Good session today. Still not got the timing and speed there but an improvment from last week. It was alos gratifying that the last set of 160 it finally came together and the best set of the day.

Board work was solid. However I was using my mates mini bands for a bit of speed work at the end, but quickly discovered they were super-minis. A big difference in tension, and made what was meant to be uber light and fast into somewhat less so! Good all the same.

Nice solid benching Iain.

Cheers JC

hahaha I was gonna say, Westside guys don't even use super-minis too often

I'm impressed you were hitting those pullaparts; I found the 2 minis damn hard! felt good on the upper back though

good stuff mate

My upper back was burning lol

Tough lifting today. After the lab work didn't have much in me. I died quick, and just managed some solidish work. Plus my arms felt rapped after the partial work. Although the prescription pain killer I found in my bag helped after (was my Dads after he had a bike crash a few years back lol). I am sure it'll be okay for next thurs benching. Ce la vie etc.

Half squats? What's next, an IPA meet?

Better start to cut them half squats then!

Good session today. Was really in the groove for the last two singles at 245. Went conservative on the ultra's with just singles, then finished with one hard set of narrow conventionals. Didn't feel as thrashed as last week so all's good.

Paul was at SSM on Saturday with Tanya

good times there Iain
