505.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq		Good work on the picking up heavy stuff. If you keep progressing on the FTOH and heavy dumbells from floor you should be in a good place strengthwise by comp time.

Oldschool Austrian gym looks good. Heavy kettlebells could come in handy.

My bodyweight is a meagre 59/60kg, been difficult to sustain a regular eating pattern as I adapt to living in another country. I will try to add some bodyweight yet I don't place much significance to it and will try my best in the competition.

My priority at the moment is my work in the hospital and going out staying active, making contacts and friends. Networking and developing my horizons takes precedent. Although, I have to try to not drink so much when I go out!

Monday 10th February 2014

Front Squats: Power clean up
Working sets:
60kg x8. x8. x8

Left shoulder and elbow pain. Too frequent pressing and cleaning recently is the likely cause. I had already felt the onset during the previous workout and should have considered better.

Overhead Squats:
20kg x8. x8.

Barbell Curls:
25kg x6. x6.

Pain continued even during curls. Had to bitterly cease.

505.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq		Keep it up mate. -A few more calories, a bit more heavy stuff and I'm sure you will put in a decent first showing.

Also, I deadlifted 210 last week and we both know you should be lifting a lot more than I am, so I hope that spurs you on to get your arse back in gear.

Thanks Robster. I don't agree with "You should be lifting a lot more than I am".

Well done on the 210 PB.
