Lockout on the 200 was pretty tough, felt good overall though, going to swap out the SLDL's for these for a few weeks. Front Squat 40x10 paused some of them 60x8 80x5 100x3 120x3 140x1 Bad DOMS from Friday so I was glad to get through these, the 140 was hard. Done | ||

6:19.WTF Member 3359, 3677 posts SQ 250, BP 210, DL 295755.0 kgs @ 89kgs UnEq | Got pretty bad doms from Friday, but not as bad as last week. Last week I did front squats Monday, some heavy (for me) farmers and stones Tuesday and push press Thursday, then Squats again Friday. I'd really like to reduce the Doms I get on a Friday, I hope this is the way forward. | ||

Deficit Deads, about 4" from floor No belt DOH 60x10 100x8 140x5 180x3 Mix grip, belt on 200x3 - pb 200 was better than last week, still felt hard. With the belt on it's pretty hard to get into a good start position, should just ditch it next week. Front Squats No Belt Barx10 40x10 60x8 80x5 100x3 120x3 140x3 - pb I started messing about a little with my form on these tonight and realised that usually when I do them a lot of my weight is pushing forward onto my toes. When I made an effort to keep it back onto my heels it felt a lot better, more balanced and easier to stay upright. Happy with the 140x3. Great session, done. | ||

Right until the last rep I thought I was going to get it, they were really close. Think I'll drop back to some trebles on 130 for a week or two then have another crack.

I usually do these before Squats and it made a difference, just felt a bit more f**ked throughout. Forearm tendons were giving me quite a bit of pain by the end of tonight for the first time in a while. Well pleased with the Squats tonight, thought I might fail the set going in to it, disappointed with the deads but I was just tired for them. | ||
