Member 3850, 516 posts SQ 212.5, BP 157.5, DL 240610.0 kgs @ 76kgs UnEq | 23/9/13 Started off with deadlifts but my legs and back was that tight from yesterday I couldn't get down to pick the bar up. Sacked it off after a few warm up sets. Will hit some deads on Thursday. Bench Bar x lots 60x5 80x5 Paused singles 100 110 120 130 140 All comfortable Wide grip bench press 120x1 130x1 140xf Felt like trying a wide grip as my normal bench is quite narrow. Felt horrible so the experiment didn't last long. Narrow grip bench 100x5 110x5 120x1 130x1 Last rep and all singles paused. Pushdowns 2 sets of 10 reps 2 sets of 5 reps. Not a bad session just felt a bit drained from the squats yesterday. My fault for having a week off. | ||

Member 3850, 516 posts SQ 212.5, BP 157.5, DL 240610.0 kgs @ 76kgs UnEq | 25/9/13 Squats Bar x lots 60x5 80x5 100x5 120x3 140x2 160x2 for 6 sets Took me a while to get going on squat tonight still feeling a bit sore from Sundays squat session. But by the last 3 sets I was flying again. Deadlift 70x5 100x2 125x2 155x1 180x1 205x4 t+g These felt nice and comfortable was meant to do 2 sets of 4 but just felt my trap again so stopped nothing to worry about just being safe with British coming up. Wide pull ups 5 sets of 10 bodyweight | ||

Member 3850, 516 posts SQ 212.5, BP 157.5, DL 240610.0 kgs @ 76kgs UnEq | 12/10/13 British Classic Championships All training had been good leading up to this barring a few niggles in my back and trap felt in really good shape. Bodyweight was also fine so good in fact I allowed myself a big bowl of pasta the night before. Woke up on the morning weighing 73.2kg so had a bowl of porridge and protein shake and set of to horncastle. Got weighed in made weight easily weighing 72.7kg lightest I've ever weighed in at. Refuelled and did sone mobilty drills etc. Squat warm up Bar x lots 60x5 80x5 100x3 130x2 150x1 170x1 Warm ups felt fast and fluid no problems back was a little tight but no worse than usual. Lift 1 180kg 3 white lights absolutely shot up. Lift 2 190kg failed 2 to 1 on depth. Felt so easy coming up but knew that I had cut it short on the way down. Think I got nervous and came up too early. Lift 3 192.5kg fail. Dropped this extra low as I was worried about depth but cause I dropped it so low no power in the hole. Really disappointed with this as squats were going so good in training and this is the first time I've ever been failed for depth. Bench press Warmups Bar x lots 60x5 80x5 100x2 110x1 120x1 130x1 Lift 1 135kg 3whites easy opener ridiculous pause at bottom longest I've ever experienced. Lift 2 142.5kg fail. Held down again for at least a 5 count ruined my explosivness off my chest. Lift 3 142.5kg 3 whites good lift. After a great pep talk from Paul cooper absolutely blasted this off my chest. Finished not too bad on bench but know I'm capable on a good day of 150+ which will come once I put everything together. Deadlifts. Warmup. 60x5 100x3 140x1 170x1 190x1 Lift 1 205kg 3 whites very comfortable but as I. locked out felt my trap and pec both pulling badly. Went to my bag and covered the area in deep heat Lift 2 215kg 3 whites easy. No problem with trap or pec. Lift 3 230kg fail. Soon as I started the lift felt like my pec was gonna tear so put it straight back down. Gutted as I honestly think I could have pulled 230. Total = 537. 5 kg. 2nd place in the 74 seniors and an equal pb total so not too bad but if things had of gone my way could have been a lot more. Great weekend enjoyed every minute of it. Highlights include tom martins 350kg deadlift, coaching my mate Rich in his first Ever British champs. And coaching Millsy to a pb total and watching him smash 2 British records in the process. | ||
