cheers dude. I take it you mean on the chins?

Training today:

Log clean + press (1st rep clean):

80kg x 3
90kg x 2
100kg x 1
110kg x 1
110kg x 3 fails Angry
100kg x 2 fails Angry

Stones (to 46"):

110kg x 1
130kg x 1
150kg x 2 fails - went up about 2" Angry
130kg x 1

big wakeup call. im s**t at log pressing outside. even more s**t than I imagined. feels light but I just cant balance the c**t. all log pressing is going to be done outside from now on. getting back to basics with light weights treating 110 as my max.

stones were pretty s**t too. 150 was going nowhere.

Mate I know its simplistic, but if you are strong enough to press 120+ inside, you can do it anywhere. Think you may have just got the outside thing into your head. As long as its not blowing a gale it should not make a difference

You WILL press 120+ next session if you just get this "its outside" thing out of your head. No way, having seen your vids, you wont!!

Will might steal your bar on the power rack idea to do stones over.

JC, Neil - aye you may well be right. im going to stick with training it outside though as it closer to comp conditions. whether its in my head or not hopefully ill be able to work it out before the englands.

tony - steal away mate! that is a 2.5" bar that I dont use anymore though and its got tacky and s**t all over it so might be worth just getting a scaffold pole to do the job. also make sure you get a decent cushioning system to to drop the stone on. ive had alot of flying/bouncing stone accidents!

lol I dont know, clean feels normal but as soon as ive got it racked on my chest I feel unbalanced. and when I go for the press I keep throwing it to far forward. ive done log press in outside comps 3 times and every time ive had big problems balancing.

when you have the log in the rack position make sure you have your pinkies facing up and when you press the log will naturally move over you head, instead of going out to the front.

Also, if you can see over the top of the log when you have it cleaned. Pick something to focus your eyes on, this will help you balanc.

the only difference is the focus of eyes.

if you just stare into the sky, it is quite possible that this causes imbalance. Much like you would keep your eyes shut - your brains dont have anything to take cauge from how to keep the balance automatically.

thatll be it. I guess the only solution to that is to just keep practising outside till I get used to it?

maybe some wiser men could tip in, but personally, when i clean i tend to look at the edge of the log, not the greatest i know, but immediately after the press starts you have to focus on something in the background. Not a conscious effort really, but cant be staring up into the sky Grin

yeah i would think you get used to it pretty fast mate.
