 jerking is obviously great, Member 2521, 4719 posts SQ 235, BP 160, DL 290685.0 kgs @ 111kgs UnEq | fong said:Happy with my deadlifting, got 180kg for reps with straps at my comp in a few weeks, hoping for around 5-6 on the day too. 180kg without straps today felt comfortable, I reckon I have at least 2 more hitched to f**k but I won't be nearly as fresh on the day, so who knows. Confident either way. . I think you'll be suprised how many reps you could hitch out under comp conditions. Given its quite a light weight compared to your 1RM I think you could do 50-75% as many hitched reps as clean ones, given adequate rest between reps.  | ||

 really really interesting Member 3474, 2816 posts SQ 170, BP 120, DL 260550.0 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq | well we'll see how it goes. my 1rm was hitched beyond belief, but i can quite happily pull 220 with proper form... the once! quite excited to see how it goes now, light week next week and a full week off before comp, should get me sufficiently pumped to perform well  . | ||

Squats were just to see if my shins were feeling better, which they are, thankfully. | ||

really really interesting Member 3474, 2816 posts SQ 170, BP 120, DL 260550.0 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq | First sesh in a while, been very busy with work and sorting out my weird shin pains, not to mention an ingrown toe nail that really makes life a c**t. Went down to affordable fitness in Newark just to try some of the equipment out for next Sunday's first timers comp. went with Simon and had a lot of fun, bit disappointed that there's more gyms closing at 2pm on a Saturday, but we managed to squeeze everything in anyway. 85kg log 1x clean 2x press 1x clean 3x press 1x clean 1x strict 1x one motion clean and press 1x clean 1x strict 1x press Deadlifts 5x 60kg 5x 100kg 5x 140kg 8x 180kg Yoke 15m 200kg 15m 200kg 15m 240kg Duck walk 15m 90kg 8m 180kg Logs started off scary as I couldn't even clean it. It'd been so long since I've done any log work my tech was s**te. Eventually got it, a few stricts and even a one motion lol! Deadlifts were fun, 140kg went up very fast and even the first few reps of 180kg seemed quick. My breathing and conditioning let me down though, but I'm reasonably pleased with 8. I expect 8 on the day ish. My yoke is awful and this is the second time I've ever used one, but a few wise words from Simon helped a lot. 240kg was tough but I got it. Duck walks are gay. | ||
