Member 424, 532 posts SQ 190, BP 145, DL 220555.0 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq | note from the new coan philippi program, my legs (hamstrings) are aching still now four days later!!! Obviously really working these!! Anyway, yesterday was pressing. Not a great day as just felt slow and tired, fitting in quick workout between finishing day job at 4pm and starting evening job at 5pm!! Push press 60x6 100x3 100x3 One hand db press 35x1 each side 45x1 e/s 55x1 e/s 60xf, f, f 50kg one arm press each rep from floor in 60 sec 8reps 8reps 7 reps No problem with the pressing, could do another 5 reps!! just getting as quick as poss from floor to press, then will move up to 55kg. Ideally will get 10 reps at 55kg in 60 seconds!! Seated Arnold presses 15kg db's (slow negative, really speedy presses) x10 x10 x10 front plate hold 10kg for 3 sets of 30 secs thats it...! Disappointed about missing the 60kg as I normally get that pretty easy, but just didnt feel it today. Pleased with the sets of 60sec presses - sweating like a mo-fo after these!!! | ||

Member 424, 532 posts SQ 190, BP 145, DL 220555.0 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq | Friday squats 60kgx10 100x5 - hamstrings still very very sore after new deadlift programme....shaking all over the place stopped, did 10mins on bike, 20 mins stretching 60kgx10 100x5 100x5 60x10 Just couldnt do anyweight due to hamtring soreness!!.. 10 more mins on bike... Gutted at a bad session at first, but then thought the reason my hamstrings are killing me is because I am working them harder than I have done for a long while. Prepared to let the squats suffer for a few weeks if my legs end up stronger and my strength improves....  | ||

Member 424, 532 posts SQ 190, BP 145, DL 220555.0 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq | second week of coan philippi deadlift programme.... Warmup - 70x6, 110x4,150x3 Deadlift (80%): 1set of 2reps @ 185 kg Speed deadlift (65%): 8sets x3reps @ 150 kg (90 sec rest b/w sets) 3 circuits (rest 90sec between exercises, 2-3 minutes between circuits): Stiff-leg deadlift: 8 reps Bent over row: 8 reps Underhand (reverse) grip lat pulldown: 8 reps Arched back good morning: 8 reps On about the second set of speed deadlifts my back went into spasm. Cleverley, I didnt stop. On about the fourth set my left shoulder popped. Cleverley, I didnt stop. Woke up this morning, cant raise my left arm above my head and taking about 30-40 seconds to straighten from sitting to standing. Stinking of deep heat, which is burning my skin, walking like an old man and dropping pain killers to fight of the very sore lower back, burning skin and dislocated (probably not really dislocated but certainly very uncomfortable) shoulder. I love strongman training.....  | ||

Member 424, 532 posts SQ 190, BP 145, DL 220555.0 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq | Saw physio yesterday - have now relieved that strain in my wallet!! Anyway, she said, in technical terms, I have f**ked my shoulder. She battered it for ages and ran electrical currents through it, hot stoned it, beat it, pulled it and bruised it. It feels a bit better but I have apparantly pulled a ligament, which in turn is "forcing the socket" - (which is why it crunches so loud apparently). She seems to think that it will heal up but might take a few weeks.....! Anyway, I am safe to squat etc, but no deadlifting and only very light pressing until it gets better  Seeing her again next week, if its better then she said I will be able to return to training shoulders over the coming weeks... On a brighter note, went to Strength-tec today to see the mighty Mr Frampton. Set the events and classes for CHASE comp. I was delighted that we picked weights and events that exceed my personal bests in almost every area. I will have to do a 250kg+ deadlift for reps (current deadlift, 200, best ever 220.....!!). A 220squat (my best ever is 180) and a 60kg monster dumbell, which is equal to my gym best one hand press..... Its going to be a looooooonnnnnnggggggg painful few months. At least my elbow, back and shoulder are ruined....and my back hurts.....and I have gas..!  | ||
