Member 2713, 1887 posts SQ 242.5, BP 140, DL 285667.5 kgs @ 84kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 27.12.2013 @ 15:14 PM by Sawyers Tore pec 31/11/2011, had it fixed 08/02/2012. Tore my bicep 20/03/2012, didn't get it repaired. Rehab has gone well but now it's time to stop using it as an excuse and get work done.For those that don't know me, I'm 20, training in Hull, and a medical student (3rd year). Used to do Judo to a reasonable level, and do want to go back once my body isn't so fragile though will probably be more for the coaching side then competing. So I've turned my attention to (attempt) strongman and maybe PL in future. Goals for 2013: 100 bench (done) 180 squat (done) 220 dead (done) 70 OHP (done) Edit: Goals for 2014: 78-80kg at decent body comp. Pass exams Injury free Deadlift 230 (202.5) Sumo 240 (220) High bar ATG 180 (still not ATG worthy..) Low bar 200 (if I go back to doing it, though I'm preferring high bar, current 190) Bench 120 (107.5) OHP 80 (70) Log 110 (85) Axel 100 (75) FTOH 110 (90) I'd also like to be in the mix at the u80 comp in June. Also might consider some others if my strength gets to a reasonable level. | ||

Though my lower back is in pieces from all the squatting and pressing. Some reason I went back tonight.. Bench 3 @40,60,70kg 1 @80, 90, 95kg - PB again! - I think after I've finished the base cycle of Smolov il give 100kg a go and see how it is as the 95 was still pain free. Deadlifts - Fast pulls, trying to keep my form super tight 2 @ 60, 80, 80, 100, 140. Some pull downs and curls probably about 4/5 sets, don't remember. | ||

Member 2713, 1887 posts SQ 242.5, BP 140, DL 285667.5 kgs @ 84kgs UnEq | Went back to Judo again on Thursday, been 3months so feeling pretty unfit. Today: Squats 7 x 5 @130kg, had to grind some of these out unfortunately, but it had to be done. Military 8 x 4 @57.5kg, after the squats these felt pretty easy. Rehab etc | ||

Member 2713, 1887 posts SQ 242.5, BP 140, DL 285667.5 kgs @ 84kgs UnEq | My lower back was sore to a new level this morning.. I took some paracetamol then did mobility/foam rolling etc so by the time they wore off it was fine. Squats 10 x 3 @140kg - first rep felt the same as the last one so pretty pleased. Military 10 x 3 @62.5kg - looked through my old logs etc and 62.5 x 3 is a 3 rep PB so to get it for 10 sets is a massive improvement. Supported DB rows 5 @30, 36, 40kg Some curls and my rehab stuff. Overall great session, though I was in the gym probably about 2hours which (for me) is a while.. | ||

Member 2713, 1887 posts SQ 242.5, BP 140, DL 285667.5 kgs @ 84kgs UnEq | Didn't have a session planned but went in to show a friend how to squat/bench/deadlift. Supported DB rows 3 x 5 @40kg Bench 3 x 8 @40kg - I know, massive weight right! Deadlift 10(ish) x 1 @60-80kg And spent probably a good 2hours on mobility/foam rolling etc today. | ||

Member 2713, 1887 posts SQ 242.5, BP 140, DL 285667.5 kgs @ 84kgs UnEq | Trained in new gym today.. Place has tons of equipment, but the one thing that matters is useless. The squat rack has safety raises that are fixed and they're too high for me to squat in.which means taking about 4 steps back then squatting without rails. Not happy. However, there is somewhere to do GHR'S and they're not bothered about chalk for deadlifting in future. Squats 4 x 9 @120kg - felt really easy. Military 6 x 6 @55kg - again, easy. Then some rehab/general messing around on some of the new stuff. My lower back is still sore but it's the last week of the base cycle so should be all good when I get the week off squatting. | ||

Because I tore the long head and the way it attaches its practically impossible to get it back.. And would potentially compromise the repair of my pec. Functionally my bicep feels fine, maybe 95% strength compared to my other arm. Your deadlift is huge for your weight D: | ||

Member 2713, 1887 posts SQ 242.5, BP 140, DL 285667.5 kgs @ 84kgs UnEq | Nothing planned.. Flat DB presses 5 @14, 20, 24, 28kg 3 @ 32kg 2 @36kg - probably a PB, not an exercise I do often. Supported DB rows 5 @36kg 2 x 5 @44kg Bench Press Long Pauses 8 @40kg 3 x 8 @60kg | ||

Member 2713, 1887 posts SQ 242.5, BP 140, DL 285667.5 kgs @ 84kgs UnEq | No food..was not feeling great, non the less.. Squats 5 x 7 @130kg, However, on the 3rd set I paused the last rep, from then on my right lumbar region felt like it was on fire. Last set was probably the best in terms or speed etc, didn't pause between any reps and still got them done. Military 7 x 5 @57.5kg, once I got into the groove these felt easy as per. Came home, waiting for food. Back is in pieces, hopefully il be able to walk tomorrow.. | ||
