In and out session, never got time to do assistance!

Box Sq
10 x 2 - 82.5kg

10 x 2 110kg
- Pretty comfused about these as i can pull my deficit much smoother and quicker than my convention DL at the same weight ? :s

Does anybody have an idea whats going on? I will try and get a video up to show what I mean.


Saturday 6/11/10 DE Upper

Monday 08/11/10 ME Lower

Rack Pulls -> 1RM
70x5
110x5
130x5
150x5
170x5
190x3
205x1

Stopped here as I was slower than an OAP driver. I was also going bright red and noticed i had caused my eyes to go bloodshot. Does anyone else get the problem when they deadlift that they burst blood vessels in their face. If so have they found a good way to stop it? Stop holding the pressure ?

Stiff Leg DLs
3x12 - 70,80,90kg

45 deg ext - 3 x 15 - BW

Ab Pulldowns
5 x 15, last 5 settings on stack


Then i done three rounds off the following complex

6 stiff leg,
Clean -> Front Squat -> Overhead press x 6
6 Rev lunges each side.

I used 30kg and was properly dying.

I need to get my fitness up as I have got a wee bit too fat for my liking.!

Too true. I think I need to stop doing boxes for a while, I noticed on the work up sets I was loosing my tightness in the hole.

EDIT: Just as I posted this, I noticed how wrong my last sentence sounded. However, there is no other way to rephrase it :P
