‘downsizing’ Member 5704, 3206 posts SQ 280, BP 210, DL 320810.0 kgs @ 96.3kgs UnEq | Agree going for psyched up maxes in gym all the time is not sensible - comp should be where your biggest lifts are. | ||

‘downsizing’ Member 5704, 3206 posts SQ 280, BP 210, DL 320810.0 kgs @ 96.3kgs UnEq | 31/5 Chorley Calf still problematic few sets up to 200 Lilliebridge wraps 1x235 2x270 2x1x200 paused stopped calf sore Leg press 2x15 light Rows 1x70,3x120,3x160, Straps 3x200,5x190 Again I enter a comp with another niggling squat related injury - think I might do push/pull next time lol... Was aware of calf strain all time so 270 double turned into 2 slow descent short paused efforts 1-2" above parallel. Still good to get a bit of heavy weight on back. Walkout is worst for calf so glad there's a monolift. Warmup pain will dictate what weigh I open with. | ||

‘downsizing’ Member 5704, 3206 posts SQ 280, BP 210, DL 320810.0 kgs @ 96.3kgs UnEq | last heavy session tonight (bench) then 8 days of taper and I really do need this recovery now. next starts the fun of getting from 106.5kg to 100kg. hoping a bit of water loading, sodium reduction and carb restriction will get me down to about 102/103 night before weigh in then just a evening of hot baths/showers to remove the final 2/3kg. | ||

‘downsizing’ Member 5704, 3206 posts SQ 280, BP 210, DL 320810.0 kgs @ 96.3kgs UnEq | genesis 2/6 bench press paused comp grip bar x loads 60 x loads, 80 x 2 x 2, 100 x 2, 120 x 2, 140 x 2, 160 x 2, 180 x 3 slingshot shoulder width grip 'speed' reps all easy 140 x 3, 160 x 3, 170 x 3 - stopped here as just felt a little twinge in elbow triceps pushdowns few light sets shoulder press 1 light set of 25 reps or so last heavy session - wanted a 'training max' today (e.g. a hard effort without psychological stress). heavy triple was good got very tight and was good for another rep i think had my calf not cramped. 3-4kg weight gain over last time has helped enormously on bench and I am feeling pretty confident 200kg is there on the day with psyching up, spotters and handoff. | ||

‘downsizing’ Member 5704, 3206 posts SQ 280, BP 210, DL 320810.0 kgs @ 96.3kgs UnEq | Comp weighed in 98.25 - Again I cut more than needed Squat 220 - easy 240 - easy but 1 red 255 - fail made a right mess of it Bench 170 - easy 185 - easy new record 190 - a bit harder new record Deadlift 260 - easy but strained hamstring and ripped thumb open stopped there Total 690 Very hot and humid in venue and cramp was a nightmare from the start. Squats were never going to be good from calf injury hampering training. Bench good considering amount of cramp I had by then. On deadlift had to curtail warmups because I could see my thumb was about to rip open which no doubt led to straining hamstring and not taking any more lifts on. | ||

‘downsizing’ Member 5704, 3206 posts SQ 280, BP 210, DL 320810.0 kgs @ 96.3kgs UnEq | I don't mind cutting tbh - don't think it weakens me as I'm not losing more than 2-3kg from carb deplete and 2-3kg from sauna - pretty easy to restore on 24 hour weigh in. Big problem I found today was tons of cramping because it was like a sauna in that venue. | ||
