Member 887, 337 posts SQ 0, BP 207.25, DL 0207.3 kgs @ 132.5kgs Eq | Post Edited: 16.12.2009 @ 16:57 PM by Toby Back training light after the mini comp on saturday, rest week was the most boring thing i think i have ever done in my life.Comp went well, missed my heavy squat but its in me soon i'm sure, i just need some time to get used to squatting in the ER rack and not the power cage - i found it much harder to get my footing right without the struts at my side to judge it on. I guess its just one of those things and after using the ER rack a few times i will get used to it. Results: Squat Bench 82.5 87.5 92.5 Deadlift 185 197.5 205 Total = 442.5 I am sure i could've got the 155 squat if my feet where in the right place, the 132.5 was just a huge cockup. Last bench and deadlift where quite easy, another 5kg on deadlift was in me on the day i think. Squats 1 x 5 20kg 1 x 5 60kg 1 x 4 90kg 1 x 3 110kg 1 x 1 120kg 1 x 1 130kg Beltless PB 1 x 1 140kg Belted Felt really sore and acheing after this so decided to leave it at that for today. new beltless PB was slow but it went up in the end so i was quite happy. | ||

In my opinion your doing way too many singles. Get some reps in around the 5 rep mark to cement your technique and come back to maxes in 5 weeks. your CNS will be taking a battering. and also you NEED to do assistance work. | ||

Was planning to do 3x5 or something like that next week in all lifts, working up to singles in the 3rd week of january. I normally try to do more assisatnce work, but i felt really stiff and dead today so i left it - i probably shouldnt be doing much the week after a competition anyway tbh. | ||

You do pretty much nothing bar squat, bench and dead and IMO alot of your squats aren't to depth (atleast the ones I've seen anyway, even the 100kg paused was very iffy depth) I think you over complicate things too much, almost 1year training and you're doing paused squats, board benchs, and have tried the coan/ phillipi and ortmayer for deadlift. What you should be doing is just lifting, higher reps, hardly any singles and nailing the form. Also, you don't need a metal viking, I couldn't hit depth with 250kg today with straps down and belt ontop of suit; you don't need a katana or whatever it is you;re buying cause you don't have the strength to finish the lift once the shirt has given it's kick; you don't need a deadlift suit cause you should just be doing deads, lower weights to work form and speed, making sure to drive the hips through mega fast etc. You did 9 singles and think you shouldn't be training? I train 2 or 3days after an all day strongman comp where we do far far more than 9 lifts. IMO even if you're sore you need to do the assistance stuff. Alot of the time I'm in pain after deads from back pumps, but still stay in the gym and do the assistance stuff. The assistance stuff is where the strength is built, you're missing out so much by not doing it! | ||
