Go ! go ! team strengthshop !!! Member 18, 5295 posts SQ 185, BP 130, DL 230 545.0 kgs @ 95kgs UnEq	Cheers Neil, Adam and J to the C! stephen said: Looking good on the stones bud, might need to re-think this head to head and add in some of your weaker events. Thanks man. You should know by now I have no weak events though... (apart from farmers... and deadlift... and medleys... and chain drag... ) Tonight, as per The (very slightly revised) Plan... Axle press 5x65 2x75 2x5x80 - all solid. 3rd set was in there, but knee giving grief. Plan is after this Plan to only do seated/strict pressing for a while. 2 5's at 80 is still ok tho, 5's at 85 next week will be tough, but if they go 100+ will be IN THE BAG. Front squats 5x60 2x5x95 - no snappiness tonight, but reps were not in doubt. Zercher squats 2x5x100 - tough, but largely due to ther pressure these seem to put on the diaphram. wonder if there's any way to avoid this. If not, might just take it back down to 90's next week, seemed to not be an issue on the lighter weights. Pull ups 2x4

Playing with the wraps a wee bit, but only used them on one set of squats last week. Think I will introduce them slowly tho, just feels weird to wrap them, though the reps did feel easier which is nice Couple days rest and a solid session tonight; Squats 6x60 - didn't feel that light bad sign 3x90 1x120 - heavy off the rack, but squat is fine 2x5x130 - solid, almost easy. nice. will take it to 135 next week, though i'm tempted to go to 140. have to reign it in tho - the Plan says no to 140. Bench 8x60 5x80 6x95 - supposed to be 5's, but got carried away! easy as well, 8 or more in there i'd say 2x9x95 - easy - 5's at 100 next week will be nailed Deadlift 5x110 1x140 2x5x160 - smooth. no doubt. 1x160 - tried it double overhand (without hook) just to see, and it was easy, should have pulled all reps like this really, just didn't want to take the chance on the main sets. 5's at 170 next week - IN THE BAG. That'll do it. Really happy with the session, and The Plan so far.

I find that its easier to hold and then takes pressure off my mid-section, plus my hands dont go numb for days after doing them with the bar pressing on the nerves or something similar in the forearms.

Aye Ken, I've always used the axle for the zerchers. Really like them, but was just when I went that wee bit heavier that I really felt it crushing my diaphram or something. Get the same with sandbag carry and similar events too - not sure if it's technique, or a dodgy body part Axle is comfy enough on the arms like you say tho, wouldn't fancy a normal bar digging in tho!

Aye, they've got to be good for s**t like stones, and stuff like sandbag where it needs brought from knees to chest/upper abs. Hip strength i guess, and that's one thing I definitely lack. Will hopefully help with front and back squats too.
