the UK's leading expert in bio mechanics Member 1973, 7379 posts | I think a combination of things has left me tired, rundown, lacking oomph and just basically flat: - No competitions until next year. - Been a long hard season for me, and didn't really have any down time last winter. - I made the ESM final, 3 years ahead of my plan. Ultimately that was as far as I thought I'd ever get in strongman, so I think I kind of got lost now, not sure where to go next. - I've trained through niggles all year without really ever letting them heal. I know I still want to do this, and I love the sport as much as ever. I sort of feel like I'm just waiting around to get going for next year to have a bigger and better season than this. I was planning on taking my foot off the gas for several weeks over Christmas and New Year, but I think the time has come to do it sooner rather than later. I'm putting it all down on here so I stick to it! I know I'll most likely lose some size and top end strength, but I've accepted that at least if I do it this way I can let my niggles heal and freshen my mind, rather than just slugging away as I am and losing size and strength anyway with no benefits. The plan is to do some 5s on the big 4 (sq, dl, bp and pp) no heavier, and 10s on everything else for several weeks. Just see how it goes really. Get some flexibility back. Maybe even some fitness. | ||

the UK's leading expert in bio mechanics Member 1973, 7379 posts | First post in a while. I've been training, but kind of just doing what I wanted, nothing too heavy or intense, taking it easy. I've been jiggling a programme around for a few weeks in my head, and decided to test one of the sessions today. Went rather well, so here's a sneak peek! Thursday 20/10/2011 Squat 60*5 100*3 140*1 180*1 Belt 220*1 Belt, wraps 260*1 Belt, wraps. Daily max 1@100% 235*3 Belt, wraps. 3@90% 207.5*5 Belt, wraps. 5@80% Deficit deadlifts (3") - Speed (60%1RM) 185*2 185*2 185*2 185*2 185*2 Front squats (75% 1RM wrapless) 120*5 120*5 120*5 All pretty good. Not going to go into the thinking, targets and numbers of it just yet. Still working things out, but just checking in with anyone who still wants to read this lol! | ||

the UK's leading expert in bio mechanics Member 1973, 7379 posts | Testing another session today, this time one of the pressing sessions. I moved my grip out for low bar squats yesterday to take some pressure off my elbow. Due to the width of the rack though I had to bring my hands in from the collars to lift off safely on the heaviest sets. No pain during the session so that's progress. Pressing today was a little niggly so yesterday obviously impacted a little on my elbows. Niggly however is infinitely bwtter than agony! It means that the new programme will now be press, lower body, rest. As opposed to the lower body, press, rest I had initially written. Low bar squats will only be once a fortnight anyway. But this is what testing is for! Friday 21/10/2011 Bench press (all paused) 60*5 60*5 100*3 120*1 130*1 140*1 150*1 Daily max. 1@100% 135*3 3@90% 120*5 5@80% Push press. 50%1RM + blue bands 75*2 75*2 75*2 75*2 75*2 Incline bench 75%1RM 112.5*5 112.5*5 112.5*5 This is all beginning to look like it will all fit together nicely. Whether it works or not is another matter, we'll see once I implement it properly! | ||
