 slightly smaller bat Member 15, 304 posts SQ 135, BP 70, DL 147.5352.5 kgs @ 63kgs Eq | Sunday at Unit 20 for strongwoman play-time  Log press 5x30k 3x36k 1x41k PB really easy fx46k (turned out it was probably 44.5k unbalanced cos wasnt loaded the same on both sides) fx43k but I feel I should have made it - disappointed I didnt and also wish I could have had another go because I am sure 43k was there Yoke 20m 130k 15k 170k with 3drops good weight to work on failed pickup on 210k 40m 130k with a set down to turn around Stones 2 attempts with 80k baby - the second attempt felt like the best to date but still a way to go I was a bit cautious at the moment because my top priority is the PL comp and PLing in general of course - and I think I have a very slight trap-pull from light shrugs on Thursday. So I didnt do farmers. But actually trap feels better now than it did earlier today. Enjoyed the session v much | ||

slightly smaller bat Member 15, 304 posts SQ 135, BP 70, DL 147.5352.5 kgs @ 63kgs Eq | This week will be normal and then next week one session with my openers on Tuesday and then maybe some light work on Thursday to keep the neural impulses thing going on. With regards to bench press I have 2x2x55k to do early next week and then hoping to get 57.5k at the comp which will be a PB | ||

slightly smaller bat Member 15, 304 posts SQ 135, BP 70, DL 147.5352.5 kgs @ 63kgs Eq | I am really struggling to know what to go for in the comps.... Squat: 75/82.5/87.5 ??? Bench: 47.5 / 52.5 / 57.5 ???? or 50 / 55/ 57.5???? DL: 115 / 122.5 / 130 ?????? I am struggling with how big gaps I can have between attempts so as to minimise tiring myself out on the first two attempts but not to make the jump too big..... HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | ||

left the country satisfied Member 10, 19241 posts SQ 240, BP 150, DL 270660.0 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq | my newbie comment would be that the jumps are too small. you are getting stronger now, and you need to get used to bigger jumps. the squat opener may be too high? i would rather go 70/80/87.5 bench first scenario looks solid to me, second one is hunting for a good total? you probably dont have to worry about total at this comp? deads also, big opener, small jumps there. why not bag a nice a easy opener, and jump a wee bit more towards your ultimate lift? 110/120/130 three PBs is a good target  | ||

slightly smaller bat Member 15, 304 posts SQ 135, BP 70, DL 147.5352.5 kgs @ 63kgs Eq | Monday 16th July 2007 I have been really sore after squats - mostly on my back which I have been hitting really hard lately. I had been planning on a Sunday back workout as I missed my DL and back session last week but my body was telling me rest is more important at this stage than training. Today I was supposed to rest but I was in a bit of a dilemna because I have been doing this Russian programme on bench and I wanted to do this week's session so after a rubbish day I needed something to cheer me up anyway so I went to gym and did just bench nothing else and it was quickly over so I dont even feel like I did anything... Bench press warmups 3x40k, 2x50k 2x2x55k EASY and then not part of the programme but because I was dying to try it: 1x57.5k PB really easy (not paused) rep. End of workout So now I am wondering whether or not to really go for it at comp this Sunday and do 50/55/60 on bench because I am 99% sure 55k paused will go no problems this comp so 60k is no loss if I dont get it but there is a chance with my current strenght and the comp adrenaline that I might get 60k.... | ||

 Is partial to the odd bender. Member 6, 10239 posts SQ 280, BP 192.5, DL 317.5790.0 kgs @ 102kgs Eq | 60kg for sure. It would be criminal to repeat a PB for a third attempt. | ||
