 Невыносимо Высокомерный (RIP) Member 11, 965 posts SQ 190, BP 140, DL 255585.0 kgs @ 95kgs UnEq | Ow. I've been somewhat annoyed at my own shin, which I bashed very hard on my mate's bed when I went to stay with him, the bruise from which I have subsequently had to reinforce constantly during high volume deadlift sessions. But it doesn't look anywhere near as bad as that. | ||

 MIA Member 7, 621 posts SQ 80, BP 45, DL 125250.0 kgs @ 55kgs UnEq | Friday G-Camp at Sugden. Hmm, somewhat restricted by the bad toe, and even worse shin, but made it through with the help of trainers and shin pads. Useful class none-the-less. Gym Bench - wow, my benching seems to be going from strength to strength right now - I was finding doing singles with 40 kg reasonably hard after Christmas, but did 5x3 easily today  20 kg and 30 kg warm-ups 35 kg: 3 37.5 kg: 1 40 kg: 3, 3, 3, 3, 3 - all first reps were paused except the last set. Chins 3, 3, 2 - wow, that's pretty good too - definate improvement on my chins Rows 28 kg: 5 35 kg: 5 42 kg: 5, 5, 5, 5 Some squats with empty bar - to assess my knee. Didn't feel right at all, but not painful. CGBP - keeping elbows really tight (no spotter, so didn't make it too hard) 30 kg: 6, 6, 6 Saturday - REST day. Shin is so sore, i'm sore, and despite knowing I won't be training tommorow, I figured a couple of days off would do me good. My knee still isn't right, it clicks alot, even walking. So time off before more rehab prolly wont go amiss.  | ||

He wasn't even there, I just got up in the morning (well, afternoon) and I was getting ready to go out and bashed my shin. It's easily done. | ||

MIA Member 7, 621 posts SQ 80, BP 45, DL 125250.0 kgs @ 55kgs UnEq | Sunday - another rest day - at a Judo Grading. Oh, how I really want to do Judo, it's so brilliant to watch! (Especially when Mr Brown is fighting) Monday - G-Camp at Trafford - good class, except I f**ked my knee AGAIN when attempting a low kick and trying to correct it too late.  It was bloody painful, but luckily the rest of the class was sparring so that's more mental than physical. My right body kicks are getting better and better though, but the left is lagging even more what with the knee.Tuesday - well, didn't plan to train today as I was up at 4:10 am to drive 550 miles and do three surveys. However, I managed to make it home for 5 to just get to G-Camp (missing the warmup) and join up with two of the girls. Its good working in a three in someways, but today I found one of us was a bit of a spare part. Still, worthwhile class. Knee ok on everything except left bodykicks. I just can't risk twisting it again. Then, managed to get some decent benching done Don't know where that came from, what with the lack of sleep and total lack of calories.20 kg and 30 kg warm-ups 35 kg: 3 41 kg: 5 x 3!!! Woohoo! There is a video coming of the middle set hopefully. Then tried some squats to see how my knee felt. And it felt pretty good considering 20 kg bar, 30 kg, 35 kg, lots of reps 55 kg: 3, 3 - form not great, bit out of practice 40 kg: loads of sets of 3 Forms a bit off, but it will come back with practice. Bit of cycling for rehab. | ||

MIA Member 7, 621 posts SQ 80, BP 45, DL 125250.0 kgs @ 55kgs UnEq | Wednesday Deadlift Day Warm-up 10 mins Deads 60 kg warm ups 80 kg: 2, 90 kg: 2, 1 (hands already getting torn  )100 kg: 2, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1 Form not bad on most - certainly way better than its been for 100 kg. But I was distracted by the fact my hands were getting so raw again. I had never had this problem on 100 kg before, and then I realised the cause. It's to do with a change of bar, because the decent deadlifting bar (nice and worn down) is now, ahem, not so decent after a certain rack pull incident with 250 kg. And all the other bars are really really rough. I'm hoping that my skin is going to toughen up pretty f**king quick, because I wont be best amused if my deadlifting is limited by it. Then some lat work and rear delts, but to be honest, just didn't feel like I could be bothered training. This morning I feel really exhausted, but not sick. Don't know what it is - maybe just too much work | ||

