The doctor thinks my issue could be caused by a small "bucket-handle" meniscus tear. I hope I don't need an operation.  Anyway, my knee is feeling better every day and the doctor didn't detect any significant instability, so it felt like I could do my squat session today. Cycle 3 Week 1 Back squat 95x5 110x5 125x10 80 5x10 Did these instead of overhead squats, which would have placed more pressure on the knee. A bit boring, to say the least. Big props to Fong for sticking with BBB all this time.  Tough on the lower back, too. Bulgarian split squats 16kg DB in each hand, 5 reps per leg x5 Went easy on those, as a concession to "resting" my knee.  | ||

I suppose so, but it doesn't feel dodgy at all, and usually isn't 99% of the time.  Gotta hope I'm not being really stupid.  | ||

no longer the Swiss Deadlift record holder Member 3517, 3368 posts SQ 182.5, BP 122.5, DL 255560.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | Events training in Burgdorf (Switzerland) with 3 other guys. Some nice kit on hand. Monster dumbbell (plate loadable) L/R 40kgx1, 50kgxF (wrist wraps), 45kgx1 (wraps + elbow sleeves), 50kg Rx1, LxF(wraps+sleeves) Conan's wheel ~200kg 3 turns. Didn't feel the need to go heavy on this since I won't be competing at it. Axle G2OH, 55, 65, 70, 75, 85x1, 95F, 95F. What I can't outright clean DOH, I can't continental clean with any kind of grip. Just can't seem to keep that bar on my chest and dip under. Feck, fack, f**k. Need more practice but won't get any for a while now. Not a comp event, thankfully. Atlas stone: 90x1, 120x1, 120x1, 120x1, 120xF. Log 62x1, 72x1, 82F, 82F, 77x1 A good heavy session, well, as heavy as I can handle anyway. Got a few technique tips, got my hands on some actual implements, got confirmation that my overhead strength is balls. Success! | ||

no longer the Swiss Deadlift record holder Member 3517, 3368 posts SQ 182.5, BP 122.5, DL 255560.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | Cycle 3 Week 2 Squats 101x3 116x3 130x10 OHS 50kg 5x10 Step-ups (lower box than 2 weeks ago, to reduce pressure on knee) 16kg KB in each hand, 5x10 each leg Still feeling the effects of the Sat session, and didn't feel particularly strong. That 10th rep at 130 was a bit dodgy. | ||

no longer the Swiss Deadlift record holder Member 3517, 3368 posts SQ 182.5, BP 122.5, DL 255560.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | Thanks! The name's Ewen. Not sure for the DL's. If I had to take a pick I would say it's the good-mornings. They've helped me keep my chest up when squatting as well, I think. Maybe also the better grip from those heavy max rep sets and FW/fat grip work? We'll see how I keep progressing. Maybe next year I'll come over, since the few comps we have in France and Switzerland overlap so much, but it's a long way for a hobby that my wife barely tolerates. | ||

At some point I may want to work on those a bit, or a lot.Deads 134x3 152x3 172x11 Belt and straps = gay. Belt was planned, straps were because gym was out of chalk and I was sweating like a pig and I wanted to get decent reps this isn't grip work, son. GM 55kg 5x10 Six-pack hollow rocks, a couple of TGUs, high windmills and low windmills with a 24kg KB, hanging windshield wipers x12, toes to bar 2x10 | ||

no longer the Swiss Deadlift record holder Member 3517, 3368 posts SQ 182.5, BP 122.5, DL 255560.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | Over the week-end I made myself some sandbags (20, 25, 40 and 80kg) and weighed that old millstone that was lying in a corner in my parent's garage (80kg). Then I tried lifting said implements. :-D Went well enough up to 40kg, but I could barely shoulder the 80kg sandbag and was reduced to repping out some "hip thrusts" with the stone. I've decided that I'll be storing as much strongman kit as I can in my parents' old barn until we get a house of our own with a huge garage. Today = squats (Cycle 3 Week 3) Back squats 110x5, 125x3, 137x10 Front squats 100x2, 120x1, 140x1 (PB) Zercher squats 100x1, 120x1, 140x1 (PB) Since I've got a week of vacation and deload coming up, I decided to switch to heavy "assistance" work instead of the higher rep stuff. | ||
