I've learnt I prefer it way more than stopping at the lap, then chest, then press, it's too much pausing just for one lift, plus I can't for the life of me learn how to breath with the log on my chest so it's better not to put it there lol. Although I do pause at the lap when it gets heavier but not the chest. Next thing is to learn how to push press on the log properly, learn how to get proper leg drive whilst keeping balance and I'll probably have myself the 100 I'm after

We have a very good powerlifter in our gym...can 275 at 80ishk

He sometimes drops deads for months and comes back fresh and injury free.

I also am inclined to drop deads when they pinch for more than 2 or 3 sessions and have no issue returning.

Also, you could still do 18" partials or slds or romainans?

or train at 50-70% 5x5 only...thats how I intent to return and work on volume speed and form.

Either way, what you are doing at the mo is making your injury(s) worse and making you frustrated...it would me also mate.

Yeh I think I'll go with the 50 - 70% 5x5 for a month or two.
Might start at 50% then put it up 5 kg a week until I get to 75% then see how I'm feeling. I'm not in any daily pain any more so it must be getting better, just light pain here and there at the mo

This is a good plan mate.

Bit of core work as well maybe?

Squats is about the only core work I do lol

28/4/15

Squat
Bar x 12 x 2
60 x 5
80 x 3
100 x 2
120 x 2
Add belt / knee sleeves
145 x 4 should have been 5. Had it in me for sure but backed out for some subconscious reason, maybe having no spotter?
100 x 10 x 2

Leg extensions
3 sets of 12 increasing weight each set. Going up nicely this exercise lol

Note to self - stop using the bar with knurling in the middle for squatting. Feels f**king horrible towards the end

No it's on a shrug machine mate with side handles, but they're a bit rubbery and with sweaty hands it gets slippy. Chalk would probably sort it.

First time in for a couple of weeks. The cars been off the road so couldn't get down the gym, been very frustrating!
Going to slowly get back into things over the next month then plan on hitting it full swing again and smash some pbs!

Deadlift
Bar x 12 x 2
60 x 5
100 x 5
120 x 5 x 5
140 x 6
All belt less obviously

Shrugs
80 x 12
120 x 12
160 x 12
200 x 12

All I had time for as I spent a lot of it chatting to my mate catching up about his great performance at bodypower the weekend.

Nice to be in the gym again
