuff. Snatches Swings | ||
