I find with the shirt i grip much much wider and as a result there are some weak points that need strengthening. Also really scared of the losing control of the bar! certainly changes the trajectory the bar takes... | ||

Looking good for the NW. thats true. Joni and I were discussing how much I would do today and at the training session and agreed that I should at least on squats, exploit the facilities and expertise available at the training session and therefore not tire myself out this week so to keep the squatting fairly light and avoid raw squatting this week. will you be at the training session Joe? | ||

slightly smaller bat Member 15, 304 posts SQ 135, BP 70, DL 147.5352.5 kgs @ 63kgs Eq | Wednesday 21st Nov 2007 Bench press unequipped 5x20kg 3x50kg eek felt hard 3x55kg again hard 3x60kg awful 3x55kg but I decided to go really wide grip and it felt so easy! 3x60kg wide-grip so nice 3x65kg wide - tough but nice also 10x50gk wide - reps eek! Normally I am really weak on wide-grip bench but the bench shirt which I have only worn twice forces me to be much wider-grip. Anyway was realy pleased with this! Strict press 3x10x20kg Dips 3x10xBW | ||

Nice light and easy going lol oops!!!! it was supposed to be light but then when I discovered the potential of this wide-grip bench-stuff I got a bit carried away!! I had got really angry with how hard the earlier sets felt too so maybe that helped. | ||

slightly smaller bat Member 15, 304 posts SQ 135, BP 70, DL 147.5352.5 kgs @ 63kgs Eq | Equipped squats - straps off 5x60kg With loose knee wraps 3x3x80kg felt pretty easy but still painful!!! Deadlifts - Phil Richards sent me a DL suit that I squeezed myself into with difficulty. Getting down to grab the bar is the hard and painful bit. And then I found that at 130kg it makes the lockout (my weakness) even harder than raw 130kg because takeoff is easy and then all of a sudden the weight hits me just where I am weakest. Mind you 130kg was without a belt and I would never DL over 110kg without a belt! 1x80kg 1x100k 1x110kg 1x130kg And then raw: 3x100kg Lateral widegrip pulldowns 10x45kg 10x50kg 5x65kg And then close-grip 5,5 x 55kg | ||
