Right, im definitely gunning for this junior comp in feb now, f**k the knees theyre going to have to get better. Im going to attempt a squat tomorrow, even if all I do is the bar. Bar's better than no squatting.

stretch and mobility, body weight squatting ok

MP

bar x 10
bar x 10
40kg x 5
45kg x 3
52.5kg x 3
57.5kg x 10 - probably a PR
40kg x 10
40kg x 10
40kg x 10

Pin press vs doubled mini's

60kg x 10
60kg x 10
80kg x 5

Bench pull in power rack

60kg x 10
70kg x 10
80kg x 10
90kg x 10
60kg x 20

Single arm DB press

12.5kg x 15
12.5kg x 15
12.5kg x 15

Facepull

10kg x 20
10kg x 20

Rotations on grappler

10kg x 5
10kg x 5
10kg x 5

DB curl

7.5kg x 10
7.5kg x 10

Long but good session. MP was solid, easier than 55 x 10 last week and probably had a rep left in me. 60 x 10 next week would be an all time PR which id be pretty happy with.

The bench pulls were really good, I liked them a lot, no pressure on lower back, good weight moved, going to use these again in the future.

Sold myself to do this meet in february. I cant be a rugby player anymore so Im going to make a f**king good fist of this powerlifting lark. I got my squat ready for last time so with no running and a s**tload of drugs so I ll be alright to do the same again hopefully, just depends how soon I can get back to squatting. I want a 400lb squat this time if possible.

Figured id try to squat today, if it hurt too much id deadlift, if that hurt too much id good morning....

Warm up:

hockey ball whole lower body
mobility
static stretch hip flexor, calf, hamstring, glutes
more mobilty

Training:

Squat:

bw x 10
bw x 10
bar x 10
bar x 5
60kg x 5
80kg x 5
100kg x 5
120kg x 5
80kg x 5

Felt good. No pain in the knee worth mentioning, felt a little odd but I ll take that happily now.

Deadlift:

70kg x 3
110kg x 3
150kg x 3
190kg x 1

All good, 190 was fast, as it should be. I wouldve done more reps but my little finger wasnt loving it following its dislocation

Pre-rehab:

GM 3 x 10 w/bar
TKE w/light band 3 x 15
Single leg bridge with foot on a box 2 x 10 each leg
Bridge with feet on bench 2 x 10
X band walk w/mini band 2 trips, 2 steps each leg/trip
Sit up 3 x 10
Pallof Press w/light band 2 x 10/side

Really happy that I can squat and pull with the knee. I ll jump back onto 5/3/1 for them next week probably after one more session to get me back up to speed. Using a bit of a different log format because this way I ll be able to see if Im slacking off warm ups and rehab stuff, I generally do it I just dont write it down. This way I ll be sure to.

Bench

112.5kg x 7
90kg x 5
90kg x 5
80kg x 10
60kg x 10
60kg x 10

I used a suicide grip up to and including the top set. Felt different but good but to be honest ive got no reason to change it up. Could be a useful training tool for triceps movements though since I can tuck noticeably more.

Floor press:

60kg x 10
70kg x 10
70kg x 6

DB row

10kg x 10
20kg x 10
40kg x 10
50kg x 10
60kg x 15 - equal or possibly a PR

Lat pull down, focus on arching hard

42kg x 10
42kg x 10
42kg x 10
42kg x 10
42kg x 10

Good session, bench is feeling decent at the moment, I think im going to be on for a decent press at this comp in feb.

Good session, very happy with the squats. Saw stars between 2 and 3 but it came up well enough. Best ive felt squatting in a long time after all the rolling. Im doing this everytime I train hence forth. Ive done it for a while but I feel like ive really found the areas that benefit me now. Moved the stance around on the GM's after looking at cricket fire's log, I quite like wider stance ones as it goes.

Good job on the Squat PB mate, thats awesome! From your 170 at the comp it looks like there's 180+ in there right now to be honest.

Cheers bud. Im hoping so. The more I can get my squat up its going to help me total 600 sooner!

Your session the other day was awesome. Looking good for this comp. Im in touch with the AU about getting them to pay for it for us.

Just been to see a radiologist about my knees. He gave them a cheeky ultrasound and explained that both tendons were inflammed and that I had a bursa on each, much worse on the right.

He sucked the fluid out with a needle then whacked some steroids in (whey). The pain seems to have totally gone for the moment which is nice but I cant squat/deadlift for 2 weeks. If this works he ll be doing my other knee too, so that ll mean an additional 2 weeks out. Frankly I couldnt care less about the time off now, Ive had enough of being ****ed! If this means bench only at the Feb champs then bench only it is!

First effort at training post roid knee

bit of rolling, stretch, mobility - worried about the knee so left a lot of stuff out

bench (feet elevated)

bar x 10
60kg x 5
80kg x 3
100kg x 3
*add foam roller*
110kg x 4
*take roller*
60kg x 3

This felt s**t. Combination of not being able to keep an arch and being worried about the knee. I think i might do some floor pressing next time so I can totally leave the knee out of it.

Single arm DB shoulder press

10kg x 20
10kg x 20
10kg x 20

Lat raise

5kg x 10
5kg x 10
5kg x 10

Mini band pull apart

x 20, 20, 20

Lat pull down

40kg x 20
40kg x 20
40kg x 20

Palm away DB curl

10kg x 10, 10, 8

Just did something really. Starting to foam roll a bit more now, will do some later. Wont be training until the weekend now, just focusing on eating and getting this knee better. It feels good today.

what is a bench pull?

Like a chest supported row but resetting the bar on the pins in the power rack each time. At least thats what I mean by it. I think a proper bench pull is a horizontal bench along the same lines mate.

Aside:

Trained at home with LMC today. Sweet f**king christ there are some c**ts in that place. This f**king douchebag tall guy swanned in and c**ted about for about half an hour, shooting people disapproving looks and acting straight up GANGSTTAAAAARRR. He then proceeded to waddle over to the squat rack, smash on the pussy pad, 40kg and started being a general dickhead, squatting to a depth with is too high to call high.

The arsehat gym instructor then fagged over and started explaining the ins and outs of squatting with a 5ft bar, coming up with such great insights as:

'dont lean forward or your back will arch'

'try to keep it in your legs by pushing your knees forward'

'i keep these light and really go the feeling'

Honest to god im glad I cant squat or deadlift at the moment because doing either in that place is a total clusterf**k. Some of THE dodgiest wa**ers alive inhabit that place. c**ts the bunch of them.

ME Upper

Warm-up

hockey ball all over breifly, stretch rotators, dislocates

Training:

floor press

bar x 10
60kg x 8
80kg x 3
100kg x 3
120kg x 3 - PR + 2 reps
125kg x 2 - PR + rep and weight
130kg x 2 - PR + rep and weight, also equals bench PR with 130.
100kg x 8

Seated MP

40kg x 5
50kg x 5
60kg x 8

Didnt like these at all so binned it

Single arm DB press

16kg 3 x 10

Plank 5 x 30s

Lat raise

8kg x 10
9kg x 10
10kg x 10

Happy with the floor presses, 120 x 3 was hardish, 125 x 2 was easy, got that filmed. 130 x 2 was a grind and cameraman missed it. 130 x 2 is the most ive benched too so this was a good PR.
