More sled pulling fun. I say fun today because the grass was frozen witch made the sled feel light as air, and i didn't see a single person or have any anoying comments! Great! Managed 10 runs (5 foward,5backward) pulling must faster than i usually do and without retsting inbetween each run. Off to do grip training now.

Sunday 14/3/10 am, sled pulling. 6 runs again. Felt harder than yesterday. Feels like the edge of the sled keeps getting caught in the ground. May start doing it on concrete using a tyre, at least that way, it's always going to feel the same not like on grass were it may some days it can be easy if the gras is short,wet or icy, and other days it can be SOLID when the grass is dry, long or muddy.

Grip training. Lots of reps and sets with coc #1 and 1.5, nothing special. Did some plate pinching and 2" thick dumbbel deadlifts. Grip was s**te today.

Kroc rows
20kg x 10

Just one of those days where everything feels heavy.....
Weighted dips
B.W x 10
+20kg x 8
+32.5kg x 4
+45kg x 2
+62kg x 5x3 sets
Suprised i got all 3 sets of 5. Even the warmups felt heavy.

Incline dumbbell press
20kg x 10
42.5kg x 8x2 sets
42.5kg x 6
1 more rep than last week, i'll take that.

Lat flyes
5kg x 15x 3 sets
Felt much better with a lighter weight and strict form.

EZ bar skull crushers (bar weight not incl)
15kg x 8
30kg x 10
38.5kg x 6x2 sets

Finished with 1x20 leg raises.
Not the best ses today, felt batterd after the weighted dips, and just wanted to go to bed.

Saturday am, sled/car pulling/pushing
Made a new sled last week, using an old tyre,2 bags of sand and cement and an old dumbbel hanlde
[IMG]http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c373/MartinPrzybylak/heavysl...

Problem is that it's too heavy. Tried it this morning in a car park near my house and only managed 4 runs of about 70 metres. So i decided to push the car instead. Did about 7 or 8 runs pushing and pulling it, again aprox 70 metres and got a nice pump in my legs, and very out of breath! May have to do this again some time.
I'll make another sled this week using an other tyre, but a little lighter this time, and keep the heavy one for doing really heavy drags or arm over arm pulls.

Sunday 28/3/10
Bit of grip training. Lots of sets & reps with c.o.c's. Some plate pinching too. Nothing special.

Monday 29/3/10
3.5" defict deadlift
(hook grip, no belt)
60kg x 10
100kg x 6
150kg x 3
195kg x 1
(belt, alt grip)
212 x 5x2 sets
Not bad. Last rep of the last set was tough.

Squat
20kg x 10
60kg x 8
100kg x 5
140kg x 3
160kg x 1
180kg x 1
200kg x 0
140kg x 10
Sooooooo close on the 200kg attempt!! Not too botherd about not getting it though. It's the first time i've squatted heavy in a long time, it would have been a 7.5kg p.b if i had got it, and my back was pretty tired from the deadlifts. (so many excuses lol).
Pretty sure i can kill this weight off with a little more practice and some work on my form. Will most likely try it again in 3 or 4 weeks whilst i'm on my de-load and if i get it, will switch back to front squats and aim for 160kg x 1 and 200kg x 1 bottom posistion squat.

Weighted pullups (palms facing me)
B.W x 8
+15kg x 5
+25kg x 2
+40kg x 5x2
Harder than i thought they would be, and left it at that.

Feeling pretty sore today from the 200kg squat fail i'm assuming. Elbows and biceps ache too. Hopefully i'll feel better for tommorows push presses.
