![]() Chris 'The Magician' Melling Member 1443, 978 posts SQ 270, BP 180, DL 320770.0 kgs @ 135kgs UnEq | 7/1/2013 Deadlifts First deads session since pb ,plan was to hit 80/85/90 percent of 1rm for 4/3/2 reps respectively to maintain strength from the floor and then go on to 18" rack pulls as the first event in this years Welsh is silver dollar for max. Deads from floor 10 mins warmup/stretching 60k x 10 -fast 60k x 10 -fast 100k x 4 140k x 4 180k x 4 220k x 4 240k x 4 (80%) 255k x 3 (85%) Stopped here , back was stupidly pumped and wanted to save something for 18s 18" rack pulls ( actually 17 and a bit lol) 220 x 2 260 x 2 300 x 2 Knocked it on the head , 300 double felt easy but back was on fire from the earlier work to the point of almost being numb and im still wary of losing form so not being able to feel whats firing is a big no no, original plan for the next few months was to pull from 18" after every dead session but realised tonight thats just not realistic or smart , gonna try alternate weeks with a session dedicated to one or the other and see how that goes , on the whole not a bad session and still on track ![]() | ||

![]() Chris 'The Magician' Melling Member 1443, 978 posts SQ 270, BP 180, DL 320770.0 kgs @ 135kgs UnEq | 8/1/2013 Overheads My OH sessions have been really up and down last few months and I keep second guessing my gym work but after and easy log pb last event session down Simons theres obviously been an improvement so not gonna panic so much over the gym work and just accept that I am slowly getting there. Strict press 5 mins warmup/stretching 60k x 10 60k x 10 70k x 4 80k x 4 90k x 4 100k x 2 - tough Pushpress 100k x 4 - bas***d knee!! Got 1 rep but pain in my dodgy right knee was instant and pretty much unbearable , still hoping its tendonitis but wont know for sure till I speak to my doc again. Back to strict 100k x 2 95k x 4 90k x 4 80k x 4 60k x 10 Called it a night , pissed off about my knee but im hoping that laying off squats for a couple of weeks will make a difference , still gonna do yoke and gonna try slow shallow leg presses and hack squats as the pain is only really bad when I squat deep or move sharply , fingers crossed it is only tendonitis ![]() | ||

![]() Chris 'The Magician' Melling Member 1443, 978 posts SQ 270, BP 180, DL 320770.0 kgs @ 135kgs UnEq | 10/1/2013 Leg session Thrown the towel in as far as deep squats go for the next few weeks , knee pain is only really bad at around or below parallel so biting the bullet and dropping them for now , as long as I can maintain leg strength for yoke pick ups it shouldnt be a problem in the short term and hopefully should go someway to resolving the issue in the long term. Leg press - to fully warm up and stretch. 10 mins warm up/stretching 1 plate a side x 10 - slow and solid , maybe 2/3 of regular movement 2 plates a side x 10 - as above 3 plates a side x 10 - as above Squats with safety bars on highest setting and dead stop each rep 60k x 10 100k x 4 140k x 4 160k x 2 - really tough but very little pain 160k x 2 Squat pick ups to simulate yoke pick ups , around 4" rom and walking on spot for 10 secs 180k x 4 220k x 4 260k x 4 300k x 4 - amazing how tough 300k on a bar feels compared to 300k on yoke 300k x 4 Leg extensions - avoiding fully locking out and keeping tension on at all times. 4 sets x 10 light to medium weight just to get blood pumping Done , strangest leg/squat session ive had in a long time ![]() ![]() | ||

Did mess about with 100kg keg and axle but nothing worth logging on here tbh , happy with yoke but a bit of a wake up on the stones , thought I could just start back and still be doing160 plus but wasnt to be , one problem was my new belt isnt tapered and I couldn't get down to lap the stones with it on so had to go beltless , have to decide now whether to pick up a tapered belt or perservere without and see if I actually benefit in the longrun , decisions decisions ..........but nice ones ![]() | ||

Two attempts at this and no go. Seated row on hammer lever machine , alternate arms 1 plate x 10 2 plates x 10 3 plates x 4 4 plates x 4 4.5 plates x 4 Done , bit pissed off missing 310 but confident that I would get it easily from blocks , never feel strong doing rack pulls esp as the gym rack is really narrow so no give in bar at all . Rows felt strong , bout time I did some focused upper back work , been lazy last few months lol | ||
