Kept on the light side to see how elbow felt. Balance feels different, but once i got the hang of it on the first set it was fine.

Back Squat 531 Block2 Week1
60kg 2x5
80kg x5
100kg x5

Not as good as a couple of weeks back when i did an easy 130kg x10. In the future i may do a couple of sets at the prescribed weight with the squats instead of just 1. Will adapt to how i feel and go for a rep pb on 1 set, or a couple of sets of lower reps getting the work done. Again depending how i feel that day.

16.01.13 A very cold Junction Gym

40kg 2 sets of plenty

60kg x2

8.5 Foot Big Log
70kg x1
80kg x1
85kg 9 singles done in very quick time

JT Log

The smaller log feels so much easier after using the big log. I think using the big log is the way forward.

100kg x5
120kg x3 (belt on)

bas***dised 531 and decided to do a couple of sets at the top weight. Had these filmed and they looked very good.

Yoke
Frame x30m
130kg x30m
170kg x30m
220kg x15m
Weight was slipping, so put some chalk on back and got straight back in.
220kg x15m
200kg x30m
Better, but not as good as last week. Must remember to chalk up shoulders.

Barrell Loading Medley
80kg to 60"
105kg to 54"
125kg to 48" Fail
Tried 125kg again and could not lap it again. Will get this in time.

Stone Shouldering
85kg 2x2

Was hard to get motivated today as it was perishingly cold. But when i got moving did not have a bad one really considering.

Hams felt shaky and weak today. Not great but did a bit. Got a snappy 165kg x8 last week, so to go up by only 10kg and lose so much indicates an off day.

Speed deads
140kg 4 doubles

Hypers 3x10

Need to start getting more sleep as drinking and eating loads on a weekend, combined with a lack of sleep does not lead to good deadlifting on a Monday.

I do my speed work around the 140 kg mark as i can move this weight with plenty of snap after heavier sets. Any less seems light, and 150 would be too much. My problem with the heavier deads seem to be getting the things moving in the first place and i think my hamstrings are weak. So some weeks i do stiff legs and on others i do speed work. This combined with 531 for the top sets hopefully will see things going in the right direction. Or so i hope. I will be at the Junction tommorow at 1pm if you are about mate.

Not free on Saturday unfortunately mate. Never tried using bands on the deadlifts mate. Did have some at one point, but gave them to the oly lads. Hopefully doing GHRs, SLDLs and speed work will help my top sets. My speed off the floor with 140kg speed work is good and snappy i feel. Just need to bring everything together and pull something decent (220kg would be a start tbh). Mondays bad sesh was a one off as i was knackered from the weekend and had a stressful morning. I will try and do 531 for a while yet as iam sure the structure will work given time. Thinking about it now i also think taking my hands off the bar and totally resetting every rep during a set will help too. Read something by Dave Tate saying this can be beneficial when deadlifting. It would make sense doing deads this way as when i do reps the hardest reps are the first and last. Making every rep within a set a total dead start could well help with that initial pull. We shall see.
