6:19.WTF Member 3359, 3677 posts SQ 250, BP 210, DL 295755.0 kgs @ 89kgs UnEq | Missed Fridays training as we went camping for the weekend. I did the obligatory 100m farmers from the car to the camping spot with about 60Kg in each hand  Was walking for a few hours Sat and Sun, most of it with the youngster on my shoulders, small amount of Doms Monday.Monday 13/08/12 Bench LotsxBar 60x10 100x10 140x5 160x1 180x1 190x2 - Very happy, second rep was hard, but it was always going up. I'm wanting to get x3 on this, but didn't have it tonight. 180x3 180x2 - Wanted 3, messed my line up on the second rep and stopped there. 180x2 - very nearly a third 140x14 Really happy with benching tonight. CGBP 60x10 all paused 100x10 all paused 140x4 - had another I think but left it. Bench with Bands. They added about 40Kg to the top of the press. All as fast as I could do them. 60x10 80x5 100x5 80x5 80x5 80x5 80x5 Bent over rows 80x10 100x10 100x10 SLDL 60x10 100x8 140x5 160x3 180x3 200x3 Felt hard tonight, I think the walking over the weekend had tightened my legs a bit, it was hard to keep them strait. Front Squats 60x10 80x8 100x5 120x3 140x1 Wanted to do static holds but out of time. | ||

I managed to keep going pretty much full on for the duration, but it knackered me for the rest of the log session. I felt it on the heavier reps.80x5 90x3 100x1 110x1 120xf - clean was easy, didn't dip enough for the press 120x1 - easy clean, fought a bit on the press 140x1 - Clean only pb, surprised I got it, well pleased. 115x2 110x2 wanted more :/ Yoke 15m runs 170x2 170x2 210x2 240x1 10m runs 240x2 9s/19s 240x2 8s/18s 240x2 8s/17s - starting to feel good on this on 240x2 10s/21s - terrible, think I was just tired out Yoke felt hard tonight Viking Press - Strict Not sure on the weight of the empty bars. Also the weights are half way down the machine so they don't reflect the real weights added. I'll just list the weights I added. 40x10 60x8 80x5 100x3 100x2 100x3 100x2 100x2 The last ones did feel like about 100Kg strict press. Hopefully will be a bit of carry over to my log. 53Kg Dumbbell x10 Kettlebell swings 28Kg x10 x10 x10 Good session overall, done. | ||

6:19.WTF Member 3359, 3677 posts SQ 250, BP 210, DL 295755.0 kgs @ 89kgs UnEq | Tuesday - Junction Session, trained with Doddy 21/08/12 Felt knackered tonight, still got bad doms from Friday and my bicep tendons are hurting. Always enjoy a session @ the Junction though so onward Log Clean then strict every rep 35x10 35x10 70x5 80x3 90x3 100x1 pb Push Press from here 110x1 felt hard 110x1 better 115x1 120xf 120xf Both were close but I was pissed at missing them. Looking back I don't think I should have gone from a strict 100 to a PP 110, I don't think my legs were warmed up enough by the 120. Viking press - Strict Machine weight + 40x10 60x8 80x5 100x3 110x1 110xf Stones 80x2 - 48" 80x2 - 54" 80x2 - 60" 100x2 - 48" 100x2 - 54" 100x1 - 60" 100x1 - 60" 110x1 - 48" 110x1 - 54" 110x1 - 60" pb Run 80 - 60" 100 - 54" 110 - 48" 120x1 - 48" 120x1 - 54" 120xf - 60" 120xf - 60" - Both close, felt I would have had them on a good day. Run 80 - 60" 110 - 54" 120 - 48" - fail Tacky had become pretty much useless, lapped it fine, but I couldn't grip it well enough to lift it over the lip of the platform. Had fun doing these, my forearms feel like they have had a cheese grater used on them and Doddy crushed his fingers against a platform on the way up with a stone. Would like to try and do them for the next few weeks. Kettlebell Swings 28x10 40x12 40x12 40x12 Felt hard, but good High Pulls x20 x20 x20 x20 x20 Felt harder than it should have tonight, glad I went though Done. | ||

Do you always do kettlebells? I tried em today for first time, liked em Cheers! Probably will go for the 145 on the stones next week, I have done it before but I was trying more for height tonight. I should get the 120 to 60" next week which I think is needed. I started doing kettlebell swings a few weeks ago and have been doing them once or twice a week. I'm doing them to help my log cleans as I use my hips a lot on that, and to try strengthen my lockout on Deads which is my fail point. Not sure if they are working for either yet, but they only take about 5 minutes and I enjoy doing them so they are staying in for now. Just make sure you have your form right on them, you shouldn't be using your arms to do any of the lifting, and keep you back arched. | ||

Deads with bands, take about 50kg from the bottom. DOH no belt 100x10 140x8 180x5 200x3 Mixed grip, belt on 220x3 240x3 250x3 260x1 270x1 felt hard but smooth and a good lockout Done | ||
