never thought i'd say this ...... FAT c**t!

i know this hahah no idea how im gonna get stronger but lighter!!!

i would say were in trouble

Good effort on the 130kg for 10 deadlifts buddy, high rep deadlifts are a killer. You'd better not get too good though, i want to have a chance of beating you at one of the events, cause you're gonna destroy me on the stones!

thats all folks.... on the whole i think i need a kick up the arse!!!

first 5/3/1 deadlift day today and i must say went quite well

5x100kg
5x120kg
8x140kg PB

then i thought id have a go at some farmers deadlift and got some intense pain in the middle of my back had a look at some anatomy charts and it feels like its my rhomboids jus behind my traps so i plan on going seein my sports therapist during the week and try n sort that out

the worry is im entering the fun day comp which has a farmers deadlift at first i thought it could be the height as its 18" but i managed a 180kg 18" dead shortly after with only minimal pain so i think its due to being at the side i think ?!?!?

1x140kg
1x180kg &rt; muchos painos = old pb with straps

moved on to rack deads 18"

5x60kg &rt; straps
5x100kg &rt; straps
5x120kg &rt; no straps
1x140kg &rt; no straps
1x160kg &rt; you get the point
1x180kg &rt; some crumpling crap core!! and a little bit of pain

moved outside and did 2 flips of the tyre and 10 chins...

it could be that you let the upper back round more on the farmers deadlift?

You have plenty of time to strenghten those areas, if there is nothing seriously wrong there.

Good job on the deadlifting mate, hope your upper back is fine (i sometimes get some niggles in that area, but usually find it eases within a few days).

Paul

i think that could be the issue joni!

it doesnt hurt all the time just when i lift then it goes away...but also if i take a deep breath it hurts slightly, which is kinda helpin me pin point what it is but got 9 weeks to sort it

love the way u put the 10 chins in

i had every intention of doing some back work and after 10 chins i jus fort sod it hahah