MIA Member 7, 621 posts SQ 80, BP 45, DL 125250.0 kgs @ 55kgs UnEq | Thursday - decided to take the day off training. Was feeling pretty tired and my leg was really swollen again. More Muay Thai was obviouly not going to make the situation any better. Friday - Work is so hectic right now, haven't had time to think. It's really noticable on my training. I really needed a sleep this afternoon, but there was no way I was going to be able to fit it in  G-Camp at Sugden Started well - my right body kicks are getting pretty good now. But then I rapidly ran out of steam. It was mostly basic pad work today, but I was glad, nothing too complicated! Gym session Chins 4, 3, 3 - woohoo - yet more improvement These are going from strength to strength!Squats - s**te my form is all over the place. Normally I hit depth easily, yet today alot were only borderline. Practice practice practice (and a plan) is what I need.20 kg - warm-up 40 kg: 3 50 kg: 5 x 3 Rack pulls - these were great, I really managed to get the tension before pulling. 60 kg: 5 80 kg: 5 90 kg: 5 100 kg: 5 110 kg: 5 Shrugs Cycling 10 mins for knee rehab | ||

MIA Member 7, 621 posts SQ 80, BP 45, DL 125250.0 kgs @ 55kgs UnEq | Saturday - Another rest day, just not feeling quite 100%. Feeling very unmotivated with both lifting and thai boxing. Sunday - squat day 15 mins CV - warm-up Squats: 20 kg: 5, 30 kg: 5, 40 kg: 3 45 kg: 5 50 kg: 5x5 Squat form is still all over the place - this is my third squat session this week, and they have all been pretty high volume, yet I still haven't found my groove Bugger. I'm going to squat sundays (heavy volume) and wednesday (form) for the next 6 weeks. I'm hitting depth, or at least it's borderline - but it f**king should be at 50 kg!!!Narrow grip bench press (just the right grip to make sure my elbows stay really tight next to my body without putting stress on my wrist. 20 kg: 8 30 kg: 3, 3 32.5 kg: 3 35 kg: 3, 3, 3, 3, 3 15 mins CV (hard) Abs 28 kg: 8 35 kg: 8 42 kg: F (not done these for a bit!!) 35 kg + little block: 8, 8, 6 TKE's 14 kg: 20 21 kg: 20, 20, 20 Little-bigs 9 kg: 12, 12, 12 | ||

MIA Member 7, 621 posts SQ 80, BP 45, DL 125250.0 kgs @ 55kgs UnEq | Maybe I should get a shirt!! LOL Bit of catching up to do on the log - work has really taken off lately, but i'm loving every minute of it right now, it's brilliant Monday 19th - G-Camp, Old Trafford. Had a stressful day because Sparkily Dog got himself in trouble again, so just wanted to kick pads and not worry about sparring and concentrating. Really did the trick, I was completely destressed by the end. Plus the pad work was good - even demonstrating. Tuesday 20th G-Camp and gym at Sugden G-Camp: Good CV class as I really tried to push myself a bit harder. May have identified the problem (or at least a contributing factor) with my knee (which is still playing up quite badly). When I am doing left body kicks I just don't pivot on my right foot; thus my right knee is constantly getting twisted everytime i'm at Thai Boxing. I really concentrated on form once I had noticed, and of course, my left kicks were much more powerful for it. Guess it's going to take some practice, but at least I know it's a problem. Gym 3 Boards: 30 kg: warm-up 40 kg: 6 45 kg: 4, 4 40 kg: 8 (dropped the weight for the last set so I didn't need the gym idiot spotting me) Chins 5, 4, 3, 3 (more improvement ) Rows 35 kg: 8 42 kg: 8, 8, 8, Push press 20 kg: warm-up 25 kg: 5 30 kg: 4 35 kg: 3 Alex showed me a better hand position for these, but i'm going to have to practice it for a bit before sticking weight on it I think. Wednesday 21st Long day on site - up at 4:55 am and back just in time to get to gym at 7:15 pm. Not enough food, sleep or water, but still had a great session. Had no plan when I went in, so just went with how I felt. Warm up - x-trainer 1.51 km, 162 Cals, 10 mins. Hard warm-up today Deads 50 kg: 8 70 kg: 3 80 kg: 3 90 kg: 1 100 kg: 1 105 kg: 1 110 kg: 1 120 kg: 1 PB!!!!!!!! Seem to have this form thing sorted - I have a jackson curve on the higher weights, but i'm not overly bothered about my upper back rounding a little. My lower back is good now though, completely different to a few weeks ago  It's so great to pull a PB with reasonably safe form, and know that there is loads more in there. Also tried 125 kg, but it was nailed to the floor. But then things got really strange coz I tried 100 kg, twice, and that was nailed to the floor! My glutes must have been knackard from this whole new movement they have learnt. To fail 100 kg twice is shocking!!!! Cycling for rehab 20 mins Chins and rear delts Great day | ||
