 has spent time in a modern educational setting Member 47, 1221 posts | I've got a few injuries due to a 'careless prick' fall down some stairs (on Thursday) so I just did some deadlifting today. warmups then... 205kg X 8 This was quite painful, especially as my body is a bit 'jarred' from the aforementioned fall. At least I didn't hitch any reps. Along with no hitching, my other (self-imposed) rule is that any 'set' can't involve my hands leaving the bar. I stuck to that 'rule' too. | ||

has spent time in a modern educational setting Member 47, 1221 posts | 15/01/13 Deadlifts warmups then... 210kg X 6 (in hindsight, I could have probably completed eight good reps but - as my 'pre-set' target was 6 - left it there. It would have simply changed the set from 'challenging' to 'hard as f**k'. So, eight, next time.  )Push Press bar X 5 - 3 sets 60kg X 3 - 3 sets (OK, it was a VERY light weight but I was going for very snappy lifts. Mission accomplished!) 70kg X 2 - still very snappy 80kg X 2 - slowing down but part of the buildup to 'semi-respectable' weights 90kg X 1 95kg X 3, f4 95kg X 3 I'm aiming for 100kg X 5 by the end of February Yeah, I STILL need to squat. Give me time!  | ||

 Has little understanding of the sugden Member 677, 11338 posts SQ 165, BP 125, DL 220510.0 kgs @ 80kgs UnEq | Looks like the deadlifting is coming along nicely. What were your numbers when you were lifting more regularly and what comps have you done? Cheers and good luck with your journey to a 300kg deadlift.  | ||

What were your numbers when you were lifting more regularly and what comps have you done? My static numbers have never been anything worth boasting about. I was better at moving events (farmers, loading, truck pulling). I've not competed since 2009 but I did a few u105kg comps around that time and a few 'bits and bobs' (a few years) before that. Cheers and good luck with your journey to a 300kg deadlift. Thanks, Pete! | ||

has spent time in a modern educational setting Member 47, 1221 posts | Post Edited: 20.01.2013 @ 08:29 AM by Pete To the few that follow this journal, I thought that I'd explain why it seems like I've (already) 'fallen off the wagon'.My 'right' AC joint is agony at the moment. I've been unable to train since Tuesday - which is pissing me off as I thought that I was doing 'OK'. I'll give it a few more days otherwise I'll have to resign myself to leg pressing for a while as the nature of the pain would affect pressing, deadlifting, squatting, rows, 'everything' (lying in bed is painful enough). Seriously pissed off!  | ||

has spent time in a modern educational setting Member 47, 1221 posts | 25/01/13 The injury is feeling quite a bit better but it's still too uncomfortable for pressing so I just did some deadlifts and then some 'conditioning' work with some of the gym's Powerbag-type bags. Deadlift Warmups then... 210kg X 8 - the first 7 reps were quick (they probably took a total of 20-25 seconds even though, of course, each one started from a dead stop). The eighth rep was completed after a 'rest' (whilst still holding the bar) of about 4-5 seconds. Conditioning Nothing that was particularly noteworthy. | ||

Deadlift warmups then... 220kg X 5 Push Press warmups then... speed/power work with low weights then... 95kg X 4 95kg X 4 The shoulder is now 'agony' but... | ||

has spent time in a modern educational setting Member 47, 1221 posts | Training for the first time since last Tuesday - not good enough. I've done ridiculous amounts of rehab on my shoulder and it's feeling much better - without being perfect. I went with the same boring 'routine' but, due to tonight's plateau/regression, it looks like I might now need to be a bit more creative. I started with lots of rehab/prehab for both shoulders. Deadlift warmups then... 220kg X 5 (same as last week) Push Press warmups then... 95kg X 2, f3, f3 - it was a really strange set as the first rep felt like pressing an empty bar, the 2nd one drifted too far forward and my two attempts at the third rep should both have been finished - but weren't .95kg X 2, f3 - s**t | ||

has spent time in a modern educational setting Member 47, 1221 posts | My commitment to training has been a joke for a few weeks now. I've been busy at work but that's no excuse. 12th Feb Clean and Push Press Warmups then... 90kg x 5 90kg x5 90kg x 5 95kg x 4 That's it! | ||
