Dumbell 40 x3 40 one motion each arm Yoke 135 x30m 215x30m 295x30m 135x30 super fast as a demo 335x5 bar was set to high so kept catching floor and couldn't be assed at this point. Stone (wasn't meant to do these but people were using them and couldn't say no) 90 lap, then another 1 motioned 135 fail (not tacky, very dusty and kept slipping) 135x1 with a tiny bit of tacky. | ||

not actually strong Member 5779, 811 posts SQ 220, BP 150, DL 285655.0 kgs @ 105kgs Eq | Had a week off due to my sciatic nerve playing up last sunday, eating has been terrible too.

Dumbell 40 for a few reps Yoke 220 x 20m 240-255 x 20 ( didnt check weight, struggled for some reason) Deadlift (no planned but couldnt say no) 220x1 230x1 equal p.b 240 fail got past my knees just ran out of energy, should have hitched it) time to drop the weight no and work on volume to build up to it. Farmers no chalk 100x10 120x10m 120x15m | ||

Member 5964, 573 posts SQ 240, BP 160, DL 265665.0 kgs @ 99kgs UnEq | Good session today mate, you deffo have that 240 deadlift in you. Looks like we'll need to be pulling 260 now for the yorkshires! | ||

not actually strong Member 5779, 811 posts SQ 220, BP 150, DL 285655.0 kgs @ 105kgs Eq | Yeah, i think 260 is going to be too big an ask in such short time. On the flip side I've never been good at a high deadlift so would have still been my bogey event. Should be a good comp, think it'll be close between us. | ||

Bit of stretching trying to ease my tight back/glute/hams. Wanted to do a lil bit more assistance work but had very little sleep and left work late so happy just to do a bit of light volume work. | ||
